Save Ireland from Sodomy!


Ezekiel 16:42-17:24

Hebrews 8:1-13

Psalm 106:13-31

Proverbs 27:7-9

Ian Paisley and his fellow Free Presbyterians used to wear T-shirts and carry banners with the rather catchy slogan, "Save Ulster from Sodomy" and they would display them in front of anywhere there might possibly be a whiff of homosexuality in Northern Ireland. Some enterprising gays even brought out a line of opposing T-shirts that read "Save Sodomy from Ulster" but what neither side in this sartorially driven argument seemed to ask was this, "What was so bad about the city of Sodom that God destroyed it?"

The answer is given in Ezekiel 16 "Sodom’s sins were pride, gluttony, and laziness, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door." If that is the Bible's definition of "Sodomy" then I think we need a new line of T-shirts made because that sounds very like the evils of modern day capitalist Ireland.

Save Ireland from Sodomy!
