Christian leaders comprising the Liberian Council of Churches, which includes Catholic Archbishop Lewis Zeigler of Monrovia, recently declared that Ebola is a punishment from God for the act of homosexuality.
The Archbishop declared, “That God is angry with Liberia, and that Ebola is a plague. Liberians have to pray and seek God’s forgiveness over the corruption and immoral acts (such as homosexualism, etc.) that continue to penetrate our society. As Christians, we must repent and seek God’s forgiveness.”
He had previously stated, “One of the major transgressions against God for which He may be punishing Liberia is the act of homosexuality.”
Christians in that country are now asking for the death penalty for Gay people, and have increased their violence toward them.
Now those of us in the enlightened Western World might be tempted to dismiss this on the basis that Africa, which, by the way, is not a single country, and as a continent is not the size of the six New England states, but much, much bigger, is primitive and heavily influenced by superstitions that would see a medical problem as a supernatural event.
But it wasn’t all that long ago, 30 years to be precise, that in hind sight we would have to accept that the United State was just as primitive and superstitious.

Having been struck by memories of those times 30 years ago, I did some checking to see if it were true that Ronnie Reagan had not spoken about AIDS until 1987, his 7th year as president, because I knew there was a difference of opinion on that point.
In looking up what Ronnie Reagan had said about AIDS and how early in his tenure as president he had said it, I saw that he had not only said something in 1985 when his friend, Rock Hudson, had died, but that he had even made a statement in the White House as early as 1983.
But in the research I found there was another dispute about the veracity of the line in the CBS made for TV movie in which Mr. Barbra Streisand had spoken the line as Reagan that he was supposed to have uttered then, “Those who live in sin shall die in sin.”
The only proof in defense of Reagan that this was an unfair and a purposeful misquote to make him look bad are the words that his supporters insist was what he had actually said,
“Maybe the Lord brought down this plague…because illicit sex is against the Ten Commandments.”
How primitively African of him.
