This is the two hundredth and first installment in The Sounds of Fundamentalism series. This is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a video clip that shows the crazy, cantankerous, or contradictory side of Evangelical Christianity, please send me an email with the name or link to the video. Please do not leave suggestions in the comment section. Let’s have some fun!
Today’s Sound of Fundamentalism is a video clip of IFB evangelist and pastor Phil Kidd telling a church congregation that vaccinations turn boys into emasculated, crossdressing homosexuals. Kidd is the pastor of Emmaus Baptist Church in Kingsport, Tennessee.

Not a scientist. Not a doctor. So shut up.
Kids don’t commit suicide because they “don’t know if they are a boy or a girl.” They do it because they can’t deal with social and family rejection, condemnation and outright hate towards the person they perceive themselves to be.
wow. it is scary listening to the people agreeing w/him. I used to sit in church and hear agreement w/all kinds of crazy stuff. how can people tolerate and follow these idiots w/all the knowledge and free access to knowledge we have? I guess they just put on blinders and pretend?
