10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
When asked to respond to Falco's inflammatory remarks, the church said in a statement that the preacher was "only calling for the death penalty and suicide for the actual sodomites (homosexuals). The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands."
This is the "reserved" and "compromise" position in their eyes.
reminder: these fascists assholes are not human. they give up all humanity when they actively choose to become or remain within this trump nazi cult. so when we say “nazis are not human” we are not dehumanizing them; they did it to themselves.
these fuckwits need prison. all of them.
Nah, they need to be executed. If it's legal for them to say gay people should be executed, it's legal for me to say they should be executed.
They are human. Hatred and cruelty is part of who we as humans are. The better among us are supposed to keep the monsters in check. We failed.
Never mind that the story they are referencing is about the importance of hospitality. It would be more accurate to say that the Bible is saying to kill ICE agents.
"The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands."
Ah yes, Jesus was famously pro-death penalty as long as only the state was enforcing it.
Well yeah, Jesus had first hand experience in the state enforcing the death penalty.
First hands, then feet.
And he turned out just fine!!
Someone really should investigate that preacher because there is a near 100% chance he is a pedophile.
In a sermon titled, "Pray the Gay Away," Stephen Falco, an evangelical preacher with the Sure Foundation Baptist Church, yelled from the pulpit, "They're all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, 'No, you're not going to have our children!'"
What a disgusting message. I wouldn’t be sad if this sack of shit got hit by a bus.
As the Bible states, "be the bus you wish to see in the world"
One day, sooner than later, we're going to have to deal with the American Taliban.
I hope everyone here is aware that fascism has now taken hold in America and never before in the history of mankind has fascism stepped down when politely asked to do so.
It has always required force.
As an LGBTQ+ American, I urge such evangelicals to execute themselves.
They're all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, 'No, you're not going to have our children!'
Statistically, a child is at greater risk of being sexually abused by a preacher than a member of the LGBT community
Right, pick and choose the parts of the Bible that you like. That way its exactly as cruel as you want it to be...
This is something that will eventually Happen. It is already is happening “underground” they just use loopholes to get people killed. Look at the king of hill guy. That’s not just a one off thing. It’s social manipulation. It’s not just happening to them. They know what they are doing. We are already in a social psychological civil war, and it’s not random crazies… it’s people manipulated to go crazy, whether it’s someone murdering, suicides, or pressure that makes someone commit crimes so they end up in prison. This is America.
This isn’t a church. It is a PAC that is doing this. If you buy Chick Fil A they are whom you are supporting.
What a shithole country.

Normal people don't look at others and think "they want our children [sexually]." 🤮 I'm unaware of any proof that LGBTQ+ folks prey on kids at higher rates than cishet predators. They need to check this guy's computer and keep him away from children...
"It's a good thing that our current situation couldn't get any worse."
Situation: [gets worse]
My supervisor is a lesbian who proudly introduces people to her wife, and she is as rabid a Trumper as I've ever met. I've tried to introduce her to the "Leopards Eating People's Faces Party" concept but she doesn't understand the point. She has somehow concluded that it is Republicans who have fought for and won gay rights (like the right to marry that she's a beneficiary of) while Democrats want to take those rights away. I don't have any idea how somebody gets to a mental state like that - I can't accuse her of drinking the Kool-Aid because no Republican media says anything like that.
She really hates black people so her basic conservative stance is at least understandable. Except that she talks loudly about how she wants to bang the black guy that delivers our water bottles.
Remove their tax-exempt status. The distinct separation of church and state should prevent this murderous group of sycophants from tax-free status.
Did Jesus ever say a single word about LGBTQIA+ issues ever?
Morgan Freeman voice: He didn't.
So, he's going to be prosecuted for inciting violence and making threats, right?
We often point out how modern christians would crucify Jesus again today, but they also hate listening to what he said in the Bible. Take the plank out of your own eyes you sorry excuses for people.
Why single out gays? It also says to kill adulterers, stubborn children, women who aren't virgins when they marry, people who work on the Sabbath, and mediums who talk to the dead.
It also says when a woman has her period she should take 2 pigeons and burn them as sacrifice. Which I do every month OBVIOUSLY
"Christianity is a modern, tolerant, peace loving religion! Not like those other ones!"
5 minutes in to Christian theocratic control
"KILL THE UNDESIRABLES! THEY OFFEND THE CHRISTIAN GOD'S BLESSED EYES!"
Historically, the demographic most likely to sexually assault children is straight men.
Does that mean we should kill all the straight men?
Tax churches, make them keep playing the victim when they need to justify just how much they are fleecing from their congregation
these people quote whatever the fuck pleases them today.
the bible literally says to feed the poor and house the homeless and these fucks don't mention it with a word
it's literally just a way to manipulate lots of people in whatever way the rulers prefer
"walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children"
someone's projecting
