Goodwill to All Men - Except the Gays...

So, the Pope wants to see and to the blurring of the genders - this from a man who wears a dress. He's also declared war on those damned homosexuals. Apparently, creeping homosexuality is as big a threat to the world as global warming. If we all turn gay then the human race will die out. Impeccable logic, I'll grant you. However, this 'pink menace' business is wearing a bit thin isn't it? Isn't Pope Bennie essentially rehashing the same arguments which were being used to oppose the legalisation of homosexual relations between consenting adults in the UK back in the 1960s? The idea that just because it was legal, men would suddenly be turning gay for the hell of it. Even worse, emboldened by their newly conferred legal status, gangs of gay men would roam the streets converting unsuspecting young men to homosexuality.

Bearing in mind that his church must have more ordained child molesters than any other faith, I really don't think that the Holy Father is in any position to be branding other people's behaviour 'perverted'. Clearly, I have completely the wrong idea about Christian values - I thought they included tolerance. It makes me glad to be an atheist. Still, if nothing else, I suppose it's nice to see the head of the world's leading Christian denomination really getting into that spirit of Christmas and goodwill to all men stuff at this time of year. If only more people would do the same thing, we could all have a thoroughly miserable Christmas.
