MP attacks evangelical Christians in public office
from the Christian Institute:
Two female evangelical politicians have been attacked for their views on sexual ethics by an SNP Member of Parliament.
John Nicolson MP branded MSP Kate Forbes a ‘sex obsessed religious fundamentalist’ and dismissed backbencher Miriam Cates’ recent sex ed exposé as “nonsense”, before saying: “That MP is a [sic] evangelical Christian.”
Nicolson, who describes himself as a homosexual “in a long-term relationship”, spotlighted the Christian convictions of Forbes and Cates while speaking on BBC Two’s Politics Live last week.
Fixated
Asked to comment on Forbes’ beliefs about marriage, he responded: “I’m perfectly happy for Kate Forbes to believe whatever she likes.”
He added: “If Kate Forbes doesn’t want to be in a same-sex relationship, then Kate Forbes should not go into a same-sex relationship. But she shouldn’t tell me what relationship I can or cannot enter into.”
The MP for Ochil and South Perthshire also said: “The thing I don’t get about these religious fundamentalists is, why are they all so obsessed with sex.”
“The Bible tells us that we can’t wear mixed fabrics or eat shellfish as well, they don’t worry about that, but it’s sex that seems to fixate them.”
