Desmond Tutu: 'I would not worship a God who is homophobic'

[bemildred]

Desmond Tutu has said he would rather go to hell than worship a homophobic God.

The Nobel peace laureate and anti-apartheid hero was lending his support to a UN-backed campaign for gay rights in his native South Africa.

He said: "I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place.

"I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this.

1. Well, if you are coming from a place where you believe that God created everything, and he created

"humans" in his image, then plainly God didn't have any problem with that particular variation, any more than he had a problem with hair, skin or eye color, height, weight, and other differences that make us all who we are.

I always tell people who believe in God and who object to gays that "God doesn't make mistakes." It kind of sets them back on their heels to be told that they are "disagreeing" with God's plan by objecting to one of his (or her) creations.

People who think they know all the answers, and the answers are "hate," deserve to have their heads messed with...!!!!

2. Desmond is a great man. Most 'Christians' do the opposite, they claim they are

fine with gay people and claim that God is the one that makes them hate. 'I'm a Christian' said Obama 'so I believe in one man, one woman Sanctified. God is in the mix'.
The others blame God for their own bigotry. Desi knows the real deal.
