Genocide In The Name Of God

The bible is to gays what Mein Kampf is to Jews.

 

"Leviticus 20:13 not only condemns homosexuality as a sin, it demands that homosexuals be put to death. For over l,800 years, that is exactly what the Christian churches did: they organised the mass murder of queers, stoning them to death during antiquity and burning them alive at the stake in the medieval era. Right up until the mid-nineteenth century, church leaders in Britain gave their blessing to the state policy of executing homosexuals. The Bible is to lesbians and gay men what Mein Kampf is to Jews. Its incitement to kill queers has resulted in a church-endorsed homo holocaust lasting 2,000 years".
