In the first half of this video, Pastor Steve Anderson of the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Arizona offers up one of the most vile anti-gay rants you'll ever hear. In the second half, he starts to explain why both he and God hate Barack Obama, but he never gets there.
Why put this on my humor-driven site? You could argue Anderson is so awful he's funny. But I probably wouldn't argue that--the man is dangerous, and full of demons, and on a mission to make a name for himself. I'm posting the video out of raw fascination at how fanatical a homophobe can be, and at how the Bible can be twisted six ways from Sunday.
Thanks to Matt Comer for passing this along. Dreadful as it is.

The SPLC has officially labeled them a hate group. Good, because if they hadn't already, I was going to ask them to. The good pastor's response? "Do I hate? Absolutely."
ReplyDeleteThis was a real shocker. I hadn't heard this level of vitriol from anyone before. It's off the charts. And the good pastor has gone off the rails and into the weeds. The pre-outed Ted Haggard was tame compared to this. If it's true that homophobic rhetoric is positively correlated with suppressed gay sexuality, then this guy is so frustrated he's about to self-destruct. Maybe he could arrange some hormone therapy to get whatever it is under control before he actually inflicts harm on anyone.
