Want to know what a dangerous and certifiably insane individual Arizona Pastor Steven Anderson is? I had not heard of this individual until he had come under fire for suggesting a "Final Solution" for the planet's LGBT citizens in a very anti-science effort to combat AIDS and HIV, despite ignoring the fact that it affects both LGBT and straight individuals.
Despite being under investigation by the SPLC, Anderson admitted that his church is a hate group:
In fact, Steven Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church is on the list and he openly admits that he "absolutely" hates gays:
Tucked in a Tempe strip mall sits the Faithful Word Baptist Church .
The church is not new and the controversy surrounding the beliefs of its leader are not new. However, a report released Wednesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center gives the church a new label.
The SPLC is now listing the church as a hate group targeting homosexuals in a list of hate groups operating in Arizona.
"Do I hate? Absolutely," said Faithful Word Baptist Church Pastor Steven Anderson.

And in this sermon from 2009, he commands that all gay people should be put to death:
You want to know who the biggest hypocrite in the world is? The biggest hypocrite in the world is the person who believes in the death penalty for murderers and not for homosexuals. Hypocrite. The same God who instituted the death penalty for murderers is the same God who instituted the death penalty for rapists and for homosexuals - sodomites, queers! That's what it was instituted for, okay? That's God, he hasn't changed. Oh, God doesn't feel that way in the New Testament ... God never "felt" anything about it, he commanded it and said they should be taken out and killed.
You know why God wanted the sodomites in the Old Testament to be killed? You know why every good king of Israel, the Bible says they got rid of the sodomites in the land? You know, the good kings that came after the bad kings who had allowed the sodomites to infest their land, they had infiltrated ... King Asa got the sodomites out of the land, Jehoshaphat exterminated the sodomites that were left from the days of his father, Asa. Why? Because the sodomites are infectious, that's why. Because they're not reproducers, that goes without saying, they're recruiters.
