Missionaries of Hate, Pt. 1

I am not gay and I have always questioned the ways of Gay people, but I have never thought to take judgement from God and put it to practice myself. That's like taking Gods job away and using it to benefit your own evil ways, just like narrow minded Uganda Gov't, Uganda minsters, and the American EVILangelicals. I cannot believe The American EVILangelicals are back to stirring up another witch-hunt, what are we back in the 17th or 18th hundreds. I thought we are way pass those days. IDIOTS!!! The Uganda Gov't needs to start thinking for themselves instead of believing these EVIL Preachers that come to their country and make those ridiculous rules. Just like Moliere's Tartuffe, If you invite religion into your home, your inviting EVIL!!!!

How sad it is to know that you guys get rid of this awsome video? Is there a reason why?

When you pain is being gay
And you're hurt, ashamed or confused
And wonder if you should suffer in silence another day.

If often you feel self conscious with others around
And you hate to face the world but can't hibernate
So again you must get out, and face the crowd.

If you wonder if your orientation is perverse
And if you'll burn in hell, for who you are
Though you didn't choose to bring this onto yourself.

When confidences are betrayed
And you don't know if you should trust again
And you wonder if you'd been cursed in your mother's womb.

When such thoughts you can't seem to stop or ignore
And your head feels like at any minute it'll explode
From endless thinking, anxieties fears and doubts.

When you get to that point; and hopefully you'll remember before you get so low
Know that at your most basic foundation you're an eternal being
Made of vibrational energy that can be transformed; but not destroyed.

We're all vibrational eternal energy beings
And every thought, word, movement, action, plant, or thing is
energy vibration too
And its up to us to become who we feel we should be.

Positive empowered thinking will return positive results
And that is the real secret, that the Secret talks about
But you may have to practice for sometime before seeing results.

Customize and visualize your plans constantly in your mind
You have a right to be here just like everyone else
And your orientation is just as right as theirs.

You alone needs to know and honor that, for it to be true
Others don't have exclusive right to decide on your life
But we've all been deluded to some extent, in such beliefs.

So turn your thoughts of doubts, fear and confusion to those of self love
Make up your mind to love yourself first and foremost no matter what
And find ways to love and honor you daily, from now to the end of times.

Take a mirror every time depression, hopelessness, anxiety, fear or shame assail you
Look in your eyes and say to yourself aloud or silent I love you
You're wonderful. You're OK just the way your are, and I love you the most.

Just remember that at your core you're all energy
To be molded, embraced and repeatedly transformed
Until your best masterpiece you've become.

In our ancestors' ignorant-innocence they taught us wrong about God
And they couldn't have done better than the data available then
But you alone can be sufficient to sufficiently love yourself.

So decide right now, to become your own best friend
And sure, it's nice to have the love and support of others
But sometimes those around don't love themselves either, much less to love someone else.

So don't take it as a flaw they see in you
You know who you are on the inside
And you know that it's their loss to refuse to get to know the inner you.

I have now lived to be 55 years young
And only at the beginning of 2010 have I become happy and not sad
From different childhood dramas, making me always wanting to end my life.

I knew well how to resolve everyone's problems
Therefore was the best People Pleaser who loved from Outside In,
instead of Inside Out
My journey of recovery was bumpy and long and it took decades of doubts.

But today I am happy, love life, no longer self-consciously seeking to please and be loved
So its never too late to bring the real you that often cower in fear and shame
Just stop being stuck at what is, and focus daily on who you intend to be.

If you're sure you're gay you're not ungodly, disgusting and perverse
If God made you, then that is how he intended you to be
But whatever, its now up to you to not let others kill your Spirit, before you live.

Good health will also improve your mood
Drink plenty of water, and more real than unprocessed foods
Cut out sugary food as much as possible, be sure to daily eliminate body waste at least daily, and practice taking deep and cleansing breaths.

When you feel depression coming try to think of the opposite of what depresses you
Believe me its those things that brought about my recovery, not drugs
Just learn to think of what you want, not what is happening that you don't prefer.

Love your self daily. Walk with shoulders and head up. Accept who you are
And let what others think about you be their business, no longer yours
Just say I am happy daily, even if you don't feel it. Soon it will be true for you too.

Can't believe how disgusting and cruel some people can be. What is wrong with these people? Especially the man who said he would hang his own daughter for being a lesbian. And he thinks we are the ones that have problems? wow.

Africans have adapted the evils of Christianity that brutalized them to give up their older wiser ways, and have now turned it against themselves. Before Christianity they had more love and tolerance for each other. Now today they are just as intolerant of differences amongst themselves as European Christians were intolerant of their different skin color and ways of life.

Great Job Guys! Thank you for these wonderful set of videos!

As a pirate ninja Christian I support the rights and freedoms of all sexual orientations. Homosexuals want to get married? I don't care and I won't stop them or make it illegal anyway. What you do in your own home and life I don't care as I am a moderate Libertarian or as Judge Mills Lane would say "I'll allow it." If I make a business I will pick health insurance that supports domestic partnerships and when same sex marriage is made law then I'd be the first business to support it.

