The second article that labels gays as SAD (sodomy attraction disorder) is provocative and unproductive as well as unredemptive. Some of these guys are obsessed with homosexuality and yet attend a church permeated with praylessness and pride. (just a guess based upon my subjective observation of MOST American churches, even ones that are “for truth”) Many meet in buildings whose mortgage payment interest goes to help gay causes.

The whole thing is just sad (and I mean sad as depressing!)

But Peter’s at it again, and it’s worse than usual.

In the first link, Peter proclaims that gay people can’t have Christ.

In the second link, some guest “writer” classifies gay people as having a disease called “SADism,” and conflates gay people with SERIAL KILLERS.

i would propose that for every person you all show the love of Christ to, Peter slams the door on five. it would be different if you all and he weren’t supposedly on the same team.

(for the record, i don’t believe that you are.)

“Before you urge Joe to find your same “peace”, you should look how you come across to people. You seem like the “peace-less” one.”

That is an interesting observation. Peter’s rants do seem to be a case of “Me thinks he doth protest too much.” The quote is from Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’.

what’s his name…Richard Cohen? i think so. his appearance on The Daily Show tells the entire story.

However, NARTH has less than 1000 members. What that means is less than 1/4 of one percent of mental health professionals belong to NARTH. NARTH has not been able to convince the vast majority of mental health professionals that ‘reparative therapy’ works. In fact, the APA considers ‘reparative therapy’ to be of questionable value, and possibly dangerous to the mental health of the subjects.

An example,of ‘reparative therapy’ going horribly wrong, is the incident of the shooter at the New Life Church in Colorado. The individual was involved in ‘reparative therapy’, but it failed (like it does in the vast majority of cases). The practitioners convinced the individual he was evil and going to Hell, because he was bisexual. So, he went berserk, killing innocent people.

Of course, the killing was wrong. However, the practitioners, of ‘reparative therapy’, were also at fault. Why? They put the shooter in the position of having no hope, feeling all was lost, and in a rage born of total despair.

and yeah, it doesn’t seem like “peace” to devote one’s life and livelihood to marginalizing a minority in the name of one’s ideals.

Man, I sure wasn’t paying attention in American history.

“Joe, that’s just it: I don’t want a Christ-less peace. I hope you find Christ, because that is true peace, eternal peace. You’re rebelling against God; it’s a false peace you promote.”

Peter you certainly don’t seem like you have found peace! Reading all of these posts, it seems that you really drive people away from you, even Christians. If your purpose is to get people saved, this is a terrible way to go about it. Why would anyone want to listen to you? You seem to purposely alienate yourself from others and I guess I cannot understand this behavior. Why are you targeting gay people? Why won’t you allow others to understand what is driving this behavior? Can you allow others to see into your mind so we can “get” you.

Before you urge Joe to find your same “peace”, you should look how you come across to people. You seem like the “peace-less” one.

and the blog entry, of course, about my lil’ hometown.

(if “my lil’ hometown” sounds endearing, you should know i’m rolling my eyes as i type…)

yeah. i found out about all that stuff from the past weekend far, far too late, but i’ve seen Peterson speak before.
