Pastor Condemns Fellow Clergymen For Not Supporting Death Penalty For Gays

[FieryLocks]

This asshat is a real piece of work...

The pastor in question asked to have his congregation’s listing removed from Anderson’s church directory, a decision which Pastor David Berzins of Word of Truth Baptist Church condemned as the act of a traitor to his faith, even though the offending clergyman is a personal friend of his.

“I like the guy,” said Berzins. “He’s a Christian, he’s saved, he does soul-winning, he believes in a King James Bible, it’s a Baptist church. Independent Fundamental Baptist church.”

The offending pastor even believes “that homosexuality is a wickedness and preaches against it,” Berzins went on, but his faith in Berzins’ eyes, is suspect.

“But just because they don’t believe that [homosexuals] should be stoned,” he said, that church’s teachings are invalid.

“I think it’s very clear” in the Bible, Berzins insisted, that people with same-sex attractions should be stoned to death.

Can I stone my father for his divorce too?

“I like the guy,” said Berzins. “He’s a Christian, he’s saved, he does soul-winning, he believes in a King James Bible, it’s a Baptist church. Independent Fundamental Baptist church.”

Apparently he doesn't know about the good king's, uh, proclivities.

Is "soul-winning" anything like fishing?

What's he saved from? Oh yeah, imaginary buggers.

I'm often torn between dismissively regarding people like this as something not worth giving thought to, but if its a bad day, given what he says, it wouldn't take much for me to hit reverse in a car and drive over him several times.

Just proving, religion draws in psychopaths.

Wow and jesus said love thy neighbor. Unless he's gay apparently.

[Aletheia]

I think we can fight this. Whenever a Christian says gays should be stoned to death, we should quote a similar passage in the Qu'ran  and talk about how Islam and Christianity have so much in common. Hell, why stop there? Compare the value of a woman, how age of consent doesn't matter, the patriarchal hierarchy, paedophilia, theocracy, indoctrination of children, apostasy,  and various other similarities between the two religions. I won't be satisfied until the majority of Christians start to crawfish on their arguments and even physically alter the Bible to be more PR friendly than the Qu'ran.

Stoning gays to death? Seriously? What person in a first world society is going to pick up a bunch of stones and pelt a random gay person to death? Who in their right mind would think this is ok? What's next, claiming ownership of people who have a different skin pigment than you?

I'm sorry, I can only brush this off for so long before I can't avoid the implications of these words any longer. They want to KILL people. Take the life of some man's husband and some child's father? Beat to death a woman whose only crime is having a wife? These sick fucks have the audacity to think that an "all-loving" god would ever sanction this? The nerve to think that a crumpled up corpse of an innocent person will pay their way into heaven? These people lost their humanity a long time ago - they're too fucking psychotic to realize it.

If only we could convert stupidity into an energy source. We've got enough stupid to travel clear across the galaxy.

[Deidre32]

I stopped reading at ''soul winning.''

I can't even muster up a reply, but the pastor who is spewing this trash, should be in jail.

I know one thing for sure, this guy brings out the worst in me. I would throttle him with my bare hands until he repented. What a hateful person that uses religion to justify his fears, hatefulness, bigotry, prejudice, sadistic impulses, and feelings of being persecuted for his insane beliefs. If this guy had the power Hitler had he would be no different. I honestly can't wait until I die so I don't have to live in world with people like him. This guy needs to be locked up in a lunatic asylum before he takes action against gays. Life isn't hard enough, and yet you have to live in a world with people like this that make it unbearable to live and let live. To pick and choose Leviticus as a life guide is about as insane and stupid for even a die hard Christian to do. Why are people too afraid to stand up and boo such an evil person as this? The Catholic Church and Judeo have done wonders to make life a living hell by making The Testaments the word of God.  :fU: Solitary

Well he's basically inciting other christians to commit violence against gay people, he should be in jail........

Agreed, and theres evidense of it right there. Is this one of those things where the justice system there is cock eyed between 'freedom of speech' and 'inciting violence', because when its this fucking direct this falls right in with abusing the freedom of speech laws.

Yaknow, I wonder if I was introduced to him and then casually mentioned that he'd just shaken the hand of a gay atheist, if the side of his head might just pop off.

If you did he'd probably start screaming, ''INFECTED INFECTED'', and then look for an axe to cut his unclean hand off......

"He believes in King James version of the Bible."  ??

"He believes in King James version of the Bible."  ??

That would be the version commissioned to punch up the sections that supported the CofE (and Protestantism generally) over Catholicism.  The KJE is one of the more explicitly political "translations".  So apparently, they agree on antipopery.
