Here's Kirk telling gay people as amicably as he can that his god will make them burn in hell for being who they are.
He seems to have been doing a lot of this, and sometimes it's hard to remember that he wasn't always an insane
person. So how did he change? Well, a wise man, a thoughtful man named Ray Comfort, took the time to teach
and mold Kirk into a
grown adult who eventually
lived in fear of a little girl standing near a parking lot because he thought she was a demon.
This man, who dedicates so much of his life to judging people as hellbound, has a lot to share on the matter
from his own point of view. In
one of Ray's blogs, he goes to great lengths to explain how to approach those with different views, with
love and utter respect:
'I went over to [a gay man], sat next to him and asked if he had had a Christian background.
His mother was Christian and his father was Catholic. He said that he had been pleading with God in prayer
to take away his homosexual tendencies. I said, "You know what helped me? It was the Ten Commandments,"
and I took him through the Law, and into the cross. I told him that he needed a new nature, prayed with him
and then left him with some literature to help him... Paralyzing and tormenting fear isn't from God,
but it can work for your evangelistic good.'
This is quite amazing, not just because duh, everyone knows that paralyzing and tormenting is awesome, especially
when you take somebody to the cross! The amazing part is,
it seems pretty obvious that straight guys wouldn't need the Ten Commandments to take away their homosexual
tendencies because they just wouldn't have them. Ray does. Cool. Now, you'd think that SOMEONE in Ray's camp
would've told him at one point, "Ray, did you know that straight men don't have the urge to sleep with other guys?"
But it seems that no men in his camp have come to realize that. Shrug.
Kirk and Ray. BFF.
Kirk has come a long way, thanks to the teachings of this guy who tries his best to ignore his gay urges when
preaching to gay people and not realizing that's odd. Anyway, Kirk and Ray made a video together, entitled
How to Witness to Someone who is Gay.
The important question is, with all the wisdom these two have accumulated,
are there good results for this video against gay people? Well, we can't confirm
this clip
came from the gay-oriented video they made, but judge for yourself:
How Ray Recruits the Gay

I especially like the explanation of the "ease of entry."
Judge not, lest you used the Ten Commandments to try your best not to be gay first. If you were a major religion,
I wonder which would be worse to have: terrorists making you look bad, a reputation of generating sitar hookah hippies,
or these two guys in any capacity. Hmm.
