I'm almost glad those crazy anti-gay Ugandans exist. (As long as they fail.)

They completely demolish any argument that Christianity is intrinsically better than other Abrahamic religions. And boy, do the usual suspects gets pissed.

3. They are dark skinned Africans

They can't possibly be real Christians...:sarcasm:

edited to add: I definitely sense an underlying "well they are african savages" so they don't count when I hear x-tians try to excuse the unexcusable from there. Even, occasionally I will get that sense here.

2. Try to find the BBC-Vanguard documentary, "Missionaries of Hate"
Edited on Fri Oct-29-10 10:51 AM by onager
Because it's BBC, they don't kowtow to Rick Fucking Warren, and they show that shyster's complicity in whipping up the Ugandan death legislation. Followed by his subsequent attempts to backtrack and flush all that down the Memory Hole.

Warren was accompanied by an even more hateful Xian dweeb, Scott Lively. But even Lively is now trying to back away from what he helped to create.

In a damned unfunny show, there are some funny bits with a Ugandan minister screeching that gays want to "eat our children's poo-poo." In his church services, he holds up hard-core porn pics as helpful illustrations. (He downloaded all the pics from the internet.)

Oh, and in a cozy display of interfaith co-operation during these times of fear and mistrust between the religions - a local Muslim imam joins right in with the hate-fest.

Despite the heartfelt pleas to Gawd and Allah, the Ugandan gay community continues to exist. Though its members, many of them interviewed in the docu, literally fear for their lives. A local newspaper helpfully prints their pictures, names and addresses.

The documentary ran earlier this year, back around May-June. And was available for a long time free on the BBC website, but no longer, unfortunately. I caught it on the BBC On Demand channel of Time-Warner. I'm sure its hanging around the IntertubeZ somewhere.

4. "Dey eat da poo poo" went hugely viral on YouTube this year
And they wonder why Generation Internet thinks Christianity is clownshoes.

In the clip, the excitable God troll clears the room of children before whipping out the poo poo pics on his laptop. But, only AFTER he's given them a classroom lesson on to-the-elbow anal fisting. With pics.

5. Where's the people who say only Muslims are that batshit?
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 02:35 AM by backscatter712
Real truth: ALL fundies are that batshit. Christian fundies, Mormon fundies, Muslim fundies, Jewish fundies, Hindu fundies.

Let them fly their freak flag openly and they will kill anyone who doesn't pray to their invisible sky-daddy.

9. But why should the gay Ugandans be under that sort of threat?
Edited on Sat Nov-06-10 04:53 AM by LeftishBrit
even if the threat is defeated in the end?

EVEN if the lunatics fail to achieve their most extreme ambition of imposing the death penalty, gays will still be treated as criminals, ostracised at best, imprisoned at worst.

What *is* a good thing is that the world has become more aware of this, and that there is a great deal of opposition to it.

I hope that the religious right - of all religions- everywhere is defeated!
