@HP Baxxter. Mhemmx diskriminazzjoni Malta kontra l-gays? Fejn tghix? Hemm gay bars kullimkien f’Malta? Fejn?

Because they want you to think they are straight! It’s just a ploy. Sadly they are fooling no one except themselves. I mean why would a good Catholic heterosexual man discard marriage which they say is a sacrament to spend time with other men? In many of the friaries and convents it is more likely to come up against St Paul smoking a cigar than a heterosexual friar.

Ma nafx, imma qisu Joseph Carmel Chetcuti. Gie lura Malta jghidilna li nghixu f’pajjiz li ma jittollerax il-gays. Fl-2010. Meta ghandek gay bars fejn trid, u meta l-gays tant mhemmx diskriminazzjoni kontrihom li mhemmx ghalfejn jillimitaw ruhhom ghall-gay bars. Il-Father u l-gay, two sides of the same blinkered coin.

Il-frazi “Christian Malta” tghid kollox.

Oh my God, this is really a case of ROTFL, while drinking my capuccino and eating my cornetto at my desk! I sure hope that “Victor” was just being ironic.

[Daphne – You’re joking, right?]

Did you exploit or were you exploited?

(Hope neither.)

And when he said that the Kingdom of Heaven will belong to, among others, eunuchs?

I invite you to hold your horses.

You will recall that in the Gospels, Jesus was not defending prostitution or adultery. He was defending the person not the act! In fact, when the crowd disperses he the adulteress they were going to stone, to sin no more. The adultery itself is plainly condemned; the adulteress is forgiven.

However, your point is very subtle. For this I give you credit. There are minority views in the Christian tradition which hold that Jesus did not admonish “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone” but “He who has never committed THIS sin cast the first stone.” Still, despite the subtlety, it is clear that Jesus was condemning irresponsible sexual attitudes.

Interestingly, even atheists and non-Christians who have sound values take the same position, be it to avoid STDs or to achieve some other worthwhile social end. In other words, reason and faith concur on this point.

Sexual activity should be reined in, harnessed by a sense of responsibility.

You mean ‘pseudo’ presepju!

I was going to say ‘third world’ but that is not politically correct now. Please read ‘developing country’.
