on a serious note, god apparently has no say in the matter, because isn&#039;t the bible written by men? i mean, it&#039;s not like it was written by god...</description>

		<description>Brave of you to post this column on News24. I imagine you got a few comments then? 

I wonder whether the urge for so many gay men to be part of the church is similar to some Christians&#039; urge to flagellate themselves. I&#039;ve often thought that if the church were to ask all gay priests, ministers, predikants and dominees to take a step to the left and defrock themselves the institution would struggle to keep going - certainly when I attended church (Anglican) years ago, the only heterosexual working there was the broad-minded and tolerant minister in charge. (All the rest, the organist and most of the male members (yes, I know!) of the choir were singing from a different hymnbook). Of course all the old biddies in the congregation couldn&#039;t get enough of them.

The rules were simple: toe the line, don&#039;t be TOO blatant and don&#039;t go after the choirboys. One minister got &#039;banished to Bokomoland&#039; for his sins and another defrocked for inviting too many choirboys  for rides on his motorbike (lit. not fig.)

Gay DRC ministers take the &#039;kant&#039; out of &#039;predikant&#039;.</description>

		<description>yep, i&#039;m being a little polemical here. And a little literal. 
Love your site, though. Of COURSE it&#039;s real. Surely?</description>

		<description>interestingly enough, my girlfriends father is a dominee in the NG Kerk and has dedicated his life to destigmatising gay men within the church. He is a wonderful man.

As far as intolerance of those not of your own kind the (oh so forgiving) christians have a few very interesting sites which you might like to check out.

My favourite is : http://shelleytherepublican.com/category/atheist-conspiracies

ITS HEAVY chris. So heavy in fact that I am skeptical that it is even real. 

Scroll down for some interesting comments like: 

&quot;If you meet someone who you suspect of being cleverer than you, they may be an Atheist. Exercise caution.&quot;

and 

the roleplay of atheist parents: warning sex drugs and rock and roll are in full swing.  There is also gratuitous homosexual sex and voyeurism... 

so I am not tooooo far off topic</description>
