Ok well I had no idea that she had tried to kill herself
so apologies for any offence caused, but as someone who suffers from a range of psychiatric problems including severe depression I get a bit peed off with people who behave in all sorts of unacceptable ways and then blame it on mental health issues.
Severe depression does not prevent you knowing right from wrong

The so called suicide was completely orchestrated, the day after her husband was laughing in joking in Stormont, not only that but he didn't even wait on the GP or Ambulance to come after the 'attempted suicide'. Hardly the actions of a man who was worried about the health of his wife.

Also, before anyone says 'poor woman' I seriously suggest you do a bit of research on Mrs Robinson. She was to the gay community what Hitler was to the Jews.

She's under 'acute psychiatric care' according to her husband yesterday, whatever that actually means in this case.  Could be just stress management or perhaps a crisis of self-image now that her moral hypocrisy has been made so public.  The attempted suicide was self-reported when all this came out and allegedly happened a couple of years ago.  That could easily be a play for sympathy by a cynical politican.  Or her 'severe depression' could be genuine.  Who really knows.  I cannae really be arsed myself, as I'm (in her words) an abomination, my orientation in practice being morally worse than child abuse, and we're candidates for therapy to get our sexual orientation back to normal.

In fact, here's some of her words: "There can be no viler act, apart from homosexuality and sodomy, than sexually abusing innocent children." and "Can you think of anything more vile than man and man or woman and woman and sexually abusing children?" and "I cannot think of anything more sickening than a child being abused. It is comparable to the act of homosexuality. I think they are all comparable. I feel totally repulsed by both." and "[homosexuality is] disgusting, loathsome, nauseating, wicked and vile.", all based on her Christianity.

When she's done with her acute psychiatric treatment, I expect she'll treat us to her thoughts on her indulging in adultery, alleged financial shenanigans and alleged abusing of her public office, and how all that chimes with her strident Christianity.

I am amazed

That is repulsive.

I am a Christian and that sure doesn't sound like a Christian view to me

Well, it's a Christian view but not the only one.  I've come across a number of vicars who have views, based on their interpretation of the bible, that it's an abomination.  In fact, one of my local vicars used to write into the local paper saying the we homosexuals and the local muslims would burn in hell unless we repent of our sin and turn to Christ.  He took a literal reading of the relevant passages in Genesis, Leviticus, Corinthians, and Romans, bless him, together with an implied naturalistic philosophy of design.  I imagine Iris Robinson has done the same.

Well it's a view I have heard bandied about every now and then but certainly not one that I or any other Christian I know holds

As far as I know my Rev holds no such view but if he did I would be very disappointed.

What she said is sickening no matter what religion you are or follow.

Your local vicar was only saying what he believed would happen, by the sounds of it not what he wanted to happen.
Ha.  No, I'd be a tad more sympathetic if that was the extent of it.  No, he'd be manning the bellows and throwing on bundles of wood if he could.  To be fair, the guy's a bit of a nutter.  He's convinced the local villages are full of witch covens.  When the Kegworth air disaster happened, he wrote in saying that it was the witches who did it as he'd seen dead crows hanging from trees near the flight path.  He reserves special hatred for homosexuals and has a certain glee underlying what he writes in the hope of our suffering after the Day of Judgement.  I see that quite a lot in local papers and on newspaper on-line comments sections.  It's ironic really, as it ought to be quite contrary to the core Christian message.

We're quite blessed in my area.  The woman in the first story here is of like mind to the vicar.  She used to write in to the local papers too about gay people.  She was convinced we're naturally inclined to promiscuity and that this was a bad thing but she was also dead against gay marriage, which seems a bit contradictory to me.  She also thought we were naturally inclined to paedophilia too, which was nice.

Slightly bizarrely, she was an avid fan of Michael Jackson and spent time in jail for harassing Jordy Chandler's family around the time of MJ's trial.  She's also one of those Christians who have an interest in the BNP and its Christian affiliations.
