On Thursday, Williams called Josh Duggar a Slimebag tweeting, Sorry, Josh Duggar is a bigot, slimebag. Whole family is, and FRC is a scam. Yup, Gay people are the danger to kids? NOPE, JOSH DUGGAR IS.
That followed an earlier tweet where he wrote, BREAKING: Josh Duggar, a world class bigot, admits sexually abusing young girls has consistently stated that LGBT folks r danger to kids.
Criticized on Facebook by self-styled evangelist Joshua Feuerstein who wrote, You are a has been [sic] washed up piece of crap.. But Jesus loves you! Thats what amazes me, Williams expanded upon his comments about Josh Duggar and the FRC.
What this guy, and frankly what Duggar, his parents, his former employer apparently dont care about is we have an epidemic of anti-#lgbtyouth killing themselves over being relegated to second class citizenship by hypocrites like Duggar and charlatans like Tony Perkins, he wrote. WHEN IS THE LAST TIME AN LGBT teen getting picked on trended on Facebook all day? When has one gotten the attention I did today as they are assaulted by rhetoric from the Duggars of the world telling them they are mistakes or that which they cannot change is a blasphemy, or worse, telling them they are deviant dangers to kids

"Pope Francis did not spearhead the colloquium, as many casual observers might think. It was organized and led by German Cardinal Gerhard Müller, a strong conservative voice at the Popes Synod on the Family last month. Müller is the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican group that sponsored the event. Still, Pope Francis gave an opening address to attendees, in which he affirmed the Churchs teaching that children have a right to a mother and a father.

The presence of American evangelicals and the LDS Church was particularly notable. Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church, and Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Conventions Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, each gave speeches, and representatives from the Heritage Foundation and the Family Research Council in Washington attended. President Henry Eyring of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints first presidency spoke and Elder Tom Perry of the LDSs Quorum of the Twelve also joined. In the United States, this trio of faiths has worked together to stand against the governments Affordable Care Acts contraception mandate, but it was the first time they were coming together at the Vatican to talk about marriage.
-------
Tony Perkins broadcast live from the event, and he really loved it:
The atmosphere was almost euphoric as the attendees from six of the worlds seven continents broke from the historic gathering to return to their respective nations renewed in their stand for marriage, he says. The courts may declare otherwise, and Hollywood may depict its demise, but the union of a man and a woman as the natural and enduring definition of marriage will endure until the end.

(34,582 posts)told me the ones who preach the loudest are doing so to cover up the sounds of the skeletons rattling in their closet. His church had one fundie couple in it. This was around 83 or so, when fundies were still an oddity (at least in Cleveland)
