There is only one thing North Carolina’s own closet-case bigoted Benham Brothers love to do other than being on their knees with each other and that is talk about gay sex and Daddy issues! It’s constantly on their…..minds for for some reason.
This week they’ve visited Mat ( I never got a case I didn’t lose) Staver and Liberty Counsel’s “Faith and Freedom” radio program where they decided to denounce the “darkened heart” and depraved mind” of the gays.
Religious Right activists David and Jason Benham were the guests again today on Liberty Counsel’s “Faith and Freedom” radio program, where David declared that marriage equality is a satanic attack on God that is a consequence of society having been taken over by those with a “darkened heart” and a “depraved mind.”
“We’ve deconstructed gender,” he said. “It’s an ultimate attack on the Creator … So this is where we find ourselves as a culture, is with a depraved mind where we’re celebrating and even forcing others to participate in immorality.”
“What the Lord wants,” Benham added, “He wants us to have life and this whole deconstruction of gender, this whole redefinition of marriage, all of these things is a mask for Satan who is robbing and killing and destroying these people who desperately want life. They want to seek the love of a father, trying to find it in the arms of another man and they’ll never find it there.”
Obviously the boys aren’t into cuddling each other.
But do they swallow?
I think the real danger is that the Benhams and others of this religious bent claim to know “What the Lord wants” – a loaded phrase full of assumptions and implications for those who are taken in by their claims.
I have often wondered what bible these people read? I actually place them in the same category as the Mullahs that pervert the Qu’ran to promote their hate based view of their theology. I cannot help to think that giving the Benham’s a media platform only fuels their hate based rhetoric.
The only platform is a mocking one.
