WHERE ARE WE GOING TO AS A NATION?

The challenge is on that people are challenging GOD and the way things are happening these days, you will be surprised as to the moral fibre that is there in this world. When one reads through these stories you'll find that it is married men with families who sleeps with boys just as the AWB leader who lived a double life as a men and gay at the same time, one is not shocked at what is happening as we have these practices continuing because the constitution has given people rights to choose. "The girlfriend of Durban tycoon Nhlanhla Gasa’s alleged killer says she is “shocked” to hear the father of her one-year-old child lived a secret life as another man’s lover" City Press's story of Was Gasa slain for sex? It is such men who are confusing this world and the number seem to be very high (especially those in powerful positions), one has the right to choose who he/she wants to sleep with, but the challenge is when you find powerful people using money to convert poor boys to be stabanes or gays when there are so many challenges that face the world. It is time that GOD sends the fire like He did with Sodom and Gomorrah happened to those who have continued with such practices, in the book "History of South Africa and ANC 20 years later" Falco argues that AIDS is mostly promoted by this practice of same sex, he questions what is the sickness that you (as men) get when you sleep with men who sleep with another men who has contracted STD from some women? You (as that man) sleep with your wife /girl friend who then sleeps with another men who has side sexual partners at the side, then AIDS come into the picture. While growing up there was a crime called sodomy, there was also a crime called besuality and which today are no longer criminal acts but are called Human Rights, I think we're testing GODs patience by these actions and would also share the same sentiment that this is some sickness that the nation has to have a dialog about.

The word Sodomy from Wikipedia explains it as: -(/ˈsɒdəmi/) is any non-penile/vaginal copulation-like act, such as oral or anal sex, or sex between a person and an animal.[1] The word is derived from the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in chapters 18 and 19 of the Book of Genesis in the Bible.[1] So-called "sodomy laws" in many countries criminalized not only these behaviors, but other disfavored sexual activities as well, but in the Western world, many of these laws have been overturned, or are not routinely enforced. The Jewish historian Josephus used the term “Sodomites” in summarizing the Genesis narrative: “About this time the Sodomites grew proud, on account of their riches and great wealth; they became unjust towards men, and impious towards God, in so much that they did not call to mind the advantages they received from him: they hated strangers, and abused themselves with Sodomitical practices” "Now when the Sodomites saw the young men to be of beautiful countenances, and this to an extraordinary degree, and that they took up their lodgings with Lot, they resolved themselves to enjoy these beautiful boys by force and violence; and when Lot exhorted them to sobriety, and not to offer any thing immodest to the strangers, but to have regard to their lodging in his house; and promised that if their inclinations could not be governed, he would expose his daughters to their lust, instead of these strangers; neither thus were they made ashamed." (Antiquities 1.11.1,3[18] — circa AD 96). His assessment goes beyond the Biblical data, though it is seen by conservatives as defining what manner of fornication (Jude 1:7) Sodom was given to.

The next generation will be really lost if we continue with these practices and pretend that things are perfect, while there is a problem at hand. Does this Act 108, called the Constitution of South Africa really serve the interests of South Africa if it has created the kind of South Africa we have today? Is this the South Africa that was envisaged by those leaders who have securitised their lives for? Should we accept things through our throats even if we do not seem to accept or like them, should I be forced to eat pork even if I do not want to eat it? Should I allow my children to be exposed of such practices when I was never exposed to such practice? Should I be forced to go and attend gay classes (to learn more about this culture) even if I am not interested to learn about gays or lesbians so as I can accept this lifestyle since I am coming from the backward culture of Africanism? Were we prepared for this lifestyle when we were fighting apartheid, is there any induction that is there for communities to prepare themselves on these lifestyle behaviours? These are some of the questions I would like to be educated about so as I can also accept some of these challenges that we face as communities.

In one of them good cold days we were discussing about the choses that our children make these days, and one of them was about what will you say if your child chose to be gay or lesbian? It started with that most of us learnt about music at home, your parents would play music that later made us to choose the kind of music that we are now playing as parents. Does this have an impact on the way our children make choices in the way they live their lives? Does the kind of music that we play as parents have an impact on our children? In trying to answer this, we agreed to disagree as some of us believed that yes, the kind of music that we play has an impact on our children as it did to us. If you play classic music you child’s choice in music will be more of going the classical kind of music. We also agreed that since now there is music played on radios, television, mp3 and mp4, these impacts on the children kind of music that they play and you as a parent have no way of influencing your child on these decisions. As we accepted the way the argument was flowing, the question that was posed was, what will you do if you son asks you that a friend will be sleeping over during the week end, you then accept. In the middle of the night you wake up to get some water from the kitchen and when you pass you son’s bedroom you here some noise and you can feel that it’s your son’s voice making those sounds. You think that your son is in some trouble, then you enter……only to find that the friend is busy with your son…. Penetrating him at the back on the chocolate box, what will you do? What will your report be when you go back to your wife? Others said they would kill both the son and the friend, others said they would chase them away there on the spot, no one agreed that they would accept the choice that the son has made as they would have accepted the choice on music. These are some of the realities that we face a society, and that we were not prepared for these challenges, what happens if you grew up following religious norms that do not follow this type of lifestyle? Please educate me as to what must happen when my son has made the choice that I do not approve of, should I chase him away or should I go for counselling and learn to accept reality?
