You really do wallow in your ignorance!!! But then I should not be surprised as you have proved that those without anything to say always attack the man not the ball.

I look forward to a childish response to this to further emphasise the fact.

One of the first countries to allow women to study medicine, and now its church decides to reject fundamentalism in favour of reason and inclusivity . . . a truly Christian church. . .

A very proud day for Scotland, and the Church of Scotland.

"What in effect has happened is that Almighty God, as He reveals Himself to us in the Bible, has been voted out, only to be replaced by false idols. God is not mocked."

'God' is a false idol you moron.

As for the bible – well that's a badly written piece of shit novel that is less believeable or relevant than an Enid Blyton book.

"I remember inviting Rabbi Lionel Blue up to talk to my rather conservative clergy," he says. "He told us the most powerful experience of the sheer gratuitousness of the love of God he'd ever witnessed was in a male sauna in Amsterdam. He watched a young man going down on a raddled old gay man, who just didn't have the ability to pull – and it was an act of pure grace. Now, how can you have that level of promiscuity associated with the grace of God?" The bish leans in with characteristic intensity. "But this was like a biblical insight! It was the kind of thing Jesus would have said!"

Paganism – yes ,Christianity …no.

Will the Church Of Scotland be spicing up their sermons?

‘My Lords, I speak without a prepared speech but with a heavy heart. As a Christian woman, I find this an extraordinarily difficult and distressing debate. It is distressing because we are not really prepared to face the fundamental issue. I have listened to speeches in which noble Lords have said, “We respect gay people, but…”. The issue is not about rights; if it were, we would not be having this debate. It is about whether noble Lords accept gay people as equal human beings. Two hundred years ago, William Wilberforce made a speech in Parliament that freed black people to be equal human beings. I hope that this evening your Lordships will vote for these regulations. I have some quarrel with the way in which the regulations have been brought forward, but I hope that noble Lords will vote to underline that gay people are equal human beings with others. I say this as a Christian woman. I have listened to the most reverend Primate the Archbishop of York, and I listened to the Catholic archbishop on the radio this morning, a very dear and wonderful man……..’

I have no idea whether the Honourable Baroness Howarth of Breckland is a Christian or not; only God can be the judge of that, but it seems to me that the whole of this statement is founded on a lie.
“William Wilberforce made a speech in Parliament that freed black people to be equal human beings.” is deceptively linked with “but I hope that noble Lords will vote to underline that gay people are equal human beings with others.”

Wilberforce did not work to make black people human; it was precisely because they were already fully human, made in the image of God – not determined by evolution to behave mechanistically but free to behave with dignity and responsibility – that he worked to free them from oppression, slavery and bondage. To suggest that the fundamentalist Christian is in some way denying the homosexual the freedom to become fully human is a disgraceful travesty of the beliefs and work of William Wilberforce, made worse because she is attempting to lead Christians astray. Probably I have misunderstood her comment about being burnt at the stake, but Jesus Christ said It would be better for someone to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than for them to cause children to be led astray, as is happening on an industrial scale with sex education programmes being promoted by this present government and which she no doubt would endorse.

Sodomy, buggery, fisting, rimming, water sports, felching, scats, coprophilia, sado- masochism, whipping, giving the gift and bondage are dehumanising homosexuals and lesbians. Such bestial acts reduce them to lumps of meat.. Such acts do indeed lead to slavery, bondage and addictions that sooner or later lead to an early death and a passport to hell.

Would God discriminate
Would Jesus discriminate
Should the Church of Scotland discriminate

The answer is no

Read the Good news . . . it is called the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
