As a Baptist Christian, I want to say that this pastor does not speak for me. I listened to the sermon excerpt and read the retraction. It sounds as if he is advocating physical discipline to prevent homosexual behavior but then claims in the retraction that he wasn't. I doubt many people would buy that. I don't. As a man who felt effeminate as a child and who still today does not fit the "man's man" profile, I am disturbed by this pastor's ideals of masculinity and femininity. My hope in posting this comment is to help people realize that not all Christians are like this one.
Yeah, but Christianity still makes people like this dickface, so what's your point?
