Ugandan Christians and the Homosexuality Bill - Continued II

I've posted this under the first post relating to this to make reading it a little easier for, having read further, I find this quote from Bishop Joseph Abura (Karamoja Diocese) who writes:


"Man now again is running away from life into eternal damnation. This is the case of a fallen race; this is the case of a backslidden world, especially in the northern and western part of the globe.
Due to the discovery of iron, gold, and knowledge in the 13th through to 18th centuries, man took centre stage and sat on the throne of his own life. He became self-centred and not God-centred. He looked to self and conceived of personal traits which now have misled him, have put him to the situation of being inhumane, looking at own self, own feelings, and not the feelings of others.
As a result of sin the vice of homosexuality and lesbianism caught up with them and they practised and popularized it in the name of own rights. They became animated and contracted it from the sower of evil.
Africa, run away from gays, let us save our continent by refuting the vice; practice, and preserve our heritage, that is our traditions and culture believing and trusting in the Almighty God ... Christ is the answer, feelings or sympathies, especially on evil, are not! Ugandan Parliament, the watch dog of our laws, please go ahead and put the anti- Gay laws in place. It is then that we become truly accountable to our young and to this country, not to Canada or England. We are in charge!"
  
Wow - what fun! We have the Americans and perhaps some of those in Europe who, seeking to support their lifestyles, attack the Africans for being naive, backwards and lacking in sophistication and apparently the Africans are 'preserving their heritage' against our fallen contingents of Europe and America!

I continue to read - for we must continue to consider the positions before us and seek that which is of God. Seek the higher things - honour God and cry out as danger approaches - restore those who are fallen into sin, gently - be prepared to give an answer for the hope that we have in Christ Jesus.

I seek no position other than that we sees me being right with God. Obviously some of the claims regarding support of this bill by the Ugandan church has merit!
