As John Piper rightly argues, the kangaroo court and subsequent murder of Jesus was the greatest act of evil to ever occur on this planet. What the BBC and their pink partners fail to grasp is that, to Christians, it is sheer blasphemy to compare this heinous crime to anything, not least the way gay people are treated in a liberal democracy.
Well we haven't heard the program yet and all that article says is this:
Mr Cohen will say that the words of Jesus on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”, echo his own experience of rejection as a gay man.
So he quite clearly isn't comparing that crime to anything else. The crime isn't even mentioned. He is simply describing his rejection as a gay man as analogous to the rejection echoed in those words. Your problem with that is what exactly? That a gay man said it?
It really does take a complete nutter to suggest what you are doing and it also shows The Christian Institute is just as bad as the tabloid press at misrepresentation and sensationalism.
I know most of you will not agree with me, but after Leveson, Saville and now this, is it finally time to bin the BBC? If not, can it be morally justified for Christian license-payers to refuse to pay up?
If you want to get on an organisations case it should be the The Christian Institute's because that deliberate misrepresentation does your views no favours. It is publishing rubbish like that which brings ridicule on the likes of yourself when you use is as evidence the BBC is being blasphemous just as Dally quoting the Daily Mail as a reference does on him!
