The movie ‘Borat’ (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) was a hit a couple of years ago where he duped some nice church people with his shenanigans. He’s back, but this time as the flamboyant homosexual ‘Bruno’. A few of those he duped - speak out. Below are two pastors -
Victim: Dr. Paul Cameron, chairman of the Family Research Institute, Colorado
Scene: Bruno comes to him for advice on going straight.
"I did a German thing a year ago. Is that this? I wondered what had happened to that. I'm in this bloody film? Well, I'll be jiggered. I guess you never can believe when people are in distress.
"I had to go to Kansas City. I was told that this chap was a homosexual in Germany, had a popular TV program in Germany, was perhaps suicidal and wanted to . And I was supposed to see if I could help him in some way.
His producer was telling people what to do. He'd say, 'Here's the setting. This will be your office. He'll come in, give him the kinds of advice that will be useful for him.' It took about two and a half, three hours. To put it mildly, a few of his questions seemed strange. When he tried to sit by me and he wanted to give me a **** job, that kind of stuff pushed it.
"If it's a gag, it was pretty well staged. I'll be another laughing stock. Oh, well."
[B]Victim: Pastor Jody Trautwein, Alabama
Scene: Trautwein counsels Bruno on how he can become straight.
"I was first contacted on Jan. 30, 2009, by a gentleman named Todd Lewis, claiming to be with Amesbury Chase Productions. He wanted to see if I was interested in participating in a documentary revealing the conservative, moral values of America. I asked him how he received my information, and he told me he Googled 'biblical traditional marriage.'
"Mr. Lewis revealed that he had a young man who said he was ready to come out of the homosexual lifestyle. I traveled to Huntsville to meet him at [a] home they had temporarily converted into a television set decorated as a counseling office. After two hours of counseling, I asked Bruno if he was ready to give his heart to Jesus, and he told me he wasn't ready to pray the prayer yet.
"Having counseled those that have been in the homosexual lifestyle and understanding the perversion and deception that accompany that lifestyle, I did not think him that unusual. I had encountered those things before.
"Recently, I began to see Bruno appearing on previews and realized it was the man I sat with. I tried to contact Todd Lewis by leaving a voice mail. No reply came, and now his name is no longer on the voice mail.
"No one likes to be deceived. But the bottom line was, whether it was Bruno or the man I now know as Sacha Baron Cohen, I knew that the truth of God's word was going straight into his heart. I pray God has mercy on Sacha Baron Cohen."
