Cure your gay kid by beating him!

[*censored*]

Or so says a North Carolina Baptist minister.

Maybe we could cure intolerance with a few targeted beatings instead.

This is really stupid. My bishop teaches that homosexuality is an evil spirit. That being said if I had a child who was gay beating him for being gay would not help I would give him my best example of how a man should carry himself and also pray for him.

does this mean you think he shouldn't be gay? and if he is, he is possesed?

i thought you were in support of gay marriages?

I believe that consenting adults should indeed be able to do as they please. I also believe that any law that is on the books should have a secular non religious purpose. The only reason why people are against homosexuals and gay marriage is because of religion. Yes I am infavor of legal gay marriages but I still do not believe that homosexuality is right by God and would pray that spirit off of any of my family members.

So in other words. You would REJECT who he really is, and hope he will change to suit your concept of right and wrong.

I have raised two beautiful girls. They are intelligent, confident, kind, caring, compassionate, tolerant, respectful INDIVIDUALS. One is attracted to boys, the other is attracted to girls. They both have our love, support and ACCEPTANCE. They need nothing else from us.

I would always love my kids no matter what just like you and any other parent would. I believe that homosexuality just like fornication is a sin. (Not that I never fornicated but it still is a sin). I would also believe that you feel that stealing is a sin. If you had a child that steals you would still love that child despite the fact that they steal and would do everything in your power to get them to stop.

You can hope and pray a child will stop stealing, afterall, it is a CHOICE. Being gay is NOT. To hope and pray your child changes his sexual orientation is a rejection of who that child IS. Loving a child and ACCEPTING a child are two different things. And LOVE without ACCEPTANCE isn't love at all.

We all have sinful inpulses. The sin is acting on them which would include any type of fornication weather straight or gay. There are many theories on why people are homosexual and no one really knows for a fact why people are gay. I will always love my family no matter what. I hate the sin but never the sinner.

sounds about right. Beatings are the best way to train a dog so it has to work on gays too... right. <sarcasm alert>

I'll never get the religious stance that homosexuality is wrong or evil or a sin. Although there are a lot of ideals that I just don't understand within religion so that's not really a surprise. It's baffling the amount of energy some people use up worrying about someone else's sexual preferences.
