Meta-Homophobia? Christian Rightist says being gay is caused by gay demons that other demons hate

[ck4829]

And those demons are also smelly too.

Bert Farias, founder of Holy Fire Ministries, had a piece published on Charisma Magazine's website today in which he begged gay people to "please do not get upset with me" for trying to tell them "the raw, naked truth about homosexuality," promising that if they will just listen to him, they "will see that I am actually trying to help you."

And Farias' message of love is that "being gay is a choice" and choosing to be gay puts one at risk of engaging in "unclean practices that open up a person to the demonic."

And once that happens, gays become possessed by stinky demons that even pigs won't tolerate:

Here's the raw, naked truth: Homosexuality is actually a demon spirit. It is such a putrid smelling demon that other demons don't even like to hang around it. A genuine prophet of God told me that the Lord allowed him to smell this demon spirit, and he got sick to his stomach. And yet as humans, many embrace this demon. Yes, you heard me right. Being gay is demonic.

Being gay is demonic? My God, nobody has ever made that argument before, right?

1. "A genuine prophet of God told me..."

Do they not see their own lunacy? If I walked up to this screwball and said that I as a genuine, bonafide, real deal prophet...would he believe me? I could get him to believe all kinds of crap.

2. Well gosh,

a "genuine prophet of god" can't say it if it isn't true.





IS there a Microsoft certification for "Genuine prophet..."? Unintel inside?

3. The Farva of demons?

4. Who is this "genuine prophet of God"?

Curious minds want to know....

I can tell Bert that God herself told me yesterday that Bert is full of it and should be ignored. She told me that his ministries were of the devil and that he and his spawn will perish in a pigpen.

So there..... My God trumps your prophet.

5. Why do so many christians spend all their time thinking about gay sex?

I try not to worry about what anybody else does in their free time unless it would have some bearing on me.

My neighbors' sex lives don't bother me at all. Nor do I care what they have for dinner or watch on tv.

19. They do seem to be absolutely obsessed with it.

7. Well my eyes do turn red when I read shit like this. Does that count as being demonic?

[TeeYiYi]

9. There's bad...

...and then there's badder. Plus, some demons are bigoted and some of them are the non-bigoted variety.

Try to keep up!

8. That wasn't a demon the prophet was smelling...

He just had his head too far up his own ass.

10. OMG, all these self-loathing closet cases drive me nuts. nt

12. Wait till Juiblex hears about this!

"Yumm...arrogant evangelicals taste the best!"

[TeeYiYi]

14. Is Juiblex a homophobe?...

Is he bad?...or is he of the 'badder' variety of red eyed scary looking thing? There are levels, you know...

Not picky about rancid evangelical flavors, I'm guessing.

16. Not really a he...more of an It...watched the Abyss form and knows all it's secrets

has no gender or obvious motive, but does LOVE to eat arrogant creatures that pretend to be pious. Call it a sweet tooth...but it doesn't have any teeth...

20. Everyone knows...

...that cats are girls and dogs are boys; and, that witches are girls and demons are boys.

It's just how it is...

[Rex]

21. Okay then, what are horses?

And do demons have their own inner-demons?

[TeeYiYi]

22. Horses are boys...

...and clearly, demons have inner demons (on a sliding scale) according to the OP.

13. It is the exact argument the Pope makes.

He says gay people are demonically influenced to assist Satan in his 'machinations' against God's plan, Francis, who is very popular on DU with the Straight Folks, says fighting LGBT rights is 'God's war' and urges all his followers to fight. He says we are under the influence of The Father of Lies.

15. "Schizophrenia is a mental disorder often characterized by...failure to recognize what is real."

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder often characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to recognize what is real. Common symptoms include false beliefs, unclear or confused thinking, auditory hallucinations, reduced social engagement and emotional expression, and inactivity. Diagnosis is based on observed behavior and the person's reported experiences.

17. Hmm like these?

18. Just my opinion, the reasons Christians preach forgiveness

is so that they may receive it. They say everyone must forgive, but it is they who most need the forgiveness, they're essentially projecting. They can't even see the activities for which they need forgiveness when they're doing them. I'm particularly thinking of the Louisiana prison warden, a Christian rehabilitator named Cain, who loves the rehabilitative effects of long-term solitary confinement.

In this case, better hope the preacher thinks you smell good, if you smell like a "demon," you must be gay. Wonder what he thinks of homeless folks who haven't showered in some longish time? Or a laborer after a day of hard work? Must all be gay? In his church, only the right smelling people are allowed.
