Gays compared with incest and pedophilia - Sydney Archbishops on gay marriage

More love from the christians.

The Catholic and Anglican Archbishops of Sydney seem to think they still carry moral weight in Australia, even though both their churches have had a number of cases of child rape by their ministry. Why they think that they can preach to us about morality now I don't know. 

And they're doing it in the most offensive way imaginable. Ironically the Catholic Archbishop chose to vent his warnings of the gay apocalypse at a free market thing tank of all things. WTF does christianity have to do with free market capitalism that throws the poor to the dogs?

The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, Anthony Fisher, has painted the most frightening picture yet of how gay marriage might threaten democracy itself.

Should the plebiscite on the issue expected in the next parliament be successful, within a decade bishops could be imprisoned, political dissent silenced, scripture lessons banned, and tax exemptions for religious institutions discarded, he said this week in an address to the free market think-tank, the Centre for Independent Studies.

In a speech provocatively titled "Should Bakers Be Required to Bake Gay Wedding Cakes?", Archbishop Fisher warned of persecution and prosecution for those who failed to "toe the PC line" in a post-gay marriage world. more

Somehow I don't expect any of that to happen. Has it happened in New Zealand? Life has gone on over there and people are wondering WTF all the fuss was about by the loony christians.

   
Not to be outdone though, the Anglican Archbishop let gays have it with both barrels. He compares gay marriage to incest and pedophilia. Also ironically, he accuses gays of being the haters.

This week, the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, Dr Glenn Davies, called on people of faith to speak up against the tide of pro-gay marriage sentiment, even if that meant weathering vilification and hatred. 

"There simply is no 'marriage equality' for everyone," Dr Davies said. "Marriage necessarily has boundaries that even the adherents of the facile rhetoric of 'marriage equality' cannot deny." 

Children, siblings and those already betrothed cannot be married, for instance. more

Lovely.

And no, that's not going to happen either. But to even compare marriage equality to those things is deeply offensive. I'm not going to marry my brother or sister (I hate my fuckin family anyway) and I bought up a daughter and am not a pedophile.
