Chris Christie’s ‘Deeply Religious Sex Cult’?

http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/chris-christies-deeply-religious-sex-cult/politics/2013/08/30/74230

by DAVID BADASH on AUGUST 30, 2013




New Jersey governor Chris Christie is a progressive who is apparently, unwittingly, leading a “deeply religious sex cult determined to exterminate Christian mores, attack religious liberties, and suppress free speech,” according to the latest screed by a radical religious right-wing conservative writer. Christie, you and even he will be shocked to learn, has “put New Jersey on a path similar to countries like Saudi Arabia,” because he recently signed a law banning so-called “ex-gay” therapy for minors. All this comes from the radical religious right-wing conservative writer Fay Voshell at the dubiously-monikered American Thinker, in her latest op-ed, “Conversion Therapy Law Threatens Christians.”

The American Thinker, by the way, has also published actual well-known radical right wing conservatives (as opposed to Voshell, of whom practically no one has heard), like hate mongers Ann Coulter and Michael Savage. Savage’s “work” is so savage that the good people of the United Kingdom have barred him from entering their fine country since 2009, for allegedly “seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred.” Ann Coulter’s “work” is so savage the mere sound of her voice — or name — sends shivers akin to nails on a blackboard down many people’s spines.

For her part, Voshell likens the ban on “conversion therapy” to Islam’s ban on allowing its (un)faithful to convert to Christianity. As is well-known, so-called “ex-gay,” “reparative,” or “conversion” therapies — as part of the larger group of antediluvian and draconian sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) — have been deemed psychologically harmful and ineffective by every major medical organization. No word yet on any potential psychological harm caused by conversion from one religion to another.

Governor Christie “expressly forbade conversion from the prevailing progressive religion, whose chief doctrine is that sexual behavior, including the homoerotic behavior of some children, is a sacred, infallible, and therefore unchangeable indicator of what human identity entails,” Voshell curiously claims.
