He’s really irritable isn’t he? Just like his CNN interview.
If he is supposed to counsel parents and children, where is his compassion? I’m surprised he didn’t bring a cattle prod on the show. I think he was more angered by the fact that the mom did NOT fit his stereotype. And this blaming the parent thing has got to go. Imagine if this type of show were done during the Middle Ages … they would be blaming the parent’s sin for their child’s blindness.
What is sad is that Nicolosi can not accept the fact that a loving and caring God can make someone be attracted to the same sex and that somehow this attraction can be a good and wholesome thing. That not everyone is destined to find someone of the opposite sex, marry, and reproduce. That people can be born with gender issues, and that it is not a mistake but rather a part of that person’s identity.
But again, it goes back to what kind of God one worships. If you worship a God of love, who requires those who worship to love as well, then you see the world as a mystery in which we are revealed new ways and means to love God and one another. If you worship a God whom you must fear at all times, then you not only fear God but others and even yourself. And that fear turns to hate. (And yes, I know in the Bible there are verses that say we must “fear” the Lord…and I can explain my views on that later).
I guess irritability is in the eye of the beholder. Yes, Nicolosi and his comarade were somewhat uptight, but seriously, that lady was a condescending b—-. I don’t care if she has a GID child, there is just no excuse for acting so dismissive of anybody who happens to hold a contrary view. And her “parenting expert” was not much better.
So we have a case where the “intolerant” folks actually end up looking tolerant by comparison.
Nicolosi has a bit of a history popping off like that.
