Christian Right leader: Lesbians in the US are getting Christians in Nigeria killed
According to Jeff Walton with the Institute on Religion & Democracy (IRD), Glasspool's election will make it tough for Christians in certain countries.

"Last week there were over 500 people who were killed in three villages surrounding Jos Nigeria," he shares. "These Christian villagers were killed for their faith. The people who attacked them were yelling 'God is great' in Arabic, and one of the charges against the Christians was that they were immoral."

Walton explains the rationale behind that accusation. "When a Muslim sees the newspaper headline, 'Anglican elects partnered lesbian bishop,' they don't draw a distinction between African Christians and European or American Christians," he says.

1. 100 people were killed
THat's bad enough without the rubbish about 500. Was it the hetero-sexual Christian Fundies who were responsible for the killing of Muslims in said Nigeria a few months ago?


Jeff Walton STFU!!!

2. Nigerians have been at each others' throats for 50 years.

3. Maybe they're killing each other because you're a liar, Jeff
Ever think of that, Mr. Walton? What would make these villagers madder than seeing someone hold himself out as a man of God and lie through his teeth? Lying is against one of the Big Ten, you know. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jesus, and James all had pretty harsh things to say about liars, but nothing to say about lesbians. Could you be wrong, Mr. Walton?
