MIRIDOM pleased with US gay ruling; says Dominica should follow suit

Supporters celebrate the Supreme Court ruling in the US on Friday
Supporters celebrate the Supreme Court ruling in the US on Friday

Coordinator of Minority Rights Dominica (MIRIDOM), Daryl Phillip, says while the US Supreme court ruling for couples of same sex to get married was expected and he is pleased by the news, he believes Dominica should follow suit.

“Oh yes, oh yes, it just frees up the system,” Phillip told Dominica News Online on Monday in reaction to the ruling.

Last Friday the US Supreme Court ruled that same sex couples can legally get married across the United States, ending what observers say was one of the major civil rights fights of this era which started 46 years ago at a riot at New York’s Stonewall Inn, which ushered in the modern gay rights movement.

Phillip told DNO that the ruling will allow people to freely express themselves in the US.

“It allows people to love each other and to share a life with each other that is in keeping with love for themselves and the society and why should you deprive people of who they want to love?” he stated.

He compared the ruling to the Emancipation of slavery and the end of Aparthied in South Africa.

“So we just have to deal with the situation and the longer that we take to deal with the situation is the more backward we will be … for some things we just have to look forward,” he said.

Phillip believes Dominica should follow suit but is of the view that “education” and “acceptance” will get the ball rolling in the right direction and then a “change of mindset” will come.

Religious circles have opposed and stomped out the idea of same sex marriages saying it is in contravention of the will of God, however, the Coordinator of MIRIDOM opines that it is alright for everyone to have religious beliefs but questioned why should they be imposed on others.

“It is your belief but why do you impose it on others who don’t feel that it is not their belief?” he queried.

Phillip argues that whatever happens behind closed doors does not affect anyone else and “it really have nothing to do with another person.”

But the same sex marriage movement in Dominica faces an uphill battle.

In 2014 Dominica’s Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has made it clear that same sex marriages will not be accepted by his government, pointing out that “certain guiding principles” must be followed in that matter.

“I will make it clear that there is some things that this government will not accept and we will never allow for the state to recognize same sex marriage in our country,” he said. “If other countries want to do it, that’s a matter for them but there are certain guiding principles that we must follow.”

Miridom has been calling on the government to take another look at buggery laws in the Sexual Offense Act of Dominica with a view to having them repealed.

According to the group the Act “discriminates against people because of their sexual preferences.”

Justice Anthony Kennedy of the US Supreme Court, in the majority opinion on the matter, wrote: “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death.”

    There’s no excuse for abomination . To be abominable is not a human right . Any rights must be in par with the righteousness of God , which exalts the nation , abomination brings about plagues , curses and chaos as a result of God’s indignation . Any nation which support these abominable acts falls under curses and judgment .

    This is how you people are ignorant of what is right and wrong as you suit your evil practice.
    Basic common sense is needed. If two people of the same gender have a sexual relationship, should any sensible person not know that it is wrong?
    You have the right, a human right to love each other without any Court ruling. You do not have to ask the Court to rule it.
    Guess who gave you the human right? You should know, He is Our God, and not a supreme court.
    This same God will one day judge you as He will judge those governments who legalize this evil.
    You do not need a Court ruling to love. Your so-called union is intrinsically evil, downright displeasing to God and is a sure broad path to Hell. Furthermore, we know that God condemns evil, worst yet, what you are practicing.
    Carry on as you wish but do so behind closed doors; not in the public arena. Just get lost and stay there. Period!
    Swallow your own deadly mortal and spiritual poison and advice!

    How about this…let’s forget about religion and science…imagine this:
    You are married, you have a son or daughter. After so many yeas of keeping in the dark he or she comes to you, her parents and admit he or she is gay and are involved with one that isn’t accepted by the church. What do you as a parent do? Yes u will try to get ur son or daughter to change because u r afraid of what ppl will say. What if that doesn’t work and ur son or daughter is happy being gay….do you cast them out of your family? Turn your back on them? Tell them to be unhappy? Treat them like dirt call them nasty? Or do you accept them for who they are and stand up to any human being that tell them different…it seems impossible I know people like that…what do you do? Ask ur self thst question

    God is our Supreme Leader and Educator!
    God gave everyone a free mind and will. It is the same free mind and will which will either save us or condemn us. All will be revealed when they die and on the Day of Judgment.
    The government of Dominica should pass a law in the Constitution against this abomination.
    You are imposing your beliefs on others which is unfair to them. Get an island for yourself to practice your abomination and intrinsic evil. We have rights too. You have no right to impose it on us and expect us to accept it.
    What education and acceptance? The education everyone needs is to know the Word of God and as the Church believes and teaches, to accept it as factual, not a fiction and to practice it for their mortal and spiritual benefit. These are all that is needed; not the practice of immorality in the land.
    So we Christians say: “Get behind us, Satan. We belong to God and not to you.”
    Let the Word of God and practice of same prevail!

    There is a disease in Dominica called” JEALOUSY” and they thought they would never be found out. It was closed so nobody knows. Life is what you make it. Missing persons are not gays,Parents leave children looking at videos and go to church, Always involved with the police they are not gays.Happiness is a gift and if they are happy who cares.

      The fact that people also commit these other sins does not justify homosexuality.

      Those of us who oppose homosexuality are not denying that people commit these other sins. These things you have mentioned are also wicked acts and will eventually bring God’s judgment down upon the guilty parties.

      But it is homosexuality we are discussing here. It is same sex ”marriage” the Supreme Court in the USA has just approved. That is the current subject under discussion. The DNO news article is about how this will affect the Caribbean. Nobody is even trying to have any of this other bad behavior you have mentioned made respectable or give it legal status. So why are you mentioning these things as if the fact that they exist should prevent us from addressing the subject of homosexuality which is the main cause for the spread of HIV in the western hemisphere :?:

        Continued…

        Homosexuality is a sin against nature according to Romans 1:26,27.

        It also strikes at God’s model or blueprint for marriage according to Matthew 19:4-6.

        It is also harmful. Homosexuals are prone to have more mental health issues, a higher rate of alcoholism, and a higher suicide rate. Due to lack of a flesh and blood family they have more problems with loneliness in their senior years. They have a shorter life span.

        These are the reasons it is given special attention.

        Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.

      If you know these things are going on why do you not report it to their higher-ups? Everybody answers to somebody! All this is happening and you have not informed those responsible for dealing with it?

      Some of these things are obviously against the law. What about the age of consent? What about people in positions of trust taking advantage of underlings? Have you talked to the police? Have you asked the editor of a leading newspaper to look into It?

      For evil to succeed all it takes is for good people to do nothing. What I gather from most of these DNO comments is that nobody is doing anything except run off at people who are equally powerless to make a difference.

