She told news.com.au the language used was especially hurtful as it came during a service which included a memorial for a woman who had committed suicide because she had struggled with her own sexuality.
“The priest was screaming at us [that same-sex marriage] was blasphemy. The comments were so hurtful I couldn’t stop crying,” Ms Tasiopoulos said.
Some parishioners have taken to social media to defend the priest, claiming that in Greek he said “my mouth is my gun”, however no one has disputed the priest became agitated when some people challenged him on his anti-same-sex marriage views.
She said she attended a service at the church in Clayton on Father’s Day. The service came 40 days after the death of her friend. The passing of 40 days following the death of a loved one is observed in Orthodox culture. Rather than reflecting on her friend’s life, however, Ms Tasiopoulos said the priest quickly used the service to attack same-sex marriage.
“He pointed out everyone was to vote no,” she wrote on the Greek Mums and Bubs Facebook page, a post which has since been reportedly been removed.
“Then one lady stood up and said, ‘I’ll vote yes.’ The priest (said), ‘shame on you’. She walked out, and then we all did as the girl we were there for was gay,” she wrote.
“As we walked, the priest said that all gays should be shot. He was yelling at us all standing in the rain.
“I’m so disgusted by all of this that I will never return [to] church again.”
Ms Tasiopoulos said some gay people also walked out of the church.
“A young man was in tears. I tried to console him as he had only just had the courage to come out.
“I told him God loves you, we love you, ignore him, while the priest was screaming at us that it’s blasphemy.
“I can’t fathom this much hate on Father’s Day as (the deceased woman’s) father was having to listen 40 days after he laid his only daughter to rest.”
I should mention this happened in Australia, Melbourne specifically.

The Bible clearly states homosexuality is a sin against God. Why are you even in God's house? What did you expect, that the church will suddenly decide that 2000 years of dogma suddenly changed because the media says this filth is ok now? Homosexuality should still carry a prison sentence.
Kayden Brown
The sodomite killed herself and is now in Hell for all eternity. Suicide is the ultimate selfish act and demonstrates a complete lack of faith.
The priest is correct.

True salt from the paedophile supporting poofter alphabet soup is going to be fucking delicious when the result of this bullshit non binding postal vote comes back a resounding no. People don't want their kids exposed to paedophiles and abominations against God in public school classrooms. The national anthem should bending in schools every morning like it used to be, followed by the Lord's prayer. People don't like it, pay the money to put their kids in a private school.

Exactly, we don't use the bible literally to interpret modern law. We are responsible for our own conduct and cannot blame invisible men or old books for how we behave poorly if it is in violation of rights or laws.

Luke Allen
Your open borders love everyone bullshit will be the seeds of your own demise. Hopefully when the Muslims start going nuts and throwing gays off buildings the other states will close their borders to Victoria. This is a disaster of your own creation. You need to live with it. Two hundred years of success, building a nation from the very dirt and it's thrown away by idiots who are unable to think for themselves and take every line of rubbish fed to them by media. A simple look throughout history clearly shows what happens when a nation throws away it's ethnic identity. You realise this can only end in civil war, don't you? What's your weak arse going to do when there is no communist bribed state to protect you?
Jordan Turner
I'm glad people are interested in protecting the sanctity of marriage, but the Priest crossed the line there.
But its understandable how he could be ignorant of the struggle for sexual purity.
The reason why Orthodox Priests can't understand the troubles and tribulations of sexual self-control is they never have to practice it.
They harp on and on about how gay people, single people, and others should practice chastity and self-control. Then they go home and have filthy, contraceptive sex with their wives.
Clerical celibacy is an old tradition of the Church. Being celibate meant that Priests were more spiritually prepared to deal with their flock, especially young people, and paradoxically, married people, who also need to practice a degree of chastity.
It was a mistake to throw away the old practice of clerical celibacy. You need to practice true chastity before you can understand it in its fullness.

One of the protesters, Justin Craft, was arrested on suspicion of battery, resisting an officer and interfering with a law enforcement investigation, after allegedly punching a police officer who had been attempting to confiscate a loudspeaker. Meanwhile, Patrick O’Connell, Rolando Igleasias, Cesar Chavez, Daniel Hoogerhuis, Danny Guevera, Larry Craft, Montes Diego and Gary Brown were arrested on suspicion of aggressive solicitation.

>Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Romans 1:26-27
Owen Bennett
ROMANS. We don't follow ROMAN rules anymore. So sry. Its like quoting the holy book of the Babylonians and claiming it to apply to modern law. Our modern law is vastly different from the bible. Most have moved on.

