ReligiousAssassination: Pakistan: Schools close for a day honouring Christian in cabinet, Shabaz Bhatti, RIP

Bangalore, India (ENInews) -- Christian schools and colleges across Pakistan on 3 March began shutting down for three days to protest the 2 March assassination in Islamabad of Shahbaz Bhatti, a Roman Catholic who was Minister for Religious Minorities, according toEcumenical News International (WCC).

The event echoes what the later-sainted Paul did to St Stephen.  St Paul preached up the stoning of the first Christian martyr in Paul's act of religious assassination that is ignored when Christian ethicists discuss the homophobic passage in Romans chapter 1, which supplies the basis of homophobia among most Christians, a chapter in an epistle written by the same religious fanatic who earlier resorted to religious murder if the Book of Acts, by St Luke, is true and correct.  Paul's action, when he was still called Saul (of Tarsus), was not a result of his Judaism as such (but it brawt Judaism and Jews into disrepute); rather the religious assassination occurred in the first place becawz Paul had a psychic disorder of murderous rage that shows up again in the Romans 1 passage mentioned.  But you don't see any Christian schools, colleges, or churches shutting down to commiserate with St Stephen and today's homos vilified by the otherwise good St Paul.  The Pope of Rome coud initiate such an observance.  Shabaz Bhatti was a Roman Catholic.


I find the discussion of Stephen that we find in the the Book of Acts,  a discussion I cite from a Roman Catholic source, is horribly inadequate and erroneous in some points as they are understood in Protestant scholarship.
