Leading Christian website says Pete Buttigieg is "deserving of death" because he's gay

A major Christian website published a column saying that 2020 presidential contender Pete Buttigieg is “deserving of death” and worships Satan because he’s gay.

Charisma News, which is associated with the Christian magazine Charisma, published a column entitled “Gay Activism: The Death Rattle of a Nation” by Bert Farias that described Buttigieg as “a male presidential candidate who has a husband whom he publicly introduces and even kisses without shame.”

Farias, co-founder of Holy Fire Ministries, stressed to readers that “there is no gender called ‘homosexual’ or ‘transgender'” in the Bible, so being LGBTQ is actually behavior that people can – and should – stop engaging in.

“Churches and clergy who have swallowed the lie of homosexual behavior being elevated to gender status are trophies of hell and Satan’s prized possession,” he wrote, calling religious leaders who don’t hate LGBTQ people “pathetic.”

It would be better if this was "one-sided", sadly, it is not.

Then calling for someones death because of their beliefs exposes their contempt for religion , and the rule of law , and claiming they are religious. They aren't by claiming this.

Is that these are many of the same people who detest Islam, calling it violent, etc etc etc while THEY spout the same rhetoric as what they accuse muslims of!! More people have died in this world under the banner of christianity than any other religion.

It just makes me sick when I read such hatred. One of the MANY reasons I have moved completely away from any organized religion.

But then those pills are the agents of Satan, dispensed by the unholy Obamacare servants and demons and goblins and spooks and scientists and godless authority figures who read books other than the bible only.
