The Best Lesson I Learned From Mister Rogers

Life Lessons of a Loving Gay Christian “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” was a 30-minute television show that captivated young audiences in America from 1968–2001 (33 years!). True enough.

Conversion therapy is a cruel hoax — Prosperity Theology “Prosperity theology” asserts that God has a contract with humans. If the human provides enough faith, God will deliver health and wealth. Faith, in this case, means maintaining the right identity, “leaps of faith,” and charitable donations. Doesn’t it seem a tad cruel to tell someone deeply suffering that God…
