Christian Voice nutter, Stephen Green, has been noted arguing a particularly reprehensible line of reasoning. You don't get much lower than this.
From the Guardian:
On Sunday evening, a lone campaigner stood outside St Mary's church, Putney. Stephen Green, a haggard and unshaven figure, obsessed and weighed down by the wickedness of modern Britain, handed out leaflets warning of the consequences of same-sex love, while announcing to anyone who would listen: "Homosexuality and sexual immorality is all on a continuum with paedophilia, bestiality, adultery, child-sacrifice. You are saying it is all OK."

Paedophilia: Informed consent, twit.
Bestiality: See above.
Adultery: So? What business is it of yours?
Child-sacrifice: You think recognizing the right of gays to marry the person they love (or even to love the person they love) will lead to this? What sort of whacked-out universe do you live in?
You're an asshole. If I was there I would have punched your sorry face in.
Homosexuality is completely ok, but that other shit you listed isn't. It's not the same so stop pretending it is.
"Homosexuality and sexual immorality is all on a continuum with paedophilia, bestiality, adultery, child-sacrifice"
And so is heterosexuality, desires for companionship, and being human on a continuum with that breadth.
Kill the humans! Being alive is a slippery slope to child molestation!
Outside of the child sacrifice bit, I don't see how this is "particularly reprehensible." Stupid, sure, but as fundies go, pretty standard routine.
@ Son of a Nonymous:
It's only standard routine here, in America. In Britain and in most of Europe, people see it as religious fanaticism, as it really is.
Bestiality and pedophilia are both sick because neither can consent to sex. Child sacrifice is an act of murder.
Adultery, while being a fairly shitty thing to do, is nowhere near as bad as any of the above three. It can hurt someone (emotionally), though, so it's still immoral.
Homosexuality hurts no one, it's a consensual act as long as both are of legal age, and many homosexuals become much, much happier once they come out and are able to date whoever they please, without fear of having to hide it from everyone.
How you can put homosexuality in the same category as ANY of the above, particularly pedophilia and child sacrifice, is beyond me.
In a way we should be greatfull for nuts like these, they demonsrtate just how unreasonable that whole anti-gay movement is, I mean realy homosexualtiy == Child sacrifice? who does he think he's kidding.
He's on his own because everyone with a modicum of common sense knows he's a blithering idiot. Fundies in most of Europe and England tend to get completely ignored, or their acts dismissed as outright lunacy, which is what it really is, by and large. Eventually Stephen will take the message and quietly fuck off.

...and that's before
Using the Catholic Church scandals, recent news about baptist and mormon summer camps, and the history of Muslim customs as evidence, I would argue that the followers of organized religion allow and encourage more rape, child molestation, and child sacfrifice than...
That's right. Having another man stick his penis in your butt is exactly the same as sacrificing children. You heard it here first, folks! (Oh, wait, no you didn't.)
"Homosexuality and sexual immorality is all on a continuum with paedophilia, bestiality, adultery...
...child-sacrifice. ...
Sound familar?
With the exception of child sacrifice (think he's confusing homosexuality with organised religion there), they are all on a continuum as aspects of human sexual practices. I wonder what else could be on that continuum, ah yes: Heterosexuality. OMG let's ban all heterosexuals quick before they become pedos!!
On the other hand, apparently Christian Voice is all for allowing husbands to rape their wives. Which is of course in no way abhorrent. Ah wait...
Oh, can I play too?
Fundamental religious belief left to its own devices leads to oppression, genocide, pedophelia.
See, I can link completely unrelated topics too.
Except in this case, fundamental religious belief actually HAS led to all of these things, whereas in your case, you are making shit up.
Uh, no, we're saying if it harms no-one and is between consenting adults, its OK. If it doesn't meet those critera, its not OK. Surely that's not hard to understand?
...with paedophilia, bestiality, adultery, child-sacrifice.
Homosexuals are purely genders begin affectionate to their own gender. It has nothing to do with these things.
And a WTF for "child-sacrifices". (Really, is that the best they can come up with?)

You are saying it is all OK
>2013 Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act in UK. Legislation-deciding referendum in Ireland. Obergefell vs. Hodges in US.
Yes.
Your 'line of reasoning' has been found wanting.
And we don't want it.
But you clearly support paedophilia. Tony Alamo. Josh Buggar. Roy Less .
Shall I continue, or have I sufficiently annihilated your argument? Don't make me get out my proof that your 'God' - via putting in Le Club Pudding the underage child bride Mary - is a worse -than sinner.
Because then, the fact you wouldn't even have a 'Line of Reasoning' would be the least of your problems, Steviepoos.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
