'Star Trek Into Darkness' Promotes Bestiality Says Pastor Kevin Swanson

[The Straight Story]

Pastor Kevin Swanson slammed the new film "Star Trek Into Darkness" this week on his "Generations Radio" program because the movie allegedly promotes bestiality (audio below).

He said the movie "implicates the good guy [Captain Kirk] in the film as mating with the wrong species, but not just one, but two."

Pastor Swanson added: “That’s how you get evolution, and so the end result of course is that evolution has no basic problem with bestiality or cross-species mating.”

According to RightWingWatch.org, his co-host Dave Beuhner theorized: "I'm not sure that bestiality and the homosexuality are really all that different."

"The whole premise of this is that within an evolutionary construct there is no real problem with speciation and cross-species mating, there’s no problem with that at all, in fact that’s how you evolve, that’s how you get evolution, and so the end result of course is that evolution has no basic problem with bestiality or cross-species mating," said Pastor Swanson.

1. It beats marrying your sister, as demonstrated by Exhibit A in the article

[Decoy of Fenris]

2. Ugh.

That guy has no knowledge whatsoever on the nature of evolution. Breeding, even on the generational scale, doesn't provide evolution, heterosexual or otherwise.

[dlwickham]

3. bet he's against race mixing as well

[XemaSab]

8. Yeah, he thinks it's just terrible

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. I am not sure I watched the same movie

The pastor watched...he must be from Ryker's alternate universe where Ryker is an admiral.

[shawn703]

18. I'm guessing he's referring to Spock and Uhura

Or maybe Kirk and the two women with tails in the beginning of the film. Who knows, he's still an idiot.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. He s an idiot no doubt

Nd has no clue how evolution works.

[Wounded Bear]

5. Other than the whole "cross species mating leads to evolution" thingy...

I suppose this is a well thought out scientific treatise.

[Deep13]

6. People who know nothing about evolution...

...should STFU about it.

Anyway, does he not understand the concept of fiction?

[Iggo]

13. Problem is, they don't know that they don't know.

They think they have it all figured out.

[TeeYiYi]

27. Maybe he thought is was a documentary.

How else do you explain his inability to separate reality from 'it's just a movie?'

TYY

[Deep13]

45. Well, he thinks the Bible is literally true...

...so I guess no ability to tell the difference.

[gulliver]

7. Cue 49% of Republicans polled agreeing. nt

[blkmusclmachine]

9. Oh, for f/ck sakes. What won't these ppl say?

[House of Roberts]

10. In case it's a while before I get to see this movie,

which species does Kirk mate with?

[Buns_of_Fire]

12. IIRC, James T. Kirk is renowned for trying to mate with EVERY species.

And a couple of vegetables and minerals, too. That's why Star Fleet finally mandated that all food served on Federation starships be liberally laced with saltpeter -- with a double dose for the revered Admiral.

[House of Roberts]

15. Kirk knew how to operate a replicator.

So I doubt if that ever succeeded!

[A HERETIC I AM]

17. The REAL drag is they had no Holodeck on the 1701A.

Imagine what he could have done in his spare time.......

[SomethingFishy]

11. I'm not sure that...

being a far right Christian and being a complete and utter moron are really all that different.

[randome]

14. The movie promotes lazy story-telling, that's all.

[sibelian]

16. Christ. Sometimes I think they do this shit deliberately.

What a bunch of stupid, pointless tossers.

[dixiegrrrrl]

39. I know....tossing in a spoiler like that for those who have not seen the movie yet.

Shame on him.

[Initech]

19. Really makes you wonder what people like Kevin Swanson do in their free time.

[longship]

20. I think it just promotes lens flare and jiggling cameras.

Just like the previous Abrams ST opus.

[antigone382]

21. Dude, we have to silence this guy. Now that he has unlocked the secret of evolution...

He is this close to blowing the lid off the SECRET LIBERAL HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA 21 Of breeding humans with other species to create an awesome super race. Imagine humans and turtles: how sustainable would it be if we all carried condos ON OUR BACKS? WHILE DRINKING LATTES?

