    It’s interesting, and by interesting I mean horrifying, that these outspoken hateful religious leaders assume that just because gay people give in to the homosexual desires everybody obviously has, they will also give in to the pedophilia that everybody obviously has.

    Remove their tax-exempt status. The distinct separation of church and state should prevent this murderous group of sycophants from tax-free status.

    Did Jesus ever say a single word about LGBTQIA+ issues ever?

    Morgan Freeman voice: He didn’t.

    The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.

    But, you know, if someone were to take matters in their own hands, we’ll just wash out hands in innocence and act like we didn’t do anything

      Yeah, this sounds an awful lot like “oh please won’t someone take the law into their own hands.”

    These fuckos should go into one of their classrooms and view the state mandated list of commandments for what NUMBER FUCKING SIX is. These are not real Christians, or real Catholics, or even real people. If you lack the most basic tenets of humanity how do you call yourself a human? You KNOW if anybody else stepped up to the mic and said all evangelical leaders who shamelessly, GLEEFULLY exploit and extort personal wealth from their ‘flock’ while rocking a pure white demonic smile should be parted with the entirety of their skin and thrown in salt pits in the desert to await their God, they would probably have some shit to say. What’s good for the Goose and such…

    Edit: religious illiteracy showing.

      They lost steam when Fred Phelps died. Also they became normalized. But largely they were pissing off everyone on purpose. They protested the funerals of both gay people and soldiers

    “Christianity is a modern, tolerant, peace loving religion! Not like those other ones!”

    5 minutes in to Christian theocratic control

    “KILL THE UNDESIRABLES! THEY OFFEND THE CHRISTIAN GOD’S BLESSED EYES!”

    Place your best now about the odds that Trump tries to make being LGBTQ a capital offense. I’m going with 10%, which is already too high for me.

    We often point out how modern christians would crucify Jesus again today, but they also hate listening to what he said in the Bible. Take the plank out of your own eyes you sorry excuses for people.

      Absolutely. Jesus was a middle eastern man who preached caring for the sick and poor and hated the commercialization of religion. It’s like they stopped reading when they they got to Leviticus.

      Other Christians don’t care for them. From their google reviews:

      This church is nothing more than a cult disguised as Christianity. They don’t preach the gospel—they preach fear, control, and manipulation. Instead of leading people to Christ, they demand blind loyalty to their leadership, excommunicate anyone who questions them, and tear down other churches rather than spreading love and grace.

      Their toxic, legalistic teachings distort salvation, pushing a works-based doctrine that contradicts Ephesians 2:8-9. They divide families, encouraging members to cut off anyone who doesn’t conform. Instead of strengthening faith, they use spiritual abuse to control people. If you’re looking for a real church that follows Jesus, stay far away from this place.

        One Christian criticizing another is just typical inter-sect conflict found in most religions. People who are fundamentally kind or fundamentally cruel will both find and interpret passages to support their views. But because it’s “god’s word” they will always refuse to waiver in the face of logic or common sense.

        The problem is that all religion provides fertile ground for both extremists and con artists to grow – in this case both.
