Author to Focus on the Family: "The opposite of homosexuality is 'holiness'"
Alan Chambers talks to Focus on the Family about his new book Leaving Homosexuality: "The key thought here is the opposite of homosexuality isn’t heterosexuality. It’s holiness. There are people who are conflicted with their sexuality, involved with homosexuality, and there is a way out for those who want it. But it doesn’t say that they’re going into heterosexuality, because that’s not the point. The point is that people can leave whatever it is that God calls less than His best and move into something that is His best, becoming more like He is."

1. Wow, we've seen a lot of Republican holiness in recent weeks.
Including extra-marital holiness and underage holiness.

and the other rogues' gallery of black collar crimes.

4. Cool. Homosexuality has been promoted to a form of spirituality.

6. Ah, more garbage about homosexuality being a "disease".
You'd think after all the gay Republican scandals they'd figure it out.

7. Their problem is: Being GAY is NOT a SIN!!! Being gay just "is"...
That's THEIR whole fucking PROBLEM!!!

"Gay" is not something that needs to be "fixed" ASSHOLES!!!

but being a FUCKING LYING HYPOCRITICAL RELIGIOUS asshole IS something that is "fixable"...

8. Becoming more like He is?
God is straight? Well, I guess that explains the whole "Mary" thing.