      Assuming that all these accusations are true it does not make homosexual behavior any less sinful. It makes it worse. Let me tell you why. The gays are saying “If these heterosexuals can get away with all their sins why should we not be able to get away with what we do?”

    GOD IS A SUPREME BEING! We can only love God and we care for human. If a man ever utter to a woman and says “i LOVE YOU” and the woman answers yes you must marry her so love is not going to bed. Secondly,when the crowd asked Lord! you have given up your life for us and how do we pay the ransom? The Lord replied and said ” Remember me” .

      All we have to do is read/study Holy Scripture. It is contained in it which is The Word of God. They ignore God and what He has spoken through the prophets and disciples as directives for us to practice, if we expect to please him and eventually obtain eternal salvation.

      Jude 1:5-7 – False Teachers – I wish to remind you, although you know all things, that the Lord who once saved a people from the land of Egypt later destroyed those who did not believe. The angels too, who did not keep to their own domain but deserted their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains, in gloom, for the judgment of the great day. Likewise, Sodom, Gomorrah, and the surrounding towns, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual promiscuity and practiced unnatural vice, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. . .

      This will be their eternal lot. They are fools and taking God for granted if they expect him to be pleased with them.

    People of Dominica I pray that you will adopt the right things from America. The majority of Americans are against this gay life style so don’t be fooled and just jump into this mess by following what we see on TV. DNO has its own agenda by always pushing this mess into our faces,
    There are so many more important news to report on, like the racism in U.S and or sporting issues around the world but DNO choose to always put this in our news. The Dominican society is a very conservative one and do not accept this sort of life style.
    The only reason we are seeing so many of this gay stuff on TV is because most of the managers in the news boardrooms are rich and are in some ways involved in this mess. Money pushing issues.
    I want to tell Dominicans that they should not follow the crowd but instead to think of procreation as the way to go.
    They don’t want to make kids but want to adopt! How hypocritical is that?? This was wrong back in the days and it is wrong now.

      I will inform you, it is News and DNO being a member of the Media cannot ignore it but relay it to others.
      All Media outlets worldwide have broadcasted and printed it which we are fully aware of. We cannot oppose them from doing that, be it for the reason of one way or the other. This is a God-given opportunity to voice our opinion against this evil which has permeated the world.
      You heard of the two US prisoners who were serving a lifetime who escaped from prison with the help of prison employees. One was caught and shot dead; the other was caught and shot. He is in the hospital under heavy guard and is an informant of the goings-on at that prison. We are pleased to read about it and know the results. This, too is News.
      Dominica has a serious matter about this abomination which should also be addressed, allowing us to provide our views. Those of us who oppose it must stand up against it. This is the duty of those who oppose this evil.

    Some people say gay couples is an abomination… adultery is not as bad right? I guess stealing and killing is minor? I guess having multiple sex partner is totally fine???? But even though most people here r guilty of one of these we still say gay couples are devilish …we still say Dominica has no room for sinful gays or lesbians yet we do more harm than them….fact is…any religion or person that wants to control someone’s lifestyle is ignorant….yes if a Catholic Christian Anglican or whatever church you attend can say that gays and lesbians are an abomination then you are ignorant and close minded…..BTW I’m happily married to a woman but I strongly cannot stand religious people using their faith as a weapon ONLY when it suits them…Rev. Donald Hill who r u really to say MIRIDOM is inspired by Satan? How about minding your business or are you afraid to associate with a lesbian?

      July 1, 2015

      If you know what is contained in Holy Scripture, you should know that it is an abomination, an offense against God. There are no if’s and buts against it.
      The Lord has spoken and He will not relent nor rescind His Word. If you practice this and to death be prepared to bear the repercussion and eternal punishment for this evil practice.
      If people feel like committing any type of sin, as also stealing, they do not have to follow their desire. They have the alternative to turn to God and ask Him to help them avoid sin. The same applies for you people, homosexuals and lesbians. If you have common sense you should know it is an evil desire even though you practice it.
      Homosexual and lesbianism are not beneficial to the world; not mortally and spiritually. As a matter of fact the beauty of the world is detracted and decreased by this abomination. If we know it offends God, we should try to avoid it with the help of God.

      Jon , if you consider what is wrong to be good and a what is good to be evil , let me ask you then , what do you think about repealing the bestiality laws ? would you protest for human rights to have sex with beasts ? what about protesting for the human rights to rape , steal , murder , commit abortion , practice sorcery , voo-doo , kidnap etc ?

      Homosexuality is not only a disgrace to society , but more so and even worst it’s ungodly ( sin against the Most High ) . It’s telling him that what he blessed which is the union between a man and a woman is wrong and he made an error at creation , should have created man for man , rather than woman to man .

      Shame on all who supports this rights . Unrighteousness is not a human right , abomination is not a human right and any law repealed to support any of these movements is not supporting human rights but more-so abomination . Any leader ( king , president , prime minister , magistrate , legislatives etc ) supports abomination .

Does animals love,apart from on our screens of our techno devices. Im not advocating violence. All sin is displeasing to God. But homosexuality is the one right now being classed as alright, as normal, as part of life, as something good. We are not under the mosaic law, to kill anyone. But with all the critizc of other sins, why does none of the people who mention them say they are displeasing to god, instead you never say they are good or bad, and side with the homo’. Homophobia, why phobia? Most people are not afraid of it, they are just saying what true.christ died not to make bad men good, he died to make dead men live. Its not by being good, its not by going to church, its not even by knowing about him, accept him in your life, live with him as you live with a roommate, a brother. Know him personally.

    “GOD IS THE ONLY JUDGE! WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME? I AM HAPPILY GAY! DECRIMINALIZE MY HAPPY—@commentator June 30, 2015

    “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one”. 1st. Corinthians 2: 14-15

    What those words above are saying is that, you are the natural man who believes that the Ways of God is foolishness–because God is Spirit, the Attribute of His that you will never understand and to come to Know Him

    On the other hand I am a person of the Spirit, moving forward in the mind renewal process to complete transformation in Life. By faith, trust, humility, and obedience God has given me the right to judge–but no one can judge me; for they would be judging God’s Ways in me.

    But according to J. John Charles, we are not judging–we are passing on the warning.

    “So if he was a man on earth what happened when he got up in the morning with a hard or when he saw mary bathing in the river. The only possible reason that a man has no urges for women is only if he is gay. So the question is could jesus have been gay”—-@Lang Mama or whoever you are

    Once again I am, telling that you have spoken or written “extreme blasphemy” in that statement above. And the only reason you still remain standing on your two feet is because the same Jesus, whom you have blasphemed against, is your protector from the holiness of God Almighty, the Christ who lives in Jesus.

