If only they shared the same fate as the missionary who went to North Sentinel Island.
(before I get banned for promoting violence, realize what they're promoting in Africa. THAT is true violence. Them getting killed would be mercy for the continent)
Ben Shapiro should invite those Ugandan lawmakers on his show. Or blog. Whatever it is he does.
Heh I'm sure a bunch of them are.
I believe their founder started out by seeking out Nazi war criminals at the behalf of the US State Department. He didn't subscribe to the ideology but he admired their devotion to Hitler.
Replace Hitler with Jesus and that's basically what they are.
Why would you get banned? The Catholic church does have an abysmal record on LGBT rights. I'm not stanning for the Catholic church either, they are a corrupt, rotten institution. I think they are one of the worst religious forces out there. They also campaign against the death penalty.
And like I said, they can get fucked for refusing to own the consequences of their homophobia.
Sure, no disagreement there. I mean even if you oppose the death penalty, encouraging homophobic beliefs is going to eventually lead to violence against gay people. In that sense...yeah, this is a consequence of those beliefs.
You were the one who brought up the Catholic Church here, no one else. I am trying to provide perspective in the context of this thread which is about Uganda and the extreme anti-homosexual laws they have been attempting to pass for many years now. The Catholic Church strongly opposes this law, not just because of the death penalty here, but even before when it was life imprisonment. Catholics in Uganda have been told about the danger of the law and encouraged NOT to support it.
I'm not asking anyone to love the Catholic Church here, but if providing factual clarification that you're getting mad at the wrong parties in this context gets one line replies that basically acknowledge that you don't care and just want to rant, I guess there's nothing more to say. I feel it is important to state the truth especially in sensitive matters, that's all. I'm sorry if I've upset you in any way.
What do you not understand about the inadequacy of denouncing something on a technical level?
Do you understand that Trump has caused an increase in hate crimes despite the fact that he doesnt "technically" support them?
It's not a technicality. I don't understand why you keep bringing Trump up because the biggest red flag for Trump is that he refuses to publically denounce any of it or make any strong statement to tell those listening to him to reject such acts. In fact, he repeatedly does the opposite. Members of the Catholic Church leadership in Uganda aware of the situation have been actively campaigning against this bill since 2013. You can hate the Church for many other reasons, but why claim something that isn't true when you say that it is not surprising that this bill exists because Roman Catholics are the majority in Uganda? That isn't why this bill exists. It exists because of a very specific evangelical push that is documented. The facts speak for themselves - we know who pushed for it, who in the government supports it, etc.
they should only kill the source of the gays their replication machine...the hetrosexuals!
so for every hetrosexual that wants to kill a gay they should kill themselves instead
or wall themselves off from the rest of the world whichever is easier
religions is the source of the imprisonment of yore and of the killing of now, le shock

I think we just have different expectations of leadership. The Catholic Church released a vague cautionary statement about building walls leading up to the 2016 election. More than half of Catholics in the US voted republican in 2016.
I'm still going to hold the Catholic Church accountable for that. If you think that's not reasonable I cant help you.
What I think doesn't really matter much. I just wanted to clarify the details. I know that hurt and anger can't be healed easily. I'm happy that we can at least end the conversation with disagreement but not flinging vulgarities and dismissive lines at each other though. I appreciate that. I respect your points and agree that leadership can and should do more in educating the faithful in how they should morally act if that's what the leadership believes.
Fucking disgusting. Thankfully there's a backlash to it even in Uganda. Hopefully the bill gets shut down or repealed like the previous bill.
So this makes it ok for Uganda to make being gay punishable by death? How do you see that Uganda is going to enact such a horrible thing and your first instinct is to defend them.

Is that what's really going on in that post? Interesting projection, lol.
What? How the fuck would you get that from that?
you do understand that the world is not just a series of binary conditions and that's you can have multiple bad things be true simulaneously right?
please show me anywhere in my entire life where I suggest that I am defending adult politicians in Uganda trying to Murder humans.

This thread is about Uganda announcing a bill to make homosexuality punishable by death. Instead of denouncing the bill, you make a post saying how Africa isn't responsible for their actions due to European and North America intervention. Which is complete bullshit.
What was the meaning of your original post other than trying to defend Uganda? And why post it in this thread? You didn't even bother to condemn the shitty bill sentencing homosexuals to death, you just jumped straight into defending Africa.
It is baffling how people can adopt attitudes that are so incompatible with the shit they supposedly believe so vehemently. It's almost as if religion itself is a tool for political and moral manipulation. Who would've guessed.
I'm sorry that your reaction is so outlandishly shallow that you'd double down on your hot take with zero context.
i think its odd to use "Africa" as a single monolith as if all people (North Africans, Sub-Saharan Africans) are all the same and have the same culture.
It makes some political sense, but its weird to say they would all be Wakandas, what does that even mean?
Great post Stinkles, sadly this didn't just end in Africa but many other places on earth.
The Catholic Church and Catholicism will be getting some fine advice from Steve Bannon:
You can probably expect more not less of this shit in the future.
No one expects the
