Comments on: Northern Cape pastor claims to “pray the gay away” https://www.mambaonline.com/2023/05/17/northern-cape-pastor-claims-to-pray-the-gay-away/ South Africa's leading LGBTQ news and community platform Wed, 06 Dec 2023 20:09:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Bart https://www.mambaonline.com/2023/05/17/northern-cape-pastor-claims-to-pray-the-gay-away/#comment-1146946 Wed, 06 Dec 2023 20:09:02 +0000 https://www.mambaonline.com/?p=112544#comment-1146946 Wow I’ve yet to find a more biased article on the internet with more presupposing and no basis therefore. Truly one of the most terrible written articles. To say “which is based on the false belief that homosexuality is immoral, an illness, or a deviation” one would assume that the writer would make a least a single argument as to what he bases morality on amd why he believes homosexuality to be moral.

One also hopes you would get an explanation as to how Rooies is wrong about autism, rather that saying “appears to not be aware that autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain” and assuming that the writer can contribute these “differences” to everything BUT demons. I’m not saying rooies is right. But the writer is clearly not using his own brain, we expect journalists to use their brains.

But no that’s not what we get. Just a bashing without substance.

Why is there no safe place for people whose parents would be willing to send them to this guy to be “corrected”? Then again, can we actually be trusted to support young people in desperate circumstances to get them on their feet or would these spaces just operate like those wealthy pensioners in the city who always have some young, desperate guy rejected by his family to exploit? So many gay guys are wealthy, the community could certainly fund some kind of support? FUCK!
