Pastor Claims Gay People Are Possessed By “Fart Demons” That Can Drive Pigs To Suicide

Bert Farias , founder of Holy Fire Ministries, claims to know the “raw, naked truth” about why people are gay: They are possessed by “fart demons.” Yes, fart demons.



Oh, but it gets better.

Farias also claims that in choosing to be gay, a person chooses to engage in “unclean demonic practices.” Once that happens, they become possessed by “putrid-smelling” demons so stinky they can drive pigs to suicide.

In an interview with Charisma magazine, Farias begged gay people to “not get upset with me” as he explained his groundbreaking new theory.

“You will see that I am actually trying to help you,” he assured them.

“Homosexuality is actually a demon spirit. It is such a putrid smelling demon that other demons don’t even like to hang around it.”


He then went on to recount a story from the Bible to illustrate his fascinating point:

“There is an account in the Bible where Jesus casts out 2,000 demons out of a man. The demons came out screaming and begged Jesus to send them into the pigs. The pigs didn’t want them, so they ran down a steep hill and were drowned in the sea.”

“Pigs have more sense than some humans,” he added. “People embrace homosexual demons, but the pigs would rather die than be possessed with demons.”

"are there no lunatic asylums?" People who have made this decisive a break with everything resembling reality should be locked away in a place with soft rooms and tall, razor-wire topped walls.

My brother is gay and we are sure it happened when I held him down and farted on his head.
Be careful out there, folks.

Is this guy for real? Is his not some kind of parody or something? Because this is some stupid shit even for a bigot, and that's really saying something.
