Really? An exorcism to drive out homosexuality... really?

if the offense is not violence perpetrated against the young man (which from the video I don't see any abuse in that regard), then what is it? surely not that there are demons....no one seems to have a problem with that idea. it must therefore be the connection made between homosexuality and the demonic.

is it now off limits for people who have religious beliefs to suggest that people's behavior could have origins in something other then biology?

I continually fail to understand why homosexuality is considered wrong and evil. I mean, seriously, with the amount of hate and bitterness in the world I would have thought that a little more love in the world would be a good thing. Apparently not.

It may be turning a deaf ear if you can't hear the arguments about why some people consider it wrong, however I cannot understand the hate for someone that has no influence on your life. People have considered it wrong because the human body wasn't necessarily made for it and throughout history homosexuality was connected with not reproducing and our 2 most major instincts are survival and reproduction. The arguments for not encouraging homosexuality make sense but nothing excuses crazy behavior. People are the way that they are, acceptance almost always is the only option. It doesn't mean that you support their lifestyle. If you don't like the way a person is, just don't associate

The only people that I won't accept are crazies (political crazies, religious crazies, and anti religious crazies especially) and these people are clearly crazies.

This is a joke. Im sorry I wasted my time on this page.

Nice Blog---this kid in NY should not go un-noticed. I was in one of these deals---mine was worse, 22 years ago--nine hours, me and five guys, panic, fear, sex, violence, hate. The 'beneficiary' will develop what they call DID, and also PTSD---Disassociated Identity Disorder---it's a bitch. The person no longer has a consistent 'self' inside. Lots of research on-line. The arguments against the way this kid was treated are numerous, based on the New TEstament---but this is very typical, they do it all the time, and children are often killed this way, if you do your research (numerous). Just from the New Testament: a) the kid was forgiven, period, b) his 'body' is the temple of 'love'---or 'Holy Spirit'---so they Blaspheme by accusing him of 'containing', non-love, etc. (S-word, L-word, D-word)---read what JC says--"Know you not that your body is the temple of HS (Third of the Entuire Trinity)---now, aside from the nature of HS (HG)---the point is that JC grants 'body rights' to the entire human family'--YOUR body----you know?? Like keep your hands to yourself--don't shoot me--gay-rights, abortion--food and drink--YOUR--likewise, in the 11-th Commandment--"Love G-D with all your strength and might and spirit and all your mind'---so again--YOUR mind--thus, classic mind-f--k from these guys. I can go on and on---what it works out--they can't heal a common cold--but because they know the kid and others TRUST them as authority figures in the name of the Supreme being---they can play with their minds and get the poor guy into convulsions, etc. He will have nightmares---he will have DID---he will have trouble finding work--he will feel un-loved--and he won't feel like going to church---he could become suicidal---he could break out in a rage and attack someone---so, for me--it's major Christian screw-up---and there are 100's of these each year---
