(Male) Married (to a woman) Youth Pastor Father of Four Caught Raping and Molesting Several Little Boys claims the molesting kept the boys sexually pure and cures them of homosexuality
Conservative Christians like to adhere to the stereotype that unmarried adults over the age of 30, especially the never married ones, are weirdos, selfish, ungodly, or sexual reprobates – when a segment of singles are VIRGINS (they have not engaged in sexual activity) and are hard working, mature, and godly.
Many conservative Christians also assume that becoming a parent automatically makes an individual mature, responsible, and caring.
Conservative Christians also like to feed propaganda to single Christians (usually teenagers and college aged students) that if they only stay a virgin until marriage, that the sex will be “mind blowing.”
(“Mind blowing” is usually the descriptive phrase of choice by conservative Christians who write blogs and books about sexual purity. It’s not my choice of words.)
Not only do I have posts on this blog of copies of news articles about wives who admit they were virgins on their wedding night and that the honeymoon (and beyond) sex was terrible, but some of them say their husbands never want to have sex any more – so they are no longer having sex.
Now, if it were true that saving sex until marriage made the sex great and that one would be sexually satisfied with one’s own spouse, and if it were true the marriage automatically makes a person more godly, responsible, and holy, why do I keep finding stories like this one below, of a married Christian man, who worked as a preacher, who fondled and raped little boys repeatedly?

Iowa pastor and youth counselor Brent Girouex, who claimed with a straight face that he was trying to “cure” teenage boys of their “homosexual urges” by having sex with them, has had his sentence reduced from 17 years in prison to sex offender treatment and probation.
Since Girouex confessed to having sex with four underage boys, eight additional young men have come forward saying they were sexually violated by the 31-year-old pastor. Girouex, who is not longer a pastor at the Victory Fellowship Church, believed that he could rape away the gay by “praying while he had sexual contact” with the boys, all in an effort to keep them “sexually pure” for God.
According to reports, he told police that “when they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind.”
Girouex, a married father of four, has had a fair share of backlash since he publicly made his disturbing practices known. One of his most ardent opponents is his wife Erin, who has spoken out against both him and the reduced sentence he received after the initial 17 years he was to serve in prison.

Man says the act prohibited homosexual urges
By Rick Couri
31 year old Brent Girouex was arrested on 60 counts of suspicion of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist.
The former youth counselor told police he did it to “help with homosexual urges by praying while he had sexual contact with [them].”
He claimed the acts would give his victims “sexual purity.”
Making matters even worse, Girouex has four children of his own and now his estranged wife Erin is speaking out against him now.
Girouex admitted having sexual relations with at least four young men but as many as eight have now stepped forward claiming abuse.
The man told cops one of his relationships lasted four years and there was “mutual” contact 25 to 50 times.
The victim is an adult now, he told police the real number was between 50 and 100 times.
Several of the victims told investigators the encounters with the former Council Bluffs, Iowa youth pastor took place at Girouex’s house.
Girouex is said to have told detectives “when they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind.”
Last week a judge handed down a 17-year prison sentence but promptly suspended it to allow Girouex to get sex offender treatment and probation.
As long as Girouex doesn’t violate the terms of his probation, he won’t do any jail time.
