I suppose that NARTH was jealous that Exodus was the only “ex-gay” business being humiliated this week, and decided to thus reassert their relevance in a world that cares less and less each day. NARTH persistently misrepresents the research of noted geneticist Francis Collins [who happens to be an Evangelical], and Collins has the audacity to respond to it forcefully, so therefore NARTH will stomp their feet like this:
The National Association for the Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) is once again attacking the veracity of noted geneticist Dr. Francis S. Collins. For a review of the history of this issue, please see the summary and links in our previous post. The original NARTH article that started this is “Homosexuality Is Not Hardwired,” Concludes Dr. Francis S. Collins, Head Of The Human Genome Project” from 2007.
This latest effort comes in the form of an article identified as submitted to the NARTH website by David C. Pruden, NARTH’s Vice-President of Operations. We will assume from here on out that Pruden is the author unless or until we receive information to the contrary. In it, this writer is painted as having wooed Dr. Collins into making statements favorable to a pro-gay position by “misinforming” him about NARTH. Supposedly, by not telling him what a good and wholesome organization it is (cough), we hoodwinked Dr. Collins into perverting the science in our favor.
That is how sneaky gay bloggers are! All we have to do is snap our fingers and the leading scientists of the nation do what we say! Come on, now.
David Pruden provides no evidence, or clear argument to support that I “misinformed” Dr. Collins. Dr. Collins is a smart man and can clearly draw his own conclusions. The latest article is defensive and divisive, providing nothing new. Furthermore, Pruden’s claims are not relevant because XGW is not responsible for “representing” NARTH in a way that fits their own PR. I simply asked Dr. Collins questions and he answered after reading the original NARTH article himself.

Dr. Collins stated that the words used in that NARTH piece were “juxtaposed in a way that suggest[ed] a somewhat different conclusion than [he] intended.” If Pruden had a beef with that, then why point fingers at me, rather than just go to the source?
And on and on it goes. Read the whole thing, because it’s a demonstration of just how little of a commitment to or relationship with the truth NARTH [and all related ex-gay religious extremist organizations] have. They simply lie, and they hope that people are dumb enough not to notice.
Who is going to listen to a bunch of twits who dont even understand the purpose of life. For a man & woman to bond & reproduce. Its why we are here today, no thanks to gays.
If you saw 2 male birds trying to mate you would think they are retarded. They wont live long, or spread their ‘stupid’ genes. Now people try play god & make testtube babies to get round the basics of life. You people are just confused. Please stop pushing this BS on others, because you dont even know the basics of life.
The problem with “NARTH” and the militant anti-gay activists running the thing is that they have chosen money over God. The Bible gives us a clear choice between God and money, you cannot have both. When you deliberately disobey God, as the shrill anti-gay activists at NARTH have done, He will eventually give you up to a reprobate mind. At that point, you can no longer tell the difference between right and wrong, truth and lies, or morality and sin. This is why militant anti-gay pressure groups are incapable of telling the truth on the issue which they use to get more of their idol, i.e., money. Say whatever it takes to keep them dollars flowing, baby!
When you say “life,” BBB, are you using the term in the scientific way, or in the weird, coded, anti-scientific, intellectually bereft way Fundamentalists use it?
Plz clarify.
“If you saw 2 male birds trying to mate you would think they are retarded. They wont live long, or spread their ’stupid’ genes.”
LOL
So what’s your opinion on infertile couples, BBB? Are they BS and full of “stupid genes” too? Are you against them, as well?
Surely you’re not a hypocrite, right?
So let me get this straight (so to speak):
1. NARTH based a recent gibber-fest on the work of a researcher.
2. That researcher has contradicted NARTH’s representation of his work.
3. NARTH has responded by suggesting the researcher is stupid enough to believe anything some random stranger tells him.
Fine. It’s much easier when they discredit their own b.s.
Oh man—about that “retarded birds” comment… Same-sex attraction is extremely well documented in hundreds of animal species. A certain percentage of most animals (we’re not only talking about the human race here) are only attracted to their own gender. And guess what—none of these species have gone extinct yet, because of it. It’s just the way nature works—do your research.
Not surprising that NARTH would smeara real scientist since all of them are nothing more than quacks. The more they carry on, the more their lie will be ezposed.
Hey BBB, were you home-schooled?
