Christian Group Says Demon Sex Makes You Gay

A Christian magazine warns that homosexuality is caused by sex with demons. And that's just the beginning.

Occasionally this involves the following questionable use of public resources, as Wilson writes, "Components of the prayer-walking and demon-deliverance ideology are being incorporated into the police practices of Orlando, Florida and Peoria, Illinois, in novel and factually challenged efforts that partner local Christian churches with police departments of those cities; teams of church members, with police backup for safety, walk high-crime areas and try to pray down violent crime and murder rates."

But why stop there? Bruce Wilson has documented the massive global effort of the international Transformation network, linked to the larger NAR project. Characteristically, participants in the ITN believe homosexuality is caused by demons that must be eradicated. "The ITN is one of several global efforts operating under the 'transformation' brand, that are re-engineering  along theocratic lines cities and even entire nations." writes Wilson.

They have taken a particular interest in Uganda. "For the Transformation movement, which claims homosexuals are possessed by demons and that prayer and faith healing have cured thousands of HIV and AIDS cases in the nation, Uganda is a prototype."

"For over a year ITN representatives have been at work to setting up a training network spanning  approximately 14,000 evangelical churches in Uganda, and ITN's head Africa representative states."
