God bless you too. The days of Sodom and Gomorrah were real, not fairy tail. Why do they still use sodomy to describe an indecent act if it never existed?

The man called pilolo or whatever your name is, are you serious in life at all? What is wrong with the issue the man of God put out there? In fact, sometimes I wonder the kind of people some of young men of today want to be in the future. If you don't like him, just don't try and comment on issues spiritual and national concerns that he brings out. You are there judging someone as demonic and foolish, whilst the act (homosexuality), that the man of God spoke against is not seen by you as demonic, foolish and unlogical. I pray that, the good Lord will forgive you for just insulting a fellow human being and judging him, at the same time referring to him as a demon. It's my prayer that, the Holy Spirit will touch you and I know when you are touched, you will surely proclaim that, Christ Jesus is Lord forever and you will stop calling and referring to your fellow human beings, who are actually standing for the truth as demons and foolish. May God have mercy on you!!!

Pilolo, I don't understand you. Why are you insulting him recklessly? He made a point so you have to make a counter argument so that we all know what you are about. I notice that the homosexual community has got this legitimacy that they have become insolent and intolerant. If there is any intolerant community, it is the homosexual community.
I have also noted that the homosexuals have adopted this PR line that if you criticise them, then you are a homosexual yourself. This is a shaming tactic which has made me realise that their cause was projected by highly sophisticated PR strategy but not on the truth or any scientific basis. That is why those who objected to this idea that people were born gay thrown out of decision making bodies like the American Psychological Association to pave the way for the WHO to approve that homosexuality is not a psychiatric disorder.
Give me an alternative view.

And what policy is he advocating for polygamy, having sex with underage people or women speaking up in church.

These are all equally condemned acts in the bible. BUt of course many people are doing those including the pastors who are number one in bathing peoples wife at night and sexing them Nicodemously.

Twea. Don't waste your time listening to these idiots.

The bible you are quoting and the homosexuality you are now condemning were introduced to you by the say people. How did you know how to accept one and rejects the the other?

If he is a wife beater, do you think the disciplined church of Presbyterian would have elected him moderator for two terms? If your allegation holds water, then you it should be very damaging to the image of the church for electing a wife beater as its moderator. Perhaps the church did not have the information, if it is true.

You sound like you are taking the man's caution a little too personal.What is wrong? Did he touch a raw nerve or something? This issue you call gay thing is more than moral affairs for many Ghanaians hence the very stiff opposition.If they feel they can tell us how to do it in the bedroom and tell us that if we don't obey they will cut off aid then it must be time to adopt their national anthem and national colours and be done with it.I have yet to see a government sanctioned lynch of gays so don't worry about your safety.Let Ghanaians decide for themselves how to proceed.

Where do children come from? ...as a result of heterosexual marriage between a man and a woman?” This is aboslutely not true. A lot of children are born to women who are NOT MARRIED, or at NOT married to the (biological) father of the child.

By the logic of this 'prof' married heterosexual couples who do not have children can also NOT adopt, because their marriage/relationship is supposed to result in children.

Mr Mantey,please give us a break,some of us are sick and tired of hearing about gays in a country where not even one person is known to be openly gay,stop giving prominence to these people,some of you these members of the clergy are the ones promoting gays in the country with your preaching of gay issues instead of issues in the bible,if you guys can no more read the bible to tell your congregants what is in the bible as in the past stop preaching and start reading story books or documentary on gays.

Even in America you don't hear about discussions on gays in the mainstream media the way it has been the case in Ghana these days,it seems some of you pastors are gays hiding behind the bible.

Corney, and all of you guys who are against these pastors who speak against homosexuality, if you must know this disease is gaining grounds here in the West because pastors here fail to condemn it strongly enough. So it is moral obligation on pastors and other leaders in Africa as a whole to stand up strongly against it before it starts gaining ground. So please lets get behind our pastors and other leaders in their fight against this disease.

