Related: About this forumINDIANA: Sheriff Denies Claim That "Ain't No Homos" Church Got Death Threats
It turns out that Pastor "Ain't No Homos In Heave" Sangl lied to the media when he claimed that his church has gotten death threats. Shocking! The best part is that the truth comes via Fox News :
To my knowledge, there are no death threats at this time, Decatur County Sheriff Gregory Allen told FoxNews.com. He was responding to a report on TMZ.com that Jeff Sangl, pastor of Apostolic Truth Tabernacle Church in Greensburg, Ind., had received death threats after the video hit the Internet Wednesday. Allen told FoxNews.com that Sangl, who has left town and could not be reached for comment, contacted the department and asked him to keep an eye on the church's property following the surfacing of the video.

Imagine THAT! The Christian leader of the church who applauded the little child singing hate lyrics the child had been taught... now also revealed to be a liar. Wow!

OP
I'd be willing to bet that part of it is to further the claim that Christians are being persecuted.

(31,849 posts)2. It's also amazing ...
how many "churches" that teach/promote hate, have "Truth" or "True" in their name.

(325 posts)3. So "TRUE"! Also for so many web sites
promoting birtherism, 9/11 conspiracy theories of a cover-up, global climate change denial, creationism, or issues of homophobia, misogyny, or other straight white male supremacist mythologies.

(15,392 posts)9. That child has been taught a powerful (wrong) message
By all the people standing up and cheering for him - that it's okay to hate. If he carries that message with him as he grows, he'll have no trouble bullying GLBT teens, and if he does, I hope there's someone around that kicks his ass. Let his father know how others see, "His boy," then.
