About the the “Burning of Condoms”.. Initially the government had detected that more than a Million NGABO condoms were deffected(http://abstinenceafrica.com/library/index.php?entryid=1780), and they were supposed to be destroyed to protect our people, The government had to destroy them. Dr. Martin helped us alot, he protected our lives by burning those condoms. I WOULD BE A STATISTIC this day if I WERE TO USE THOSE DEADLY CONDOMS.

I urge you to read more and get to the ground.. there many Ugandans in Uganda, who know this, and its a shame that you biased your article, your fellow writers and journalists have written about the matter since 2005 but u’re still giving fake information.

While there may be a little sunlight between him and the initiators and funders of the Proposition 8 campaign, he signed up by repeating the party line, asserting when it was clearly false that civil recognition of same sex marriages would compel churches to refrain from criticizing homosexuality. This same affiliation led him further into the swamp. Obvious violations of common sense, like the widely noted comparisons to bestiality and sex with children are not ways to reach out to the unconvinced. They are ways to assert affiliation with traditional religionists critiques of homosexual behavior.

One might wonder why, given that his church is not in Utah or Arizona, he would choose this foolishness instead of the ostentatiously principled stance he could have taken: ‘While I think gay men should not marry each other or women who do not know what is up, this campaign is telling you lies. Christians should not enter lies into civil discourse. Our God loses even if we win the day.” The calculation behind the stance would be. ‘If Prop 8 wins I get to look principled, if it loses I get to look prophetic.’ Either outcome would have enhanced his reputation with persons likely to become members of his church or buy his books. He sold that for the ever- popular mess of bean soup that is the approval and affiliation of other powerful men.

While arguably worse, in that it helps people who cannot afford American medical care to get AIDS, the African performance boils down to pretty much the same thing: Leadership affiliation trumping honest and informed witness.

This is all very sad, but it is important to say so crisply, without sending too much spit flying.

He furthermore said Jews would be denied salvation, and takes his inspiration from a lunatic pastor called Wallie Amos Criswell, who fought against the civil rights movement in the 1960’s, preached hatred against Mormons and looked forward to Armageddon.

That Warren’s presence is an insult to LGBTs is, frankly, just the tip of the iceberg. This is an unpatriotic, sectarian, Anti-semitic, opportunistic, power-hungry charlatan, who is now exploiting the Inauguration to boost his ugly religious business interests.

Perhaps… soon, Timothy, you too will drop using the compassion-word; except in an ironic way?

CoNpassion would be more appropriate, given the efforts and the outcomes.

(actually, I kind of like that as a new word for publicly-funded religious evangelism disguised as a secular interest in the welfare of others!)
