Exorcising Gay Exorcism

Exorcising Gay Exorcism June 11, 2010

Unreasonable Faith has a post today about “Gay Exorcism” – the attempt to treat homosexuality as a demon and command it to come out of a homosexual in Jesus’ name.

When such attempts fail to have any effect on the person, and clearly do not render the person heterosexual, should this not lead Christians to conclude that homosexuality is not caused by demon possession?

If not, what could possibly render the above as anything other than a logical conclusion? Or is this yet another example of an instance where fundamentalist Christians are willing to overlook not only evidence and logic, but the dishonor they are giving to Jesus when they make repeated failed attempts at exorcising “demons of homosexuality” in his name? If even the honor of Jesus cannot persuade such so-called Christians, what can?

Contrast the approach of the aforementioned exorcists with that of Dr. Jack Rogers, whose book Jesus, the Bible, and Homosexuality has been reviewed in Perspectives, a publication of the Reformed Church of America.
