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.

And again a form of racism is used to make the working class fight each other.

I don't think bloodthirsty evangelicals understand that the shedding of blood can go both ways.

How long until it's relieved he's paying for gay prostitutes or touching kids?

Being some flavor of evangelical who raves about "groomers" seems to be the best predictor of being an actual groomer I've seen so far.

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.

"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!"

Well MY BIBLE says anyone with the sur name Falco was intended to be fertilizer, not a person with rights or opinions.

See how that doesn’t work you heartless moronic ghouls?

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.

But, you know, if someone were to take matters in their own hands, we'll just wash out hands in innocence and act like we didn't do anything

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.

History has shown that churches such as these often find themselves in ashes after all is said and done. History has shown this.

Well, I hereby urge Trump to execute Stephen Falco, the evangelical preacher with the Sure Foundation Baptist Church. He believes in a demonic version of God that creates LGBT people and them judges them harshly for it. He in fact does not actually worship God, he worships the Devil. And he will burn in Hell for eternity for it. He's therefore a heretic and demon worshiper, and he deserves to be executed for blaspheming the good name of the Creator. I believe the traditional punishment is burning at the stake.

If he can advocate my execution, then I can damn well advocate for his.

So, he's going to be prosecuted for inciting violence and making threats, right?

These fuckos should go into one of their classrooms and view the state mandated list of commandments for what NUMBER FUCKING SIX is. These are not real Christians, or real Catholics, or even real people. If you lack the most basic tenets of humanity how do you call yourself a human? You KNOW if anybody else stepped up to the mic and said all evangelical leaders who shamelessly, GLEEFULLY exploit and extort personal wealth from their 'flock' while rocking a pure white demonic smile should be parted with the entirety of their skin and thrown in salt pits in the desert to await their God, they would probably have some shit to say. What's good for the Goose and such...

Edit: religious illiteracy showing.

Whenever I encounter someone advocating for the Ten Commandments, I always ask them to name all ten. Nobody ever gets them all.

It's interesting, and by interesting I mean horrifying, that these outspoken hateful religious leaders assume that just because gay people give in to the homosexual desires everybody obviously has, they will also give in to the pedophilia that everybody obviously has.
