    Why's so called men of god keep dwelling on this filthy lifestyle?

  • yooosi 10 years ago

    More dangerous about this phenomenon is that married women indulge in lesbianism and think that it is more sinful to indulge in sex with a male than to do so with a female

    The church now sees itself as a business competing with industries and companies on the annual turn over ladders! They have neglected their calling as the moral conscience of society!

    Yaanom fail to understand the essence of what the Bishop says It is not what the family eats ,it is about the continuity of creation,

  • USACANADAUK 10 years ago

    If you breed into a society where there is not enough to eat, what do you think happens ? Armed Robbery, Fool. Misplacement of priority, thats what Yaanom is trying to point out

  • USACANADAUK 10 years ago

    Good point. The clergy should be more concerned about the deplorable state of Ghanaian inflicted by their own leaders than what the West can ever do to Ghana.

    IT is wrong for the bishop to be given incorrect information. Homosexuality is as old as the creation of the world. It did not start in Europe.

  • Reality 10 years ago

    Adam was a man and Eve a woman. The Human race started from them. They were not Homos. The act can be old as the bible talks about it and detest is but cannot be old as you want people to believe.

    Well said but the religious authority must see to it that their members doesn't engage in it. more action than words.

  • Janet Asibi 10 years ago

    What about rev. fathers raping and sodomizing young boys and girls in the church? What did the pope say about it? Some of these things originated from the church but we cannot observe them. Lets start from our "homes".
