In 1994, I appeared as a guest on exorcist Bob Larson’s radio show. He was the sleaziest, least ethical, host I have ever encountered. First, he insulted Dykes on Bikes — calling them fat and ugly, and claiming that their “ugly” appearance was evidence that they were possessed by demons. At the end of the show, he trotted out a man who had conveniently tested HIV-positive the week of our show. The young man repented of his homosexuality on the spot and became an “ex-gay” live on the air! (Obviously an actor)
At the time, I was the Executive Director of Sons & Daughters of America (SDA), an LGBT organization that I had co-founded with Carlos Muina in Florida. SDA showed positive images of the LGBT community at a time when such portraits were hard to come by. Which brings us back to Bob.
As his show ended, he went on a maniacal monologue about how evil gay activism and my organization were. He ended with the unforgettable line: “You may say that there is no difference between you and me. You may say that homosexuals are normal and the same as everyone else. But, Wayne, there is a big difference between you and me: SODOMY!”
I have to admit a little guilty pleasure being on Bob’s show. He is a master manipulator and entertainer, has the best preaching voice I’ve ever heard, (with the exception of Jimmy “I Have Sinned” Swaggart). And the idiocy of his act cracks me up. Particularly when he begs for money: “I need a one-thousand dollar Hero. I need a five hundred dollar Champion.” And, of course, my favorite line is: “If you’ve given, give again.” It is so clear that this guy is a huckster, yet the dupes always called into his show and opened up their wallets and purses.
Well, now Bob is back with a vengeance and extracting demons and curing sick people.
Satan tried to kill Bob Larson, but God supernaturally saved his life. Now, Bob is rapidly recovering from surgery and a heart attack, and he is back with a stronger anointing than ever. Bob has one mission in mind, to put the devil on notice: The captives will be set free! The brokenhearted will be healed. Sickness, disease, and infirmity will have to go. Come to Bob’s Freedom Seminar and get free, stay free, and live free!

I know it is wrong for me to say this. But anyone gullible enough to pay Larson deserves to be separated from their money. You have to be a real sucker to fall for his act — amusing as it may be.

“…. and he is back with a stronger anointing than ever. ” How can you make a slime ball more oily?
i dated a “Dyke on bike” for 3 years, not only was she femme off the bike she was quite beautiful.
So if ugliness is evidence that one is demon possessed, I guess that helps explain Michelle Malkin.
Bob Larson has some serious ” issues” with LGBT people. As a long-time Bob Larson watcher I know of a few specific instances:
* His radio show ( and VHS tape he sold) verbal assault on a male to female transgender “guest”. From his first crude question to his outrage at finding his guest is a Christian, Larson acted, crude, rude and homophobic. At one point in the video the poor woman was shaking in fear. He refused to call his gust ” her’ and used the word ” it”.
* His bizarre, even for the Christian theology on demons, insistance that all demons are male, have penises and that any demon who appeared as female was “in drag”. This view even went to the point where he in his radio show showed his admiration of a Satanist guest’s drawings of demons with big dicks. And later on as his exploitation as a ” real exorcist” where at one “conference” he melodramatically claimed the book he held (assumed to be the Bible ) as a “sword” to castrate demons.
* His voiced aversion to the point where he claimed he was going to vomit on air when his guest host had on three drag queens, who apparently looked like very attractive females to him until he found out they were in fact males.
He is also bigoted against Native Americans, rather odd since he now lives in Arizona.
