Thursday, May 03, 2012 12:15:57 AM I seriously doubt very many people really study the New Testament, whether they're atheists or Christians or people of other religions. It's such an interesting set of writings filled with incredibly beautiful things. It amazes me "pastors" like this exist. |

Actually, this is nothing new. The idea of "beating the devil out of him" is a time honored tradition. Which is why I question all traditions. Some just need to go away. |

Wednesday, May 02, 2012 7:25:48 PM I don't know what was worse, the pastor encouraging his congregation to physically abuse their children, or the shouts of agreement from the congregation itself. I feel sorry for each an every one of their children. I know what it's like to be beat by a parent, how it makes you feel, the hurt and the anger, the hopelessness. It poisons your brain, and plants hatred in your heart. This is how they want their kids to grow up? |

Wednesday, May 02, 2012 7:07:58 PM In Jesus' time, the Samaritans were much more despised by Jewish society than gay people are in today's society. When Jesus taught people to love your neighbor as yourself, he used the Samaritan as the example of who that neighbor is. I'm not really sure if there is an extreme enough parallel for this from contemporary society. In other words, whatever this asshat "preacher" is trying to preach, it doesn't even come close to basic Christianity. Yeah, I know this is a troll post, trying to ignite a multi-sided flame war (gays and atheists vs christians), and feeding the trolls is never the right move, but, this is so ridiculously lunatic-fringe, well..... |

Wednesday, May 02, 2012 2:18:57 PM "Did I see you limping your wrist and acting as a female, son?" "But daddy, I was making fun of the boy at school who has no friends. Everybody makes fun of him!" "Now son, what does the bible tell us about this kind of ridicule? We shouldn't do things just because everyone is doing it. Now go apologize for your behavior. And be sure to beat the gay out of him afterwards." |

Wednesday, May 02, 2012 9:37:53 AM Ok, I actually listened to it. I don't get any repressed gay vibe from him - he's just an ass. Can you imagine how horrible a gay kid in his audience felt after hearing that? Imagine the horrific lectures on how wrong being gay is. I know this is the extreme but don't tell me religion does not play a part in gay teen suicide. If you have no safe place at school, home or church what is left to live for? |

Wednesday, May 02, 2012 9:29:59 AM Classic case of projecting. And quite a bit of reaction formation. |
