A Fayetteville, North Carolina, pastor has retracted controversial language used during a weekend sermon in which he instructed parents to hit children who exhibited behavior associated with homosexuality. "The second you see your son dropping that limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist," Harris said in the Sunday sermon. "Man up. Give him a good punch." "You’re not going to act like that," the pastor advised parents to tell their children. "You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male.”

"It is unfortunate I was not more careful and deliberate,” the paster conceded after being called on his invitation to Gay bashing.

Translation – I still mean what I said, but I wish I had said it more artfully and used more code words so as to throw off the liberals.

Buffalo isn't the only prognosticator on this board...

I hereby prophesy that this pastor will run afoul of the law in a gay-sex prostitution scandal within ten years time. Yea, verily.

Verily, the prophets Beefcalf and Buffalo are of one mind on this issue.

I honestly can’t figure out whether this pastor is a good example or a bad example of Christian behavior in general.

What an asinine thing to say, especially to the large crowds at Berean Baptist. No way a comment like that wasn't going to make it's way to the Fayetteville Disturber. That's my hometown, by the way, and I know many people who've attended that church over the years, most of them being nice neighbors and decent schoolmates.

I would bet the specific motivation for the pastor's comments is the upcoming vote on amendment 1, a vote sparked by the legislature's desire to amend the state constitution to include:

Constitutional amendment to provide that marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State.

I expect the hullabaloo and accompanying ecclesiastical commentary will die down afterward. Our state actually has a fairly moderate political history. In other words, we have politicians and former elected officials from both parties either on trial or doing time.

He must be in tune with the Spirit, as Boyd Packer said pretty much the same thing years ago. Only he never retracted it.

[_mercyngrace]

In tune with "a" spirit, anyway ;)

The part that followed, about reining in daughters who are "too butch," is pretty bad as well.
