More Protestants in Uganda than Catholics. Still mad?


That so?

Quote:

The Roman Catholic Church had the largest number of adherents (39.3 percent, down from 41.6 in 2002), followed by the Anglican Church of Uganda (32 percent, down from 35.9 percent). The category of Evangelical/Pentecostal/Born-Again showed the most growth, rising from 4.7% in 2002 to 11.1% in 2018. Adventist and other Protestant churches claimed most of the remaining Christians, although there was also a small Eastern Orthodox community. The next most reported religion of Uganda was Islam, with Muslims representing 13.7 percent of the population, up from 12.1% in 2002.


So you're trying to pin this on Protestants, despite being completely wrong about the Ugandan religious majority, instead of focusing on who we're actually focusing on in this thread.

I hope as a Doctor you're a little more thorough in your research and less biased in your diagnoses.
Roman Catholic = 39.3%
Anglican + Pentecostal = 32 + 11.1 = 43.1 %

43.1 > 39.3, so therefore there are more Protestants than Catholics in Uganda.

Catholic and physician bash denied.


Anglicans and Pentecostal are as far apart as Catholic and Wiccan.


The largest religion in Uganda is Catholic.
It's not a bad thing.

The laws in homosexuality are.
Are you trying to deflect so Catholics don't look bad here?

Well, your brethren are doing a good job on this thread of doing exactly that.

So you will be forced to only have gay sex if it isn't illegal and punished by death?

I mean, I love Lucy Pinder's tits, but it doesn't make me a lesbian.


You sound somewhat lesbish. If I said "I like Henry Cavill's ass but it doesn't make me gay." I would be gay.


Well, we know what you are suppressing now.


And his chest is much better than his ass.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who he starred with on The Tutors, has a much better ass.




Now makes a lot more sense as to why he thinks being gay is contagious.

How does two consenting adults doing something in the privacy of their home "end life as we know it"?


If it's in the privacy of their homes how do we know about it? And the statement was in response to the poster who said "even if it's an existential threat it still shouldn't be curtailed because liberty "


Why does it need to be illegal and punishable by death if you won't know about it and it has zero impact on anyone besides those two individuals?
Doesn't have to be punishable by death. The best laws are the ones that don't need to be enforced. Keeping it illegal keeps it away from public consumption, keeps it out of mainstreet. That's the goal.
i don't often walk down the street and see a dude balls deep in another dude. maybe where you live though.

I'm sure you researched all this before you want Prot bashing. Your crew is in the majority. And it's only your crew on this thread that are supporting this. But again this thread was never about Catholics vs Prots. It was about the totalitarian Ugandan president and his TexAgs fan boys.

Doctor tags on this site are ruining the general perception of physicians.

I would argue the best laws are ones that actually protect people from being harmed. Sounds like you think legislating private lives based on your personal worldview is more important.

The only thing I'm defending is the quoted post above which implied that this whole Ugandan anti-gay law issue was the fault of Catholics somehow. No context to the post other than a perceived blaming of Catholics. The poster made a later reply that he/she was referring to the OP and not Catholics in general. While this clarification was appreciated, I didn't feel compelled to delete or edit my previous response. I fail to see any evidence that there is a religious motivation to this law be it Catholic, Protestant, Muslim or otherwise, but if there were any such evidence that I had missed then I wanted it to be clear that it was happening in the absence of a Catholic majority.

My personal response to you Ol_Ag_02 is that your ability to perceive information without bias from the facts at hand sucks. The Catholic vs Protestant math was easy addition from your own post. I don't know (nor do I care) what your problem with me and/or Catholics and/or physicians is, but if you want to take this off line then post your contact info and I'll get with you ASAP.

I'm convinced of the harm that has befallen the young in our country as a result of a pervasive culture of promiscuity, pornography, disordered sexual behavior, debauchery, sex before marriage, fatherless homes, no fault divorce, etc. Do you agree that we've been harmed by these things? Gay marriage, IVF, surrogacy, and gay adoption are a big part of the problem. If you wanted to root these things out, I'm curious how all of you would approach it if not through some statute that has teeth. I'm not going to defend this law in particular because I don't know the particulars, but philosophically I'm not opposed to making unnatural sex against the law.

Here you have the essence of the difference between right and left.

Right calls out policy that is wrong, not matter what. Cruz calling this out is correct.

Left not only ignores policy that's wrong, but takes it a step further.
1. See NY abortion bill that allows murder of babies born alive
2. See their antics to force children to attend drag shows
3. See their work to try to get as many kids as possible to have sex change operations


This is not right vs left. This is liberal vs illiberal left. The majority of the Republican Party is now merely the liberal left.
Reject liberalism in all its forms. Embrace Christianity. Aggies used to love tradition.

What!!! You think that condemning governments executing its homosexual citizens is supporting the opposition?

What side are you on? If everybody on your side has sinister laughs and sneaks around on their tippy toes while greedily rubbing there hands together pondering world destruction you may be on the wrong side.

I will be completely blunt. I think homosexuality (Dudes anyway) is super gross. I also believe and letting people live their lives the way that they want to and ask they leave me alone.

I am also against any government executing any citizens for moral or political reasons. Any conservative that is pro death penalty is out of their damn mind. The government should never be trusted to the extent it can execute its citizens.

When the hell did the right to have gay sex become a Human Right?
Can you pick a side?

The right to life is a human right. The right to not be murdered for what you believe is a human right. Sounds like Cruz is supporting that.



That's preposterous, some people believe it's okay to rape women and have sex with children.


Even you should be better than equating consensual sexual interactions between same sex adults to rape and pedophilia.

It's a really low bar and you should try harder.


That's not the point, he said "the right not to be murdered for what you believe is a human right".

It's self evident. Gay couples adopting children doesn't happen in the privacy of their bedroom, and it doesn't happen in a vacuum. IVF and surrogacy don't happen in the privacy of people's bedrooms. Those involve children, and they are clearly violative of children's rights. There's a direct line between the redefinition of marriage to include couplings who never intend to remain faithful for life, and same sex couplings, etc. to a perceived right to bring children into existence through unnatural and monstrous technical procedures.

Any law criminalizing homosexuality or imposing the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality" is grotesque & an abomination.

Hmm

Quote:

13 "'If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Old Testament.
Was still a law.

We know you're nothing but a "gotcha" poster, but like all libs, you fail miserably when trying to use the Bible.

Yes, that was the law in ancient Israel. Lots of other laws too like dietary restrictions (which if one looks at them, it was about food safety) which no one enforces, although practicing Jews chose to follow them.

However, Jesus took away the penalty for sin from us, assuming we accept his sacrifice. We still still have to answer for our sins the day we stand before God, but at the same time, God no longer requires we be punished on Earth for every moral failure we have.

There are plenty of things which were crimes, even capital crimes, which are against the law to this day such as murder. But the Bible aside, murder is a universal crime in almost every single society that has existed since time immemorial.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

The laws in homosexuality are.
Are you trying to deflect so Catholics don't look bad here?

Well, your brethren are doing a good job on this thread of doing exactly that.
Could you please elaborate on what you meant by "brethren" in this post (i.e. - do you mean "Catholics" (which I am) or supporters of this Ugandan law (which I am not))

TIA


Catholics
Thank you for your response. Please realize that it is some or even most self-identified Catholics on this thread, but not all.

Have a great day!
