Azariah Southworth, Popular Christian TV Host, Announces He Is Gay

Out & About Newspaper:

Local Nashvillian and host of The Remix, a popular Christian youth show, Azariah Southworth, announced today that he has come out.

"This has been a long time coming. I'm in a place where I'm at peace with my faith, friends, family and more importantly myself. I know this will end my career in Christian television, but I must now live my life openly and honestly with everyone. This is my reason for doing this," Southworth says.

Southworth has been hosting and producing the popular Christian TV show, The Remix for a year and a half. It is in syndication and can be seen in more than 128 million homes worldwide. It averages more than 200,000 viewers weekly on one of three networks. It has featured major Christian acts such as Jars of Clay, Avalon, Superchick, Building 429 and Rachael Lampa.

Southworth has been featured in national publications such as Charisma Magazine and many other national Christian media outlets.

"I know I will be cut off from many within the Christian community, and if so, then they didn't get the point of the life of Christ. I believe by me living my life honestly and authentically now, I am able to be a better person and a better Christian. We all know there are so many other gay people in the Christian industry; they're just all scared. I was scared, but now I'm no longer afraid," notes Southworth.

Good for him. No one should have to live in the closet. Be proud of who you are. God has nothing to do with anything. God does not exist - only in people's minds.

As yourself this question: Would God ever allow George Bush to be president? I think not.
Question answered.

Please provide proof God does not exist, that would be a big story.

Can't feel, hear or see God. Now "you" prove one exists.

Biglover did give proof when they said "As yourself this question: Would God ever allow George Bush to be president? I think not. Question answered."

Think it through - Would God ever allow George Bush to be president?

[pdferguson]

Please provide a detailed, irrefutable definition of God which can be subjected to the question of existence, that would be a bigger story.

He believes he'll lose his job because he admits to who he has sex with. What an indictment of the so-called "Christian" faith.

Jesus said ".. and the truth shall make you free."

Jesus and god are imaginary.

Jesus likely isn't imaginary. The G-d imagined by so-called "Christians" is imaginary.
