Lifesitenews article: An exercise in confirmation bias

Yesterday, Lifesitenews published an article complaining about me. Many of the complains are recycled from Peter LaBarbera’s website and a OneNewsNow article.

Also, Dr. Nicolosi, co-founder of NARTH does not discourage homosexual behavior in his clients. UPDATE: Jim Brown at ONN published a follow up article to the one … Continue reading “Losing my religion? That’s news to me…”
