Death to gays.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMw2Zg_BVzw&feature=related
Personally, I think this church should be shut down yet Government is not only not shutting them down, they leave their tax breaks and exemptions in place and are actively dealing with these, to me, murderers.
Should that church be allowed to stay in business?
How can we get the Government to do it's job and rid the country of such criminal churches?

Have they killed anyone?Originally Posted by Gnostic Christian Bishop
The government is doing its job by following the First Amendment, IMO.How can we get the Government to do it's job and rid the country of such criminal churches?
They have the right to say what they want as long as they don't act upon it.
For instance, I am protected under the same law when I say, "Those people should all be set on fire in front of their families."
So long as I don't take gas and a match to them, it's all good.
EDIT: In the interest of full disclosure; I didn't watch the video. I live in Indiana so I've seen enough gay-hating (both individual and institutionalized) to make an assumption of what happens.
Actually they don't need to act on it. It's hate speech. And by introducing a bill, and propagandizing his view, he has acted on it.
The tough issue is whether hate speech laws extend to international actions--they probably don't.
Introducing a bill? Guess I should have watched it before I commented. Or just not commented as I'm not interested in watching it.
Dude...if we kill "da gheys", how the hell are we supposed to win another gold metal in figure skating? Huh?

Just like the churches are staying out of politics.
Why do you only see one side of the coin? Are you a Christian?
Regards
DL
And are you so foolish as to think that if they did act on what you said that a judge would not slam your ass into jail?
Your damned right he would.
The question here is not the law but the morality of advocating death to gays who are not guilty of anything.
Regards
DL
Its freedom of speech. Regardless of how slanderous and morally reprehensible it is its still free speech.
The churches are free to get into politics as much as they want. The First Amendment says that we cannot make laws respecting or prohibiting any establishment of religion.
However, there is no equivalent law that says churches cannot make rules or edicts concerning any establishment of government. They are free to advocate for whoever they like, and promote (or disparage) any form of government they like.
Because there only is one side of the coin in this case.Why do you only see one side of the coin?
G R
There is free speech and there is hate speech.
What do you see coming out of that church?
Regards
DL
Not by US or UN standards it isn't. Where are you thinking of? Uganda? Afghanistan?
No clue what this sentence means.
The morality of advocating death to gays? Why is it the government's job to legislate morality? Someone is allowed to believe whatever they want. If they think homosexuals are demons and the world is better off if we murder all of them, that's fine within the law. They cannot incite violence nor commit it against those people, though.
I will not push my morals on the idiots who think homosexuals are 'unnatural' for the same reason I don't want those idiots pushing their morals on me.
You're welcome to be irate about the issue and, if like Lynx did, you can demonstrate a legal reason to act on these people then go for it. I'd love to see all those Westboro types launched out of a catapult into the ocean. You cannot demand action just because someone holds a belief that is offensive to you. Remember, your tolerance of homosexuals is not only offensive to some, but in some countries it is illegal.

Your constitution is shit. It does not respect the separation of church and state is not worthy of the U. S.
If you had a decent constitution you would nopt have the heist per capitae in jail of all th Western world.
You should re-write your constitution to one that means what it says.

Or do you think your laws put in place without a moral framework?
Only the really dense will not recognize the difference between intolerance and inciting or promoting others to kill without just cause.
This quote is for those of your ilk.
Change the labels in this quote to women, minorities, Gays or children being brainwashed by religions and it shows what we should be thinking and doing for each other.
"First they came for the Jews, but I did nothing because I'm not a Jew. Then they came for the socialists, but I did nothing because I'm not a socialist. Then they came for the Catholics, but I did nothing because I'm not a Catholic. Finally, they came for me, but by then there was no one left to help me." – Pastor Father Niemoller (1946)”
If you can get out of yourself then try thinking like a gay person having to tolerate the shit you seem to think they should.
Regards
DL
P.S. The sentence you did not understand ids that if you were to incite someone to murder without cause, a judge would fry you as well as the perpetrator that you would have created.
Then feel free to not live in the US. If you do decide to live here, you will be subject to it.
I think it does.It does not respect the separation of church and state . . . .
Nigeria has a much lower incarceration rate. Again, if their society is more to your liking, that would be an excellent place to emigrate to.If you had a decent constitution you would nopt have the heist per capitae in jail of all th Western world.

It will be good when you guys get civilized in your politics.
At present, unfortunately for all the West, your policies suck. Mind you, the U. N. is not doing what it should either but it is mostly your internal politics that we see killing you.
Not to brag but if you followed Canadian policy, you guys would be a lot wealthier and dare I say happier.