You never want to discriminate against people, they make have some talent or skill you might need for the business to succeed or help others. In my career I worked with HLGBTT type people and I didn't care. Others picked on them and I said leave them alone we need their help to get our jobs done and I'll work with anyone willing to work with me.

This is chilling and frightening... Most importantly is to get the newly created gay celebrities in Uganda OUT of their homeland. Otherwise they will be murdered/martyred by some religious zealot, inspired by American Christians. Current has unwittingly placed itself in a very 'Jenny Jones' position since the series has made many Ugandan gays well known. That tragedy could have been foreseen and this one can too. Before there is harm to them get them safely to another location. Perhaps even, they should be granted asylem for religious persecution in their home country. I hope Current takes this seriously.

Those most accountable include those American zealots who went to another country and culture and continued age-old missionary work, the spoiling of cultures and peoples. These are crimes against humanity. This reporter has a duty to be ethical and not harm her interviewee/subject via her production.

Love? Hate? Which is right?

wow... made me tear up...

The God of Love? The Merciful God?
So who are these mere human beings to set themselves up to make judgements of "eternal" sin?
Or to claim the power to take decisions to take life that were never theirs to take as if they are the divine higher authority?
Arrogance, not the meekness of the Sermon of the Mount.
Bloody, vengeful, hate-mongers.

The problem is not so much with the Christ, but the people who claim to be his followers.

And time that Africans rejected the imperialist aspirations that drive the foreign missionaries. And bring down to size those of their own with hunger for power, over people's minds, and over their land and wealth and freedom.

Long live freedom, respect, tolerance, love and peace!

Away, away the Satan of hatred, bigotry and mercilessness!

homosexuality is against nature and god? really? so are we made in gods image? or are we animals?

if man is made in gods image, then the image of god MUST include homosexuality.

it IS known that other animals participate in homosexual play... so if man is an animal what's the problem?

also if it's really against GOD (all mighty, all powerful, GOD) why do YOU (pittiful little you) need to defend and stand up for a vastly supirior being that has the ability to enforce what he/she sees as just and right?

“what do homosexuals do?”... unless you yourself are a homosexual, I don't think you have any idea what they do… but then again if you yourself are gay, then perhaps your own desires fantasies and urges might give you a hint at what OTHER homosexuals do... this goes to the whole argument that, As Shakespeare put it in King Lear, “the policeman who lashes the whore has a hot need to use her for the very offense for which he plies the lash.” The only reason why anybody would be so vocal about the sins of homosexuality is because of their own shame. Stop projecting your self hate and shame onto others, get over yourself. The world is hard enough already without people intentionally making it harder for other people.

The anti-homosexual movement is little more than a scapegoat distraction. Blame the gays they say. Like the Nazi movement in Germany blamed the Jews, then gypsies, then the polish… it’s all simply scapegoating. Until these people (religious folks) are willing to face up to their ACTUAL problems (poverty, disease…) and NOT rely on the invisible hands of god or government to solve them, they will remain addicts to this poisonous “religious” movement.

Just a question… what happens if they succeed in eliminating homosexual “sinners” what happens then? Will earth be Eden again? Will killing homosexuals (also gods children) grant them entry to heaven? Will the end of homosexuality mean prosperity and happiness? Will they finally shut up and let the rest of us live our lives? NO, they’ll move on to scapegoat somebody else… like that saying from Martin Neimoller, the German pastor castigating the inactivity of the German intellectual elite during WWII.

"THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

THEN THEY CAME for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."

Simply put, there are all too many good and valid arguments as to why homosexuals are to be treated no differently than anybody else (like basic human decency), and there is really only ONE argument to justify any contradiction to this, the whole “sin” argument… a very weak argument, based only on books of bronze age mythology.

how is hatred, slander, and bigotry a family value?

Poo poo!

This is awesome. I can't quite understand, because our culture is so far removed from this extremist anti-gay movement. How surreal, shocking, appauling. This goes against social evolution so directly.

This was an amazing docu.

i am a christian and this is not the essence of christianity... at all.

How hard is it to understand that when you die all you get is six feet under dirt and rocks. Why make your life or someone else's so miserable for an imaginary man?

Article 2 of the Convention defines genocide as

...any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

– Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2
(United Nations General Assembly)

all of these people who say homosexuals deserve to be hated,imprisoned, put to death based on their religious views are forgetting one important fact. The bible says what it says about a man laying with a man, but nowhere does it say that a mortal decides if someone lives or dies, only god makes that decision, and none of these people preaching such hatred are divine entities(if i spelled that wrong sorry)

Just so that I understand correctly, crypto-religious American fascist neo-imperialism is making Uganda a dangerous place to like The Culture Club and oddly shaped carrots. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either Go From now on sin no more." John 8:7-11

They shouldn't just read the bible just as an accomplishment, they should try to get to know the one who wrote it, because surely cruel punishment without compassion for those that need it the most is NOT on his heart...this saddens me so so much...

Religious people amuuuuuuuuuuse me.

Take a group of idiots, give them the Bible, and the Uganda Anti-Gay Bill is the result!

I'd also like to point out to those who oppose Gay Marriage..... that these people are on your side!

What do gays do in our bedrooms???

Well, probably 98% of the time, this homo plays World of Warcraft, reads news, drinks wine, watches TV, sleeps, browses facebook.....
