Preacher who cheered Orlando Pulse deaths is losing his lease

Sorry, not sorry. Go preach in a tent.

By the way, I did change my title from Pastor to preacher. I'm an atheist but I was raised in a very religious home and, to me, a pastor is someone who cares for people. Preachers just shout shit. If this guy can't care for all people he doesn't deserve to be called a pastor and real pastors shouldn't have to associate with his filth.

TRIGGER WARNING for the article at the site. They quote some horrific homophobic shit.


Guess who soon won’t have a church anymore?


Pastor Roger Jimenez made national news after the most recent mass shooting at a gay night club in Orlando when he decided to share what God thinks on the matter — specifically that more “sodomites” should be dead. Unfortunately for him, his god is a spiteful one who doesn’t like people putting words in his mouth — or Jiminez is simply an intolerant person whom a civilized society will not tolerate. In any case, the good pastor just got some very, very bad news.

...

The property management company and owner of the building in which Verity Baptist Church and its Pastor Roger Jimenez preside have decided not to renew the church’s lease, and have asked church officials to consider moving.

Under the terms of the lease, Jimenez cannot simply be evicted, but the company says it can not tolerate “tenants who advocate hatred and the taking of innocent lives.”

“We have many places of worship and other religious organizations in the properties we manage,” company officials said in a press release. “Like all our tenants, their occupancy rights are protected in their leases.”

But, of course, that won’t be an issue once the lease is up in March of 2017, and Jimenez and his hateful friends are told to put their boots to the pavement. If Jimenez leaves early, his lease will be canceled without any penalty...