Female. One dressed as the traditional male and one in a wedding gown. The "Officiate" pronounced them "wife and wife" which I thought was kind of cool. The only wedding where I actually felt the love in the room, kind of cool also.

But at least they have the freedom to say it.
Thank you AMERICA!
It was a typical bit of shoddy journalism by MSNBC, which I would put on a par with the History Channel if you are looking for accurate reporting. There was plenty of innuendo, and practically no facts linking the "Family" to any legislation in Uganda. The "Family" is a loose organization of people from various religious backgrounds, who organize the prayer breakfasts in Washington. One of the members, apparently, is the Ugandan member of Parliament who introduced the bill. I'm not even sure about that because it is supposed to be a secret society. Anyway, some of the American members have traveled to Uganda, and MSNBC thinks they must be outside agitators, because guilt by association. MSNBC tried to spin this into a story about American fundamentalists pulling the strings of their puppets in Uganda but they don't actually have any evidence. Pathetic.If you have production questions, call her station.Please quote the part where she says its a church, and the part where she says the organization is funding the bill.

I'd put money that no one here is in the "most crowded jail system in the West" so that works.
Military? The military people I work with seem to enjoy the freedoms we have as well. But then again, perhaps the ones that are annoyed by them have already moved to Canada, where the government apparently tells you what you can and can't say.

Well at least most of us are lucky enough to live in places where the churches have little political power and have raised themselves to cherry picking and ignoring much of their own scriptures (most here are probably already familiar with them). Fortunately most major churches in Uganda, as well as around the world, came out strongly against the capital punishments parts of the anti-gay bill in Uganda.It was a typical bit of shoddy journalism by MSNBC, which I would put on a par with the History Channel if you are looking for accurate reporting.

On the other hand there was without a doubt some openly supporting the legislation such as the Evangelical Makerer Community Church in Kampala heavily backed by the large Canyon Ridge Christian Church in Las Vegas. http://www.wbur.org/npr/128491183

I do write for effect but not the way you think.
I had that link stored but lost track of time and I did not bring myself up to date when putting the O P together. My bad. That does not negate the heavy discrimination and that women and gays suffer at the hands of religions.

Don't worry, she's nothing matters morally, and then condemns what other countries think is moral. Though I expect her to say "it's just MY morals!" but then nobody has to care what one person thinks or why it's "better in value" than what others or a society thinks.Free hate speech.

In all seriousness, though, I've never met such a judgmental and emotional Canadian before. You really need to calm down with the broad brush painting, Mr. We-Elected-Rob-Ford.
Best be careful that your hate speech directed towards Christians does not run afoul of such laws.
Slander is against the law. so is obscenity. All you need is a judge to deem them obscene. done and done
When these churches begin campaigning I think they cease to be churches. Cause if that's the case all the DNC and RNC have to do is label themselves as churches and now they can campaign tax freeThe churches are free to get into politics as much as they want.

No way dude. Churches have a ton of pull. That's why you haven't seen an atheist get elected here or a Jew. You have to say you're Christian even if you're not, otherwise you're dead politically
ugh...
Welcome to the forum. Thanks for the contribution.
This is where I jump in, why do you not respect Africa as a continent? We talk about respecting gays and lesbians, but you take it a mile farther, why do you condemn free speach to a whole continent? Don't you think everyone should be free to express themselves? You sound very one sided.meh, if Ugandans think gays are evil, so be it. I don't respect Africa as a continent (they need to get over their colonial victim complex) but then it's their total prerogative.
I am pleased to see my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters being accepted into US sports this year, in a wave of popularity. I think that watching Putin's anti-gay rhetoric play out in Sochi has solidified US public opinion, and I think that the next generation will see marriage as between two people who love each other, of whatever persuasion and whatever physical sex. I think this is the norm and will distinguish the rich places, both in money and culture, and the poor places, of the Earth. I'd rather be rich and welcome everyone, personally. The poor places exclude everyone and suffer for it.
The Ugandans are about to start having banking problems.
Frankly "death to the gays" == "death to the economy." Simple as that.
What does gays and lesbians have to do with Uganda having banking problems?
I find homophobia despicable.
But then it's not for me to say what Uganda can or cannot find acceptable. I dunno, I guess for me I don't believe in forcing beliefs onto others, it doesn't lend to peace and frankly is mentally abnormal. People balk live and let live, but then most humans don't like to be badgered around.
Watch and see.
Ever heard of "the pink pound"?
That a measly answer, where should I watch?Watch and see.
No, what is a pink pound?
The Ugandans should be free to express what ever like or dislike they have, they should not be penalized by any group.
Even if they are violating human rights doing so?The Ugandans should be free to express what ever like or dislike they have, they should not be penalized by any group.
Could you explain why Ugandans "should be free" to criminalise homosexuals 1 - to the extent of life imprisonment (reduced from execution), while homosexuals "should not be free" to live their lives as they want?
1 And, indeed, not JUST homosexuals: penalties for individuals, companies, media organisations, or non-governmental organisations that know of gay people or support LGBT rights.
While I hate to make the post that proves Godwin's Law . . .

