No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place...I am as passionate about this campaign as I ever was about apartheid. For me, it is at the same level.” 1 God is homophobic?  Really?  God, the infinite power of the universe, is afraid of homosexuals ?  What planet does Desmond live on?  Apparently, the god he disagrees with is a wimpy, bigoted, little thing that is unfair and whiney.  No wonder Desmond, in his profound moral wisdom, doesn't want to hang around with him for eternity.  But, where exactly does Mr. Tutu find this weakened...

When Pope Francis declared last week, “who am I to judge?” in reference to gay people who “seek the Lord,” the media went haywire. Dr. Al Mohler, the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary has a helpful article telling everyone to calm down, as the Pope hardly said anything new. All Christians believe that sinners need to be treated with respect and compassion, as Jesus modeled and commanded. And when a person who is struggling with any sin, and is “seeking the Lord” he should not be judged or condemned, but rather helped and counseled. So, the Pope and I agree on something (I know, it’s a cold day here too). There is another prominent cleric, whom I seldom agree with on the issue of homosexuality, who made a cameo appearance in last week’s prurient media cycle.

As a Black man staring down the barrel of White South Afric...

Desmond Tutu 2007 at the Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag in Cologne 2007 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) By the world's standards, Desmond Tutu , the retired archbishop of South Africa , is an intelligent and influential man. A social rights activist who became known worldwide in the 1980s as a staunch opponent of apartheid, Tutu has been a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize , the Albert Schweitzer Prize for Humanitarianism , the Pacem in Terris Award , the Sydney Peace Prize , the Gandhi Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal for Freedom.1  Yet, in the eyes of the Lord God, Desmond Tutu is a fool ( Rom 1:22 ). He has ignored scripture completely, and affronted the holiness of God and the righteous of Christ. There can be no other conclusion based on his odd comments.
