Is Exodus’ access to these political leaders due to their Christian faith?

If so, can Exodus and others articulate an argument for “Christian Governtment” that includes tolerance and non-coerciveness?

We all support: “thou shalt not steal.”

But it is hard to put into law, “thou shalt not covet.”

[...] Nyombi’s case made headlines in September of 2008 but little has been reported since. I post this case in light of the recent ex-gay conference in Kampala, Uganda involving Exodus International board member, Don Schmeirer, International Healing Foundation’s Caleb Brundidge and Scott Lively. During this series of meetings, a new anti-gay group was formed, and Scott Lively called for tougher criminal laws and forced therapy of homosexuals. [...]

but there is a smidgeon of truth to what Regan says. Many ex-gays and the organizations that support them use their message to suggest that gay people don’t deserve equal rights –

One of the flaws in her argument is that she directed it in a hostile way to someone who does not fit her accusations – Dr. Throckmorton. How uncool is that?

Dear Dr Throckmorton- why on Earth would they do such a thing?

I agree that for the most part, people are far better than we give them credit for. It’s all too easy to Demonise people we disagree with.

But there comes a time when you have to face facts. That these particular opponents are not misled, not ignorant, not showing goodwill, and not even “having their hands tied by a few extremists in their organisation”. It’s the people who aren’t hypocrites that are on the fringe, and that provide cover for the rest.

I think you’ll be waiting for a long time. Please draw the requisite conclusions in future dealings. Don’t let the matter drop, don’t give them a pass on this one. Please.

You know, even I hope I’m wrong? I don’t want to believe it myself. I know there are many good people in those organisations who are horrified by this. But the evidence is compelling that they’re not just a minority, but a tiny one. Please tell me in all sincerity that I’m wrong.
