Remember how upset the right were about Obama’s “radical” preacher? I don’t recall that he wanted anyone ‘put to death’.

Bc Rev. Jeremiah Wright preached “America’s chickens have come home to roost,” wrt obl-Twin Towers/Iraq/extraordinary rendition, “enhanced interrogation” debacle. 😬🙄

Would that render him gay? (He might be already, but can't cope with it.)

I guess "Love thy neighbor" is an optional part of the commandments for conservatives...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Well, given the amount of infidelity amongst conservatives, I suspect that they get around not coveting their neighbor's wife by showing her some lovin', if you know what I mean.

“Loving thy neighbor” is probably going to make you gay too.

What fucking timeline am I living in? Goddamn this shit

Discrimination will always be with us. The important point is not that it's happening now but how we as a society handle it.

The name of the pastor's church?

Grace Baptist Church

It's worth noting that he did this in response to a tweet by, of all people, Ted Cruz, condemning that same law. So we're once again in "Making Ted Cruz Look Reasonable" territory, never somewhere you want the GOP to be.

I think I read somewhere Cruz has a bisexual daughter? Pretty typical of a Republican not to care until it affects them personally.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I think you're giving him far too much credit, and I don't doubt that he would sooner kick his queer child out than support her, but has probably been advised not to right now, because it might impact his career, and that is the personal affect people like him are concerned about, not their kids.

There's no hate like Christian love.

Christ famously wanted to put people to death for sinning /s

What about homosexual non-human animals? Should they be put to death too? Fuck this guy so hard.

My point is that homosexual is natural and happens in the animal kingdom of all varieties of animals.

Piece of shit “pastor” who backs a piece of shit candidate spews hate on a piece of shit social platform.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Evil fuckers.

You first, chumpy.

What the actual fuck

I'm sure Jesus would have been proud.

Look at that dickbroom of his. That thing dusted off one or the other shaft before.. it's always these guys that get busted someday while getting doublefisted by some Puerto Rican stud in a leather harness.

Free speech ladies and gentlemen.

The pastor gets to voice his opinion.

Anyone who disagrees with his viewpoint, should think twice about voicing their opinion, or they'll kill ya.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone surprised, at all?!?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So messed up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Projecting much?

sings A tale as old as time!

A conservative pastor that probably has a cadre of little boys he touches, cant wait for the scandal to hit!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think I already heard that somewhere ... I think it was a political party in Europe around 1930 with a nice Hindi symbol.
