Love in Action

[SpiderMage]

I read this(well skimmed it really) and I was really appauled. Granted I have newly found faith in Christianity, but to see a boot camp like thing to turn people from being homosexual to straight is really pushing it. We are supposed to love the sinner but hate the sin, and tell them about Jesus Christ and the Lord, but they are supposed to make the acceptance and bring him into their heart, not have done through a boot camp...

In the last 12 hours, I have read some pretty apalling things. A 16 year-old name Zach was sent to a Love In Action "camp" because he is homosexual. Love In Action His parents believe that by sending him to this "camp" that he would become "straight". The director of the "camp", John Simd directly says that:"I would rather you commit suicide than have you leave Love In Action wanting to return to the gay lifestyle. In a physical death you could still have a spiritual resurrection; whereas, returning to homosexuality you are yielding yourself to a spiritual death from which there is no recovery." Who can seriously believe that unless you were brainwashed or lived on an island too long!

Poor dude.

Poor poor Joel.

I miss him sherr

edit: BTW, I am the strongest supporter of Gay rights, and if any of you fuckers wants to ask why (it's not because I'm gay) PM me. And for those of you smart ass motherfuckers that think that God hates those who act on their homosexual impulses you can fuck off you murdering hypocrits.

edit2: I signed the petition, and I would ask that all of you sign it too, I don't think it's right for a body such as the church to dictate a lifestyle. And for those of you with the "The govt. does that...." argument, read some Henry David and get educated.

hey, check this out:

1. No physical violence or physically threatening dialogue. Violation of this rule warrants immediate dismissal from the program.

problem solved! but seriously, I'm signing that petition. They're not even allowed to have emotional dependance on a person. Oh, and a bi guy/girl could possibly fake their way thru this. but it still sucks. I call for the makers of this to go through a gay camp: in which they are indoctrinated to become homosexual. I believe in 'treat others as you would be treated'.
