Minister says tattoo gays with warning

The chaplain to the London Stock Exchange is recommending homosexuals be tattooed with a health warning similar to those on cigarette packs.

The Rev. Peter Mullen made the suggestion in a posting on a blog where he called homosexuality "clearly unnatural, a perversion" and "a cause of fatal disease," The Daily Telegraph reported Monday.

The newspaper said Mullen also posted a poem about the blessing of two gay priests that concludes: "The new Church of England embraces diversity, A fresh modulation on ancient perversity."

The bishop of London has condemned Mullen's writings.

"While clergy are entitled to their own personal views, we recognize that the content of this text is highly offensive and is in no way reflective of the views of the Diocese of London," a spokesman said.

Church officials have told Mullen he could face disciplinary action.

It seems some people are quick to shoot others down for saying what they believe the Bible says.

Romans 1:26
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
Romans 1:27
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion
I believe your argument is with God not his messengers, not that I support the tattooing method, but that appears to be the method of choice for the anti-christ.

I don't know about any of you, but my first thought when I read this article was, is this where the tattooing of the mark of the beast will start? From a minister, a so called man of God? It's really kind of an eerie thought, isn't it? There should be no forced tattooing on anyone. Our job is not to condemn, but to witness in the hopes of bringing the unsaved into God's fold.

Another rabid religious mind that has forgotten Jesus Christ (The Creator of all Life) said he came to "save sinners, not the righteous". Now this is the kind of preacher. One that judges, convicts and sends people to hell before they are physically dead...my kind of hypocrite. This is something you cannot blame on me...HA HA!!!

Tattooing

This is just the first step in resurrecting Nazi treatment of Jews in the 1930's. Something I guess Shiloh is perfectly in agreement with. I guess the camps will soon be built. KitchenAid or Kenmore will start production on human size ovens. Commandants of camps can have human skin decorating their plush homes - like in lamp shades and stuff.

p.s. apologies to KitchenAid and Kenmore. You were the only two guys I could think of.
