There's no "dialogue" to be had with someone like this, so other than saying here's hoping a train hits him, or his inevitable mistress gets exposed and he rots in Hell as you suggest, what else is there to say?

Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal? Adams HE, Wright LW Jr, Lohr BA. Source Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens 30602-3013, USA. Abstract The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies. PMID: 8772014 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Originally Posted By mawnck From a Lutheran pastor in NC: >>God sheds rivers of tears for the self-deluded who claim his calling and parade as his "ministers" in the xenophobic assemblies with "church" in their names accross this state; and especially for those whose hearts they poison. They ignore the best in Holy Scripture, the words and works and salvific act of Jesus, and preach the worst, the fabricated diatribes of ancient self-called "prophets" and ..."priests" who saw God as a jealous punisher rather than a loving father and corrupted the Scriptures with their lies. Did Jesus never come? Did he never teach? Is he unknown to so many who call themselves by his Name? Or do they simply choose to ignore him when he opposes their politics, economics, social exclusivity, and hate for people different from themselves. Well, in Proverbs 6:16-19 we read: "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes ("I'm more correct about God than you are"), a lying tongue ("I know God said it and that settles it!"), and hands that shed innocent blood ("Just kill ALL the Muslims and Gays!"), a heart that devises wicked plans ("Let's put all the queers and lesbians behind electric fences and let them die..."), feet that hurry to run to evil ("We'll be there to support Pastor Worley"), a lying witness who testifies falsely ("I sware I wouldn't vote for a baby-killer!"), and one who sows discord in a family (The Lutheran family? The Christian family? The human family? I think so.)" Lord, forgive them... they haven't a clue as to what they are doing to themselves, this state, the Church, to YOU!<<
Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 Wonderful! I am Lutheran, and that is pretty on par with what my pastor had to say about Pastor Worely too. I hope more pastors, of all denominations, speak out against preaching such hateful things in God's name.

It took me a long time to understand why Christians have such a bad rep in the real world ( as opposed to at my Lutheran high school) but nut jobs like this help answer that question.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Part of the problem, IMO, is the biblical passage that states that the world will be against you if you are a Christian. It's almost like some churches and individuals are trying to be controversial, "see the world is against me, I must be righteous".
