US HATE PASTOR’S LIES BEHIND UGANDAN GAY BILL

The Guardian has highlighted the appalling influence of American evangelists on anti-gay laws in Uganda.
The newspaper’s website has posted an excerpt from Roger Ross Williams’ documentary God Loves Uganda, which depicts one of the worst offenders, Scott Lively in action.
It features undercover video taken by Boston-based Anglican priest, Kapya Kaoma, which shows Lively holding a workshop in Uganda in which he peddled outrageous lies about LGBT people.
According to Kaoma, the pastor told the audience that gay people have taken over the UN and America, that they are recruiting children in Uganda and are out to destroy society.
It was these kinds of workshops, says Kaoma, that fuelled the belief among legislators that the country’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill – signed into law on Monday – was desperately needed.
It’s been previously claimed that thousands of Ugandans, including police officers, teachers and politicians, have attended Lively’s talks during his visits to Uganda.
“American evangelists are all powerful in Uganda and that power is used to persecute those who are trying to question them… religion is being used to demonise and in fact kill”, Kaoma claims in the clip.
He adds that the global war against homosexuality waged by American evangelists has “nothing to do to with the Christian gospel but American culture wars. That is what is driving their activities across the world.”
Lively, who believes that Hitler and other Nazi leaders were gay and their homosexuality led to World War II, is facing charges in the US of “crimes against humanity” because of his role in the formulation of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill.
In September last year, Lively said that he’s proud to have influenced anti-gay movements in both Russia and Uganda.
Lively heads up the Abiding Truth Ministries, a church opposing “the homosexual agenda”. He has travelled around the world promoting his hateful crusade against what he calls the “social cancer” of homosexuality. His crackpot theories are often accepted as legitimate by political and religious leaders.
Lively, however, has dismissed as “a leap” claims that his actions and words have led to violence and the death of gay people in the countries in which he’s peddled his anti-gay views.

This is why I always say that Christianity will eventually become its own “anti-Christ”. Preachers preaching hatred – exactly that which Jesus said people shouldn’t do. They do the complete opposite. And what happens? More and more people (with a mind of intelligence) realise that Christianity cannot be right if it is so full of hate – THEY BECOME ATHEISTS. (Meaning, no longer a Christian, non-believer, ‘god hater’ etc.), thus Anti-Christ… I’m not surprised that so many gay people (and gooood people!) turn to atheism. How can you love a god, who “doesn’t love you”?
This just confirms that Christianity like all religions is a hateful, man-made doctrine that people use to further their own goals. If there was a god, would he have allowed this. If there was a god and he allowed this, is he loving?
Is it possible to charge him with crimes against humanity or genocide at the International Criminal Court? Who does one have to speak to to get the ball rolling? A conviction will get those silly evangelists thinking twice about peddling their vile wares to the deliberately ignorant.
The Christian demagogues must shut up. They have no idea how difficult the life of a gay person is already in a world that is ignorant. They should not do such unspeakable deeds, such as preaching hatred, in the name of Jesus Christ. Every group that seeks to persecute others seems to find their justification in the Bible, and this is the real sin.
This asshole along with other “Evangelists” ARE NOT CHRISTIANS! THEY ARE ALL SATAN WORSHIPPERS!!! DON’T BE FOOLED BY THIER BULLSHIT!! Im a Christian! A REAL ONE! I tell u now God Love us Gays more any other Human beings we are the most powerful human beings in the world! Everything we do turns to gold. We’re the most hard working and driven humans of God’s creation. Its no surpirse why this is happening. Imagine If all LGBTI were acctepted wholeheartedly in matters of faith as intented Human civilization would have progressed to the heavens ages ago. The Devil knows if he makes sure gay people are out of Christianity he can take humanity’s greatest for himself n away from God. To answer people’s question “Why God lets this happen” The answer is simple. FREE WILL. Please remember God gave us free will… but like with almost everything in life it comes at a price he can’t directly interfere… think about it if your parents can live your life for you and protect you from making mistakes I’m sure they would but you wouldn’t be FREE to actually live your life would you. Bottline is this u want God’s help have faith n pray FAITH AND PRAYER ARE THE LOOPHOLE TO FREE WILL. You do it collectively the more effective those prayers will be, that way we will see these false prophet will get thier just desserts a lot quicker! Don’t know the exactly which passage in the Bible but there is a passage regarding what these ppl are doing (false prophacy)… pls keep in mind Im paraphrasing… ” it is better that you throw yourself in hell than to face the wrath in store for false prophecy for leading God’s people astray… for not only are you condemning yourself but others” (how many people will turn thier backs on God because of stuff like this).
