600 "Christians" equate SARS and AIDS with Pride Week
Damian Penny reports a demonstration of six-hundred people protesting Ontario Court of Appeals ruling granting consitutional recognition of gay marriage and the upcoming Pride Week in Toronto:
The "Christian right" may not have as much power up here as it does in the United States, but that doesn't mean we don't have religious nuts of our own
One protestor claimed SARS would end if only the "AIDS parade" would be cancelled. I have never understood the fixation some people have with disease and their evident glee in the suffering of people with whom they disagree. It strikes me as an attitude in profound opposition to the teachings of Christ even, and especially, if their personal views are in opposition to "homosexuality":
When Jesus heard it, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."
Mark 2:17
The Flea does not claim to speak for all Christians. But those protestors do not speak for me as a Christian.

There are at least a few passages in the New Testament that these folks have not yet read. Let's see..."Do unto others...", the Sermon on the Mount, the washing of feet, the eating of dinner with the poor/sick/sinners, oh, I'm sure I've missed a few they appear not to have read.
