Evangelical group wants gays removed from anti-lynching bill

https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/evangelical-group-wants-gays-removed-anti-lynching-bill-n956831


The U.S. Senate last month unanimously passed a bill that would explicitly make lynching a federal crime. Not everyone, however, is pleased with passage of the Justice for Victims of Lynching Act.

Liberty Counsel, an evangelical nonprofit that opposes gay rights, and its chairman, Mat Staver, are taking issue with the bill’s inclusion of LGBTQ people.

Evangelicals never fail to be as evil as possible. They certainly don’t worship any kind and loving god.

propose removing such ignorant hate groups from having any say in anyone else's life.

I was talking with my daughter today. One of her friends is studying to be a minister. He is also getting his master's in social work. He is gay. My daughter said that her friend has been met with ignorance in his church, with people who do not think a gay man should be a minister. I told her that this is rooted more in their psychological problems than any sincere religious belief.

Incredible.

Hey, Evangelicals! I've actually read the Bible. Can you show me the verse where Jesus condemns homosexuality? Don't worry, I'll wait.

Hypocrites.

They are always claiming they can't wait to get to heaven. That would help them on their way.

See? We can all play that game. Let's just all go around lynching people that we don't like. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

WTF is wrong with these people? They might as well come right out and say that they want a legal right to murder gay people and once they get it, they plan to act on it. They are sick, hateful people. There is nothing Christian about them.
