Palin's church promotes "ex-gay" conference

Source: gay.com

Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.

"You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality," according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.

Palin's conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain's candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.

Focus on the Family, a national Christian fundamentalist organization, is conducting the "Love Won Out" Conference in Anchorage, about 30 miles from Wasilla.

GO DU THEIR POLL - you'll be surprised on one of the two polls what AOLers are voting - as typically AOL is a REpublican bastion when it comes to polling....

dozen other men at all times.

:rofl:

*crickets chirping*

Nothing like a bunch of gay Jesus freaks pretending to be straight.

so that these christofascist hypocrites can be caught in their lies.

I hear Larry Craig is tapping his feet waiting for one...

WTF. Why aren't they praying for world peace or housing for the poor.

Spending their time on what sex someone else prefers is so friggen perverted.

I do not go home and pray that my neighbors change their sexual preferences. I mean WTF are these people thinking.

And, this is a throw back that everyone knows won't work. It's like the church of the 16th century there or something. Have they no newspapers or internet... WTF...

And yeah, you think they would worry more about the poor, the sick, blah, blah, blah.

Anyone wanna help me set it up? There'll be cookies!

to tolerate these right-wing nut jobs...

forgiveness for their judgment. I lost my first love to their crazy beliefs... that's all I'll say.

People's sexuality is not simple. It's complicated. I believe that someone can be straight later in life, after having been gay when younger, but I don't believe all the religious crap that is attached to it in these situations.
