The scathing analysis below was posted by someone else on another forum. With their permission, I am reproducing it, more or less verbatim, because I broadly agree with its thrust.
Holier than thou religious pontificating is the main reason Bahati’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill ever made it off the back of the drafting envelope, and it is pompous dogmatism that has kept the bill alive for almost four years now.
Ugandans also need an education urgently to understand that they live in a secular, and NOT religious, country. This means that religion should not, must not, be used to make national laws. Sadly, this lesson doesn’t seem to be sinking in and the Bible is constantly trawled out by fawning Ugandan Christians to justify why this and that moral code should be imposed.
Anyhow, here is that excellent excoriation of the hypocrisy, blindness and, dare one say it, ignorance of the Ugandan Christian:
The average Ugandan Christian is the most hypocritical, sadistic, evil, promiscuous, pretense-filled creature I have ever met; his/her concept of Jesus is weirdly wrapped around superstition, fear of hell, nauseating individualism, emptiness , meaningless religiosity and unusual levels of spiritual confusion.
The average Ugandan Christian is a cesspit writhing with jealousy, pettiness, sexual immorality, thievery, dogmatic heresies, selfishness and extraordinary ignorance. This piece of creation thinks that by attending religious services once a week and engaging in all manner of social filth during the other 6 days, it will earn eternal life.
Being ignorant and also spiritually illiterate, the Ugandan Christian is properly exploited by the eloquent con artist brandishing the Bible, proving that every day a Christian sucker is born in Uganda.
A Ugandan Christian thinks that s/he can bribe (tithing) God into giving him/her a BMW that will act as a tool for admiration /envy by the walking populations. A Ugandan Christian claims to know Jesus but a short discussion with him/her will prove that s/he knows Jesus as much as a hyena knows the origins of the universe.
The Ugandan Christian will joyously float in lakes of filthy wealth when his neighbor is dying of hunger; the Ugandan Christian man will have no qualms cheating on his wife 35 times a year; the Ugandan Christian will have no compunction prostituting herself to her lecturers to pass her degree; the Ugandan Christian harbors some of the most severe strands of jealousy you [will] ever come across.
The average Ugandan Christian man who spends all his fortune on alcohol to the financial detriment of his family will find no problem attending a church service. The average Ugandan Christian girl will find no problem sleeping with 140 men before she meets [the] man of her dreams and is whisked to the church for a ‘Christian’ wedding.
Christian Uganda is a religio-socio-economic filthy lake where all manners of sexual immorality, greed, individualism, corruption, alcoholism, pettiness, nudity, backbiting, jealousy and spiritual darkness find their roots and germinate, being water by the collective hypocrisy of members of this faith.
In short, Christians in Uganda have mental issues. (Kojo Cyril Ojigbani)
Amen, amen, amen.
