Elton John Wants to Ban Religion (Because It Promotes Hatred of Gays)

homo says what??

Yes, Elton, look at the homosexual paradise that has existed under regimes that ban religion - Stalin, Mao, Castro come to mind. Kim Chong Il has a no-religion regime- how well do homosexuals fare in North Korea? How about in Africa where some heads of state have declared homsexuals to be below the level of aninmals?

Frankly, it is Christian tolerance and its infusion into western political thought that has given rise to the rampant elevation of homosexuality in western societies. Perhaps Elton ought to publicly and more honestly declare that Islam, Communism and African despots ought to be banned given their views of homosexuality as evidence of a decayed, immoral western bourgeois.

This is so messed up, on so many levels... he wants to BAN religion, because it promotes hatred. What a hypocrite and hater he is, not to mention, fascist.

He wants religious leaders to all come together, to stop this terrorism and war, when it's our enemies who are the muzzie religious leaders. What an idiot. Yeah, that's it. We should blame Christian religious leaders, because they haven't had a summit with the mullahs. Has his mouth ever met his brain?

And, just as an aside... Elton, you are definitely going to hell, and not just in a musical way.

There's a difference between Christians saying, 'tisk, tisk' vs Muslims actually killing gay people as part of Sharia law. They have debates as to whether stoning or dropping a wall on someone is the preferred way to kill gays.

“Organised religion doesn’t seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it’s not really compassionate.”

Organized religion has missionaries all across the globe, feeding people, etc.

How much of Elton's millions he's earned over his career has been used to help/feed people?

Being able to play a piano, guitar, etc. doesn't make a person smart, and that statement proves it.

I don't like organised religion myself. Got absolutely no time or use for it. It's one of the stupidest things modern man does. If I could snap my fingers and make people quit practicing all forms of religion, I'd seriously have to give it a go to see what would come from it.

I can certainly understand how Sir E feels about it. Have felt that way since I was a wee boy of about 7 years old.

Sir Lightintheloafers just needs to relax. Pelosi and her gang of Commie thugs are already working on it.

[Man50D]

He and the Ditzy Chicks should go on tour togther.

elton wants the bar stools turned upside down so they can quaduple the seatings at all of his appearances.

The EU will no doubt happily oblige Elton John, and turn St. Peter's Basilica into a bathhouse as soon as its army has seized the Vatican.

[Nea Wood]

Typical liberal. Don't just disagree. Don't debate and put forth your own opinions and logical arguments for consideration. No...instead just BAN those who disagree with you.

[G Larry]

No John, homosexual behavior is disgusting to hetrosexuals, irrespective of religion.

Please note the difference between "disgust" and "hate".

[freeangel]

What really turns people into "hateful lemmings" are those who "would be gods" hating the thought that there is an afterlife in which they will be held responsible for those deeds they did on earth and wanting not to suffer in hell alone so they must do their damndest to convince people there is no God but earthly pleasure.

I think you're wrong about that. Religion does NOT promote the hatred of gays or anyone. Religion has been the scapegoat for every group who wants to deviate from traditional values.

Take Elton for example. He's been miserable in his own skin forever. I've never heard of him being harrassed by Christians. I've been a fan since 1972. I was disappointed when he 'came out', but hey, it's his life to do what he wants. Yet for years now, he's been spouting off about this so-called hatred by Christians toward gays. He's the one with the hate for Christians. Turning it around doesn't make it so.
And I think it's very telling when he makes a comment like "If John Lennon were still around..." Elton, if you were a MAN and truly felt as strongly about this as you say you do, why don't YOU get off your butt and do what you think St. Lennon would do?

[B Knotts]

And here we get a brief glimpse into the true beliefs and feelings of liberals.

They intend to persecute Christians...no doubt about that.

"“People come to me and I’m a bit like the Queen Mother. I never get those problems. I don’t know what it is with me, people treat me very reverently."

There's got to be some sort of medical explanation for this pitiful dementia.

[lonestar]

I have never considered giving a flip about anything Elton John thinks!

[Dark Skies]

Reread my post.

I think you missed my point.

[svcw]

As a Christian and regular church goer, I have never hated homosexuals and never once heard hatred preached from the pulpit.
