Religious trick of the day: we don't like x, thus x doesn't exist 

A blog that I used to read avidly, Ex-Gay Watch, seems to have fallen through the crack of the many, many aggregators that I've been using. Still, I've decided to subscribe and so should you.

An example of why you should read this blog is the excellent post from the other day entitled Exodus' Healing Message to Homosexuals: You Don't Exist.

And with this, we see an example of an old-fashioned trick that religious people play. If you pick up a book on the history of atheism, you'll often see that the early responses to atheism consisted simply of denial. "Atheists don't exist".

Of course, we did actually exist, but the thought was too terrifying for people to admit out loud. But still, this kind of nonsense still carries on through to today. Ray Comfort (the idiot from that stupid banana video) over at Christian Answers.net argues that since we don't know everything that anyone who says their an atheist is a liar. Yeah, follow that logic.

Exodus International seem to believe that homosexuals don't exist. So why is their ineffective and borderline abusive racket still running? Well, tax relief? Why, also, are politicians battling the imaginary "homosexual agenda" if there are no homosexuals to run the agenda?
