Two men publicly caned 77 times for having sex in Indonesia

Haven't comfortable westerners protested for a lot less? I think they don't understand what goes on in third world countries. The government allowed Aceh provide to impose Shariah to end an insurgency:

 

Im pretty sure indonesians are horrified by westerners and their immoral ways also. Like the state sponsored murders of unarmed black males.

 

Zero proof of such as anything that could be considered "state-sponsored". FAR more often than not, it's a criminal thug behaving like a criminal thug and laboring under the delusion that they can ignore cops. Yes, there have been murders by cops. WAY too many murders by cops but it is in no way "systemic or state-sponsored" your rhetoric is hateful and ridiculous. Feel free to torch any city YOU live in but kindly stay away from mine.

 

Shariah law is barbaric but it's what the people want, which makes it a great thing according to populists

At least they're still alive, don't all the Christians stone gays?

(I've always found Christian homophobia to be so ironic, since St. Paul was about the most obvious misogynist gay who ever walked.)

 

There is no evidence whatsoever that Paul was a homosexual.

 

Sure there is .. the man was disgusted by the idea of sex with women.

 

Where do you get that idea? There is nothing in the New Testament about it other than him choosing to remain celibate. Lots of men do that without being homosexual.

 

Just scratched having homo sex in Indonesia off my bucket list. Attacking the Great Wall of China from the Mongolian side is next.

 

There are LOTS of State Sponsored Black Murder on Unarmed Black Men, Women and Children on the Continent of Africa for Indonesians to be Horrified with, along with a lot of Black on Black Murder taking place right here in the Good ol USA.

 

Well Women were Burned Alive after being accused of being Witches by the Puritans in Salem Massachusetts, so being Caned 77 times for having Homosexual Sex in Indonesia probably would seem like a Cake Walk.

 

I didn't say that Paul was gay .. nor does choosing celibacy make one gay.. It is however one indicator - hence our problem with Catholic Priests -- who choose this unnatural orthodoxy - and way of life.

There are other indicators of Paul's distaste for women ...

 

you are obviously racist. everyone knows that the only problems africa has are the result of decades of colonial oppression and that the abominably high black on black crime rate in the united states is a lie made up by white supremacists and jewish bankers.

 

This Has to be a Joke, but Thank you so much for the Good Laugh! Typical Extremist Liberal who finds RACISM in everything they see and read. Racist has become the DEFAULT world Liberals use when they read or hear something they dislike and it's been used at Nauseam to the point it sounds like the Boy who CRIED! Wolf.

 

Sounds ridiculous but, 77 lashes is nothing compared to the treatment of homosexuals on a daily basis in the middle east, Africa & Russia...

List them with verses supporting that position.

What is so unnatural about not wanting to have sex?

 

no accused witches were burned alive in the United States.

 

I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm.

 

I'm not touching that with a 10 foot reproductive organ

 

That's what I was thinking also, but with so many extremist Liberals running around this site, it wouldn't surprise me for one to spout off some nonsense like that.

 

You didn't phrase it right. If you had said that Paul was asexual, then that would make him part of a minority group that progressives have to defend.

 

conservatives often support religious law, even here

"Oklahoma GOP candidate: Stoning gays the 'right' thing to do"

when these people gain power, things get ugly

 

What is so unnatural about the Sun rising in the West and not the East. Did God not intend for Man and Woman to be together ?

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. (1 Tim. 2:11-15)

Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. (1 Cor. 14:34-35)

.. My guess would be that Paul hated himself for his inner feelings - trying to suppress them through celibacy - and then through demonization of women.-

While we may guess about what the cause of these idiotic pronouncements against women - The one thing that is most certain is that there is nothing "Inspiring" about these words. aka "Not Inspired"

So Paul is welcome to his Opinion - but I don't share it and neither does God or Jesus.

 

Really got to pity the Libs here, all they have is whataboutism, playing what Christianity ONCE did against what Islam CONTINUES TO DO. And state sanctioned to boot! So much for their vaunted support of Gay Rights.....oh. I forgot, those two unfortunates can't VOTE here.

 

nope, religious fanatics are always bad when they gain power, be them Christians, Muslim or Jewish - History tells us this

most Christians, Muslim and Jewish believers couldn't care less what anyone else believes, these are the good one, they just believe what they believe and let others have the freedom to believe what they believe

when you believe your God will punish or reward you based on what others believe in your society, that is when the trouble starts

 

That's a bit like arguing that losing a leg in an accident is nothing compared to all the people who lose two legs.
