Via Timothy Kincaid over  at Box Turtle Bulletin…  Dr. Joe Nicolosi of NARTH will be lecturing in London on June 22-23, 2007 on the subject of The Time for Truth – is gay real?

A conference for professional counsellors and therapists, pastoral care givers, church leaders, and those who are dealing with or affected by homosexuality.

Contact: Dr Lisa Nolland

NB. Dr Nicolosi will take a scientific rather than an explicitly Christian approach.

And a good thing that is too, since you folks probably don’t want to hear from any Christians on this matter, do you?  Or does this no longer apply…?

Thou shalt bear no false witness against thy neighbor. 

The evidence that biology, genetics in part, perhaps development in the womb in part, determines sexual orientation is now so overwhelming even the mainstream news media can see it too.  How else to explain the older brother effect, and that it only works for right handed boys?  Yet Nicolosi persists in his junk science dogma that male homosexuality is caused by a poor father/son relationship.  So why are these ersatz men of god inviting this quack to speak to them about homosexuality, and not a real scientist?

Simple.  It comforts them to know that they’re beating on people who in at least some sense, choose to be homosexual.  Let us have the pseudo science that tells us homosexuality is caused by a broken family relationship, rather then the honest science that tells us it is simple random biology that is neither chosen nor changeable…because the pseudo science allows us to blame homosexuals for not seeking treatment for their condition, because the pseudo science allows us to keep blaming the homosexuals for every evil thing we do to them, in the name of Christ, in the name of love.  Nicolosi helps them shift the blame for all the pain and heartbreak they have ever brought down on the lives of gay men and women, onto their victims.  Nicolosi will come to them as a man of science, and they, the men of God, will wash, wash their hands of every wrong they’ve ever done to innocent lovers in his junk science, and lift those hands in praise afterward.  Then they’ll take up their holy clubs, and start beating on gay people again in completely clear conscience.
