(Oh, the love of a christian religion. So loving, so disgusting, yep, spreading the hatred from Jesus and God I guess ... and Republican Family Values.)

The pastor who delivered the invocation at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R) second inauguration has said that gay people should be put to death.

Tom Ascol — senior pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida — made his comment on Twitter while criticizing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). On Monday, Cruz issued a tweet criticizing Uganda’s new “Anti-Homosexuality Act,” a law that punishes “aggravated homosexuality” with death.

18. My response would ramp that up a bit

And dial it to 11 and that's not a bell that can be unrung.

4. He's Catholic. Someone should ask his priest

about that statement. I’d love a religious cat fight.

28. Ascol lead his invocation, that doesn't make him

DeSantis’ preacher. DeSantis and wife are Catholic.

[mountain grammy]

30. Yes they are

Sorry. Thought you meant the preacher.

5. May he, and his enablers, receive everything they deserve.

9. Will the media play videos of his pastor 24/7 ala Reverend Wright during Obama years? Nt

[keep_left]

14. Yep. We need the far-right version of a "Sister Souljah Moment".

It's about fucking time.

[multigraincracker]

11. Will he get there early to

cast the first stone?

[RKP5637]

15. Probably and with Meatball Ron DeNazi by his side. n/t

[LuckyCharms]

17. There's no greater "hate" than Christian "love".

[RKP5637]

19. Exactly, very well said. Cults of hatred. n/t

27. I'm so glad you are still here!!

22. Self-righteous piece of shit.

23. as*wipe

How surprising, another old white guy posing in front of books purchased at a used book store.

[kacekwl]

24. He should read some

of them fancy books behind him. Dumb ass.

[3catwoman3]

25. Which one of those pesky commandments...

…is the “Thou shalt not kill” one?

[Runningdawg]

26. The really scary part is at least 1/3 of Americans agree with him.

[Initech]

29. I'd rather just put pastors in jail.

Then nothing of value would be lost.

[roamer65]

31. This gay man will take a few of them with me.

Just try it, Asscol.

[RKP5637]

33. Sounds like an excellent plan to me!!!

[ChoppinBroccoli]

32. Just Like Jesus Would

I've found that you can often shame these RW'ers who use Christianity as an excuse to hate by throwing that line back at them. When they start calling for the expulsion of foreigners, and the revoking of healthcare, and the execution of this one or that one, you just reply, "Just like Jesus would have, right?"

[RKP5637]

34. +1, n/t

[leftyladyfrommo]

35. What is "aggravated homosexuality?:

Did he just make that up?

[RKP5637]

36. Most likely! n/t

[leftyladyfrommo]

38. Does he think crazed homosexuals are going to

harm innocent citizens?

That sounds like a B movie plot.

[RKP5637]

39. Whatever he says, many will believe him. Yep, a B movie plot. n/t

37. Damn you all to hell for making me agree with Ted Cruz
