Excerpt From Matt Taibbi's New Book on Christian Right
Came across this while crawling through the interwebs tonight.
""Let me ask you a question," he said. "Why do alcoholics give birth to alcoholics? Why do the fatherless give birth to the fatherless?" He paused. "There are some people out there who will tell you it's genetics. It's in our genes, they say. Well, I tell you, it's not genetics. It's a generational curse!"
Fortenberry then started in on a rant against science and against scientific explanations for cycles of sin. "Take homosexuals," he said. "Every single homosexual is a sexual-abuse victim. They are not born. They are created — by pedophiles."
The crowd swallowed that one whole."
The rest of the chapter can be found at http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/20278737/jesus_made_me_puke/print
Definitely going to be the next book I read, once I finish Infidel.
