Seriously, FUCK this guy.
Kudos to his mother for standing by him though, I'm always inspired by straight parents who stick by their gay kids.
As for the pastor being outed, are we still surprised by this? We've seen this over and over again, the loudest homophobes are always closet-queens, or at least if they are straight they aren't totally comfortable in their sexuality. Cat's out the bag, even for the ones who haven't been caught out yet. Looking at you, Putin.

Damn, I hadn't heard that part. It doesn't surprise me, though. There are so many churches in this town, and on top of that, we're a county whose congressional seat is won every year in the Republican primary.
There just had to be at least one of these assholes floating around here.

Quote:In a letter posted on the St. John's church website, the church's senior pastor, the Rev. Daniel Kempin tells parishioners that Makela "has acknowledged that there was sin and repentance, and I have testified that there is indeed forgiveness through the same Lord who forgives all our sins."
If god so easily forgives you for liking dick, why were prattling on about how bad it is in the first place?
If God so easily forgives you for raping children or killing your spouse, why is anyone prattling on about how bad it is in the first place?
God will forgive you, so go ahead and have your fun.

[...] Because he doesn't, stupid.
Pedophilia and murder only seem morally equivalent with consensual homosexual sex, if you're a brainwashed, dishonest moron. Or perhaps - a dishonest pedophile/murderer. Which are you?

The post to which I was responding seemed to be saying, in effect:
If God forgives you so easily for homosexuality, why bother preaching against it at all? IOW, if God can forgive the homosexual, why can't the rest of us just accept it and move on?
God can and does forgive ANY sin if we ask, but that does not mean that we should take those sins lightly. We would be better off having never committed them in the first place.
THAT's why preachers prattle on against them.

Uhh, Randy, the preacher almost drove a gay teen to suicide by all the evil shit he said about homosexuality (like, if you're gay you might as well kill yourself because there's no forgiveness), and then when everybody found out he was gay himself he went all 'lord forgives all'. FNM was pointing out the hypocrisy in that.
Why would you bother preaching to atheists about what and how your god forgives? Do you really think we care?
