Homosexuals, Uganda, Rick Warren, Rowan Williams and finger pointing

Years ago we’d often hear “a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty”.

Most of us know that is no longer the case for the general citizenry of our world. In fact, it would seem the opposite is true “guilty until proven innocent”.

Of course, this is unless you’re a politician, rich or know the right people; in other words, if you are influential.

I exhibit, for an example, the current issue in Uganda. You know the issue about them passing a law making homosexuality a capital crime punishable by death. It even extends to the bizarre point of jailing citizens for knowing a homosexual without reporting them to officials.

All of a sudden we have media outlets pointing fingers at the influential for remaining silent on the Uganda issue.

Of course this is a religious based issue and much of the finger pointing is aimed that direction. The finger pointing is valid.

When the Rick Warren’s, Rowan William’s and countless other religious figures remain silent on humanity it speaks volumes about religion. Indeed it shows a side of religion which is not compassionate or loving!

For some reason, despite historical record, people seem to think religion is guiltless.

By their silence, the religious are clearly chanting Death to Homosexuals.

Stop and think for a moment about the holocaust. Don’t think for a minute there weren’t people killed for being homosexual, who were not homosexual.

In other words, once you approve of mob rule you open the door. Then a pointing of the finger becomes something much more!
