Ben Farais, founder of Holy Fire Ministries, thinks he has a handle on the reason people are gay and he chalks it up to possession by fart demons. No, that’s not a typo, Farais, claims that same-sex couples who engage in sexual activity become possessed by putrid smelling demons. Indeed, these demons smell so bad that the mere whiff of their foul odor will drive pigs to commit suicide.
To support his argument, Farais uses a Bible story about Jesus casting 2,000 demons from a man. These demons exited the man screaming and asked Jesus to send them to the pigs. The pigs, however, didn’t seem to want these demons, so rather then accept the possession, they trotted down to the sea and drown themselves.
This leads to Farais’s theory that pigs are more sensible then humans who embrace homosexual demons. He also added that he knows someone who was allowed to smell a fart demon, and it gave him an upset stomach.
Farias also subscribes to the common theory used in many Christian congregational pulpits that holds that the United States is in the final stages of decay due to its growing acceptance of homosexuality. There will, of course, be severe consequences for this continued tolerance of life-styles that don’t fit into the mold favored by Holy Fire Ministries.
