The great Jesus scam.

I think I've been too hard on Kirk Cameron. Maybe he isn't the religious nut he seems to be. Maybe he's a very good con man. Think about it. You have this kind of dippy twerp whose only shot at fame was this mediocre sitcom. He's cute, yeah, but not a great actor. Sort of a poor man's Tony Dow.  Then in 1992, the show is cancelled and he's going to be a nobody. How can he stay in the limelight?  Inspiration! Many people know that he's an atheist. So why not become a born-again Christian? But how to get attention. Why not use the Ann Coulter method of showboating. Say something nasty and outrageous. Vilify homosexuals. This will serve two purposes. It will cause angry conversation. And it might distract people from all those assignations in Kirk's dressing room. It's perfect. It's been 22 years since the show was cancelled, and Kirk is still in the news, instead of being a washed-up pretty boy. Brilliant.
