Horrible. What a surprise then that a Cleric incites this kind of behaviour. And they have the nerve to call themselves men of god! They make me puke.

Magneto was right. We must kill all humans.

The situation is very sad indeed

You know among the groups the X-Men represented, gay people were one of them.

 

Magneto is what the creator thought would eventually come out of an oppressed set of people, a militant ideologue, who in his misguided desire to seek revenge harms the very people he want to protect, because the normals within society would want to intensify their oppression, which in turns intensifies Magneto's desire for revenge and ends in the oppressed becoming the oppressor. Gay Rights has not have a very militant leadership, except for a few writers that no one listens to, hehe!

 

It's really sad what is happening to gay people across the world and Iraq is just one area of problems. Iran is far worse, since there is no news coming out of the executions of gays in that country. It is merely accepted and quite literally depressing to think about.

That's really very sad.

 

Talking about Magneto, interestingly, the actor portraying (Ian McKellen) the character is gay.

On one level, the Biblical stricture against homosexuality makes sense: the Hebrews needed all the troops they could get to prosecute their wars, and anyone not making babies didn't support that goal. On one level, the Biblical demand that people multiply and fill the earth makes sense: the more people, the greater the army could be. On one level, creating rules that enforce the notion, "if you are like me, you're good; if you're not like me, you're bad" makes sense. However, all this is much too simplistic. What (please feel free to speculate) is really at the root of the strictures, the rules, and the hate? Please begin with the premise that the relevant religious texts were not written by god.

Good points David. Your last sentence was my favorite.

Ugh. Sad story. It's sad to see things like this still happening.

It's always easier to be militant when you have super powers!
