I get the impression that Mr. Thomas is smitten with fame. And the more his followers/friends agree with him, the more he feels God is rewarding him for his social-positions/actions. From a John Dean interview with Bob Altemeyer:

Q. Why do these authoritarians follow amoral, hypocritical, deceitful liars? A: To maintain their beliefs in a world of challenging discoveries and conflicting beliefs, they associate as much as possible with others who agree with them. They travel in small circles, getting booster shots of faith from one another…All you have to do to get into their "in-group" is tell them they are right…

As long as his followers/friends support his victimhood status on the Ugandan matter (persecution by request for statement of denunciation), I suspect his conscience will be clear. Famous last words: “I did all that I could!”

Could one be imprisoned in Uganda if one prayed for gays? Talk about violation of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Apparently no freedom is too important to be overturned in the goal of overcoming the gays.

Honestly, I would be surprised if Randy says a single word about this.

Do not be. He can, like, say, pray for the gays at Uganda and include prayer set. As if it means anything.

perhaps now is the time for him to start protesting.

What’s in it for him?
