Comments on: Is Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill part of reclaiming the 7 mountains of culture? – Part One https://wthrockmorton.com/2009/12/03/is-ugandas-anti-homosexuality-bill-part-of-reclaiming-the-7-mountains-of-culture-part-one/ A [retired] college psychology professor's observations about public policy, mental health, sexual identity, and religious issues Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:18:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: Tyler https://wthrockmorton.com/2009/12/03/is-ugandas-anti-homosexuality-bill-part-of-reclaiming-the-7-mountains-of-culture-part-one/#comment-35796 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:18:39 +0000 https://www.wthrockmorton.com/?p=5476#comment-35796 this 7 mountains strategy sounds remarkably like the strategy pursued by the Fellowship or the Family as reported by Jeff Sharlett. Is there a connection, or is this a common belief/strategy among evangelicals?

You are posting on a religious person’s site who is vocally opposing for primarily religious reaons the bill you are posting about.

You are against religion because it makes people hate but you hate. You must be of some religion then.

Sorry to break it to you.

Religion is sick and twisted, and the situation in Uganda is just one more example.

Concerned about child molestation. How about we make the catholic church illegal?

Concerned about violence? How about Northern Ireland or Serbia? Countries where violence was the direct result of religious differences.

” It is good to fully understand why Uganda hates homosexuality. Study their cultures before rising up to condemn an innocent nation.”

I know what makes them hate: religion. Religion is the greatest evil to ever be created by mankind.

And, you know what, religious people? I really really hate all of you.

You are really a frustrated American. Please for goodness sake you taught at Groove City college where you would have known the Christian perspective of Homosexuality. Frustrated man why would you want to discredit, Mr Rick Warren, Ssempa and Langa? I used to respect you but ever since then, the respect is long gone. You are an embarassment to Groove City College. I regret having gone under your leadership.

It is good to fully understand why Uganda hates homosexuality. Study their cultures before rising up to condemn an innocent nation. And remember, the best leaders in a community

I understand why they want to keep victims anonymous. And I much agree when a youth is involved. But at the same time they have written the bill such that someone who may be of age and had consentual sex with another person may be considered a victim to be kept anonymous. This bill is thus quite wrong in considering pedophilia and consentual adult sex under the same act.

And speaking of which:

Mr Herman Kalule Kirumira, the area youth councillor appeared in Entebbe court early this week on charges of molesting the pupil but hearing of the case was pushed to May 4, reportedly to allow the presiding magistrate Steven Waidubba attend a workshop. The suspect has been charged with having unlawful carnal knowledge of a minor against the order of nature, an offence for which under the Ugandan law, one could face life imprisonment if convicted by court.

Who said that boy’s weren’t protected under the law? Oh yeah… Langa, Ssempa, and many others. The bill is superfluous, except to call things homosexuality which aren’t, tie it together with homosexuality, and then outlaw any advocacy. The stuff about making counselors, priests, etc. out as criminals is simply to radicialize the population further against homosexuality and help create the pogrom they haven’t yet been able to produce.

At first glance looking at Oyet’s website, one gets the idea that it is mostly one large, slick advertisement. Perhaps that is because it is “Powered by the NetMinistry Website Platform.” Likely once you get into the website, it is about the work and his beliefs, and less about his need for money.

Essentially, the world view stuff meant that Christians should go into all fields and be the best at them for spiritual rewards and witness. This sounds like a Man from U.N.C.L.E. kind of Christianity with a secret handshake and stuff.

I just don’t think it has a biblical basis.

Unless you apply the parable of the talents…and all Christians have specific skills in the 7 mountains…

Interesting that the video emphasizes business as the first mountain…eek.

I liked it better when fundamentalists were concerned with holiness, humility, repentance and service.

I was always troubled by the pressure to view the world as “always decaying…and running from God” and the pressure to drive the world to God.

I think I am on the verge of rethinking many things.
