Christian conservative Bert Farias of
Holy Fire Ministries claims being gay is a “putrid smelling demon”
that even pigs have the sense to reject.
“Yes, you heard me right,” Farias
wrote in a post published on Charisma Magazine's website. “Being
gay is demonic.”
Farias begged gay people to “please
do not get upset with me” for telling “the raw, naked truth about
homosexuality,” which he promised would “help” them.
Being gay, he said, is a choice that
“opens a person to the demonic.”
“Here's the raw, naked truth:
Homosexuality is actually a demon spirit. It is such a putrid
smelling demon that other demons don't even like to hang around it,”
he wrote. “A genuine prophet of God told me that the Lord allowed
him to smell this demon spirit, and he got sick to his stomach. And
yet as humans, many embrace this demon. Yes, you heard me right.
Being gay is demonic.”
“There is an account in the Bible
where Jesus casts out 2,000 demons out of a man. The demons came out
screaming and begged Jesus to send them into the pigs. The pigs
didn't want them, so they ran down a steep hill and were drowned in
the sea. Pigs have more sense than some humans. People embrace
homosexual demons, but the pigs would rather die than be possessed
with demons.”
After stating that being gay was wrong
because two men or two women cannot procreate, Farias added:
“Homosexuality is not new. It's been around for thousands of
years. It's as old as the devil himself.”
