Desmond Tutu: "I'd rather go to hell than worship a homophobic God."

Every day it seems I read of another powerful person coming to the realization that being gay is OK. I know there is a long way to go before people are legally allowed to lead their lives as they see fit but when someone like Tutu come out in favor of it, it makes me thing it's a little bit closer to reality.

Quote:
'I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say sorry, I mean I would much rather go to the other place,' he said.

I don't see why Desmond Tutu's opinion has anymore credence than anyone else’s.

Not a matter of credibility. He has a large audience. His words are listened to by more people than you or I. In that regard he has much more influence and his words carry much more weight. When powerful people speak, people have a tendency to listen

See you in Hell, Desmond. Stay off my seat since it is reserved for ME. I believe I have been told that I have a VIP pass

So, do you get a stadium luxury box? I've been in a few of those, and if you are going to watch the pain, suffering and tortures of Hell, it's the only way to go!

There will be no camaraderie in hell; it will be total separation and isolation from everything--at least as far as I understand it.