    Otherwise you would have stricken down to your final demise, the moment that thought entered your mind; much more to write it here.

    Jesus in His human form has claimed Himself the Son of Man–His physical Body is the Temple of God Almighty, Eternal Spirit, the Christ of Love. But His Mind condition is of the same Christ who lives in Him

    • June 30, 2015

      @Lang Mama continued

      Hence Jesus, the Son, did not live by the commands of His human senses–as you the natural man with a carnal condition of the mind lives.

      I am saying that you are the one who wakes with wakes up with what you call a “hard-on” and have your lust of the flesh towards a naked woman–that is what you and most other human beings do not understand–the ways of the Spirit is not the ways of the flesh. Jesus would not have suffered that kind of crucifixion on the cross–for your sake and mine–He suffered and gave His Life that we might have it; this Life is all in the Spirit in all its perfection of Love, Truth, and Righteousness.

      Once I am saying that Jesus could not maintain the ways of the Flesh because He lived on Earth in the Life of the Spirit with a Mind condition of Love–the Attribute of God Almighty–Eternal Spirit, the Christ– which makes Him the Great Power of the Spirit, along with His Holiness

    I am not support of this gay marriage being legal, but for Dominica it would not be such a bad thing to let them feel comfortable. Why because many of them are married and jeopardizing women’s life. They are ashamed of their lifefstyle and hiding before our faces. Many of these men in Dominica have Girlfriends and wives, and still have their boyfriends. How do we challenge this and stop them. How can a gay man make his choice of being with a man and not covering up their lifestyle. Lets save our women.

    The rainbow that God Almighty created has 7 main colours – red, yellow, green, blue and violet. ,orange and indigo.

    Hmmmmm……….interesting eh. I wonder why? Covert diabolism at play here – hidden in plain sight?? Now we’ve always heard that Satan has an inclination for the number 6 as he tries his best to match himself with God or come close to him.

    Christians didnt jesus say dont discriminate. According to christianity Jesus was god and he was man on earth. So if he was a man on earth what happened when he got up in the morning with a hard or when he saw mary bathing in the river. The only possible reason that a man has no urges for women is only if he is gay. So the question is could jesus have been gay.

        July 1, 2015

        Know this. If someone is beaten, be it to death, we do have a right to express our opinion against this maltreatment of any member of society, adults or children. However, they who practice this abomination should not try to impress their beliefs and practice on us which we object to.
        The world consists of good and bad people. It also consists of those who are doing their utmost to practice good and to avoid evil, “all occasions of sin.”
        They should know that there are people who object to this. They go after people and force their feelings on them. This is why they get beaten up.
        No government, no court system can prevent that. They are not in the business of warning these people to be careful where they go and who they befriend.
        The government cannot control whom we love and whom we hate. It is a personal feeling.
        They hate those who disagree with their lifestyle. Governments simply pass a law. Do you think they really care what happens to them?

That is pure rubbish and I cannot see why anyone can support that. If you know you’re gay, keep it to yourself, we do not want to know. If do not have any problem with gay people, it is your life do what you want with it, but don’t let others especially the young ones think that your nasty ways it the right way to go. If the gay society was thinking about the human race and where it is going, they would choose otherwise. some people will say they were born that way, my friend I am hear to say not all of them. Some people are in it because of GREED and LAZYNESS. There is some money to be made so they go for it. Shame Shame Shame.

      I agree with you. Let us be aware that God did not create a baby gay; just as a prostitute; a murderer; thief, etc. and those who change their gender by also allow doctors to mutilate their body. All those who encourage it will pay for their actions.
      I do think it is what they chose; the type of lifestyle they chose.
      Just as St. Paul said, “God handed them over to the evil one and their evil ways. . .”
      Recall what Our Lord Jesus Christ said about Judas who betrayed him said: “It was better that this one was not born.”
      We can say the same for homosexuals, lesbians and those who change their gender. Imagine living and being comfortable with this type of lifestyle including changing one’s gender. These people will never be able to function properly. Why do it?
      Now they want to deceive us and state that God created them this way. Rubbish! I would further state, “Give me (us) a break.”

    How is marriage to the same sex an imposition on those who are married to the opposite sex? If marriage is about loving someone and sharing a life together even beyond death, how does that rob society?

    So many people who oppose this ruling are simply afraid that their own lives will be held up to the light, and they will find themselves failing to live out their sacramental purpose as loving married couples. Don’t allow same sex marriage to define your marriage. Live your marriage to the fullest. Be an example of God’s loving saving grace through the way in which you live your life. Stay away from divorce and separation; stay away from adultery; stay away from malice and envy.

    The fact that Eve and Evette will now fight about finances, taking the trash out, household chores, toilet seats, laundry, gardening, in-laws, the holidays, etc., does not detract from your life.

      “If marriage is about loving someone and sharing a life together even beyond death, how does that rob society?” @Jaime Lewis June 30, 2015

      Yes it has robbed society, because society will no longer think of God when in a marriage vow that is the same as that of two men or two women. In other words that Law has “defiled” the Law of God pertaining to marriage. I can only wish that most of those marriages are done in the courts, by a minister of that court–not by priests, pastor, preacher, in the Church

      Two men do not get married in “Love” that can never be–for Love is God; and God is Holy and Perfect. They want to freely express their “fleshly lust” without feeling guilty–with the knowledge that society has accepted them–but one way or the other they will continue as a slave of sin, even if their homosexual conduct is the only sin they are committing; because it is already more than too much.

    • July 1, 2015

      A man and a man or a woman and a woman will not be married regardless of what kind of ceremony is performed, or what the law of the land says.

      A justice of the court or a minister of an apostate church may utter mumbo jumbo and pronounce them
      “spouse and spouse” (or whatever it is they say) but that does not marry them. The government of the nation may recognize it as a marriage and register that same gender “couple” as married but in the sight of God they are not married.

      Marriage is an institution created by God. It was entirely His idea. No human government has the authority to redefine marriage. It is not theirs to redefine. The only true and valid marriage is the union of one man with one woman for as long as they both live. There is only one model for marriage. It is the one given by God. Read Matthew 19:4-6 and Ephesians 5:22-33.

    First of all, am not going to use the bible to condemn gays. Reason bein they may argue that the bible also make mention of no fornication, no adultery etc.

    It is scientifically and biologically wrong to be gay. The anus is not self lubricated when one is aroused, which means that it was not design for sex. The anus is also not part of the sexual organ.

    Our main purpose as creatures is to reproduce, no same sex can reproduce. The virgina was designed so that someting can enter, virgina cannot enter in virgina.

