Christian Pastor Blames Homosexual Indoctrination for Sexual Assaults in School

Christian Pastor Blames “Homosexual Indoctrination” for Sexual Assaults in School
July 16, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

Pastor Kevin Swanson, who has a long history of saying bigoted anti-LGBTQ things with no consequences from his conservative Christian audience, has done it again.

This time, he was offering a simple answer to a complicated question… and completely missing the mark.

Why are we seeing a rise in sexual assaults in public schools? You might say it’s because more victims are finally speaking up — a good, courageous development — or because more people think they can get away with it. You could blame it on politics since President Pussy Grabber didn’t face any consequences. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone blamed it on easier access to drugs or pornography.

But Swanson didn’t say any of that. He was too busy blaming his go-to bogeymen.

Christians bemoaning the rise in atheism and "nones" have only themselves to blame. Fewer people are buying into what they're saying as we move toward becoming a more tolerant people. The groups they like to attack are more out in the open and have friends that people like Swanson consider "normal" and to whom he is directing these attacks, desperately crying, "Believe meeeee! I have God on my siiiiiide!", but more and more aren't buying it but instead getting upset that he's attacking their friend, sibling, nephew/niece, etc.

Keep it up, Kev.
