What's your view on the "Jesus was gay" comments made in the February 2010 edition of Parade Magazine by Elton John?

Elton John was quoted as saying
"I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East—you're as good as dead."

Everyone's entitled to their own beliefs, even Elton John. He's not the first person to say that Jesus was gay. Did everyone forget the controversy over the play "Corpus Christi" where Jesus was portrayed as gay?

I think its more important to use this as a time to ask myself: do I think Jesus was straight? The Bible doesn't speak of Jesus' sex life, its generally assumed that he didn't have one. So how can we make an assumption either way?

The only assumption that I am willing to make is that he was not asexual. He had human desires.

To me, it's just another one of those inane comments celebrities make to stir up controversy and keep their names in the news.

One of the reasons the outlandish Christian religion persists is that people project their own idealized characteristics on its prophet. So he's black for blacks, gay for gays etc. Christian women do the same for Mary.

Also note, one can safely be a gay woman or man in Israel.
