Missionaries of Hate

Forewarning: Graphic material covered



Do have a couple of observations:

1) Though the reporter was sympathetic with the "persecuted minority", I found it a very fair and balanced report, elaborating both positions clearly
2) While I don't believe in state-sanctioned gay marriage, I believe some of the preachers profiled have mistaken views of the "alternative" lifestyle:
  • that fecalfilia is exclusive to homosexuals (I've viewed hetero-porn where that fetish was videoed as well as hearing straight people boast about it). "Fisting" to my knowledge, is, for the most part, a homoerotic activity. Farmhands take out baby calves for a hopefully altogether different reason :-)
  • that homosexuality is "promoted" may be somewhat unfair unless I'm missing something. Not exactly sure how someone would go about "recruiting" a prospective homosexual, but perhaps I'm not exactly privy to the 'wiles' of the gay subculture
Given our own Western culture, I wouldn't think that anti-sodomy laws would be a prudent course of action at this time. All the same a healthy skepticism about the secular humanist position that same-sex relations are just as healthy as hetero relations can (and IMHO should) be maintained. It gave me chills when the one legislature claimed he would turn his own daughter in to be executed upon finding out she was a practicing lesbian (perhaps lacking in love), but maybe harder to follow through when the rubber meats the road.

One aspect that may have been overlooked was how Africans deeply value fertility, and are weary of any plausible threat towards it. Misgivings not withstanding, Africans may be right about pro-ported imperialism to a certain extent. UN officials want to spread the artificial contraception agenda throughout the Dark continent even though Africans are some of the most scant CO2 polluters.
