Culture war: Film links U.S. Evangelicals to intolerance against gays in Uganda

Are American Evangelicals to blame for a surge of anti-gay sentiment and violence in Uganda?

Roger Ross Williams, the director of the new documentary “God Loves Uganda,” told “Top Line” that American Evangelical missionaries are contributing to a raging culture war over homosexuality in Uganda, where just a few years ago a law was proposed that prescribes the death penalty for certain homosexual acts.

“All the Evangelicals I followed told me they feel like they've lost the culture war here in America as marriage equality has passed state by state, the recent Supreme Court rulings, but they are winning in the global South and especially in Africa and Uganda,” Williams said.

Williams’ documentary looks specifically at the prominent ministry in Uganda by the American Evangelical group known as the International House of Prayer (IHOP).

“They don't do any humanitarian work,” Williams said. “They don't build schools or hospitals or help people. … It's a numbers game, convert souls, and that's it.”

Ministries like the International House of Prayer, Williams’ said, are preying on a vulnerable population.

“Uganda is a very vulnerable population to the sort of prosperity gospel and that message,” he said. “They're poor, they're sick, and you come in and you say we're going to cure you, we're going to heal you. It works.”

And their Evangelical message, which teaches that homosexuality is a sin, is inadvertently contributing to religiously-fueled, and sometimes violent, intolerance against the LGBTI community in Uganda.

“For a lot of these young people, it is a time to have an adventure, but for the poor African listening to this, they think that’s how it should be,” said one Ugandan minister, who believes American Evangelical ministry is having negative effects on his country, in the film.

Disgusting, these Evangelicals really are sick, twisted, evil people.

For centuries they've gotten away with preying on poor, vulnerable, uneducated Americans promising them that if they hate gays and throw all their meager earnings onto the collection plate each Sunday, then one day they will achieve 'prosperity' and a place in Heaven.

Now that they are finally coming to the realization that they have lost the 'Culture War' in America, these parasites are seeking out new hosts to feed off of, whether they be Russia or Uganda or Zimbabwe or any other vulnerable developmentally-challenged nation.

Sick that they are taking advantage of the poverty and misery of Uganda, not to the feed the hungry or clothe the naked or heal the sick like Jesus says to in the Bible, but to promote a gospel of incredible Hate, even going so far as to advocate for anti-gay legislation to be signed into law, whether it be the "anti-gay propaganda law" in Russia, or this vicious "Kill the Gays" bill in Uganda.

These bloodsucking parasites should be ashamed of themselves. Evangelical Christians contribute nothing but hatred and division, horrors, death, and destruction to the entire world.

And Christians have the gall to call themselves the martyrs.

Missionaries should be outlawed. They destroy traditional cultures and are nothing but a conversion ploy.

I've always wanted to start an anti-missionary organization, and deploy people to combat these so-called Christians, and thwart their conversion efforts.

"For those 12 long hours, God and Satan fought for my soul. In the end, I had no doubt that God had won, but one question lingered in my mind. Which of the twain was God?"

If I were a religious person, these are the people I'd call satanists. The scariest part is, these evangelicals have no doubt in their mind that they are doing the right thing. I elect that we build some sort of asylum to nurse evangelists back to health and help them understand things like 'ethics'.
