Uganda debates death penalty for gays

According to Marty, unless you personally take down a dozen or two fundies you AREN'T DOING ENOUGH.

(then he will bitch about the crime rate in America)

'Enraged Texas fan breaks into evangelical church and guns down several UT offensive linemen who were attending services there.'

'Only in America'

Yeah, sure. More likely we'll find you at a church in Tuscaloosa.

I will just cap McElroy when he goes home to Southlake for Christmas.

This has been news for a while now. Kudos to Canada and Harper's conservative government for being so far the only now to actively and loudly oppose this measure (I think they have called for Uganda to be excluded from the Commonwealth or something).

Harper's bizarre.

Harper's bizarre.

At least he's no Fairy.

but he's sticking up for them

I should have spelled it "Ferry" to make it more obvious

I can't even get worked up by this shit anymore. I just want all kinds of "Christianity is nice and fuzzy" people like Valmy to read this. We call on moderate muslims to stand up and oppose atrocities done in the name of Islam by extremists - what have you done to fight Christian fundamentalism, Valmy? If nothing, then you are the enemy.

For all your Catholic hate you don't even realize that US Catholics (here I mean the regular believers, not church officials) are quite liberal on gay issues and many strongly Catholic areas support gay rights. It's the Protestants who are backward conservatives, generally.

Ironically modern Catholicism is by far more liberal than modern Protestantism.

This gets touted around a lot but there is little evidence to support that assertion. In fact, two organizations that have always come up in strong support of all US state amendments banning gay marriage are the catholic church and the mormons.

American Catholics may be liberal, but the Catholic Church: America Chapter isn't.

Interesting.  I didn't know that modern Protestantism here was so monolitically conservative.

I got the reference. Good puns should work at face value as well though.

Also, I couldn't think of a way to work Ron Harper or Harper Collins into a response.

I hate puns anyway

Are you doubting the view on American protestants coming from an orthodox Russian living in Finland?

Just read that someone proposed Canada be booted from the Commonwealth because of their failure to live up to Kyoto treaty obligations.

It's some bunch of "scientists" (read: green leftists with no education in science whatsoever but are still regularly interviewed by left-leaning medias) , quoted by the Guardian.  Search their site, you'll find the article.

Imho, it's payback for our Uganda stance
