Steve King: I 'Don't Expect' To Meet Gays In Heaven

[Capt. Obvious]

since I'm going to hell.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) suggested Wednesday that if he makes it to heaven, he won't find himself in the company of any gays.

In an interview with the Jefferson Herald, King discussed a preliminary document produced during Catholic bishops' recent synod that stated gays had "gifts" to offer the Christian community. That historic welcome was utimately scrapped.

....

The Iowa Republican demurred when the Jefferson Herald pressed him to say whom he included among the "condemned."

“Let me say it isn’t to me to pass that judgment, and those who choose a lifestyle that I’ll say is not one that’s annointed [sic] and favored by my faith — or their faith, for that matter — that’s between them and God," he told the newspaper.

1. Right. As I've said,

Gays don't expect to meet YOU in heaven.

2. Exactly, none will be seeing him in heaven! n/t

3. No worries Steve

Your beliefs didn't make you a better person - your actions have spoken for you.

You won't be going to heaven.

4. He could be in for a rude awakening

When he gets to hell.

5. If there is a heaven, and he's in it...

I might check out Hell.

6. Yep, just as I don't expect to meet gays in Belgium.

Because I'm not going there.

7. Probably because he'll be in the 1st group

So instead of letting one person in at a time through the Pearly Gates, St. Peter had everyone who was expected to get in just wait outside until a tour group angel could come and bring them in. After midday, one finally arrived and divided everyone up by their denomination - Catholics over here, Baptists here, Methodists there, etc. Once that was done, the angel took one of the groups and went inside, leaving the rest outside, suffering the sneers and smirks of the lucky group as they passed and wondering what was going on. Eventually, another angel came and took the rest of them inside on their tour of Heaven.

And what an incredible tour it was where they saw all the wonders of Heaven. Eventually they came to a large building. It wasn't overly ornate, and it resembled an apartment building. The angel got the group's attention and said, "We're going to pass through this building's lobby to get to the other side because it takes too long to walk around. I need everyone to be EXTREMELY quiet! Absolute silence while we're in there. It will just take a couple of minutes." They entered the building, the new souls afraid they would be disturbing some important denizen of Heaven. The inside was just like the outside - nicely decorated but not ornate, and it looked just like an apartment building's lobby. They saw no one.

They continued and finished the tour and before being let go, the angel asked if there were any questions. One soul raised his hand and asked, "I have two. Who was the first group that went in ahead of the rest of us, and whose building was it that we had to be quiet in while we passed through."
The angel smiled and said, "The answer to your question is the same - Baptists. We take them in first and show them to some living quarters, which they seem happy to rarely leave."
"Why do you do those two things?"
"It's just a lot easier on the rest of us if they believe they're the only ones getting in."

8. By definition, Mr. King, if you're there it is not heaven.

9. Since slanderers and adulterers are also excluded, according to

the clobber verse he's using here, he probably won't see many Republicans there either.

10. Dont worry Steve they get to go to a Special Heaven, think P-Town in Summer and you get to go to the

Heaven were you will be with people who think just like you, you will be issued a harp and wings and some others in your Heaven will receive 72 Virgins, sorry you do not qualify for the Virgins, you picked the wrong religion but there is still time to convert.

11. How does he expect to get to heaven?
