This is shocking. Looks like some kind of voodoo, and someone is making money here.
It’s digusting and it needs to be followed up, especially now that the video is out. Somebody is calling out for help.
McKinney’s credentials need to be checked out. Awful stuff.

Thank you all for your comments. Obviously we may agree to disagree on the subject of beliefs and principles, but ultimately it is the way we interact with others in real life that make the difference.
Everything is measured by the results, and what happened is a nightmarish outcome indeed… real life twisted in the name of an old theory.

@Nathan – you said Christian’s wouldn’t even think about hurting anyone? Are you serious or just sleep through the world history? Have you ever heard of the Crusades? The expansion of “Christianity” was anything but peacefull…convert or be killed. More people have died in the “name of god” than from any other single reason. Give me a break – Christian’s wouldn’t hurt anyone….they say they love you just as they pull the knife out of your back!

Morgan: People would generally describe me as being ‘of faith’ (though I’m not a Christian per se).

A certain degree of skepticism about the supernatural is normal (and personally, I’d argue, good) for a person who isn’t a fundamentalist about their faith.

Kari,
“Al, well said”

Many of us people of faith including myself respect atheism as a belief that people have a right to and do not call it “myths or silly.” People are on their own journeys in life and those journeys in faith or atheism that may not be necessarily your own or mine.

Neither atheism or faith “own common sense” as they are issues of the heart and of the spirit as well as of the mind.

Al and Morgan. I would love to be able to nail your messages to the door of every house of worship in the world. If the messages were taken to heart and practiced so many of the worlds human relations problems would, over time, vanish.

But, of course, the messages are too simple and that in itself would keep them from being followed. It would take away the opportunity to control others and there are too many would love the ability to control others. How terribly sad.

Omit – “We believe a man should be with a woman and a woman should be with a man.”

Replace with – “We believe a person should be with another person”
