Elton John: 'I would ban religion completely' POSTED: 8:59 a.m. EST, November 13, 2006 LONDON, England (AP) -- Organized religion fuels anti-gay discrimination and other forms of bias, pop star Elton John said in an interview published Saturday. "I think religion has always tried to turn hatred toward gay people," John said in the Observer newspaper's Music Monthly Magazine. "Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays." "But there are so many people I know who are gay and love their religion," he said. "From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate." John also criticized religious leaders for failing to do anything about conflicts around the world. "Why aren't they having a conclave? Why aren't they coming together?" John said those in his own field have been similarly lax. "It's like the peace movement in the '60s. Musicians got through to people by getting out there and doing peace concerts, but we don't seem to do them any more," he said. "If John Lennon were alive today, he'd be leading it with a vengeance."

Guest stevej Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The problem with this and so many other responses from the music, hollywood and celebrity folks, is that because they prefer to live in their own morality and not God's, their opinion on issues of morality is frayed. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but how it lines up with God's Word is what we all should examine. If it doesn't line up..do with it what you do with garbage..throw it out!

This is just a publicity stunt to try to get people to remember who he is /was best to just ignor it and pray for his salvation as we would for anyones ( I hope ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lesbian/gay community has God to blame for their discontent, not Christians. We didn't make the rules...we just follow them. The Jews have every right to feel animosity towards the Nazi's given their treatment by them. Your comparison is ridiculous. I don't remember any compassion being shown by the Third Reich? At least we attempt to have compassion for these societal deviants. J.M.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
