The Conservatives have a quote from a speech by Iris Robinson, upholder of God's law, made in the House of Commons on the topic of sex offenders.

There can be no viler act, apart from homosexuality and sodomy, than sexually abusing innocent children.

Homosexuality is "viler" than paedophilia? The physical act of sodomy is perhaps not something I would care to picture while at the dinner table, and I can accept that Iris may not be happy about practices that contradict her religion, but when you make statements like that is it any wonder that "these days Christians are persecuted for their views" (especially when you're trying to force your views on others).

(And "persecuted"? Really?!)

Update: On today's TalkBack Iris claims "I clearly intended to say that child abuse was worse even than homosexuality and sodomy." where David Dunseith had claimed that Iris's original comment was her "voicing opinions probably shared by a fair proportion of the Northern Ireland population, if not the majority." Jesus wept!
