Their Demon-Haunted World

Colorado State Representative and Assemblies of God pastor Ken Summers, who oversees the Teen Challenge addiction centers, has some unusual methods to “cure” people of homosexuality. He envisions homosexuality as a demonic possession requiring an exorcism to “get the gay out.”

An isolated incident? Think again …

Minnesota congress woman Michele Bachmann’s donated over $9,000 to a Teen Challenge in Minnesota. The Minnesota Teen Challenge has received over $10 million in government funding, and there’s been a lot of demon casting-out going on at that Teen Challenge.

A Connecticut church, Manifested Glory Ministries in Bridgeport, posted a video of an exorcism of a teen’s “homosexual demons” on YouTube. It has since been taken down.

What a great idea. Blame everything on “demons” so you don’t have to take any personal responsibility. It’s not your fault.

These people are insane. If there’s a better argument in favor of church/state separation, I haven’t seen it.

I know, it’s better to light one candle than curse the darkness, but I’m all out of candles.