Nevermind that evolution generally actually works when species *diverge and become unable to reproduce with one another.*

[MattBaggins]

49. Sounds awesome to me

Where can i sign up?

[retread]

23. Star Trek Into Darkness' Promotes Bestiality Says Pastor Kevin Swanson, sheepishly. n/t

[NaturalHigh]

24. My moral objections about this new "Star Trek"...

have nothing to do with this guy's mating habits. I just can't get into a new "Captain Kirk." Also, couldn't they at least give Shatner a cameo in the first one? The gave Nimoy a cameo.

FWIW, I'm also disturbed by the fact that Picard buried Kirk under a pile of rocks in "Generations."

[The Straight Story]

25. In Generations I was disturbed by one very obvious flaw

They could return to any time they wanted which means they could have saved many more lives and they chose to go back to that one moment.

[NaturalHigh]

28. No kidding!

The producers had to do some serious mental backflips to get through that particular script without ripping it up and starting over. It's my least favorite Star Trek movie of either series.

[burnodo]

33. Funny. I thought ST5 sucked worse than everything else

nt

[NaturalHigh]

35. That's the second worst IMO.

Yeah, still really bad, though.

[phleshdef]

40. To be fair, the Federation has a temporal prime directive....

...like, they aren't suppose to really be changing time, if avoidable.

[burnodo]

29. umm...weird

this isn't a new Captain Kirk. It's the second movie with Chris Pine as Kirk.

[Logical]

36. Shatner is an ass. Arrogant. Nimoy classy. n-t

[Initech]

46. According to IMDB:

Shatner was supposed to have a cameo role in the first but couldn't because of a scheduling conflict.

[NaturalHigh]

48. Really?

That caught me by surprise. I thought that Shatner wanted a cameo but wasn't offered one. This may change my whole point of view on these movies.

Thanks for the info.

[burnodo]

26. Oh. For. Fucks'. Sake.

This is why I think of religious people as an extra special kind of nutty.

[davidn3600]

30. They've been doing that on Star Trek for ages

They are just now complaining about it?

[SamKnause]

31. Star Trek

On one hand we have the psychopaths that control everything on this planet; countries, governments, corporations, Wall Street, global banks, energy supplies, food supplies, the ability to communicate, wealth and militaries.

On the other hand we have the religious delusional people; The Pope, Kevin Swanson, Pat Robertson, Rick Warren, Ted Haggard, Douglas Coe, etc., who control the masses and promote ignorance, fear and hate.

Group one and group two often operate hand in hand.

Could this explain why the world is in the shape it is ?

[napkinz]

32. I have a feeling he and his following are still disturbed by ...

[XemaSab]

38. His only problem with that is that it's fornication

since they weren't married.

There are a surprising number of interracial marriages (including his own) and a lot of interracial adoptions in that group.

YES, some of them are flaming racists, but it's fringy, even in that group.

[DetlefK]

34. Does cross-breeding with Neanderthals count as bestiality?

[napkinz]

37. maybe we should put up warning signs: Don't Pet The Tribbles!

[AsahinaKimi]

41. Waiting for Pastor Kevin Swanson to create his own movie

About a Star Ship that travels to Heaven and meets God and the Angels... in 3... 2...1.

[RainDog]

42. It's fucking amazing this ass gets paid a salary

how fucking stupid do you have to be to support someone who spouts this utterly idiotic nonsense?

America. Land of the religulous.

[dembotoz]

43. bestiality????? suddenly those old episodes i have on vhs just got a lot hotter

I had always thought they were normal women only perhaps green.....

but now.... WOW

[edbermac]

44. Mr Spock, as usual, has a logical response to the pastor.

[Orrex]

47. But... conceiving a child with a deity is *not* bestiality?

IMO it obviously would be, at least from the deity's perspective.
