Sorry, is Uganda not the country that wants to execute homosexuals?

We're not made in the image of God, apparently.

The fact that the planned pogrom didn't even get a passing even mention is pretty damned low.

I think President Museveni has other ideas.

Sad thing is, having grown up in Evangelistan, aka South Carolina, I can explain that one. Homosexuals are people, ergo made in God's image, which is why the sin of homosexuality is so heinous, because it profanes that very creation made in His image.

BTW, I do not subscribe to that, but have heard that argument. Please don't think I agree with anything remotely like that at all.

Oh, I know that's not you. But yes, I guess that would have to be the construction of the argument. It's a shame that love profanes God so.

Y'know, it used to be that politicians at least had the decency to have TWO faces. Even once that silver age passed, they still invested the effort necessary to talk out of both sides of their mouths. But to contradict yourself without even having to take a second breath? Shiat, where are the STANDARDS these days?

The "kill the gays" thing was the work of an asshat legislator. Calling out the president for that is like blaming Obama for the actions of the craziest Republican in Congress.

So who does God lay with? Does he just rape maidens, is God a hermaphrodite?

Every species creates God in their own image.

Why would an uber powerful, indestructible being that lives beyond time choose human form? Or any form at all?

God had wisdom teeth that needed to be removed before they rotted through his head?

Bennie Crabtree		2010-08-27 06:07:21 PM

Well, to be fair, you are only begging the question if you replace his statement with something like, "There should be no intolerance because everyone's image ought to be protected by the language in a 200 year old constitutional document which is only interpreted in scholarly English and with the aid of a burgeoning slow-to-change bureaucratic culture."

Neither President Uganda nor President USA seems all that worse than the other.

/President Canada isn't doing so well either, lately.

Those death panels are creating jobs, not just on the panels, but there will be openings for the greeter position at Walmart.

Not all people forge God in their own image. The Hindu don't, the Egyptians didn't, and the Aztecs sure as hell didn't. It's mostly a Jewish/Christian/Muslim conceit.

God is like Tinker Bell.

If we ever believe in raising taxes, global warming, evolution, or that gay marriage is OK, He might disappear forever!

Hadooken: Shouldn't this guy get a Hero tag?

/Thought it was inspiring

no, he shouldn't. he has been in charge for almost 25 years, deposing Amin, which was generally a good thing. he has even stabilized maybe half the country with better AIDS programs. but the other half of the country has lost millions of lives in tribal wars and a dissenting faction (the LRA) that is uncontrollable and unlikely to get any answers/support anytime soon.

he gets the hero tag when the LRA is stopped.

Former Ugandan strongman Idi Amin also believed that all people were equal, but that was largely on the basis that everyone tasted the same.
