This time around though he states online donations to his “Ministry” are NOT tax-deductible. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact he has yet to file his 2008 or 2009 Form 900 (“non-profit” indeed!) with the IRS – at least according to Guidestar as of this morning.

Wonder if failure to file is a chargeable offence?

LOL!

That is a strawman argument. Dishonest and deliberate logical fallacies are not permitted at Truth Wins Out — especially from people who falsely claim to tell the truth.

Sue said: “Our bodies tell us that it is unatural to engage in the homosexual lifestyle.”

False. Your body tells you that it is unnatural for you; and there is no such thing as a “homosexual lifestyle.”

Sue said: “The average life of a male homosexual is 43.”

That myth, spread by a quack activist Paul Cameron and his son Kirk, was proven false decades ago. It was true only of homosexual men in the late 1980s who died in San Francisco during the height of the AIDS epidemic and had their obituaries printed in the few gay newspapers that the Cameron duo read.

Sue, your declaration of unsubstantiated and defamatory falsehoods is deserving of ridicule, and your presentation of your vulgar and indecent prejudices as false “truth” has nothing to do with “freedom of speech.” No one is free to commit libel and slander against others, and no one is free to abuse privately owned property as you do here.

You are, in short, a troll abusing privately owned property. You are a graffiti artist, scrawling messages of blind and stupid hate in someone else’s home.

Your opposition to love, diversity, and tolerance make you unqualified for civil discussion, which is a basic requirement of this site. Goodbye, Sue.

But, yes, ‘intolerance’ I most certainly am. As I am not a Christian, I don’t follow immoral teachings such as loving my enemies and forgiving murderers. (I’m glad we didn’t on 9/11). Tolerance is not a virtue: it has to be deserved. I have no tolerance for intolerance, bigotry and religious bullying.

If you make statements that are poisonous, based on no evidence whatsoever, you must face the consequences and expect mockery and ridicule, or worse. That’s what the First Amendment is all about. It seems you are asking for superstitious beliefs to be given special treatment, by being ringfenced from criticism. That’s not going to happen.

It’s the cheapest trick of all time to use the threat of eternal damnation to leech money of gullible people, and all these ex-gay organisations are just that.

You should tolerate the truth that being gay is perfectly natural for many people. You are a fine one to talk of tolerance, when what you want to do is interfere with their personal affairs, and use the federal courts to make their lives as miserable as possible.

To repeat, we don’t want your love or freedom thanks. Justice will do nicely instead.

PS You’re welcome to provide peer-reviewed evidence of homosexual life expectancies – not debunked propaganda from fundamentalists, based on newspaper obituaries.

No wonder he tells the reader also, ‘you must believe’ – well, Mr Bennett’s failing ministry is living proof that such nonsense cannot be believed. There is no reason to. Extraordinary claims – like knowing the mind of ‘God’ – require extraordinary evidence.

I am pleased Bennett is a happily married man with a family, I wish him well. But he should realise, many of us want nothing to do with his message, and are able to lead steady, normal lives and not sink in a purple haze of drugs addiction and alcohlism as Bennett clearly did.

While religious fanatics keep sticking their fingers into other people’s affairs, you must expect hatred, and ridicule. His inability to show self-control in former years is a reflection of himself, not others. He needs to face up to that, and move on.
