There is an incredible amount of fear, anxiety and inter-personal violence in the Northeast at present--much of it brought on by economic uncertainty.

It is not withholding justice for some to appease murderers on another continent. The massacres and strife in Africa are indeed horrible. But using justice for LGBT people in America as an excuse for murder! Buying into that false premise is dangerous, as it encourages the homophobia and violence there. We need to show the Radical Love of Christ. We need to show it to Africa's LGBT people who are being arrested, beaten, jailed, and murdered by the state, supported by "Christians." <br /><br />It is really something to see people buy into a false premise. Homophobic Muslims are killing homophobic Christians because they want power, territory, and oil. If we suddenly reversed all justice and inclusion for LGBT people in the church, the murderers would find another excuse. Does anyone think that reversing course on justice would bring about peace in Africa?