    Now make me mad, they want to be gay but want to adapt children, that is being selfish. U want to live ur life with someone that u cannot reproduce wit, but u want to adapt. Lesbies want to use dildo, how confusing

      Thank you for conceding that the Bible is not a source of anti-gay rhetoric. Other people really struggle with that. I assume that you are a scientist, given you know that it’s “scientifically and biologically wrong to be gay”. Maybe you could therefore explain why homosexuality exists in other species? I would think the fact that people (some straight) enjoy anal sex would mean that it is indeed sexually satisfying. Or maybe we should ban oral sex since, by your logic, the mouth cannot be a sexual organ either. Our main purpose is not to reproduce, and the world is already overpopulated. Repeat after me: V-A-G-I-N-A. Vagina. A-D-O-P-T. Adopt. How is it selfish to provide a family for a child who has none?

      How do you arrive at the conclusion ‘it is scientifically wrong to be gay’ when

      1) 1,500 species besides humans are confirmed to exhibit homosexual behaviour

      2) By your logic, sterile couples, intersex people, and anyone too old to reproduce should not be allowed to marry or even morally exist, since your argument is that reproduction is the aim of existence, and none of them can reproduce

      3) This is a rigid selfish-gene argument that even Richard Dawkins has admitted is not fully applicable to humankind because the whole point of our advanced brains is our ability to hold back our ‘animal’ impulses and live in civilised society as an advanced species

      4) How does your argument reflect on bisexual individuals who are easily able to reproduce? It doesn’t, and your argument falls apart

      5) You’re quite crude if you think the goal of life is reproduction. Surely something else–I don’t know, love?–is the most important thing in any relationship?

    “It allows people to love each other and to share a life with each other that is in keeping with love for themselves and the society and why should you deprive people of who they want to love?” he stated.—-@News Article

    It will continue to express my disgust against statements such as that one above. What this people should realize is that, not only that they are accepting a very sinful behavior to be “normal” among society, but they are also speaking blasphemy against God by using “Love” as a reason for their sinful conduct..

    God is Love in Spirit, Truth, and Holiness –there is only “One Love”–, but many ways to Love; those ways express Peace, Joy, Kindness, Goodness, Humility, Patience, Perseverance, and Self-control.

    None of those Characters or Virtues can demonstrate the thing which is done by homosexuals, for that conduct is for the gratification of the flesh; God is Spirit and “The lust of the flesh is not of the Father” the Christ of Love

    • June 29, 2015

      No one is saying that we should not “love each other”; this is the “Great Commandment” of Jesus Christ–the whole Message of the Bible is grounded on “Love” Love has to be the Life of man, otherwise he still remains a natural man, with a carnal mind condition –the mortal self which will go back to the dust that it was formed from

      “God is Love. And anyone who loves lives in God and God in him” 1st. John 4: 16 God in a person will by no means do that thing that “homosexuals” do, in fact none of the sins of man are directed by Holy Spirit, by whom God connects to us, through conscience.

      And if we disobey, Holy Spirit will convict us of that disobedience, we will be ashamed of our conduct–God will forgive us.

      But the problem with homosexuals, is that they are proud of their conduct, while those in authority are making matters worse; to condone to their behavior and forcing the rest of us to accept it–someone will pay! It has to be!

      A while ago I was talking to a retired Ph.D. scientist (chemistry and physics) who had spent his working lifetime in atomic research. He was a creationist. I asked him about Noah’s flood. He said (his exact words) “The scientific evidence for a world wide flood is tremendous.”

      I have in my library at least 10 books written by Ph.D. scientists who believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Three of them are by a Jewish physicist who receive his doctorate from MIT. He is also known as an “applied theologian”.

        That’s not all Mr. Hill, it is very common these days to find doctors praying prior to performing surgery on their patients, it is common these day to hear a morning prayer in some hospitals here. Even in the Roman Catholic run hospitals, and I tell yo they donot pray to the Virgin Mary, nor repeat the rosary, they indeed pray to the Father through Jesus Christ his son!

        There are doctors who said while witnessing patients die in their presence, they saw something a s hase, came out of the mouth of the dying person and ascended out of sight!

        Maybe it would be better to turn these people over to Satan, as the Bible teaches, and let him destroy them.

        Some people will deny God and the Holy Bible to justify their lifestyle and means. One day they will stand before God and in awe when the truth will be revealed to them and realize their error. Let us hope it will not be too late for forgiveness.
        Believers are correct and always will.

      Gabby, your argument posed in your question isn’t as sound as you think. Can you prove there is no God or can you really prove that the bible is a work of fiction? It is astounding how much archaeological and historical evidence supports the information provided in the bible. While you may criticize this rather complex book for its many turns and apparent contradictions – its not for the faint of heart – its another thing to criticize its accuracy unless you accept the slanted and imbalanced political dogma of some radical positions. Its narrative is too odd and full of peculiar details to be merely fiction haven’t you noticed that? Well try reading it again with an open mind accepting that it just could have some truth to it. Research the interpretations with biblical scholars from both sides of the divide to shed some light you might just come out amazed…

        The onus is on the person making the claim–the God of Christianity exists–rather than the person who doubts the claim, if the claim is not already proved or plausible.

        But my reasons for skepticism are

        1) The Bible’s origin story conflicts with evolutionary theory, which is to say it conflicts with science

        2) There is no definitive evidence that the Christian God exists or even that the biblical Jesus did, though there may well have been people named Yeshua who believed themselves to be prophets

        3) The problem of evil, to me, has never been answered satisfactorily by theological arguments

        4) The Bible claims to be inerrant, yet the Gospels contradict each other multiple times on basic things

        5) The authors of the Gospels are unknown and they wrote about 30 years after what they claim to describe, which would be sketchy in any court of law

        6) The Bible focuses on Earth, ignoring the vast observable universe, making it seem rather manmade

        etc.

        Gabby, in asking you to have an open mind, I wasn’t referring to providing a laundry list of rationalized arguments. Despite the impression the majority of these comments may give, anyone can do that. I was referring to the deeper motivations or circumstances that colour your world view – honesty about your own biases. For example I grew up in a Christian household and my experience was generally favourable enough to leave positive affect for my christian faith despite many doubts. At one time I rejected Christ for some of the reasons you provided before coming to accept the faith on my own terms on discovering deeper underlying reasons for rejecting him. Mine is a more mature reasoned faith than what you may be accustomed – not perfect nor completely unshakable for I’m not perfect but hopefully honest and heart felt and intelligently founded. Whatever your fundamental reasons for rejecting the bible and the faith ,as you seem to do, I’m willing to venture that it is not truly contained in the list you gave.

        But so you don’t think I am unable to respond to your points:
        on the point of none plausibility: over 50% of the world’s population believes in the Abrahamic God thats not considering other religions and those who don’t subscribe to organized religion. True atheist and agnostics are in the very low minority. The “plausibility” is on the side of the God of Christianity. I’ll list the rest by numbers only due to posting limitations, I will also not be using any additional internet research to prove a point.

