Grantdale,

I would be VERY surprised if Jason comes back to respond. My guess is he commented here for no other reason than to A) advertise his ministry and B) offer an obligatory display of fellowship in keeping with this idea of “bridge-building” so that Jesus will give him his gold star for the day. Like other professional ex-gays, he’s not interested in honest conversation.

The heart of Christ is not found in men who encourage vigilantism, imprisonment, internment in re-education camps, and denial of constitutional freedoms.

And the heart of Christ is not found in men like Jason and Alan who oppress Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and agnostics because their own political religion can’t compete in a fair and open market.

The self-satisfied political religion of Jason Thompson and Alan Chambers is gradually destroying Exodus and its local political “ministries.” Exodus’ local ex-gay activists are disappearing from Exodus’ referral list, and Exodus is scrambling to replace them with antigay churches that have no clue how to communicate with local LGBT Christians.

My prayer is that Jason and Alan’s war against individual and spiritual freedom, and against mental health, will only damage their respective denominations and not continue to cause collateral damage for denominations and faiths that affirm all of God’s children.

Jason, I could almost echo that. I’ll edit for accuracy, as is necessary with you:

Way to go Alan. I love what you ~~had to say~~ [just spun] regarding Exodus’ involvement [in a deliberately political organisation] and pray people will see ~~the heart of Christ~~ through that.

We are, however, pleased to know that you approve of a liar and coward speaking on behalf of their target to a crowd of bullies. Let us know when we can return the favour.

(On second thoughts, we won’t bother asking — we’ll just do it. Ironically, of course.)

What ever next … Alan will be claiming to a voice for gay men and lesbians in Uganda even at the same as being aware of his own role in their marginalisation and persecution???

Oh. Too late.

Come to mention it — where was Jason Thompson when Exodus went over to Uganda with both 1) a notorious bigot and 2) a disciple of Richard Cohen to support the persecution of gay men and women? Dead silence from you as people were being attacked… wow.

You work for a fraudulent organisation, and you don’t care. You love only yourselves, and enjoy the misery you impose on others. Any claim to the contrary is snake-oil.

You need take a good hard look into the mirror, Jason. We cannot help you.

(On a lighter note: I noticed that Portland Fellowship continues to plummet southwards. Under your leadership Portland Fellowship has collapsed, yet your personal income doesn’t seen to reflect that fact. It’s a wonder you haven’t been fired. Care to comment?)

@ Alex: Absolutely. Of course, we’re not serious. We expect our comments to be taken as barbed jokes, not literally as gospel.

@ Jason: Please look at everyone else’s comments. Look at the Christian gay men, the Jewish lesbian, the Malaysian Christian transwoman, the redneck bisexual woman. Then ask yourself: “Do these people *look* like they’ve seen the heart of Christ through Exodus’ involvement in politics?” If you think so, ask yourself what you think the “heart of Christ” looks like.

Maybe we should put Alan’s marriage to a vote and then see how “loved” he feels by us.

They’ve lost the culture war, and no amount of retrenchment is going to change that. The political exploiters – and despoilers – of the Judeo-Christian religion are in disarray.
They can hold as many meetings, symposia and fundraisers as they want.
They’re bankrupt, morally and fiscally, and the American people know that.

Way to go Alan. I love what you had to say regarding Exodus’ involvment and pray people will see the heart of Christ through that.

If Alan Chambers “respects” us his “friends”, then he should do so in the same way we respect heterosexuals. Leave us alone! Stop reducing us to “behaviour” and “lifestyle”!
