“Hunt-a-Homo Week”?!?

Post by JesusA (imported) »

The link ( http://vimeo.com/11950437) leads to a section of a sermon by Pastor Jeff Owens of Shenandoah Bible Baptist Church ( http://www.sbbcwv.com/) in Martinsburg, WV, a suburb of Washington, DC. The church website declares Pastor Owens has a “genuine love and concern for people.” In this sermon, we certainly don’t hear any love or compassion as he calls on his flock to terrorize and murder gays and lesbians.

Among the highlights of this “compassionate” sermon, we hear Pastor Owens shouting, "We need to stop burning flags and start burning fags. We need hunt-a-homo week. We need to take 'em all out and shoot 'em with a scatter shotgun."

The church website states, “Our church is an old-fashioned Bible-believing, people-loving, patriotic church. Our congregation is made up of a group of very sincere Christians who have a goal of growing in the Lord and helping others do so as well.”

It’s clear that we have a long way to go in overcoming bigotry in American society.

Yep I can feel the love already, sounds like most of the Christians I have met in my life with only a couple exceptions.

NOTE: those exceptions I have found here at this site. I could name you guys but you know who I mean.

The only thing I did not hear in this guys bigoted statements is how much money he needs to keep talking like a jackass.

Okay, how many years do your suppose it will take to catch this guy in a homosexual affair.

His kind of venom is too often an ego shield.

Like all those "Contract with America" family value guys who dumped their old wives for newer trophy wives after their brouhaha.

Perhaps churches like this need to have their Tax-exempt status taken away?

I bet the church does not have any kneelers.

I'm with you, make it retro back 20 years or so.

Naah. This can't be for real. It's gotta be a hoax. Surely no-one these days can be that pig ignorant and so stupid?

We just had eight years of an administration that was that pig ignorant and so stupid, why not in the private sector?

IT is a matter of statistics. You KNOW that he IS, it is just a matter of his behaviors catching up with him. You know, like shoplifters... same statistical mechanism...

Interesting....I wonder how many of these church-going Gawd fearing douchebags are right wingers? Tea party members?...A very large percentage, I'd wager...And how many do you think are registered Dems? Progressives, even moderate conservatives? Not too many, I'd wager...

Maybe we should have a Hunt-a-hater week...But then, that would be hate...and I don't want to be associated with these people, in any way...You have to hand it to America...Where else in the civilized world would people like these be allowed to spew their filth? Ahhh...yes....the Muslim world...(is this the civilized world, though?) Religion...It all sucks...dragonfly