        1. Evolutionary theory conflicts with science, no irrefutable evidence men descended from apes. That’s what makes it a theory, scientific or otherwise.
        2. Same point as above, no definitive evidence that man descending from apes is the truth. That’s what the whole “missing link” business is about. In fact, most of the original supporting “evidence” was fabricated which is now an easily verifiable fact. Don’t take my word look it up.
        3. You just may be on to something. I was always taught evil is a mystery the most educated theists never seem to claim to understand it completely and boy did I ever try to get it…

        4) You should provide examples, I won’t deny the paradoxes which are a different thing entirely, note that different interpretations are the biggest reason for these discrepancies.
        5) Very few historical records were recorded at the same time as the actual events, so this argument would invalidate much of our cultural and scientific history. Many scientific findings were published years after the initial discovery and at times after the death of the original scientist.

        6) God is lord of all creation not just the earth. Additionally, any relevant document or message is tailored to an audience, the bible contains a redeeming message for mankind. Think of the peer-reviewed articles you yourself referred to elsewhere which are tailored to a specific topic and are often criticized if the scope of the article is too broad, authors are even advised to refine their findings by narrowing the focus of their study or research before being allowed to publish. Still with an emphasis on being well substantiated – yes – but nonetheless written with a specific focus.

        I purposefully did not use any additional internet research in my response to prove a point, all your points could be rebutted relying on logic, but logic has its limitations. It is possible to go on like this forever without making a dent in each others thinking. I could do a much better job if I took the time to do additional research which I will. However, its possible, a more genuine and fruitful approach may be to look at the underlying motivations that cut through the intellectual grandstanding and emotional prejudice. My ,perhaps naive, motivation is to influence you and other readers to open their mind to something potentially wonderful – a wider perspective. Well… apart ,perhaps, from coming across as capable enough to do so…but I take solace in not being the sole guilty party in that regard.

      @Gabby June 29, 2015

      It is true that the language of the Bible (the English Versions for sure) has been tampered by those who rewrite it–not by the guidance of Holy Spirit, but by their own human wisdom, hence the reason for the errors.

      But God continues to amend those errors of human wisdom in His Word–the Message of Life–that is the reason we need the guidance and teachings of Holy Spirit–yes Him and Him alone.

      I am a Pentecostal in Spirit and Truth–not in flesh and bones–born again since 17 years ago. I know that through God’s Prophet, Jeremiah, God promised to teach us to know Him–no man can do that. That promise began of the Day of Pentecost–10 days after Jesus ascension into heaven.

      When I read something that is not the language of Holy Spirit I will know it immediately–but for most of the time the Message in the Bible is only confirmation of what Holy Spirit has already taught–therefore I have the proof which you are asking for.

      • June 30, 2015

        (5) “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit”

        (6) “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be Spiritually minded is Life and Peace.

        (7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the Law of God, nor indeed can it be.

        (8) So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God
        Paul speaks @Romans chapter 8

        (13) These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with Spiritual.

        (14) But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
        Paul speaks @ 1st. Corinthians chapter 2

        And so, can anyone who reads those scriptures above deny that they exist in flesh and bones, or they do not have a mind–no matter what its condition?

      Your problem is you have too many adverse books, written by anti-Christs. They are enough to confuse you.
      Some people want the easy way out so that they can live in whatever manner they wish. This is why they deny the existence of God with Satan at their side. They do not want to obey God’s Commandments and the religious teaching of the Church and to pay God homage.
      We are warned about such books, movies and associates. These are they who cause others to lose faith in God and to deny Him and the Bible.

    I applaud MIRIDOM’s braveness. But it’s not plausible for Dominica to have same-sex marriage right now; first, we need basic legal rights and protections for LGBTQIA individuals. And to get those, we first need to change Dominica itself, for this island is full of hatred, religious fanaticism, and general ignorance, as evinced by the comments below. One poster, Channel 1, is so idiotic as to advise not educating students about homosexuality–a tactic that is literally advocating for ignorance and that comes from fear. This same poster goes so far as to ask for the lone group fighting for LGBT dignity to be persecuted. The way religion warps people’s brains into cruelty and stupidity is truly amazing, but such is most of Dominica.

    Continue fighting, MIRIDOM. Those of us who have an education–and a heart–support you.

      Yes some of us (very few) support the efforts of this organization. But if the comments on here represent the general Dominican populus (which I think it does)-:comments where people are advocating for the use of violence against members of the LGBT community and suggesting that they be taken in to police custody for voicing their opinions, it makes me wonder will there ever be a time when they will be accepted by society. While I agree that the same sex marriage is not pragmatic at this time in Dominica, I think the most pressing issue at this point is acceptance. However, every time I read comments on here I get more and more disillusioned about the attitudes of the people in Dominica. Attitudes that are largely influences by religion and belief in a GOD (a GOD for which there is no evidence for). Normally, I would advocate education but these people are so stringent in religious their beliefs, I fear that no amount of education or evidence can influence their Point of view.

    I think drug dealers in the US should push for their rights as well, I think it is discrimination to tell them they can’t use drugs. Everyone’s rights should be respected.

    Does God approve of homosexuality? The Bible clearly condemns homosexual relations, adultery, etc.. as seen in the scripture below. But it has been seen that as time marches on, God’s standards are being thrown out the window to make way for the standards of humans. However, God’s standards will always stand. The Bible at 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10 say clearly that ‘those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice homosexuality, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners will not inherit the Kingdom of God.’

        The Bible instructs us to judge. An individual has every right to judge another person when they are doing wrong especially when such judgement is based on the authority of God’s word, the law of the land and right and wrong.

        As a matter of fact, 1 Corinthians 2:15 says “but he that is spiritual judgeth all things…..”

        People who do not want to believe God exists refuse to acknowledge any proof (or proofs) of His existence so it is useless to argue with them.

        Many people who deny the existence of God are not doing it for intellectual or academic reasons. They are doing it for moral reasons. They do not want to come under the sovereign rule of God the Creator, Lawgiver, and Judge, so it is easier to deny His existence. They refuse to live a clean moral life according to the commandments God has given us in the Bible so to excuse themselves they treat the Bible like fiction, and joke about it.

        Proofs of God’s existence?

        What about creation itself? I challenge you to read the book CREATION by Grant Jeffrey, Ph.D.

