Elton John causes some controversy

Elton John has angered a lot of web surfers by telling an online interviewer how he thinks Jesus Christ was gay, reports Starpulse.

The singer has received lots of protest from outraged bloggers about comments he made to Parade.com: "I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems."

This remark has led to a lot of negative criticism.

One blogger says, "I will never listen to this man’s music again. How dare he speak of my Lord in such a disgraceful way. He should not speak on things he knows nothing about. I hope and pray that all Christians will take a stand on this one. Elton John’s lifestyle speaks for itself."

Another writes, "John is now the authority on Christ? Jesus Christ was as gay as Saddam Hussein is alive."

One outraged Christian states, "While I have had some appreciation for Elton John’s music…he could not be further from the truth on this matter regarding Jesus. It is clearly stated in Leviticus 18:22, 23; that Christ sees homosexuality as an abomination."

Singer Elton John married his boyfriend David Furnish in 2005.
