(AP) BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - The video shows the 16-year-old boy lying on the floor, his body convulsing, as elders of a small Connecticut church cast a "homosexual demon" from his body.
"Rip it from his throat!" a woman yells. "Come on, you homosexual demon! You homosexual spirit, we call you out right now! Loose your grip, Lucifer!"
The 20-minute video posted on YouTube by Manifested Glory Ministries is being called abuse by gay and youth advocates, who are demanding an investigation. But a church official this week denied that the teenager was injured or that the church is prejudiced.
"We believe a man should be with a woman and a woman should be with a man," the Rev. Patricia McKinney told The Associated Press. "We have nothing against homosexuals. I just don't agree with their lifestyle."
Of all the good things churches do for the hungry, the homeless, and the helpless, MSNBC chooses to report on this BS? Another reason MSNBC is in the crapper.
Are they SUUUUREEEE they don't have a problem with homosexuals?
BTW, I really hate the term homosexuals. Too clinical and when the fundies use it, it really sounds icky.

It's an Associated Press story. MSNBC just reprinted it. Most news sites do this - even Fox News.

Interesting how you chose only to attack MSNBC and not these monsters performing barbaric rituals on a a 16 year old child.
When I see things like this, I wonder if these people realize what century we are living in. These are the types of people struggling to regain control over the policies of this nation.

I intended the "BS" to be in reference to the absurdity of the ritual. I definitely do believe it's BS.
