"Pastor" Sean Harris says gays choose to be gay, and "punch" means "teach"

"Pastor Sean Harris of the Barean Baptist Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina who caused national outrage when he encouraged parents to "beat" homosexuality out of their kids is now backpedaling on his call to violence while still insisting being gay is an "ungodly choice."

During a call to Roz & Mocha on KiSS 92.5 on Friday he continued to defend his comments about the “importance of gender distinctions that God created,” as well his condemnation of homosexuality, citing Corinthians."

I know the source is a celebrity gossip blog, but the info is legit, and I haven't seen it anywhere else. The radio interview is also linked there. And, Corinthians doesn't even mention "homosexuality."

I put "Pastor" in quotes because isn't too much pastoral about this guy.

This guy is advocating child abuse, and homophobia. He talks about beating a 5 year old boy to make them "macho". He talks about women in a way that suggests he thinks their only purpose in life is to be "pretty".

What a horrible, horrible person.

Sooner or later, we'll read more about this guy...I'm betting he knocks up a teenage parishioner.

And she deserves it anyway, she's a filthy little tramp and a temptress sent by Satan to test his faith.

I hope he doesn't work anywhere around children. His picture at the link makes him look like a Nazi.

ANYONE with those attitudes should be assumed to be a child abuser, given that he equates "punching" with "teaching".
