While this may be a hoax, I think it is something that should happen and on a regular basis and in different ways. I am one of those people feels the need to apologize for those who give Christianity a bad name. People of faith should be finding different ways to be supportive and say I'm sorry. My church for example, marches every year in San Diego Pride. We do this because want everyone to know there is a place where all are welcome, where we will not seduce you with acceptance and then try to change you, etc.
As an assistant pastor, I have lost track of the number of people I've encountered who have left their faith not because they have discovered another path in their spirituality but because of how they have been spiritually abused/exploited.
I have to head out to services and other tasks for today but I will be come back. Good discussion.
