But he's not meaner than an atheist, do I have that right?

[xerxes]

He belongs in ISIS.

[2Cdo]

He's a fucking wing-nut.

[andyt]

Well, be fair. ISIS would just kill the parents and the kids for even contemplating such a sin. So once again, we are so much better than they are. No worries, really.

[raydan]

It's better to drown far-right pastors...

It's better to drown far-right pastors...

...with disdain and ridicule.

Linkie no workie Mr. Whalen.

Cut and pasted the subject line and got this one to work

[Freakinoldguy]

With clowns like him having a forum to spout their insanity, I weep for society.

Far right not really, institution material, definitely. This guy seems to be less right wing extremist than extreme anti gay activist since every movie he's seen seems to apparently have some hidden gay theme.

Linkee no workee. Was this guy the same twatwaffle that Jindal, Huckabee, and Cruz paid homage to at some Old Testament-inspired hate conference the prick was running the last few days?

[desertdude]

It was listening to Justin Bieber I would understand and probably support him.

$1:

Preacher Kevin Swanson was speaking at the National Religious Liberties Conference when he made the staggering suggestion during an impassioned rant against homosexuality.

[BartSimpson]

Dial down the outrage, kids. The pastor is quoting Luke 17:2 as it applies here.

Luke 17:2 Luke 17:2:

It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

In other words, you're better off drowning yourself than you are inculcating sin and destruction to children because there's a very special corner of Hell that's reserved for those who lead children astray.

At least he's not suggesting to hang homosexuals from two trucks as is popular with Obama's friends in Iran and much of the rest of the Middle East.

Well, that didn't take too long. We're better than they are so it's OK. Pretty low bar to aim for.

No, I'm just pointing out the ongoing state of selective outrage from people like yourself who think these things and worse are somehow defensible if they're done in the name of the only religion you don't hate.
