Exodus International Fears Terrorist Listing For Advocating Genocide Against Gays & Lesbians

Exodus International Fears Terrorist Listing For Advocating Genocide Against Gays & Lesbians

Bad press and fear of being listed as an international terrorist organization, is forcing Exodus International, one of the primary christian ministries responsible for the genocide against Gays and Lesbians in Uganda, to backpedal on their support for the “kill the gays bill”. Exodus now claims that killing Gays and Lesbians interferes with their christian right to minister and “cure” the homosexual of their unholy perversion though the very profitable practice of conversion therapy.

Conversion therapy is the lucrative and discredited practice of changing Gays and Lesbians into straight christians. Conversion therapy has been denounced as a fraud by every accredited psychological and medical organization in America. You cannot change a persons sexual orientation. The average conversion therapy costs $22,000 netting billions over the years for christian ministries who pushed this snake oil. With the American cash cow drying up Exodus needs new fertile flocks to fleece.

Unable to pedal their fraudulent therapy in America, Exodus turned their attention to Africa hoping to win huge government contracts “converting” homosexuals to heterosexuals. To accomplish this they sent christian ministers to African countries such as Uganda to fan the flames of hate against Gays and Lesbians. These christian ministers told their congregants that homosexuals were stealing and raping their children, spreading disease, promoting bestiality in schools and offending god. The answer to the homosexual problem, Exodus said, is to convert these unnatural homos into good heterosexual christians. Of course Exodus offered this service at a very reasonable price.

The cash strapped Exodus International board of directors now fears being listed as an international terrorist organization which openly promotes killing Gays and Lesbians. Exodus is now trying to distance itself from the Ugandan genocide against Gays and Lesbian which of course Exodus started and has supported over the past year.

2. Lots of 'distancing' going on with Exodus....
But we all know all about them. Let us recall the words of 'ex gay' Obama surrogate Donnie McClurkin and other hate preachers from the 'faith community' branch of the OFA, words that call for war on gay people and accuse us of 'trying to kill children' as the reason for that war, words that depict us as vampires, inhuman creatures. They call us thieves, prostitutes, monsters and murderers, they call for violence toward us, and they were embraced and defended by many on DU when we tried to warn them of the impending horrors in Africa. What do Obama and others think 'this is war' will look when that call is taken to heart? War means what it means. Gloves are off means what it means. I say they are fully aware that those words are terrorist threats, because they are. If any other minority was the subject of words like that, there would be fury across the country.

3. The Christianistas forget that it's mainly straight parents who have gay kids...
which means homosexuality is impossible to eradicate.

7. What blew my mind was Chaz Bono's interview on Letterman.
What he said was that having a sex change does not change who you're attracted to. To me this totally eradicates the entire argument that groups like Exodus present where the idea is that you can change your orientation. Yup they're terrorists all right.

4. This is a human rights crisis
Edited on Fri Jul-22-11 11:37 AM by felix_numinous
created by fundamentalists.

These people need some serious help, this is where I wish my tax dollars would go to.

Anyone know of an organization working to save these people's lives? I am in the process of looking.

What if there was a concert or fundraiser for helping gay people find safety worldwide???? Just an idea.

I found this:

5. So their problem...
is they're afraid of losing their cash cow, and of being known as an organization that supports open genocide of gay people rather than one that merely makes gay people hate themselves so much they kill themselves? Poor misunderstood,persecuted widdle Christians. :sarcasm:
