2nd issue. I like the way you only used the new testament to explain yourself. Does it not occur to you that Ghana has plenty different faiths and beliefs? Our constitution makes it clear there is freedom to worship who u like and do what u like (within reason of course)

Laws are made to govern societies. If and when societies realise these laws are unnecessary, they change them.

You swerved my resuest that you explain how u plan to SHOW YOUR INTOLERANCE of Gay culture. I am still waiting for it.

As for whether Christianity if western or not, it’s only a side issue. If english is a western language because it was introduced to us by westerners, then commeonsense says Christianity is western too because it was introduced to us by them…but hey, we live in a big world and we share values and cultures all the time.

please if u could just read the entire blog again, u would realize we are speaking about the same thing. i want their rights protected too, i just dun want Ghanaians to start thinking because some countries in the west, whose sense of morality is lower than ours, see nothing wrong with homosexuality, we shouldn’t either… that’s childish

and one other thing i wanted to mention, you make reference to how as “africans”, we seem to be copying westeners… have you heard about boy wives and female husbands??nd did you know it was the westeners who made homosexuality into a law….one more thing,the idea of (a christian) god, that isnt africa ooo….

If U don’t have better arguments you adopt such tactics! Come onn man up and lets trade comments!

Towards the end of your piece you said the following:
‘I believe gay people deserve as many rights and privileges as any other person in this country. This means I am strongly opposed to violence against homosexuals. I don’t mind sitting next to a homosexual in a bus, but I won’t tolerate homosexuality being accepted as a norm in my community, because even a 7 year old can see that there is something wrong with the picture above.’

What do you mean by ‘I WONT TOLERATE H BEING ACCEPTED AS A NORM’ More importantly how do you propose to SHOW this intolerance? I sincerely hope you mean to do this in purely non-violent means.

Next point. I want to know why what two adults do in the comfort of their privacy concerns anyone. I have said before and I repeat WHAT TWO ADULTS DO IN THE COMFORT OF THEIR PRIVACY DOESNT BOTHER ME SO LONG AS IT DOESNT INVOLVE CHILDREN, ANIMALS OR VEGETABLES.

A lot of well meaning Christians mention Sodom and Gomorrah as the big Bible reference. I agree. It is clear that from the Bible story, God destroyed SnH due to H.

Can we look further into that story?

Did God not PROMISE to save SnH if there were a few righteous people there?…

Did God not REMOVE the righteous people BEFORE he destroyed SnH?

Now some interesting observations… Had it been made clear up to that point that God had told the people he disliked H? I am not so sure the Bible records this law being given to God’s people up to that time.

More interesting…DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH LOT AND HIS DAUGHTERS AFTER leaving SnH? Go read. His daughters got him drunk and had sex with their DAD!

Ok, you get my drift by now. Spending time making such hu ha about H is a bloody waste of time when we have more important things to worry about.

It is not my JOB as a Christian to ENFORCE God’s laws. He can do it himself.

I dont fear living with Gays one bit. I have better things to worry over.

Now tell me this….why do some Christians focus so much on H issues. It’s like it’s the biggest sin in the Bible. If there was a thing like Sin ranking that it.

Get over it… some people like to cheat on their spouses, some like being Gay…some like sleeping with animals some like cursing others….God b the Judge.

Now I await your comments.