    Most of the comments are against gay. But they never write about fonication, adultery, lieing, coveting thy neighbour, murder, stealin and many more. All are clearly written in the bible. But yet most people commit them, are they not sinful acts? When our friends and relative commits an offence we all try our best to proctect them, we go to the courts to supsupport them. People commit all this and sunday morning go to seat in church praising God, and asking for gorgiveness and still continue the same lifestyle. All of this is wrong in the sight of god. All wrong is wrong. If we feel that god don’t like gays well don’t like the wrong lifestyles we live. Straight people commit sin, the gay people commit sin. Which is accepted by god? Or which is right? I wonder if a gay would walk in a church , would he be turned away? Wether gay or not we all will be judged by the father.

        Exactly! That is what I am saying all along! As human beings we all have sinful fleshly hunger–but those desires are the kinds of hunger that most of us are ashamed of, and so were are humbled by our shame.

        But homosexuals are full of pride about conducts, with no reverence to the God, who created them. They claim to be born like that, but that is a lie from the devil, their god of darkness, futility, and death.

        At Matthew 5, Jesus spoke of Eunuchs, He said that some were born that way, some chose to be that way, and other were made so by their fellowmen; even more so, He said that some chose be so, for the sake of the Kingdom of God.

        Jesus was advising His disciples about staying unmarried, if they could do so–which means it would be better for them to choose a celibate Life instead of marriage. Hence the Life of celibacy is higher than marriage– the Life of a Eunuch is not the same with that of homosexual individual–no way!

Decriminalizing homosexuality is probably the best we could hope for in the coming years. I hope that more open-minded people let their voices be heard though. The level of homophobia is ridiculous.

    Suggestion – be consistent, adultery is one “abomination” among many, for example:
    Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.
    Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoso marries her which is put away doth commit adultery.
    Mark 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, commits adultery against her.
    Mark 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery.
    Luke 16:18 Whosoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whosoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
    I’m serious. Why silence about the abomination of adultery or any of the others? Why so much hostility about just this…

      @Daniel – Please take some time to understand the critical points of the discussion which is ongoing. Most wrongdoers don’t push for society to legalize their wrongdoing. As I told Da girl earlier, adulterers don’t push for the legalization of adultery.

      However these homosexuals and their like-minded deviant supporters want society to legalize the perversion of homosexuality.

        Where is not too smart residing? Not too smart is not smart at all and extremely wrong. Those who commit adultery did not go before the court to have it legalized.
        It is those who are homosexuals and lesbians who caused the government and went before the court to have their abomination recognized and legalized.
        This person does not know the difference and is stating what is untrue.
        It is not written in the Court of Law records that adultery is legal. Today, it is merely accepted.
        There are some big and reputable US corporations and other ones of the world, based on their jobs that may not employ them based on their lifestyle. If found out, they could be fired. They prefer that these employees have an excellent social reputation. This is, not to let the public know they practice it otherwise customers will lose confidence in their business, resulting in loss of business.

No-one can justify the accuracy of homosexuality . It’s like trying to fit the missing puzzle with the wrong piece . Men sorry , it wrong , wrong , wrong . All ways you look at it , there’ll be a tail hanging . Women it’s inconclusive and without satisfaction .

        June 30, 2015

        @fuente – What do you mean when you say a child cannot make a decision? Children/teens make decisions everyday. Unfortunately, some make their own personal decision to experiment with sex.

        Folks may claim the law says a child cannot consent. But aye, didn’t the law once upon a time say homosexuality was illegal. However through diabolically inspired psychological propaganda, public misinformation campaigns, use of economic threats etc, the homosexual agenda has pushed certain countries to change their laws.

        So what does this suggest about the law? Apparently a law is only a law until it is changed to something else.

        Who knows, we may hear one day that the law now says that a child can give consent. The age of consent varies significantly across the world. In Europe for eg, the age of consent varies between 13 – 18. The pedophiles as part of their plan may well push for a lowering of the age of consent in countries across the world.

        Same-sex legalization is opening a can…

      June 30, 2015

      Oh here we go .. the old red herring of linking homosexuality to pedophilia. If you think you are going to scare people out of thier human rights you have another think coming. All legitimate sex must be consensual. That is perfectly understood by all. We have detemined an age of consent and that is the end of the story. To conflate that with same sex attraction is a typically depicable attempt to tarnish gay peoples struggle for equal rights with us heterosexuals … and as can be seen in recent history acreoss the planet, it thankfully does not work.

      • July 3, 2015

        To disobey the Creator is not “human right”.

        It must be an embarrassment to see homosexuality linked to pedophilia.

        In 1948 the famous sex researcher Alfred Kinsey found in his surveys that “37% of gay men admitted to having sex with children.”

        In 1992 the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy stated that “homosexual men are three times more likely to engage in sex with children.” Several different studies have given us the same conclusion.

        Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons, a US psychiatrist, has gone on record as saying “Every priest whom I have treated who was involved with children had previously been involved in adult homosexual relationships.”

        One argument that is difficult to shoot down is this. Even though most R.C. priests are heterosexuals it is the smaller percentage of homosexuals priests who have created the most Catholic sex scandals worldwide by abusing little boys and young men costing the church multiplied millions of dollars.

    I too am pleased with this ruling. As I have mentioned before, religion and belief in God cannot be used as a reason to deny rights to others. I respect your right to affiliate with whatever religion you please and to believe in whatever God you may wish. However, your beliefs are yours and yours only, and should not be used as a basis for secular legislation. What consenting adults do in their personal lives really has no bearing on my life, so why should I expend all my time and energy judging and castigating others for the life they live. Who am I to judge?

    These people are not asking for any extra rights, the same privileges that you have been afforded – they are seeking the same. People are people, just like straight people like myself can be kind, caring or plain evil, my homosexual counterparts can exhibit all those traits. I am urging you my fellow Dominicans to accept people who they really are- the content of their character. Be kind, be loving- it goes a long way !…

    Can somebody explain to me what is going to happen if Dominica legalizes gay marriages? In my view, gay community has the same rights and privileges as straight people, so its highly regretful that gay way of life still stigmatized and members of gay community marginalized. I also believe that for many gay couple the legalization of gay marriages is the question of property rights.
    Also for so called moralists / religious extremists claiming that a marriage is the union between men and women or god forbids same sex marriages, I shall remark that Dominica is very bad place for such debate as Dominicans themselves are highly promiscuous folk and casual encounters are norm. So what is better a same sex couple living together and being devoted to each other or straight family guy having casual sex with different girls every weekend?

        When Adam fell by disobedience the entire human race yet future fell in Adam. We all suffer the consequences of the fall because we are members of a fallen race. Obviously it does not effect all of us the same way. Each of us has his or her own strange quirks.

        All creation came under the curse. The ground began bringing forth thorns and thistles and became difficult for man to til. Animals were affected. Some became wild and dangerous.

        It should not be surprising if some animals exhibit signs of homosexuality. Various mental illnesses and psychological irregularities are found in animals.

