Saturday 26 May RNW - NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE NETHERLANDS IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
Tri 4 April 2011 - 8:51am / Canada

You people have to be kidding me. According to the strictest lateral interpretation of the Bible, we have to at least go to confessionals once a year, we can't have premarital sex, are not allowed to masturbate, are not allowed to use a condom or contraception, we are told stories of creationism and the first people of the earth are Adam and Eve (yes we're all incestuous brothers after all).

If similar arguments apply, then a female Catholic priest would be denied communion just because the church disagrees and disapproves of such titles being held by women. This is an egregious violation of modern democracy and I believe Jesus personally would be bothered by this as well. After all he created men and women to be equal.

Some people believe being gay is a "choice", I would like to ask then is being Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist, or Hindu a choice as well? How dare you to ask them to change "themselves" when they have as much of a "choice" as you?

Interestingly there are verses in the Bible that encourage violence against non-believers of Christian faith, demand complete submission of women to men and reveal tales of polygamy, encourage slavery, forbid the consumption of shellfish and the wearing of two different fabrics on one person, ban working on Saturdays and Sundays, viciously attack divorce and remarriage, and call for mass murdering of women considered to be witches and holder of dark powers. Hell some fundamentalist priests even condemn the reading of Harry Potter. Yet some disgusting individuals want a scapegoat and pick gay people as the perpetrators of the worst sin. I wonder what should satisfy these hateful individuals: a gay Holocaust?
