Bahamas Baptist bishop hits out at homosexuals

Baptist Bishop Simeon Hall on Monday urged homosexuals to seek help to turn away from their “non-productive and deadly practice”, but a popular member of the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender community in The Bahamas denied his claim that many men are absent from families because of their sexual preferences.

Hall released the statement after a Nassau Guardian article revealed that the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in The Bahamas among men who have sex with men (MSM) is near 14 percent, which is nearly double the eight percent documented in 2008 by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).

Director of the National HIV/AIDS Programme Dr Perry Gomez pointed out recently that that percentage increase is a result of better reporting, data collection methods and better access to the MSM community.

    People this is the mark of the beast.If you and your government legalize it the boggering nations will starve you to death.Did any one of you read the British P.M’s statement sometime ago concerning British aid to countries which refuse to legalize buggery? We need to start asking our politicians on the various radio talk shows to openly state their positions on this issue.Please remind them that BUGGERERS need not present themselves for consideration at election time.Ask your various church leaders to do the same thing.Nous pas vle piece minister minister bugger in Dominica.

    here we go again, why is this topic of homosexuality always on DNO someone there obsessed with the topic of gayness man. It is a non factor in my life, so it is not on my mind.

    ADMIN: Our job is to inform the public. If a topic is not of interest to you, ignore it…….it might be of interest to others. We carry stories of politics all the time. Does that mean we are obsessed with politics?

    again like i always do i read all the comments and it is funny the words that are used to describe gays by some comments ( nasty, unclean)….. that is not true at all, let us for a moment cover the sex part of gays you will then notice the tremendous amount of contribution these people make to our society, so if they choose to have sex with someone of the same sex let it be let them deal with their god on their own.remember they are in every family known and unknown so don’t point fingers or people might be laughing at you.

        Is that what you would do if you see gay people kissing? is that message you want to pass on to others… SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. you are carrying hatred in your heart without knowing the reason why. As a mature adult you must analyze and justify your actions.

    You know, if these religious “leaders” would focus on issues that actually MATTER the world would be a much better place.
    For example, address the rampant sexual abuse of children by their colleagues, misuse of funds by their colleagues, etc. Instead of living luxurious lifestyles (fancy homes and even fancier cars) why not “live like jesus did” (like they tell their congregations to do) instead of STEALING from the poor people?
    Why not address the general HYPOCRICY associated with “the church”?

    Stay out of grown people’s business if what they do DOES NOT HARM YOU IN ANY WAY!

    Please answer this: if two men/ two women (both consenting adults) decide to engage in a romantic/sexual relationship, how does it affect you? I’ll be waiting for those responses.
    thanks

      I won’t hold my breath though, because i know they won’t answer the question i asked or they’ll skirt around it or say “its in the bible”.
      **sidenote** The bible also says that disobedient children should be stoned to death (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)

      But seriously, I REALLY want to know how other people’s private lives affects YOU!

        I guess with your warped and confused reasoning you also wouldn’t have a problem if one day persons start fighting for ‘rights’ to have sexual relations with children and animals in private once such persons claim they were born with such feelings and hence their desires ought not to be discriminated against by society.

        The moment society abolishes the principle that marriage and such unions ought to be between two sexually compatible adults (two men or two women are in no way sexually compatible), then perversions will run rampant in society.

        Homosexuality is nothing more than downright nastiness!!

        So Mr. Pre-Med … you really find dipping you willy into another man’s sh** is ROMANTIC??? Forget the Bible for the moment … I guess in your biology class you learn like me that the union of the male and female of any species is geared at the survival of the species by producing offspring. So you want to tell me that you have found a way to impregnate your partner by spewing your seed into his rear end? Even nature teaches us the truth. Chew on that!

    Soon these bloody queers are going to have so much power that all the normal, straight people like you and me are gonna be persecuted (even jailed) just for being normal. What a thing!! This world is really upside down.

      lol wat a load of stupidity. for that to happen they would have to be the majority. we still leave in a widely democratic world. for them to be the majority they would have to have more in numbers. gay people cannot reproduce so explain to me how they would gain the majority. every new generation a few have to be socialized into this lifestyle it’s not something that anyone is born with so it’s impossible that it would ever get to that stage. stop being so overdramatic

        Maybe not so stupid, hot shot … Do you realize the number of kids who are nowadays “questioning their sexuality” because of the crap that these perverts throw at their impressionable minds? Today, gay is fast becoming another fashion … a fad … something like when french kissing and 69-ing were becoming popular. Humans are pushing the frontier further and further to the edge … towards total collapse of our civilization.