Ah okay so we can pick and choose the parts of the bible which are valid. I guess God didn't create the heavens and the earth and I can steal shit to my heart's content now. Thanks, user!
Jeremiah Taylor
No, none are valid in affecting modern law in secular countries. We do not follow Roman law anymore.
Julian Martinez
>Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. This is the only part that talks about a penalty, and it only mentions men. Lesbianism is biblicaly approved! Or at least not specifically prohibited. Scissor away girls!
William Brooks
This is not a verse about homosexual love, or being gay. This command is there with all kinds of connotations of adultery, promiscuity, and idol worship from the surrounding nations
David Flores
Thus we can see why degeneracy is so rampant globally and continues to increase.
Jonathan Turner
If you allowed gay marriage you could focus on restricting immigration. Many gays do not want to be overrun by Asians and they are the ONLY group still showing an increase in HIV rates where others are declining.
Bentley James
>yes goy, let us redefine one of the institutions which underpin society You know what happens to the degenerates and other agents of subversion after normalisation?
Have a look at Mao and Stalin's treatment of homofags.
Juan Rodriguez
Asians are a problem, true, but I've noticed you aren't complaining about the Muslims being flown in by the govt while claiming they've "stopped the boats". Abbott was the best thing to ever happen to the libs, even though his captains calls were a little out there. At least he understood the importance of maintaining our ethnic background. Turnbull, the Goldmann Sachs banker is the greatest traitor of a politician since Gillard. Perhaps the indoctrination is just too strong for you to criticise the Muslims, or perhaps you're just a troll looking to take the piss.
Michael Miller
Isn't Australia just doing a non binding referendum?
Hunter Campbell
Well as far as the gays here most have turned to voting Trump and reacting openly against trans wanting to use opposite natal sex restrooms.
I don't think most gay people feel comfortable about Muslims but you certainly aren't endearing us to evangelical Christians either.
Yes unless the courts overturn it. There is a challenge rn to the high court.
Connor Anderson
It's literally a survey. It's run by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. However, it will be used for ammo come the next federal election.
Basically, the degenerates are too busy basking in attention to realise that they're simply being used as a means for all parties to claim "progressive" points next election.
Jackson Rivera
I hope you Greeks aren't as soft as the Irish and actually fall for this sort of journalistic nonsense.

"Orthocucks" are the last true bastion of Christianity. Fag-enabling Protestants and pedo-loving Catholics GTFO
Josiah Gonzalez
Also, Evangelical Christians are less accepting of gays overall than Muslims in the United States.
James Watson
You are statistically enormously more likely to rape children. Likewise, we haven't forgotten. Don't forget it was Christians who removed the jail term for homosexuality. Exactly what have you done for us?
Camden Baker
Prove it.
Caleb Wood
Are you in jail?
Jayden Ramirez
No.
William Martinez
There you go. When Australia was a majority Christian nation, the jail term was removed. By Christian politicians, Christian judges and the will of the Christian majority population. Tasmania was the last hold out, and even then we were still a majority Christian nation. Now what exactly have you done for us?
Doesn't mean religious Christians advocated for the policy change.

hey faggot, answer me this: why are you all so hell-bent on getting into the church?
This is an institution by people, not a part of government, and yet EVERYWHERE YOU GO you demand equal treatment even in these people's places of worship. In this thread you yell that we have "moved on" and you probably throw bigot around like candy too. So what is it, you insufferable parasite?
Are you too insecure and angry at everything to live your life in peace like most gay people? Trying to start another reformation in the church because you really really really want to put your cock in someone's ass so badly you've made your whole identity based on it? Or is it the eternal victim complex that of course all of this bitching about the church is just self-defense because bigotry.
God you activist gays are annoying. In 50 years you'll be demanding churches host latex kink weddings cause we "moved on past roman times". If you're not larping ITT I hope you realize how much damage you're doing to the public acceptance. You're like a wahhabi or BLM or a screeching feminist. I wonder if when the backlash finally comes, you will still just yell bigotry while you are excluded from normal life.
Logan Peterson
>Or is it the eternal victim complex
Yes, yes it is. They don't want to solve the problem, then they won't have anything to cry about. They just want attention for their mental illness/birth defect.
Daniel Morgan
Many of those folks listed are only remembered from their quotes made by other surviving works... This Jesus myth thing seals the deal that skeptic community types are the single most irritating group on the planet. They live in logical fallacy land because humans are computers apparently. The only time a glimmer of humanity shows in them is their shitty interpretation of history from their own bias against faith in God.
Skeptic community faggots, how many antiChristian threads are you going to make? You too pagan larpers, because most of you used to be skeptic fags.
Joshua King
Noticed you didn't mention the first Australian gay couple to adopt a child. Wouldn't be because they were both sentenced to prison for pimping the child out to a global paedophile ring would it?

Taqiyya you homophile freak. Also stop speaking for all homophiles. You are a miserable creep that fights against everything but believes in nothing and would not fight for anything except when it might effect you personally. Amoral scum. People are seeing through your SJW games, and see now that there is no love in your heart. It is all lusts, impulses, attractions, and hollow affections. I see the sneaky debating games you are playing. A lot of the shit you are saying you do not even necessarily believe in, except how it pushes your agenda. Grow up and grow a pair of balls faggot.

Gays are taxpayers and therefore you cannot construe them less rights. They benefit you by working for you.
I'm not. I support civil marriage. Churches deserve the right to refuse gays marrying there so they will lose even more members.
Where does it say they were the first?

Jose Edwards
They already have civil unions. Apparently that's not good enough.

The west is dying and is being culturally, socially, and demographically gutted, and you feel that your "progress" is lighting the way of the future?

We are dying as a culture you faggot.