        Let it be noted that some animals have been known to eat their young. This is not natural. It does not mean it is normal or O.K. for humans.

        Now lets assume that you are correct about the 1500 species, is that a natural tendency of the species or just an unusual occurrence which may occur for various reasons. The point is normalizing unnatural behaviors. There are exceptions to every rule and that’s not what’s in question.

      • June 30, 2015

        So any kind of sexual desire towards another person or creature is love?

        Are those who engage in polygamy, pedophilia, incest, necrophilia, or bestiality expressing love? If I say “no” does it mean I am a hater?

        Because human sexuality is such a vital part of our nature and is so integrated with all that we are God has put a hedge around it. Because it is so important God has given us laws to govern
        sexuality. There are God given boundaries to regulate sexual behavior.

        God’s moral code for human sexuality is contained in the New Testament.

        Romans 1:26,27, 1 Corinthians 6:9,10, 1 Timothy 1:9,10, Jude vs. 7.

        By comparison those who follow God’s moral code have the best lives with less broken families, less sexually transmitted diseases including AIDS, less mental health issues, less alcoholism, and less suicides. Certainly they do not suffer the loneliness in their senior years experienced by so many in the gay community.

Even if the answer was no, it would have no bearing on marriage equality for humans, but as it is, the answer is yes, which therefore disproves the assertion that humans ‘alone’ exhibit homosexuality.

    You are so disillusioned by this perverseness that you are comparing this ruling to the Emancipation of slavery and the end of Apartheid in South Africa.

    If America decides to give gays the right to marry then this is not a reason for other countries to follow. Most importantly we need to separate church/religion and state. This was only a legal issue in protecting the rights of their loved ones in areas such as benefits.

    There is a lot to come out of this ruling. For example can a woman sponsor her wife to immigrate to the US? Are churches required to do the ceremony when this is clearly a legal decision and not a religious one? I am waiting on these critical matters so that you all will see that this should not be adopted because the USA says so.

      He will surely punish those who deny him and refuse to pray The Our Father, teach the children abomination and legislate this abomination. What will their end be like and for all eternity?

    I can’t understand how Christians are so emotional on gays when God himself is not. Notice God took his time to write 10 commandments and never mentioned homosexuality in anyone. He did mention adultery but there is not the same fire in Christians bellies against adultery. He did mention stealing but there is no fire for stealing.. and I could go on and on. In fact Jesus said the only rule that you need to follow is love the Lord your God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. Yet Christians continue to spew hate at gays. Hatred will always be defeated. This is the undeniable consequence of human freedom. If I am not gay, why should it matter to me? If you as a Christian believe in the judgment, then God will judge them not you.

        “It is for this reason a man shall live is father and mother and clinch to his wife and the two shall become one” @fantastic4 June 29, 2015

        I am not contending against you; your quote is of God’s Word at Genesis 2: 24. However, we need the conviction of Holy Spirit, before we can truly understand God’s Words; because at Ephesians 5: 31, 32 Paul says:

        “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother—verse 31.” but at verse 32, he said: “this is a great mystery”, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

        The mystery that Paul referred to is of verse 31– of which man has put his own meaning– but it tells me that we still do not know what God meant when He said that; in that any thing which has to do with the flesh: “Is not of the Father it is of the world”–that includes sexual conducts with all of its sinful practice- David said: “In sin did my mother conceive me”–what is he saying here?

      • June 29, 2015

        Paul used that Scripture to explain the unity of the Church–one body in Jesus Christ; He is the Head–as he compared that relationship with that of marriage between the Adams and Eves in this world–not the Adams and Steves

        Let it be known that Adam and Eve defiled God’s plan of reproduction through them–when they sinned with Lucifer–that wicked Angel. We are all using Genesis 2: 24 as conviction of reproduction–but it is not a direct truth, when we examine all the sexual abomination among mankind, and yet God is Holy in Love and Light. Jesus was conceived in the womb of a Virgin, He advised the Life of celibacy to His disciples.

        “And what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?—And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the Living God—-@2nd Corinthians 6: 14-16 I say no more!

    :lol: :lol: :lol: ………..all you madness logic has no limit. So based on the above logic of Phillip, the following will also have to be accepted:

    1. Drug users engaging in drug use behind closed doors.

    2. An adult brother and sister or Uncle and niece or aunty and nephew or cousins deciding to engage in a sexual relationship with each other behind closed doors.

    3. A man/woman and his/her animal doing their ting behind closed doors.

    4. A woman or man choosing to marry multiple partners at the same time and do their ting behind closed doors.

    Feel free to add to the list of things that can be deemed acceptable once they are done “Behind closed doors”. It cannot be that this logic can be deemed to be only acceptable in justifying the perversion of homosexuality and not be used to justify other perverted practices.

      Channel 1:

      Thank you for your DNO Comment.

      You write with a certain logic that the advocates of homosexuality have trouble answering.

      The gay movement do not have the facts on their side so they cannot enter into an objective and reasonable debate. They do the only thing that is left for them to do and that is talk down to their opponents. What is most frustrating is when they talk as if we are uneducated hopelessly behind the times. If they walked into my office and saw what I have hanging on the wall they would be quite embarrassed.

      Actually, what matters – and all that matters – is what God says about the issue. The Hebrew prophet Isaiah wrote 2,700 years ago “To the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:20).

        As I said earlier on, in another post, I am glad that I have never been married, and Jesus took me for His own since moons ago–“it is not I that live but Christ Jesus who lives in me.” My body is His Temple.

    As a follower of Christ and lover of all people regardless of race, gender, political affiliation, sexual orientation, or game console preference, I’m going to be very blunt with my fellow Christians: why are you so pissed about this change in MAN’s law? Absolutely nothing has changed in the Bible. God’s law is exactly the same as it was before yesterday. The good book said that man’s law wouldn’t always line up with God’s law, so why are you upset that the Bible was correct? If you expect the nation’s legal system to teach your children about Christ then you’re sadly mistaken. God never placed that responsibility with the courts; It’s YOUR responsibility to spread the gospel and love of Jesus Christ.

    The law doesn’t force pornography upon your household, but it’s legal. The law doesn’t force twerk videos unto your household, but it’s legal. The law doesn’t force heterosexual sex between two unmarried people into your household, but it’s legal. The law doesn’t force…

The law doesn’t force having children out of wedlock unto your household, but again… it’s perfectly legal. Homosexual marriage, like the above mentioned “sins”, does not impede on the basic rights of anyone else. It’s perfectly fine not to condone it, but to condemn it and attempt to codify your beliefs into laws that disenfranchise those with different belief systems is not ok. Here’s a newsflash: Making it legal for gay people to be married by definition of man’s law doesn’t mean the world is coming to an end. This isn’t anything new, by the way, as 22 other countries already recognize same-sex marriage years before June 26th, 2015.

