Let's just stick the latest one where he says sexual orientation is not to be regarded as equality on the same level as gender, (contrary to law.)

"I repeat what you and I have debated many times in the past. I cannot see how organised religions can pick and choose based on scripture, not actually believe it literally but then cling onto it as set in stone when it conflicts with decency. The role of women and the equality of all regardless of creed or sexual orientation being two large elephants in the room."

The role of women in society, and the acceptance of ANY sort of sexual orientation are completely different and should not be lumped together as if they were the same.

The role of women differs slightly in various societies, but is widely accepted worldwide.
Many form of sexual orientation are not accepted and some and are even criminalised here in the UK.
Many more are criminalised worldwide.

The church at least attempts to set some moral standards for society.



Do we get to include his wonderful post on the Scotland thread where he says that brotherhood and equality for all Scots except homosexuals because they are only 1% and spread disease?

Or do we keep going back?
