First World/ IMF 31 advanced countries and Gay Persecution | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 Sept 2007 - The Church in Singapore appears to have won the debate to maintain the criminalization of Gay Sex with upto 2 years for gross indecency between men under section 377a. A minority, yet very vocal and influential, the Christians have insisted that Gays must be criminalized and that Singapore has done well and prospered as a nation because of such strong moral foundation. Amongst the first world or IMF 31 advanced countries of whom Singapore is considered as, 97% of the nations have decriminalized Gay Sex with 3% still retaining in.This included the most religious and conservative "Christian" countries such as the United States. Even the Christian Right there which is so anti-gay have at the very least agreed to give gays the basic dignity and humanity of not sending them to jail. Are the Christians in Singapore more moral and righteousness than the rest of the World? not withstanding that we have no laws against consensual Prostitution, or now anal/Oral sex for non-gay people. Let us remember the
The course of justice for the gay community has flowed down throughout the ages from the late 18th century where gay sex started to be decriminalized (after being made an offence by the church for the last 1000 years), and now it flows down the river getting stonger and stronger taking the nations with it even the most strongest religious nations such as Israel in 1988 and now it comes to a halt in Singapore!.The pressure and force of this river will be increasing because it is of the Lord. We may resist but ultimately it will overflow us and move on, for it has to. Remember the warning of the Prophet Amos to let justice be executed lest God hears not our praise and worship even from our titanium churches and the best bands and speakers in the world that we invite. The last person in the musical chair suffers the penalty. Let us pray that there is still time to repent.
