Wednesday’s Religion News Roundup: Angus Jones’ apology. Anti-gay Jewish center sued. Godbaby.

Angus Jones apologizes. Jewish counseling center sued over gay therapy. Godbaby, and "our Lord and Savior, Barack Obama." 

The “half” of “Two and a Half Men” issued a whole big apology yesterday after calling the show unbiblical “filth” in an online testimony about his conversion to Seventh-day Adventism.

“I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed,” said Angus T. Young, 19, who is paid a whopping $350,000 per episode.

Christopher Hudson, the self-proclaimed prophet who posted Young's testimony on YouTube, said: “If Angus were to continue on this show, to be half a man, people would think he was a cool guy, fine. If he takes a stand and says he wants to be pure and like Jesus Christ, then he’s lost his mind.”
