Arthur Wagner, 48, until recently a leading party member in the state of Brandenburg, told the Bild newspaper on Wednesday that his decision was in part sparked by the church’s acceptance of same-sex marriage and the presence of priests at gay pride marches. “One of the reasons (for the conversion) is tied to changes that have taken place in the church, which no longer reflects my values,” he told the daily.

Explaining his decision, he singled out the church’s position “with regard to the AfD, its support for marriage for all and the participation of pastors at Christopher Street Day, where there are children. It’s unacceptable!”

Christopher Street Day is an annual gathering of the LGBT community in several German and Swiss cities.

Given the state of the church in Germany (Catholic and Protestant), his decision is not all that surprising. Most people just opt out.

Not sure if protest conversions are acceptable in Islam.

This guy might still be an infidel.

Off with his head...just to be safe.

Denying the Savior doesn’t fix immoral churches.

The clown at the center of this story apparently knows very little about Islam. Fools and their heads, in Islam, will soon be parted.

I think you are confused about institutionalized pederasty.
Afghanistan is where it is accepted openly in their culture.

There was an alternative. Unfortunately, most people have never heard of it.

They will kill gays in the countries they invade. It’s not about morals, it is about domination over others. I wouldn’t be surprised if even in the hard line Islamic countries if bisexuals and people who at least are the dominant uber-rich masculine component of the relationship ship get away with homosexual activities.

They want to dominate and destroy the culture of the host nation. That is what the real goal is. Gays are acceptable collateral damage in the grand scheme of conquest.
