The Osteens's prayer: "God, I hope he's not gay?"
Listen as Joel describes homosexuality as, among other things, "not God's best." Even though he admits he "doesn't have all the answers," somehow he knows enough to classify homosexuality as "not God's best;" and compared to what? Joel does not say.
When pressed about what counsel he'd give members of his 'flock' about "gay marriage," Joel continues, "I would never encourage it, because...you know...I didn't make the rules, but if you go back to the Scripture, it talks about, you know; it's all...seen throughout the whole Bible that marriage is between a man and woman; so I just wouldn't encourage it. I couldn't, in good faith--you know, lettin' the Bible be my guide, encourage them in that."
Gosh, the way Joel squirms is enough to make you wonder why he's so squimish.
