Showing Original Post only (View all)The REAL Terrorists: Conservative ‘CHRISTIAN’ Pastor Openly Calls For EXECUTING ALL GAY PEOPLE By Christmas Day [View all]
It sounds like a sermon that would be delivered in Uganda, but its actually from the mouth of an American pastor in Arizona. Conservative Christian Pastor Steven Anderson openly called for executing every gay person in America during a Sunday sermon at his church in Tempe, Arizona. He claimed from the pulpit that gays need to be put to death in the name of God by Christmas Day in an effort to wipe out AIDS, even though AIDS is not a virus exclusive to the LGBT community. Anderson opined:
Turn to Leviticus 20:13, because I actually discovered the cure for AIDS. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. And that, my friend, is the cure for AIDS. It was right there in the Bible all along and theyre out spending billions of dollars in research and testing. Its curable right there. Because if you executed the homos like God recommends, you wouldnt have all this AIDS running rampant.
In addition, Anderson went on a hateful tirade about how gay people will never be allowed to step foot inside his church. No homos will ever be allowed in this church as long as I am pastor here, Anderson declared. Never! Say Youre crazy. No, youre crazy if you think that theres something wrong with my no homo policy. Slowly but surely, conservatives are becoming more extreme in their anti-gay views. So much so, that some are now willing to endorse genocide in the name of God in a desperate bid to force their agenda of hate upon the nation. Despite the fact that the Constitution is the law of the land, conservative Christians like Anderson want to replace that document with the Bible. The mass extermination of an entire group people is something the Nazis would be applauding. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, conservatives are acting just like the Nazis did in Germany, from claims that homosexuality is a sign of the decay of the nation, to claiming that its a disease that can be cured, to calling for killing gay people.
Many in Germany regarded the Weimar Republics toleration of homosexuals as a sign of Germanys decadence. The Nazis posed as moral crusaders who wanted to stamp out the vice of homosexuality from Germany
Because some Nazis believed homosexuality was a sickness that could be cured, they designed policies to cure homosexuals of their disease through humiliation and hard work.

Thousands of gay people died in concentration camps under Nazi rule. It sounds like Anderson is one of those who are posing as a moral crusader to push their hateful anti-gay agenda. And yet, conservatives have the nerve to compare liberals to the Nazis. If we continue to stand by and allow conservatives to take power in the United States, we may discover to our horror that similar Nazi anti-gay policies have been established under the cloak of religion.
