GOP's New Prayer Guru Says Gays Possessed By Demons

[one...two...tree 2,762]

As the Rachel Maddow Show has recently showcased, on December 16th the Family Research Council sponsored a "Prayercast" event, attended by GOP luminaries including Senators Jim DeMint and Sam Brownback, and House Representatives Michelle Bachmann and Randy Forbes. But FRC head Tony Perkins did not lead the prayer event. That honor fell to Lou Engle, Founder of TheCall. Besides leading the capstone stadium rally for pro-Proposition 8, antigay marriage organizers last November 1, 2008 at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium, Lou Engle could also be found, at a special ceremony at a Virginia Beach megachurch last summer, anointing and blessing GOP presidential hopefuls Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich.

Meet the Republican Party's new spiritual guru, Lou Engle:

"My son Jesse, he's nineteen years old. God has given him dreams, to go to San Francisco to launch a house of prayer, one block from the Castro District - where the homosexuals boast the dominion of darkness. He's going there with weeping in his heart. With the dream that prayer is stronger than the dominion of that spirit.

...He said to me, "dad," he said, "as long as I'm there I don't think the Lord will judge San Francisco." [boos, angry murmur from Engle's audience]...

He's nineteen years old. He's starting to cast out homosexual spirits out of our new converts. It's scary as hell. The whole thing's scary. But fathers are to send their sons into the darkest places."

Religious fundamentalism is potentially dangerous, but I fail to see what this has to do with being a member of the GOP. The church group belonged to is the problem, not a political party.

These are not just rank and file GOP members, MC.

DeMint, Brownback. These are senior leaders amongst the party, not just minor functionaries. I can't say I'm shocked that they're in support of this kind of intolerance, but I do agree it's disturbing.

Take a WHIFF!

Somehow I doubt praying for the folks in the Castro district will do much. They aren't there for Sunday school lessons.

Rachel Maddloon? Ive realized long ago that my words nor yours will convince anyone of anything. Putting music in ones ears may have an effect though.

yeah, to put this under the GOP umbrella is just dumb.

funny how steven wants republicans to be less partisan, however few in these united states could be more partisan than steven himself.

no offense steven, just call them as i see them.

Sadly they are possessed by their own stupidity thinking that being gay is ok and nothing is wrong with them. They are only kidding themselves, one day they will answer for their poor judgement before a higher power than any culture or society here on Earth.

They just need a hot Ukranian woman like you to cure them, my cupcake. Will you help cure them? You'd be acting on behalf of a higher power.
