This is the most outrageous thing I ever had to read and know about! To think a man of Christ is saying that fundementalists who kill are actually preserving life! I am in total outrage!!

Someone tell Peter Tatchell he doesn’t value self-sacrifice.

It was 9-11 that drove me from religion,and it’s comments like those of the arch-bishop, that make me believe I did the right thing.

This is one of the DUMBEST and most insulting things that I’ve ever read. Would someone please do the Arch-idiot a favor and advise him not to issue any more statements… …EVER?

It’s somewhat less LaBarbera of the Archdiocese of Agana (Guam) and more Westboro Baptist.

On another note, how could one – even other American Christian – convince Ugandan Christians of the error of their ways as concerns the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, when a Roman Catholic Diocese produces such a vile, evil document as this.

And it is evil. The church has for too long defined homosexuality as a psychological problem, as narcissistic and only associated with sexual gratification for the one. They don’t get it, don’t attempt to understand, and they never will choose to do so.

“The culture of homosexuality is a culture of self-absorption because it does not value self sacrifice. It is a glaring example of what John Paul II has called the CULTURE OF DEATH. Islamic fundamentalists clearly understand the damage that homosexual behavior inflicts on a culture. That is why they REPRESS SUCH BEHAVIOR BY DEATH.”

So domestic partnerships between two people who desire to make a commitment to one another is representative of “self absorption” and a “culture of death” while actual “death” (ie execution of innocent people for simply being different) is neither? Wow.

Burr, you beat me to it. I’ve always been baffled by the “providing equal rights to homosexuals just encourages Muslim terrorists” argument because it’s used exclusively by people who hold on to the simplistic notion that there is a “war on terror”. I find this remark particularly enlightening, though:

One, however, does not have to agree with the gruesome ways that the fundamentalists use…to admit that the Islamic fundamentalist charge that Western Civilization in general and the U.S.A. in particular is the “Great Satan” is not without an element of truth.

So the Archdiocese refuses to condone the method even if he agrees with the principles. I still have trouble finding any comfort in that.

Yes, it’s better to blow up women and children in terrorist acts than to do The Gay.

Do you think Jesus throws up a little in his mouth when he hears this kind of crap?

Ah yes, the ol’ “can’t treat gays like human beings because it pisses off the terrorists” argument.

I guess we’ll have our rights after we win the War or Terror?

In that case, shouldn’t we be stripping Jews of all their rights, too?

Oh and making Islam the state religion..

Who knew an Archbishop could be such a surrender monkey?