Such ignorance makes me real sad,black people having been at the recieving end of apathied and the slave trade one would have thought we have learnt from how it feels LIKE to be different,but we've learnt nothing.THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE in how we treat gay people in africa and how black people are treated or seen in places like Russia.just because they are different and not a fault of thiers.People like you calling for the Heads of Gay people are not Different from the Nazis and most recently Boko haram,You dont think you are today but 30years from now,just like apathied,just like hitler and the killing of the jews,you'll see how stupid you are to be against a big chunk of society whose only crime was been born different or just because you dont understand how people could be gay.That is what all this gay story is about.You can shout all you like,you'll even kill a few of them but at the end of the day gay people would trumph because just like Apathied,People dont choose to be gay,Ask yourself who in thier right frame of mind would choose to be Gay in africa?what straight man would choose to be gay?its too much hussle.People are born Gay.we want democracy but we dont want to be acceptant and tolerance of people who are different from us,its called boko haram,kill everybody who dont agree with us,Democracy dont work that way.so what you going to do in the name of your God to the growing population of Gay people?Lets have a sensible debate not calling names and been abusive due to your own lack of knowledge.

He is not stupid or idiot, neither is he smart.
He is raising a genuine concern at the wrong time. If we have not change our laws and we have not endorsed gay marriage why are you telling the government to protect children from adoption by gay couples. The practice is illegal so how do we describe any of them as gay couple. If Rev Martey knows anyone of them he must report them for prosecution. That is the only way we can acknowledge the fight prof is engaging.

Kojo Bonsu, if someone wants to adopt a child they don't just go to a children's home and the child is given to them. They would have to fill a form and a thorough investigation is carried out about them. So what the pastor is saying is like this investigation should also delve into their sexuality, and if it is found out that they are homosexual they should be denied the right to adopt any child.

Dr Martey, your book sanctions the ff: Raping the women of your enemies upon conquest. 2. The killing of pregnant women and unborn babies. The above are regarded as war crimes today. 3. Genocide and ethnic cleansing per the so-called "Promised Land" directive for the desert brigands or hebrews to take the land of the Philistines. 4. The creator is further alleged to have sanctioned environmental degradation by requiring that the wooded highlands of the territory be denuded resulting in the desertification of the land. 5. Your book sanctions slavery!! Why does the church claim polygamy is sinful when the Creator allegedly sanctioned it and there is nothing in your book that overturns it. Yehoshua ha Notzri the dreadlocks had nothing to say on the subject, but he threw the money chamgers outta the Temple. WTF YOU THINK DAVID & JONATHAN were up to?

When did you, Prof Martey, call on government to protect church goers from preachers, Pastors and title crazed church leaders? When did any of your kind call on government to monitor heterosexuals since there are plenty of abuses of the sexual kind that goes on in our heterosexual families?

To call yourself the servant of God, Prof Martey, while you display the kind of ignorance reserved for the uneducated and unwise tells me you’re unenlightened, have not been communicating with God and not praying to and asking God to give you wisdom.

The gay lifestyle while abhorrent and condemned by God in the Christian Bible you read is not singled out by God for your kind of scorn; the Bible takes issue with other sins without preference. I do not hear you calling on government to setup cameras in each home in Ghana or in the churches to monitor the abuse of the elderly, children, the weak in society and in families; you choose to fan the flame of fear, bigotry and foolishness that church leaders of your kind thrives on for short-term political gains..

The country where disabled people are beaten and chained
I was travelling to Ghana to make a documentary about what life is like for some of the five million people who (according to Human Rights Watch) have a disability in the country.

To many, Ghana is a beautiful, safe country, the jewel in West Africa's crown. It's home to a wealth of resources that make it a stable and prosperous economy.

But I found some things that many tourists, holidaymakers or backpackers would never see. Nor, in fact, would many Ghanaians.

Sophie with Francis who has been confined.

Some disabled people haven't left the same room for 15 years.

The people I met during my trip were mostly devout Christians, but who had imported traditional beliefs to shape the way they explain disability. It soon dawned on me that for many people, disability was considered not a physical or mental impairment, but in fact a spiritual sickness or curse that could either be healed by prayer or by confinement, and in some cases by physical violence.

Seriously, some African-Americans don't realise how lucky they are.
