Baptist Pastor Advocates Killing Gays

Baptist Pastor Advocates Killing Gays

There's a Baptist minister in Tempe, Arizona, who makes Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern look like Kathy Griffin.  Reverend Stephen L. Anderson is telling his parishioners that gays and lesbians should be executed because that's what God wants.  Pam Spaulding has posted a video of the conservative Christian calling for the murder of "faggots" in one of his sermons.  Kyle at Right Wing Watch transcribed this from the audio of another sermon:

You want to know who the biggest hypocrite in the world is? The biggest hypocrite in the world is the person who believes in the death penalty for murderers and not for homosexuals. Hypocrite. The same God who instituted the death penalty for murderers is the same God who instituted the death penalty for rapists and for homosexuals - sodomites, queers! That's what it was instituted for, okay? That's God, he hasn't changed. Oh, God doesn't feel that way in the New Testament ... God never "felt" anything about it, He commanded it and said they should be taken out and killed.

Why? Because the sodomites are infectious, that's why. Because they're not reproducers, that goes without saying, they're recruiters. And you know who they're after? Your children. Remember you dropped off your kids last week? That's who they're after. You drop them off as some day care, you drop them off as some school somewhere, you don't know where they're at. I'll tell you where they're at: they're being recruited by the sodomites. They're being molested by the sodomites... They recruit through rape. They recruit through molestation. They recruit through violation. They are infecting our society. They are spreading their disease. It's not a physical disease, it's a sin disease, it's a wicked, filthy sin disease and it's spreading on a rampage. Can't you see that it's spreading on a rampage? I mean, can you not see that? Can you not see that it's just exploding in growth? Why? Because each sodomite recruits far more than one other sodomite because his whole life is about recruiting other sodomites, his whole life is about violating and hurting people and molesting 'em.

Has any Baptist Church stepped up and condemned Anderson's loathsome speech?  Nope. If a Christian minister from any mainstream denomination called for the murder of African-Americans, wouldn't there be a public outcry?  If a preacher was advocating the extermination of Jews, would his sermons be greeted with silence? 

What does this man have to do before he's censured by his fellow Baptists?  Hand out guns with the directions to houses where gay folks live?
