Showing Original Post only (View all)Anti-gay pastor goes into a meltdown after paypal account gets shut down [View all]
An Arizona pastor known for his virulently anti-LGBT views went on a podium-stomping tirade recently after businesses began cutting off their services to his and other bigoted pastors churches, the Friendly Atheist reports.
Pastor Steven Anderson, who heads the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Phoenix, Arizona, lashed out this week at activists who successfully petitioned businesses like PayPal and Apple to shut down his accounts after his hate speech. While Anderson posted his June 22 sermon on a website called Archive, the Friendly Atheist uploaded a sampling to YouTube.
After the June 12 massacre at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Anderson posted a video in which he said there are 50 less pedophiles in the world. Forty-nine people were killed in the mass shooting at the gay nightclub.
Anderson has been reaping the consequences of his words, and he is not happy about it.
Its war. You know what the filthy sodomites have done toward our church and us, and our friends and our fellow pastors that actually have the guts to say what needs to be said? Heres what theyve done in the last few weeks, he told his congregation. They got our PayPal account shut down so that we cant take anymore online donations. We set up with another company, GivLet, they got that shut down. Qgiv, they got that shut down. BitPay, they got that shut down. They shut down our iTunes podcast. They shut down Brother Jimenezs PayPal account. They shut down Brother Romeros PayPal account The landlord of Pastor Jimenez is saying, hey were not going to renew your lease.'

OP
Most of those fundraising organizations have Terms of Service that prohibit this type of activity.

The law is a little more strict on brick and mortar businesses in this regard.

Unfortunately others are not always as strong in their core values on these topics.

It sucks to be YOU, Steve. So much for the teachings of Jesus being allowed in church.
