Yes!

Marko, the God who gave his son for the World and the a-hole who nuked Sodom and Gomorrah are two very different beings. It is like comparing Hitler with the Dalai Lama.

I am not sure either of them needs our worship to feel complete. Do you need your children to praise you every day to feel 'a father?'

But at least we can agreed on one thing. God has to forgive a lot of sins and forget. He has no choice, unless he wants to end up in Mathare. .

Please allow me to get into the convo Marko and Wakanyungi are having - the one of Tycho and Mukiri is directionless, heading nowhere and frankly a waste of time.

Christianity, the one I know is not a universal soup religion.

It calls people to leave some beleifs, habits, associations, practises.

It calls people to come out of what it describes as confusion.

But nothing stops an individual from holding on to one or two or more things including the ones expressely forbidden.

Or dropping off one or two or more unpalatable issues.

You can pick and choose what you will follow and what you wont and still call yourself a christian.

No one is compelling anyone to worship a 'homophobic' diety, who is also a 'dictator' and a 'mass murderer'. Those who feel so strongly against it can as easily organize themselves and worship whoever they want how they want as easily as they can target the worshipers of the 'tyrant' diety.

All sorts of orientations and alignments can be added and integrated into christianity or subtracted as desired in the name of love, mercy, acceptance - it has been done and will continue being done.

But there will always be a few who wont buy into the additions and subtractions but they will not, nay, cannot stop the adders and subtracters from adding and subtracting.

In the end, there will be a most distinct separation, not universalism, unity, oneness, love, togetherness, acceptance, harmony.

1. those who keep the commandments of God (the law), and the faith of Jesus

2. and those who just dont (maybe they add and subtract as it suits their interpretations, inclinations etc).

You are saying 'Yes' because you want my sympathy to your lashings.

I accept your concession but not your 'Yes'.

This is nothing new... people are free to make their own religion and have their own laws on human conduct, many already have.
Why keep bashing the God of the Bible when you are free to do your what ever seems right in your own eyes.
Are those who are opposed to homosexuality not to be tolerated as well? or how does tolerance work? I tolerate your behavior and you do not tolerate that i think your behavior is perverse?

In other news

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association -The Psychiatric Bible basically- In 1952 Listed Homosexuality as a Mental Disorder specifically a "sociopathic personality disturbance" Homosexuals were officially considered sociopaths.

Until may 1974 when
after a series of studies.... -(Nope)
after a breakthrough in reasearch...... (No)


- Wikipedia

The whole reason the APA removed homosexuality from the DSM as a Mental Disorder was purely on the basis of popular opinion not science.

Here we are in 2013 after decades of ingesting sitcoms, talk shows and movies that give a thumbs up to this behaviour - we can hardly tell our right hand from our left.

None of us has ever witnessed a jogoo chasing down another jogoo.. (If you have kindly share)

Are we to look to the animals for guidance on right conduct ?



The world has long refused to draw clear lines defining right and wrong.. anything goes now. So be it.

Lets tolerate each other and move on.
