And now I’m not anymore. Thanks, German Catholic doctors who are an embarrassment to the medical profession!
A group of Catholic German doctors has claimed it can help to ‘cure’ homosexual feelings by using a range of homeopathic therapy options – a declaration that has been blasted by gay groups as “dangerous” and as showing “a lack of respect for homosexuals and bisexuals”.
As reported by German website Spiegel, The Union of Catholic Physicians (UCP) offers homeopathic “therapy options for homosexuality” on its website, including “constitutional treatments with homeopathic tools…such as homeopathic dilutions like Platinum,” psychotherapy, religious counseling and pills named as Globuli, which are made mostly of sugar.
Placebos, guilt and a healthy dose of bad science? Yep, sounds like the organized Christian opposition to gay people to me! Same old, same old.

Focus on the Family plucked a video from its Web site today that urged people to pray for “rain of biblical proportions” during Barack Obama’s Aug. 28 appearance at Invesco Field at Mile High to accept the Democratic nomination for president. This, of course, would be about as effective as their attempts to have people “pray away the gay” at their “ex-gay” Love Won Out freak shows.
Stuart Shepard, director of digital media at Focus Action, the political arm of Focus on the Family, said the video he wrote and starred in was meant to be “mildly humorous.” But complaints from about a dozen Focus members convinced the organization to pull the video, said Tom Minnery, Focus Action vice president of public policy.
“If people took it seriously, we regret it,” Minnery said Monday.
Who is Focus on the Family kidding? They are a nasty group that portrays God as a right wing bully who is molded in James Dobson’s dictatorial image. The only joke here, was that Focus on the Family is covering up their true colors by portraying their ugliness as a parody.
You can only feel bad for people who have such an authoritarian, hideous view of spirituality. I hope, even pray, that they get the help they need to escape this miserable mindset in which they are trapped.

If Mohler and Throckmorton really wanted to have a debate, and if, as they say, they are not afraid of open debate, why don’t they just host it themselves?
There certainly must be enough room for this panel (or one like it) to speak at Mohler’s Baptist Theological Seminary, or at the Focus on the Family headquarters (Mohler is on the Board), or perhaps at a Love Won Out conference?
If they do not issue invitations for APA views to speak at their centers, then perhaps it is actually they who are afraid to debate in front of a wide audience? And, perhaps what everyone is saying, that they are just looking to make publicity to cast APA in a bad light is true. Maybe they are afraid that if their flocks are presented with real scientific views it will be more difficult to manipulate and brainwash them?
So, right wingers, when are the invitations coming?
