Is anybody surprised? Off course not, what the heck was Elton smoking on when he decided to bring this topic up?!
In his interview for last week’s issue of Parade, he shared: “I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don’t know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East—you’re as good as dead.”
Ugh-huh, pretty liberal understanding of faith, don’t you agree? And, as expected, Christian groups rushed to answer this referring to Elton John ignorant and intolerant.
Catholic League President, Bill Donohue, slammed Elton immediately:” Jesus was certainly compassionate, but to say He was “super-intelligent” is to compare the Son of God to a successful game-show contestant. More seriously, to call Jesus a homosexual is to label Him a sexual deviant.
But what else would we expect from a man who previously said, “From my point of view, I would ban religion completely.”
We’re not sure what’s worse—John’s ignorance or intolerance. In any event, if we thought we could persuade him to issue an apology, we would try. But given his recidivism, we won’t even bother to ask. One thing is clear: someone needs to straighten John out. “
