Two more pastors, two different states, advocate for the killing of gays

Two more “men of God” are on record as advocating for the death of gays and lesbians. In their Sunday sermons, Knapp suggested that the government should put gay people to death, while Leatherman said that his “flesh” is intrigued by the idea of killing homosexuals.

n his sermon “Homosexuality and the Need for National Revival,” Knapp implied that the government should put gays to death — after all, “that’s what happened in Israel.”

“They should be put to death. That’s what happened in Israel. That’s why homosexuality wouldn’t have grown in Israel. It tends to limit conversions. It tends to limit people coming out of the closet. — ‘Oh, so you’re saying we should go out and start killing them, no?’ — I’m saying the government should. They won’t but they should.

(You say), ‘oh, I can’t believe you you’re horrible. You’re a backwards neanderthal of a person.’ Is that what you’re calling scripture? Is God a neanderthal backwards.. in his morality. Is it his word or not? If it’s his word, he commanded it. It’s his idea, not mine. And I’m not ashamed of it.”

And if the bible can be used to justify one point of view, it can be used to justify another with equal validity.


Perhaps if people stopped using the bible to justify things...

The bible justifies a lot of death sentences. The bible also has a lot of don'ts. These idiots just take the ones they agree with to be carried out and the ones they don't agree with they ignore.
