Christian groups slam Elton John remark

Christian groups have criticised Elton John for his recent comments about Jesus.

Earlier this week, the popstar revealed that he believes Jesus was a "super-intelligent gay man".

However, The Mirror reports that leading Christian groups have now described the remarks as attention-seeking.

Stephen Green, the director of Christian Voice, branded the suggestion "rubbish" and added: "The Bible says Jesus was without sin and that rules out homosexuality. This is a desperate cry for attention."

Meanwhile, Mike Judge from the Christian Institute claimed that no-one will listen to John's remarks.

"Had a senior political figure made these comments, I would have had an opinion," he said. "But this is Elton John and I don't think anybody takes him seriously."
