Check this out yall...
AOL News reports that Pop Star, Sir Elton John, says that "organized religion should be banned because it promotes homophobia and turns some people into hateful lemmings." He thinks all religions should be banned. (homophobia - prejudice against -fear or dislike of- homosexual people and homosexuality)
He said there are some wonderful things about religion, but "Religion has always tried to turn hatred toward gay people...and it is not really compassionate." He admits to admiring the teachings of Jesus Christ, but dislikes religious bodies. He also believes that organized religion doesn't seem to work.....but for whom...for him, for gay people???
I think this is all a bunch of crock, but hey...I'm not gay so I can't really understand his frustrations. But I think that Sir Elton John speaks this nonsense because he is gay and wants religion to accept his lifestyle. But since most religions don't, he wants to ban them altogether. Wow! What a solution! For the record, my faith doesn't teach me to hate gay people...Sir Elton Johns comment is a sterotype. And if you want my opinion, I think all stereotypes should be banned. You can love a gay person, but not necessarily love what they do. Just like you love your bestfriend, but you might not love or agree with what they do sometimes. Know what I'm sayin? Whatever...
Love for everyone...even gay people.

Whoa... this just shows us what the world is coming to. I watched a show last night that had this girl almost get fired bcuz she was speaking to a christian group, who was anti gay rights. CRAaZY! But this is becoming the world we live in. People now equate sexual orientation to nationality, something that couldn't possibly be changed. The sucky thing is tho', is that people in the church are starting to subscribe to this belief as well, and think that if they can't get delivered of being black then they can't get delivered of homosexuality. It's creepy stuff, but it reminds me that I gotta stay on my game, ya feel me?? LOL
I think that Sir Elton Johns comment is ironic he is using the same brand of ignorant narrowminded hate speech that he accuses "religious" people of using. As a gay man you would think he would be more openminded and isn't he the same man who shared a stage w/ eminem supposedly the poster child for homophobic lyrics in hip hop why not ban hip hop as well cuz they don't talk about redemtion just fag this and fag that. Why does he have so much understanding for one organization and not the other????? B/c hip hop isn't the truth the way and the light and he knows that but the teachings of christ are much more powerful. ya dig
well say dat then!!
