I cannot think of how a man in his senses would be having a sexual relationship with another man. Even in the world of animals - dogs, cows, lions - we don't hear of such things.
Archbishop of Nigeria, quoted in the Guardian, July 19, 2003.
People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned.
The Price Of The Ticket, (1985)
I do not believe the homosexual community deserves minority status. One's misbehavior does not qualify him or her for minority status. Blacks, Hispanics, women, etc. are God-ordained minorities who do indeed deserve minority status.
USA Today. Quoted from: The Religious Freedom Coalition.
[T]here is a striking similarity between the arguments used to justify anti-miscegenation laws and the arguments put forward today against gay marriage. Tradition, a respect for majority opinion, religion, science, sociology - all were invoked with great somberness and much citation of experts and their research. The prejudice that propped up all the arguments - and, for us, invalidates them - was invisible or inevitable to their proponents. ...Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents, their sentencing judge decreed. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.
The Washingon Post, in a column on gay marriage. (2003)
No culture has ever endured which has turned openly to homosexuality.
Quoted from his website
Oh, you're one of the sodomites. You should get AIDS and die, you pig! Why don't you see if you can sue me, you piece of garbage? Go eat a sausage and choke on it. Get trichinosis.
Talking on MSNBC, July 7, 2003
We know that we are God's people, he forbid us to mix with other nations, to marriage with other nations, to live on the same level as they are. We see this ANC government as punishment [for abandoning apartheid].
Reverend Willie Smith, founder of the church of Lewende Hoop, quoted by the BBC News on August 31, 2003.
This site serves as an archive of quotations dealing with religion and philosophy. Specific topics covered include, but are not limited to: God, faith, reason, skepticism, atheism, agnosticism, fundamentalism, extremism. The quotes are chosen on the basis of my finding them interesting - regardless of whether I agree with them or not. This is by no means an exhaustive collection, although it does grow as I add quotes regularly.
Suggestions? Feel free to email me with quotations you think could be added. I can't guarantee that I will respond to each message and, please, be sure to include a full citation with each quote. There are a lot of sites out there that have many quotes without citations, thus preventing readers from being able to trace the authorship. I have very few of those and don't want any more, if I can help it.
