ADDIS ABABA (AFP) – Religious leaders in Ethiopia on Monday urged lawmakers to amend the country's constitution to ban homosexuality in a move they argue could further strengthen existing codes.
At a meeting in the Ethiopian capital, nearly a dozen religious figures, including heads of Ethiopia's Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, adopted a resolution against homosexuality, which they termed as "the pinnacle of immorality."
They also blamed homosexuality for the rise in sexual attacks on children and young men.
"This is something very strange in Ethiopia, the land of the Bible that condemns this very strongly," said Abune Paolos, the patriarch of Ethiopia's Orthodox Church.
"For people to act in this manner they have to be dumb, stupid like animals," he told reporters. "We strongly condemn this behaviour. They (homosexuals) have to be disciplined and their acts discriminated, they have to be given a lesson."

Who should we blame for attacks on homosexuals?
"They (homosexuals) have to be disciplined and their acts discriminated, they have to be given a lesson"
Why don't you let the muslims help you with that. I mean when they aren't burning down your churches.
"For people to act in this manner they have to be dumb, stupid like animals"
Well, you said it! But what about the queers?
Ethiopia - Heaven in the eyes of Retard Ready!
I hope every fucker on RR move to Ethiopia, I'll even chip to cover the expenses!
Yeah, that'll work.
And what atrocity would you like to commit upon those you discover as punishment?
Religious fanatics stoning homosexuals to death did not stop homosexuality.
Religious fanatics burning homosexuals at the stake did not stop homosexuality.
Ultra-conservative ideologues putting homosexuals in concentration camps and gassing them did not stop homosexuality.
So what do these fucktards have in mind?
"For people to act in this manner they have to be dumb, stupid like animals. We strongly condemn this behaviour. They (religious fanatics) have to be disciplined and their acts discriminated. They have to be disempowered."
Fixed.
So homosexuality is the worst thing because it supposedly causes pedophilia?
So.. so, like... crack down on pedos. Duh.
So the shittiest places on Earth (such as Ethiopia) and the dumbest people on Earth (Raptards) think all their problems are caused by teh ghey, rather than by ignorance, bigotry, brutality and fanaticism.
As Tim Curry proclaimed to the Muppets, "Now there's an informed opinion!"
"heads of Ethiopia's Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant churches" No WONDER Ethiopia's so poor! The Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant Christians must be spending all their energy fighting each other, and don't have time or resources for anything else.
Homosexuality is "the pinnacle of depravity?"
So, I guess things like genocide (The holocaust comes to mind, as well as atrocities in Rwanda and Serbia), mass murder, rape of women, countries starving their own people while corrupt government officials live in opulent palaces, war, pedophilia and countless other atrocities rank much lower on your warped scale of depravity? Oh, please do tell me: What will you do with those faithful Catholic priests who get caught diddling little altar boys?
Well, I guess all of us homos, lesbians, Bisexuals and trannies will have a gay old time in hell, while you enjoy hobnobbing with the likes of Hitler, Pol Pot, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and other more righteous people than us in heaven. Wow, sounds like fun. Sorry I'll miss it. Not.
That's just wonderful. Why not try, I dunno, feeding your starving people? Nah, ban the ghey. Way to miss the mark on the "What Would Jesus Do" meter.
Ethiopia:
one of the poorest, most riven countries on the globe. A country forever with its hand out, but buying weapons like cupcakes.
And we give aid why? Let these three "great" sects sell up their wealth and give it in aid: I don't know why the fuck this queer ought to give through his taxes in overseas aid to support these fucktards
if it works, the fundies will go wild and push for it here
when it fails, they'll dismiss it because obviously they are nothing in common with Christian America and her traditional christian views
Sad for Africa, the savagery that was taught to them by their colonizers, who sailed the seas to find a convert, so they could make him twice as worthy of hell as they were.
You live in fucking ETHIOPIA and you think your biggest problem is gays?
Get your fucking act together, idiots.
"They also blamed homosexuality for the rise in sexual attacks on children and young men. "
Not all pedophiles are gays.
No. That would be homophobes.
Reminds me of a Bloom County strip:
"The Bible says, 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.' "
Homosexuals are "stupid like animals"? I've heard of dehumanizing your opponent, but holy crap!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
