"They have no mandate whatsoever to come and say: 'Your values are wrong, mine are right," according to AFP. Reports have indicated that religious leaders in Uganda, including the Rev. Aaron Mwesigye of the Church of Uganda, want the death penalty provision removed but support life imprisonment. In the United States, some Christians have expressed opposition to the measure in its entirety in informal discussions but formal statements have yet to be made. 'I am not sure it is on the radar of many groups here,' Throckmorton wrote on the Facebook page. 'We are out inin front as far as I can tell.' Throckmorton has urged Christ followers in Uganda to 'put down the stones,' as he cited the New Testament account of the woman caught in the act of adultery. 'If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her,' Jesus told those who were about to stone the woman. Everyone left without tossing one stone. 'Jesus intervened on behalf of the woman, was He wrong?' Throckmorton noted in an op-ed in Uganda's The Independent. 'Clearly, He did not believe adultery was proper. But He signaled a new way of dealing with sin, one which emphasizes mercy and freedom, rather than coercion and death. 'Brothers and sisters, jailing or killing gays or those suspected of being gay or those who know gays cannot create a righteous people, and in fact may further a self-righteous people. One may disapprove of homosexuality, and still treat homosexuals as you would want to be treated. Who among us could stand if our private sins were judged in such a manner as the Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009?'"

Well, I guess he obeys the ten commandments, of which my favorite is: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours ass (It's in the King James version - I'm not making that part up), nor his wife's ass, nor his son's ass, etc" I think I got that right - it's been a long time. I find it most interesting that he says,'Some of my best friends are homosexual'...
