Churches official response.

Yeah, woke to the fact that the world had got the official response of the churches to the final solution for homosexuals in Uganda.

They are merciful, the Church leaders. Let it be life imprisonment. Not death. Because after death, no one can reform.
And if you are thinking that I lie to call it a Final Solution Bill, check out this quote.'Seventh Day Adventist’s John Kakembo noted that homosexuality has been in Uganda since the 19960s. He called on Parliament to quickly enact the Bill into law, so as to curb the vice. '


Here is the article from New vision

No death penalty for homosexuals – clergy men

RELIGIOUS leaders have opposed the death penalty as a punishment for people convicted of aggravated homosexuality.

Leaders from the Church of Uganda, Orthodox, Pentecostal, Seventh Day Adventist, and the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council, unanimously supported the Bill, but called for a change in the penalties.

“Can death as a form of punishment help one to reform? Some people are convicted of murder but after they have been killed, it’s proved they were innocent. What would be done in such circumstances? We should emphasise life imprisonment,” said Aron Mwesigye, the secretary for the Church of Uganda.

Early this month, Ndorwa West MP David Bahati tabled the Anti-Homosexuality Bill in Parliament. The Bill provides for the death penalty for people who committee aggravated homosexuality.

According to the Bill, aggravated homosexuality is when homosexual acts are performed with a person below 18 years.

It can also occur when the offender is a person living with HIV or a parent or guardian of the person against whom the offence is committed.

The Bill, which seeks to prohibit and penalise homosexual behaviour and related practices, also calls for the life imprisonment for homosexuals.

Seventh Day Adventist’s John Kakembo noted that homosexuality has been in Uganda since the 19960s. He called on Parliament to quickly enact the Bill into law, so as to curb the vice.

Chwa MP Livingstone Okello Okello expressed fear that the Government might block the Bill.

Ethics and integrity minister James Nsaba Buturo revealed that there was pressure from the international community not to implement the Bill.

Same story in the Monitor, here

So, it is official... The Ugandan churches support. I would be grinning with relief, I mean, I expected them to confuse the issue, but they havent. They just want me out of the community.

They should emphasize life imprisonment. My god!!!!!!

Monitor goes a bit further with an analysis, but then, frustratingly, hides the text for subscription. But, here is the excerpt.

Uganda’s toothless battle on gays
Efforts behind a proposed law against homosexuality run counter to the Uganda Police’s interest in the offence, official records show.
The annual crime reports from 2007 and 2008 are silent on homosexuality, a felony under the Penal Code Act, suggesting the incidents are so rare that the authorities are not concerned enough to tally the complaints.

And, with the fight against homosexuality is coming another fight. Against pornography.

Well, the LRA wants to turn this country into a fundamentalist Christian State. Yes, ruled according to the Ten Commandments. But seems the current govt is making headway on that path!

Here is the fight against the twin evils of Homosexuality and Pornography.

And, I can no longer truly trust UGPulse, not when they can confuse the Australian Senate for the US Senate!!!!!

There seems to be a lot of movement. The international condemnation is undeniable. But, so too is the political, and religious will to go ahead with some sort of final solution for homosexuals in Uganda.

Gosh, reading some of those articles, I feel the hypocrisy. Seems as if Uganda has gotten up and is fighting this Global War on Immorality. All Ugandans united behind the fight, and the world against them.

Arent we the most Moral of all people?
