"I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East -- you're as good as dead." – Elton John
The above statement from pop star Elton John which appears in this week’s Parade Magazine has many Christians upset including Dr. Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission.....

These homosexual perverts are truly demented...and really stupid.
Who “cares” what an aging singer thinks of Jesus?
Christian theologians should not digify his comments with debate.
If Elton John had said that about Muhammad, he’d be dead by now.
Elton is not going to enjoy death as much as he hates life.
Elton John is a trashy, stupid person.
Even putting aside the offensive part of it, his comments don’t even make any sense.
Queue that horrid picture of the aborted children in the garbage can. Global Progressivism, moral relativists extraordinaire.
Why do we give this weirdo print space?
Elton John is one of the most overrated performers in history. His music and his opinions are irrelevant.
Or a gay man for that matter. At least Queen Elton got this right. But Jesus as a gay man? Ugh......
Each Man sees the Truth through their own Eyes
As the Lens of Awareness is Warped,
so are the Conclusions
The Concept has wide Application
We must establish a well funded program that seeks a CURE for homosexualism.
Elton failed that test many years ago. Unfortunately for me he is high on both the talent and stupid scales. ;-(
That being said there are certain actresses that are "not guilty" ;-)
Dame Elton is a bit late to the party. This ideas so 90’s. That’s what happens when the breasts start sagging - the creative juices stop flowing and you have to plagiarize.
“CORPUS CHRISTI” TO RUN IN FALL; PROTEST MOUNTS
Terrence McNally’s “Corpus Christi,” a play about a Christ-like character who has sex with the apostles, is scheduled to open in New York this fall. It had previously been withdrawn but then it was rescheduled; the producer, the Manhattan Theatre Club, succumbed to pressure from the artistic community and put the play back on the drawing board.
Following the announcement to cancel the play, thirty major playwrights signed a letter demanding that the Manhattan Theatre Club stick to its guns. It was signed by Tony Kushner, Arthur Miller, Christopher Durang, A.R. Gurney, Stephen Sondheim, Wendy Wasserstein and others.
From the beginning, the Catholic League has led the fight against this “gay Jesus” play. Over the summer, the league is building a coalition of Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Muslim groups who object to this blasphemy. The early support from the Orthodox Jewish community has been outstanding.
The media response to the league’s objections has been incredible. Most of the reporting has been fair, but some of the commentaries have been unfair, not to say hypocritical. Leading the way in this regard was a May 28 editorial in the New York Times, entitled “Censoring Terrence McNally.” The Catholic League answered the Times with an op-ed page ad of its own (see p.2).
Neither the playwright nor the producer will release a copy of the script to the Catholic League. But a story in the New York Times says that the script “from the beginning to the end retells the Biblical story of a Jesus-like figure—from his birth in a Texas flea-bag hotel with people having profane, violent sex in the room next door to his crucifixion as ‘king of the queers.’” It adds that the Christ-like character, Joshua, “has a long-running affair with Judas and sexual relations with the other apostles”; the Jesus-figure also has sex on stage, albeit in a nonexplicit way, with an HIV-positive street hustler.
The play ends by saying, “If we have offended, so be it. He belongs to us as well as you.” The league urges its members to write to their congressman and senators demanding an end to support for the National Endowment for the Arts (the Manhattan Theatre Club receives NEA grants). The league will unveil other strategies in due course.
Yeah...me neither. Try standing up for what is right per Biblical teaching and you'll find out how cruel people are.
Sir Elton John has not said anything that The History Channel and the New York Times Book review section hasn’t said. For years they have implied the homosexuality of Jesus Christ. It is sad that some gays cannot wrap their heads around the fact that Jesus Christ was not a gay man.
The Christian group Exodus does a great job in rehabbing these sickos. They truly are lost souls heading toward hell.
elton john is a sexual retarded man, how could anyone expect him to make sense?
Agree - another example of intimidation by the ROP (piss be upon them)
