Meet the Republican Party's new spiritual guru, Lou Engle:

{excerpt from 2007 Engle Los Vegas speech. see here for extended transcript. right: audio excerpt from Engle sermon}

"My son Jesse, he's nineteen years old. God has given him dreams, to go to San Francisco to launch a house of prayer, one block from the Castro District - where the homosexuals boast the dominion of darkness. He's going there with weeping in his heart. With the dream that prayer is stronger than the dominion of that spirit.


...He said to me, "dad," he said, "as long as I'm there I don't think the Lord will judge San Francisco." {boos, angry murmur from Engle's audience}...

He's nineteen years old. He's starting to cast out homosexual spirits out of our new converts. It's scary as hell. The whole thing's scary. But fathers are to send their sons into the darkest places."

As the Rachel Maddow Show has recently showcased, on December 16th the Family Research Council sponsored a "Prayercast" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBTtv7nTYzY#t=1m42s event, attended by GOP luminaries including Senators Jim DeMint and Sam Brownback, and House Representatives Michelle Bachmann and Randy Forbes. But FRC head Tony Perkins did not lead the prayer event. That honor fell to Lou Engle, Founder of TheCall. Besides leading the capstone stadium rally for pro-Proposition 8, antigay marriage organizers last November 1, 2008 at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium, Lou Engle could also be found, at a special ceremony at a Virginia Beach megachurch last summer, anointing and blessing GOP presidential hopefuls Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich.

1. "The Dominion of Darkness"?
Are they renaming neighborhoods in SF?

By the way isn't everyone this guy disagrees with possessed by the devil. What a pure world of right and wrong this Bozo lives in.

2. I totally disagree with him, but hell, at least he's honest about
how he really feels about us.

3. What a crock of crapola. Why do people like that get any attention...any publicity at all?
It just feeds the insane frenzy...

I hope that one day this guy is out there on a stage ranting and raving, and a bolt of lightning comes out of the blue and totally
incinerates him. Nothing will be left but the best of him...a pile of ashes.

5. I think you answered your own question.
There's big bucks to be had in feeding the insane frenzy.

6. I had exactly the same thought.
I bet he's a repressed gay too, for that matter. Years ago a psychologist named Henry Adams collected penile plethysmograph data & found that homophobes showed strong homoerotic arousal.

12. I give him one year
And instead of darkness in his heart, he will have lightness in his step and Diana Ross on his iPod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9KXkDMEPag

9. LOL!
That's what I thought too. Maybe he can get together with Ted Haggard if he's not too busy cooking up some meth or with a male prostitute. God works in mysterious ways so I've heard.

10. So what about bisexuals? Like Larry Craig?
Who does love his wife, as well as a big d1ck once in a while.

in complete denial for political purposes.

18. I beg to differ
And maybe it's cuz' I'm a hillbilly who is just fine with gay folks -
but I reserve the right to hate TOILET FAGS!!
Sorry if I insulted anyone - if there is a better description for these one-man losing streaks, I'd love to hear it.

11. No surprise...
Edited on Sun Dec-20-09 08:11 AM by BolivarianHero
With Obama the Traitor playing nice with lunatics like Rick Warren, the bar has been set so low that the GOP has to deal with the craziest reactionaries they can fine if they wish to form an alternative from the right.

14. Those Christians have come so far since the Salem Witch trials..I mean
now they can use the teevee thingy to spread their brand of bigrotry, fear, and desire for power.

One more reason organized religion will NEVER play a part in MY life, when this stuff is allowed to parade as part of Christianity.
Where is the loud condemnation of this kind of thinking from other organized Christian religions? Oh wait, only rational followers of the disciplines of science dare condemn idiots like this.

16. San Francisco seems to be a Target
There seems to be a lot of born again Christians moving here (and Mormons coming here) with the purpose of, not only trying to Change people, but to change our politics as well. I am not worried, this city has a history and reputation. They will not change it..not now, not ever.