        While we’re on the subject, let’s talk about state-sponsored sinful lifestyles for a second: every weekend I buy a lotto ticket from the corner store. I’ve been doing this for years. However, my Bible says to stay away from attempts to get rich quick (proverbs 13:11 and 23:5; Ecclesiastes 5:10). I guess that means I should also be condemned to the depths of Hell upon my death.

        Look, there are so many other issues that require our attention as Christians: poverty, racism, genocide, persecution of Christians in the Middle East (while we’re complaining about Christians losing influence in American politics, Middle-Eastern Christians are losing their LIVES), and others that are infinitely more worthy of our outrage than the issue of same-sex marriage in America. Instead of bloviating on social media about how offended you are about homosexuality, why don’t you step out on faith and do some real kingdom work?

        Your argument seems rooted in logic, the type that has allowed sinful standards to take root in our society. The sin of homosexuality is completely different from playing the lotto, consuming alcohol etc. We can continue to speak loudly against, alcohol abuse, gambling and all of the other sinful activities that you have mentioned. However when it comes to homosexuality and same sex marriage it has been introduced as a civil rights matter and once it becomes law it has to be recognized. We therefore cannot continue to condemn these individuals because we would be trampling on their civil rights.

        It was a conference of Adventist church leaders/pastors from around the Caribbean. It was their biggest gathering with Trinidad being their venue; hundreds gathered at the conference.

        The religious gathering had the attention of the entire region, as a new agenda had to be set for the spiritual evaluation for the twenty first century and Opus operandi of the Adventist denomination. The Grenada delegation was well represented at the religious conference, which met last week in Port of Spain. The meeting itself was a success with Adventist heads of churches, their missions and delegations fully briefed on the way forward for evangelism throughout the Caribbean and the administering of Adventist religious principles for the Twenty first century. However; in the midst of all their religious successes; disappointing news from Trinidad came that…

    Rev. Delman Coates > “Why ignore biblical passages that talk about gluttony, eating pork, shellfish, etc.? Seeking to legislate certain passages of the Bible and not others seemed to be a huge contradiction, and this inconsistency felt more like a defense of religious bias, than religious belief. I grew increasingly disturbed that those in the black church so vocal in their opposition to matters of personal morality seemed noticeably silent on matters of public morality; issues like poverty, criminal-justice reform, banking reform and the range of other social justice issues confronting black America.”

        No one is forcing me to maintain a bad eating habit right into the sin of Gluttony, but someone is forcing me to either leave my church, or to partake in the gay marriage rituals which my pastor performs there–that is the problem. At 2nd Corinthians 6: 16-18 As God has said:

        “I will dwell in them
        And walk among them.
        I will be their God,
        And they shall be My people.

        Therefore: “Come out from among them (unrighteous and lawless people)
        And be separate, says the Lord.
        Do not touch what is unclean,
        And I will receive you.”

        As for your slippery-slope argumentation–what nonsense. Marriage involves legal consent; animals can’t consent, so why would anyone seriously expect zoophilia to be legalised? Incest is a little different–it’s possible to consent–but the reason we tend to avoid incestouous activity is because we know, through evolved instinct, that incest is dangerous for passing on our genes. Incest can lead to a higher number of genetic disorders. But incest is not actually inherently wrong, IMO; I just can’t imagine a sensible person legalising it. But incest is not comparable to bestiality or paedophilia; the latter have no consent possible.

        And you know lots of other counties had legal gay marriage long before the U. S., right? Why didn’t the world end back then? Stupes.

      Let me tell you many; of the preachers who supports homosexuality, are not believers in God, they themselves are also practicing homosexuality.

      In the first place plenty of them are playing with God; for the love of money, they entertain their crowed, and then beg for the money, the fact is they do not even understand the word of God. Man will always have a reason to support something, however, if someone believe in a supreme God, then they should believe his words as it is written!

      Therefore when we read of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by God all because of the sin of homosexuality, nothing human say can change that fact. And God said he is the same today, yesterday, and forever, means he changes not, so if he killed thousands of people for that sin more than two thousand years ago, what make you believe he is approved of that filth in 2015?

      It matters who say; the word of God takes precedence over any man alive!

      You could merely live with them but not to legalize them. This would be between God, yourself and them. He will judge you.
      You see, this is where you have a free mind to do whatever you so wish. Just do not expect the Law to legalize it.

      What legal right do men and men and women and women have to get married? This is a farce. God will deal with these people.

    check Romans 1: 22 – 28. There cannot be anything simpler than that. Back to God DOMINICA. B e warned. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? Why wait for the worst to happen?

    Does Miridom only has a coordinator, why the other members wouldn’t come out and speak. Tell us who are the members of the executive, stop hiding and come out so we can know because all groups make themselves known to the public if they want support. As Daryl said we all know that it is happening behind closed doors so why do they want to flaunt it in our faces. There was a pride show in Canada on Sunday gone so have one in Dominica, maybe you can change the name. Wonder how Daryl’s family feel especially his mom who is a poto catholic.

      @Stroller – The investigative journalists and the intelligence apparatus of Dominica’s Criminal Investigative Department should also launch a large scale investigation to find out who exactly is behind this MIRIDOM and who is funding it.

      All attempts to subvert and distort our laws re:marriage and the illegality of homosexuality in Dominica and CARICOM through diabolically-inspired psychological propaganda, educational literature and ludicrous news releases such as this one on DNO by these cloaked agents of the perverted homosexual agenda MUST be brought to a screeching halt at once!!!!

        Why do you take pleasure in espousing nonsense, fear, and ignorance.

      • June 30, 2015

        AMEN :!:

        MIRIDOM is inspired by Satan and energized by demonic forces using human beings who have shut God out of their lives and been given over to reprobate mind.

        Since homosexuality is illegal in Dominica it is shocking that MIRIDOM would be given a voice in your country and equally shocking that Dominican media would give them this kind of coverage.

        MIRIDOM presented itself to the public as an organization devoted to helping minorities and working for equal rights for marginalized groups. It is obvious now that homosexuals are their main concern and the gay agenda is their priority.

        Channel 1, I agree with you that the activities of this organization merit a police investigation. Just the fact that they make the statements they do is enough to cause law enforcement agencies to look closely at their executive members. You are not the only one who would like to know who they are, what is their lifestyle, and what is their background.

        Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill…

    To each his own but me nah borgar and still believe that this is the only sin abominated against in the bible. Having said that, I am in agreement that what happens behind closed doors with CONSENTING ADULTS have nothing to do with the public. If somebody want to Borga or make Zarmy then that is their business as long as they don’t make pass at me 8) 8) .
