Doesn't invalidate that many of the atrocities in the world have been cause directly, indirectly or supported under the name of religion.

Plus, it seems set up.

I don't think it was set up.

I'VE SEEEN THAT GUY AT MY CAMPUSES MANY TIMES. lol Wow, its a small world... it was surprising seeing a video of him here. Also, I've never seen a stunt like that around him... So...

Considering what I know and seen... this was not set up. And actually from my experience... as a Christian myself, I've spoken and engaged to talk to gay advocates... and I can relate to this because from those encounters I got SERIOUS hate vib being thrown at me... whether its via the stereotypes they give me or the tone of thier voice. (screaming)

It might not have been.  And I'm not saying you are, but you got to see where they(he) are(is) coming from.  Some people who call themselves Christians have been viciously nasty to gay people trying to deny them their dignity, right to work, right to love, be in a family, etc. Plus, that 'death penalty to gay' in Uganda is mostly sponsored by Christians from the USA.

I find if someone has to tell you what they are, it's because that is how they want you to perceive them.  It may have nothing to do with how they actually live.  It's like those people that say, "I'm a giving person!" when in reality they are total narcissistic users.
