Homophobia in Africa: The American far-right's footprint {barf alert}
DW (Deutsche Welle) (German radio) ^ | March 15, 2024 | Martina Schwikowski

Fundamentalist Christian churches from the United States are increasingly gaining power and influence in societies and political spheres across Africa. Many of them have been whipping up negative sentiments against LGBTQ+ people and abortion rights.

Haley McEwen, a sociologist at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, has examined some of their influential networks.

"US Christian right-wing groups have been very active in the US foreign policy since the early 2000s," McEwen told DW.

"There are several organizations that have been around since the 1970s — and in the early 2000s they started to increase their influence internationally."

Africans don't fancy having their children sodomized.

Guess who's fault.

Am I supposed to see this as a problem?

I believe people who identify as “sociologists” are one of the keys to mankind’s problems. Can you think of a more worthless area of study???

Romans 1:24-32
King James Version

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

True Christians recognize that homosexual acts are sinful...very sinful. There are many,many genuine Christians in Africa...very probably more than you'd find in Europe,North America or anywhere else.

Being opposed to sinful behavior does not indicate any kind of psychological disorder.

The only problem is the assertion is nonsense. Africans didn't suddenly become Christians as a result of current election cycle American fundamentalists.

In former British colonies (for example) it was the efforts of C of E missionaries long ago. The Africans stayed Christian and the C of E did not.

Those are the type of blacks that we should be getting as immigrants, rather that Haitian voodoo practitioners. Those Africans care more about their children than our native born white degenerates.

Bingo! The African Methodist are the same, far more conservative than their counterparts elsewhere.

Christian churches opposing it.
The problem: Rising Homophobia.

Amen.

I get so sick of these "moderates" who think you can be "too far" right or left. The question is sickness or health. Can you be "too healthy?"

Maybe it’s just that some people still know the difference between a boy and a girl.

Maybe they can con some of these countries into joining NATO. Of course there will be strings attached. They’ll have to bow before the altar of Wokism.

It’s only the fundamentalist Christians.
Not so much the “Christians” who rarely read the Bible or who don’t believe in God.

Deutsche Welle is a public, state-owned international broadcaster funded by the German federal tax budget.

For this, one may read "the current German government" resents US Christian fundamentalists having some effect in Africa. No mention is made of the Muslim fundamentalists also evidencing what the German government's broadcaster bemoans about those darned American Christians.

But...

This same STATE-OWNED media reported on Christianity in Germany awhile back.

"Germany's two major Christian churches both recorded a large drop in membership last year. This is a trend that has persisted for a long time, though in 2019, for a change, more Catholics left the church than Protestants. Overall,more than 540,000 Christians turned their back on organized religion. Not since the early 1990s have membership numbers fallen so drastically."

Religion still relevant as churches lose members Deutsche Welle, 29 June 2020

A small point in that article. Islam is growing in Germany. Yeah for Deutsche Welle being peeved about American Christians.

The reporter who did the “What is a woman?” series went to one of them African tribes that essentially has no contact with The White Man or even their governments.

He asked them whether a man can become a woman, and they simply broke out LAUGHING.

What is pissing off the Leftists here is their inability to sell this crap to people they have no control over.

And, by the way, this crap was a MAJOR issue in Niger driving out the French, and now driving out the US. Hopefully we have some Uranium contracts signed with Russia, since otherwise we’ll soon have to start decommissioning our nuclear plants.

So it’s OK for Western globalists to push culture-exterminating homosexual propaganda, but not OK for Christians to support cultures that don’t wish to self-exterminate? Keeping in mind that these cultures, like all other healthy cultures that have survived for millenia, take a dim view of sexual perversions that prevent procreation and spread disease and discord. But no, according to the globohomo fascists, any opposition to their importing their views must be an imported view itself. (It’s all incredibly condescending and racist on the part of the globohomos if you think about it.)
