Nooooooooo. Really?
Okay, sit down because I know this is going to shock you.
The guy who had that whole Pray Away The Gay thing? John Paulk, who used to be the chairman of Exodus, a group that helped you stopped being gay by praying – well, turns out, he’s gay forever and ever.
“For the better part of 10 years, I was an advocate and spokesman for what’s known as the ‘ex-gay movement,’ where we declared that sexual orientation could be changed through a close-knit relationship with God, intensive therapy and strong determination,” Paulk said. “At the time, I truly believed that it would happen. And while many things in my life did change as a Christian, my sexual orientation did not.”
He added: “Today, I do not consider myself ‘ex-gay,’ and I no longer support or promote the movement. Please allow me to be clear: I do not believe that reparative therapy changes sexual orientation; in fact, it does great harm to many people.”
John, I suspect there is no danger in me being the first to say I told you so. I’ll just take a number and stand in line.
Until people realize that fundamental Christians will feed your butt to the lions just to entertain themselves, much harm will continue to be done in the name of Sweet Jesus.
Gay is not something that was invented to piss off God. I could pray all day everyday not to be short but that ain’t gonna work either.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
If we are all made in the likeness of God, then …..
God made LGBT the way they are.
But of course these so called ‘christians’ refuse to accept science and cling to words that were written over 2 thousands years ago. Since of course, Christ said nothing about LGBT.
Why can’t we just all get along? That is my prayer.
1Oh and about those 25 extra pounds.I am carrying around…….
Oh Noes…..
You can’t pray away “the short”?
I just knew I was going to wake up some morning, and be at least 5’6″.
Totally off topic, but totally pissing me off. I know you stick to local stuff. But….an article in this morning’s Washington Post tells us that along with our troop withdrawal from Afghanistan…. we are going to have to lay waste to about $7Billion in military hardware, equipment, and stuff. We can’t leave it. Can’t ship it home, so we are going to totally scrap it all. How many folks do you think we could feed with that kind of money?
And, I swear…. the next Member of Congress that utters the word “deficit” should have his/her mouth washed out with soap.
I may not grow taller. But I swear my blood pressure shot up several points when I read that. What an outrageous waste.
And, the gay guy probably has known all along who and what he is. It’s not easy to come to terms with, and denial for as long as you can, seems to be step one. Although I have to admit trying to pray away your sexual orientation would not have been my choice for step two. Trying to sell the idea to other people certainly wouldn’t have been step three. Glad he finally came to terms with all this. Could not have been easy, but he will have a lot more peace of mind.
Thing is. God still loves him…. just the way he is.
What the lady will do…… should be interesting.
2Fundamental Christians won’t feed your butt to the lions just to entertain themselves. They also get to feel self-righteous and superior. And there is often money to be made.
3Not only are we short, JJ, we are starting to shrink. Maybe we could pray we don’t notice?
4Well, well. Now that we’ve passed that dead horse on the road, just think of all the time Exodus will have to devote to Jesus’ teachings.
Watch your wallets, folks.
5So, is he going to give back all the money he made being the ex-gay poster child?
Oh, and…Marcus Bachmann?
Your table is ready.
6With Exodus shutting down, this guy coming out, and Senator Lisa Murkowski supporting gay marriage, this is shaping up as a very bad week for the haters. Let me be the first to say it: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
7Even Noah’s ark must have had a gay passenger onboard, as after the flood God displayed a rainbow as a sign:
8And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
Guess the folks at Westboro Baptist Church are having a bad day, what with all those rainbows and ex-gays going back. Maybe Marcus will take his seat at the table after Michelle is done with whatever it was she did.
9We can only hope.
If these folk have arrived at this epiphany, I’ll not condemn their them for their past shortcomings. Agape.
