Secular Talk- Evangelical: Gays 'Rent' Boys For 'Price Of A Bicycle'

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Evangelical crusader Scott Lively, who is credited with inspiring anti-gay legislation in both Uganda and Russia, was interviewed last week on National Public Radio's "Tell Me More" program by host Michel Martin to discuss Uganda's harsh new statute outlawing homosexuality. The interview, which lasted over 10 minutes, included the usual doses of Lively's incendiary rhetoric, including his assertion that "sodomy is not a human right."

1. Bicycles are expensive....perhaps he needs to shop around more....?

Oh, wait....he's ACCUSING, not comparing prices!!!

That was some very heavy for the irony-impaired....

This "crusader" (interesting choice of words) is a reprehensible asshole, but NPR has been co-opted for years so it really isn't surprising that they gave him the platform. Bush seeded the place with a boatload of jerks; it'll take years to get 'em out of there.

I agree with this kid that the interview wasn't fact checked or rebutted.

2. Oh, I bet anti-gay activist George Reker paid a lot more than that for his rentboy/luggage handler.

3. It's so weird how freaks like this guy are totally obsessed with homosexuality.

Sicko!

And yet he's treated like he's credible!?!

4. So he's equating...

pedophilia with being gay... the two are far from being the same.

5. Is that more or less....

.... than what heteros rent girls for?

6. Some Evangelicals were angry

when they realized they'd been overcharged all this time...

7. This is the same idiot...

Who co-wrote "The Pink Swastika," that uses revisionist "history" to blame gays for Nazi Germany and the Holocaust.

8. Sounds awfully familiar with the concept. Is he a hands on researcher?

9. And how much did Bishop Eddie Long pay for boys?
