Elton banned in Egypt


Elton John has been banned in Egypt. In fact, he is banned in all Muslim countries. The reason: he is a declared homosexual.

I think Elton is the best or one of the best songwriters of the current generation. His Lions King and the Circle of Life songs made people cry in the cinema. The pinball wizard in Tommy was a revelation. While I believe that a person who dies without issue is a loss for humanity, Elton added to human wealth and his life is not wasted. Muslim bigotry is unjust, stupid and selfdefeating.

Leviticus 20:13

וְאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִשְׁכַּ֤ב אֶת־זָכָר֙ מִשְׁכְּבֵ֣י אִשָּׁ֔ה תֹּועֵבָ֥ה
עָשׂ֖וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֑ם מֹ֥ות יוּמָ֖תוּ דְּמֵיהֶ֥ם בָּֽם׃


For 2,000+ years this has been the teaching of the Torah. Do we have the right to make our own morality and criticize those who have not abandoned the teachings of all generations except this one?

Translation, please.

Anyway, they can't help it, at least their orientation, even if they can, to some extent, help their behaviour.

The explanation for homosexuality continues to elude mainstream science (which is not a surprise since they are not allowed to investigate it as a disease; even as a phenomenon it is difficult to get funding to seriously study it.)

I think there is a gene which is beneficial in their sisters, makes them hyper-sexual and reproductively more active and successful.

This can really be the only explanation. But today, their sisters (if they have any) are probably in to sex without reproduction, so society gets the disadvantage of a non-reproductive male without the compensatory advantage of hyper-reproductive and sexually successful females.

The Bible (above, in Hebrew) is opposed to homosexuality and decretes death to both partners. So it was practiced for many generations, yet the gene persists. Probably it provides some reproductive advantage we are unaware of. Anyway, as a productive and creative person, Elton John should let live and I dont care what he does in the airport toilet.

There are homosexuals who born with the gene and there are homosexual who are made so. The attractions of a homosexual life are obvious, one can have sex without consequences at least till AIDS came along. Then they started bullshit about how everyone, the babe in arm, the chaste married couple, everyone under the sun. Elton John is scraping the barrel here in going to Egypt. He must have run out of fans who pay good money to see his outlandish glasses and scarves. His best work was in the early 70s. Crocodile Rock, Candle in the Wind and Rocketman are classics. Then he was silent about his degenerate lifestyle and concentrated on his music. There is a lesson here; God gives gays the grace to achieve their artistic potential if only they would shut the FU.

I should scan what I write...

Translation:

[And God spoke to Moses and said..]

If a man lies with a man, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Then again, a nearby passage also prescribes death for adultery (but only with a married woman). If this were enforced, we would have to do away with most of our political leaders .

Maybe putting to death a selected few would stop the rest. I have in my mind a few names to start with the stoning.

There are other places in the world where this happens routinely.

We do not have to add to their misery.

I always felt, as an observer, the term 'gay' was coined half in irony.

Orhodox Jews consider homosexuality a curable disease and force them to marry. The fact is that each unmarried Jewish male frustrates the desire of a Jewish meydele to have children. Having many daughters, I am for making obligatory for every walking Jew to marry or pay exhorbitant taxes.
I know it wouldnt work. Just talking.

It will be interesting to see what happens in China where the # of males greatly exceeds the # of females (Chinese are mostly limited to 1 child and they prefer that it be a boy. ) Maybe Israel can import Chinese men - they could claim to be Kaifeng Jews. They would be at least as Jewish as the Falashas and more intelligent.
