Homosexuality may be revolting, but life sentence is just too harsh

America has become the embodiment of all that is evil. It so abounds on its land that the authorities are intent on exporting it to Africa, their preferred dumping ground. From DDT, orchestrated civil strife, forced regime changes, substandard merchandise to nuclear waste, Africa is the answer to their experiments and disposal problems.

Today, no less a person than the president of America, wants us to either embrace gayism or kiss their dollars goodbye.

Are we so desperate? Kudos to the presidents of Nigeria, Mali, Zimbabwe and Uganda for upholding the principles of morality and refusing the allure of the dollar.

God created man in his own image and gave us a set of rules to follow. Sodomy and lesbianism are anathema.

Blind acceptance of corrupted Western values has so eroded our version of morality we have been transported back in time to the era of Zinjanthropus.

If the birds of the air and animals of the wild get attracted to the opposite sex, why shouldn’t man? The human body is much more precious, it is God’s temple; why make it cheap by decadently exposing it to abuse and for all and sundry to drool at?

Those who view president Museveni’s action abstractly miss the essence and have accused him of infringement on individual freedoms.

Let us contextualise the issue and in the place of that anonymous half naked woman on the streets, put either your mother, wife, daughter or sister. Will your perception remain the same?

God’s wrath for mankind’s disobedience and insolence is manifest in the biblical accounts of the tower of Babel, Noah and the ark, Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Arab world, steeped in Sharia laws, has higher moral standards than anybody else and America would not dare try their simplistic approach to morality there.

RETROGRESSIVE

President Museveni has signed a retrogressive Bill against gayism into law, arguing that Uganda is sovereign state and the law is meant for Ugandans. The Bill sailed through rubber stamping in Parliament in December 2013.

Should we be condemning our own human kind so harshly by jailing them for life? I thought that’s the preserve of God! We are creating hell on earth before we die to be judged by the Almighty.

Initially gays or people abetting gayism were to be sentenced to death without leaving any room for correction or change of behaviour.

Naive. What will you do if your son tells you: “Mom and Dad, I’m gay.” Kill him?
