“Bonkmate.”

I like that. Benny Hinn reduced to a word.

(Assuming that it isn’t French, or something.)

Looks like libel laws haven’t reached Uganda. Benny Hinn could own those rags in the USA for printing that stuff.

I forgot to say-

and when you have successfully created a minority that is thoroughly hated and reviled. The powerful only need to accuse their political rivals of being secret Jews, or have Romani blood, or are homosexuals, and they’re automatically hated too. It’s political terrorism in it’s purest, most vile form.

This isn’t just not liking gay people, this is now getting to the levels of insanity that anti-semitism reached in history. People forget that some minorities were once accused of everything, accusations of Jews paying Lepers to poison wells, Jews and Romanis kidnapping Christian children, Jews killing Christian children, completely insane charges.

All false, all accusations levelled against innocents. Just so one powerful section of society could bolster their power by making the majority rally behind them by demonising a set of people unable to respond because of their lack of political power.

It’s worked all through history, it’s working now, and it always leads to a pogrom if not stopped.

…those who should fear the Anti-Homosexuality Bill the most would be pastors who become prominent enough to become a threat to the prestige or finances of other pastors. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. Clearly this issue is about money and power. Ssempa will clearly do and say anything. He also seems to be blessed with unlimited vanity to match his ignorance. He’s all turned on by the attention he’s been getting here in the States. I reported his blog to google for infringements of their hate speech policy. I wonder if they’ll take action.
