Promiscuity, as well as homosexuality and pornography, says 73 year-old Fr. Jeremy Davies, is a form of sexual perversion and can lead to demonic possession. Offering what may be an explanation for the explosion of homosexuality in recent years, Fr. Davies said, "Among the causes of homosexuality is a contagious demonic factor."

"Among the causes of homosexuality is a contagious demonic factor."
Yes. If you call birth a "contagious demonic factor". Which, if I know your dogma correctly, is not too far from the mark...

...Fr. Davies said, "Among the causes of homosexuality is a contagious demonic factor."
Is the contagion spread through the air, through physical contacat, or through bodily fluids? What research methodolgy did you use to isolate the contagion?
So you can't get laid by guys or gals, so don't want anyone else to.
Typical fundie. You can't have it, so slap demon label on it.
He must really hate living in the UK, what with the gay getting married(*) and the laws protecting them against homophobic twats.
(* well civil unions, but over here they are marriage by another name.)
when did hte clock run back to 1008 CE?
I don't know what it is, but the proliferstion of people believing in demons seems to be increasing, or more are being identified becuase of teh internet. Still, it's worrying that humanity csan't get away from the "fear in the dark" psychosis.

The more it looks like homosexuality is an inborn genetic trait, the crazier the fundie denials get. The just can deal with the idea that "god" might have made some people gay, After all, they hate gays, so therefore "god" must hate them too
And how long have they been spreading something that:
a)either it's a sin, which means that they have free will and, therefore, no demons involved?
b)it's natural and can't help having it, in the same fashion as six fingers(and they're not supposed to be demonic)?.
c)that coming out is not synonymous with feeling attracted towards the same sex(many homosexuals recur to celibacy)
The demon theory. Use in case of emergency.
This is a repeat, no?
Fr. Jeremy is attention-seeking. There is no explosion of homosexuals. They may become more visible, but the numbers remain fairly constant. Now stop the homophobic scare-mongering and remember that according to Jeremy's own church even homosexuals are children of god - assuming he exists. God, not Jeremy.
Sexual perversion can lead to demonic possession? I thought it was supposed to be the other way round. First the demon, then the perversion.
And indeed that is what this mad priest says in his last sentence.
If he's confused, imagine my plight.
fergus
It's true, I myself remember noticing a large increase in the number of people possessed by the gay demon (or gaymon as I like to call it). You remember ?? It was around the time our society started to become more tolerant of those who are different. Just around the time it became less acceptable to kick someone to death for admitting to homosexual urges. I don't know how that demon started getting into so many people but it sure got around.
This is a looney thing because now the Vatican, the boss so to say, is saying now that exorcism has fallen out considerably and that most cases are rejected because they turn out to be, in fact, asperger syndrome, epilepsy, etc...............who am I to believe now?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
