Just read a little further in your link:
The Indo-european and Vedic influences on the religious beliefs of the Gaels came after the term "Druid" was already in use.
That doesn't make any sense though. Why agree to do it in the first place if homosexuality is the issue?
And, even that is the issue it still doesn't make any sense. I certainly hope that church won't be having a funeral for anyone else who sins on a regular basis.
The message is the exact opposite of the face-value of the lyrics. They are criticizing all of the examples in the song, and the fact that people seem to have no problem being small-minded, bigoted, and selfish, and they can walk over and kill other people, and destroy the earth because no one...
Why did god spare the fish?
There must be a ton of evil fish swimming about. And, evil ducks, swans and other swimming birds.
How come only land animals were destroyed, and not sea creatures?
But, the video isn't promoting that attitude as a good thing, it's criticizing it.
I think you were too frightened by the video to actually understand its message.
It's pretty unclear exactly why they changed their minds. Some people are saying it's because the video was inappropriate (though there's no word on how exactly), and others are saying it's something else.

I'm not asking the church to accept anything. They should have been more careful to figure out what was involved before they said yes. Most of what I read said that the church knew the deceased was gay before they agreed to do the funeral. So, the issue is mainly that they went back on their...
So, if someone was an alcoholic, or addicted to gambling, if a church were to hold a funeral they would treat the family the same way if they wanted to show pictures of the deceased at a bar with friends, or on vacation in Las Vegas, right? After all, that would be celebrating their sinful...
Do any of the articles actually come out and say what was in the video that was construed as "celebrating the gay lifestyle"?
As I understand it, the actual act of homosexual sex is a sin, not being a homosexual. So, did the video contain pictures of the deceased and his partner having...
I'm a little confused. Do the Muslims here believe that these sorts of things don't happen and are just stories made up by people who have a grudge against Islam, or do you believe that it is happening but is un-Islamic? I agree with Hope that to deny that things like this happen would be to...