No, its not about human rights, its about the Ugandans expressing what they like or dislike.Even if they are violating human rights doing so?The Ugandans should be free to express what ever like or dislike they have, they should not be penalized by any group.
The point you seem to be missing (or ignoring 1) is that Ugandans apparently "like" violating human rights.
1 Either because you're clueless or - at a stretch - you've realised how indefensible your position actually is.
I think that it is no ones right to bully anyone into anything. In the world we live in people are doing what they want and bullying others to follow.

There have been homosexuals from the earth was conceived, it has evolved to where it is today, the problem is something is driving it to a place where its not natural anymore.
Really?
Can you name ANY communist that's been killed because I hated them?
Obviously since you think it's okay for them to be jailed for life.I don't care about gays, or lesbians
I've already pointed out the glaring inconsistency in this statement of yours.every one should live the way they chose in their own way
That wouldn't be a bullshit statement from you, would it?the problem is something is driving it to a place where its not natural anymore.
There are people who don't like left handedness or red hair too, that does not give the right to discriminate or criminalize based on those innate characteristics.
What exactly do you define as "not natural"?
The earth was not conceived and there have only been homosexual interactions for as long as sexual reproduction has.
You know, I've lived longer than most of you, over 60 years, and I have never in my life been assaulted by a gay guy or a lesbian. I don't ever recall even getting into an argument with them. I've known and worked with quite a few. I wish I could say that for heterosexuals. I'm not saying that lgbt people can't be mean, I just haven't seen it.
Bah!
You should have a night out with me.
I've had MANY arguments with gay guys AND lesbians.
"It's your turn to buy the drinks."
"What? I bought the last round".
"No you f*cking didn't, Jim did."
You know, I've had those kinds of arguments in bars. What do you know. They were all gay. I never knew.
people are people, there are no ifs or buts, there should be no contention of who wants to be who. people are the ones who put up the rules and they are the ones who break them. Gay does not mean violence or anything more than gay.
Do you support the persecution of gays, or do you believe gay people deserve Human rights?
It's an either/or position here, no middle ground.
What?
OK, well what if they decide they dislike you and you should be burned alive if they catch you? Are you OK with that?No, its not about human rights, its about the Ugandans expressing what they like or dislike.Even if they are violating human rights doing so?The Ugandans should be free to express what ever like or dislike they have, they should not be penalized by any group.
It was a joke. I don't explain jokes. It ruins them for everyone who gets it.That a measly answer, where should I watch?Watch and see.
Stargate- I am still waiting for you to answer my questions in post #82
I'd add that human rights are not valid, and social norms/morality trumps all.
Per what definition are they not valid?
Per what biological definition of normal?
Per who's morals?
That's like saying: "This sentence is false."
Social norms of a culture.Per what definition are they not valid?
Per what biological definition of normal?
Per who's morals?
And they're not "valid" because they have no true standing. Life is tough.
I never said they couldn't have it.This is where I jump in, why do you not respect Africa as a continent? We talk about respecting gays and lesbians, but you take it a mile farther, why do you condemn free speach to a whole continent? Don't you think everyone should be free to express themselves? You sound very one sided.meh, if Ugandans think gays are evil, so be it. I don't respect Africa as a continent (they need to get over their colonial victim complex) but then it's their total prerogative.
But then I don't condone the brutalising of anybody, so I don't support this.
Per Which culture?Social norms of a culture.Per what definition are they not valid?
Per what biological definition of normal?
Per who's morals?
And they're not "valid" because they have no true standing. Life is tough.
Per which biological definition of normal?
Who dictates they have true standing?
Stargate's forte is making patently stupid comments and then failing to respond to questions when it gets too difficult for him.
In a different thread he opined that e=mc2 produced differing results for men and women. I'm still waiting for some comeback on that.
Gay people do not need to be anything more than people, they can live the life they want to live, no body should be forced to do what they do not want to do.
There are people who are born homosexual that is not new, there are people that are not born that way, I do not care if they want to be homosexuals. I am just not for anyone bullying me to be what I do not want to be. If Ugandans decide they do not like that way of life, they should not be sanctioned or threatened with bank failures or penalized in any way.
