Hate In the Desert

I was over at rightwingwatch.org and found the following little gem:

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/god-commands-you-kill-gays

This man is calling for the outright murder of GLBTQ people. How do these people just accept what wingnuts like this "pastor" say and not realise that murder is murder is murder...and how about Jesus' statement that if you have murder in your heart it is still murder?

I live in the Phoenix area and I am very concerned that this individual is allowed to spew this level of hatred and bgotry. My spouse and I tend to stay home but with this going on I don't even know if I'd want to go out to a gay restaurant or bar. I feel that one day, one or more of his wingnut parishioners is going to go off the deep end and beat or kill one or more LGBTQ people.

I get asked why LGBTQ people tend to be "down" on Christianity--could it be that they have only recently begun to accept that we have rights to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness? Mmmmm....could be.

Individuals like this "pastor" aren't really interested in preaching the word of God..all they want to do is to drive LGBTQ people back into their closets.
