It was hard to fathom how Robert Jeffress could possibly refine his already highly nuanced views on human sexuality, but the First Baptist pastor has managed, somehow, to do just that.
Right Wing Watch brings us a video of Jeffress's appearance last week on Trinity Broadcasting Network's "Praise the Lord" in which he further toned down his anti-gay rhetoric.
His premise is there are many ways to deviate from "God's standard," sexually speaking. Premarital sex, adultery, unbiblical divorce, man on man, woman on woman, man on woman on man -- they're all wrong in the Lord's eyes.
He goes on to explain why: "Think about this one time in heaven God was sitting up there with his sketch pad and he said, 'You know, I'm going to design human beings and would it be fun of they started doing this together with one another.'" Jeffress illustrates this by excitedly jabbing his fingers at one another in a way that makes you feel truly sorry for the missus. "God dreamed up sex, He thought it up for our enjoyment, He gave us the equipment to enjoy it with."

That's the read I get from most of the famous phobes in this country.

(100,041 posts)So this pastor equated gay sex with plugging a TV in the wrong socket.
Well if you think about it - there really is no such thing as a wrong socket (especially in computing), let alone one that could instantly explode!
And if something were to explode, speaking from an electrical standpoint, it would be the unit that supplies the power, that would be the brain.
So in retrospect the thing that actually exploded was this guys brain.
