but of course, we can't do that. So I won't say that. His ideas are anti-American, however.

God will finish the job: Texas pastor prays for injured Orlando survivors to die

In the wake of the attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida last week, many right-wing Christian religious leaders have celebrated the shooters actions, but a Texas pastor is taking that to a whole new level.
Pastor Donnie Romero of Stedfast Baptist Church in Fort Worth told his flock he agrees 100 percent with Baptist Pastor Roger Jimenez, who made news with his sermon advocating that the government should use a firing squad to blow their brains out.
These 50 sodomites are all perverts and pedophiles, and they are the scum of the earth, and the earth is a little bit better place now, Romero said in the Sunday sermon. And Ill take it a step further, because I heard on the news today, that there are still several dozen of these queers in ICU and intensive care. And I will pray to God like I did this morning, I will do it tonight, Ill pray that God will finish the job that that man started, and he will end their life, and by tomorrow morning they will all be burning in hell, just like the rest of them, so that they dont get any more opportunity to go out and hurt little children.
Romero went on to cite Sodom and Gomorrah, which he called the first ever queer mass murder and called out mega churches, whom he believes are too soft on preaching anti-gay sermons. Biblical scholars believe the sin in the story had nothing to do with homosexuality, rather it was about inhospitality.

Yes, he's despicable, but calling for deportation of a citizen shows a disrespect for things like the Constitution.

(2,337 posts)This may come as a shock to you, but we aren't yet in the business of deporting citizens because they chose to exercise the right of free speech, no matter how ugly and distasteful.

Pastor Donnie Romero has gone viral.
Im going to explain to you why God wants these people to be put to death, Romero declared during a sermon in December. The word of God is very clear that God is against the sodomites, that theyre filthy, and it says theyre an abomination to God.
A clip from Romeros sermon, posted on YouTube by Right Wing Watch, has been viewed more than 28,000 times. It also helped land Romeros Fort Worth church on the Southern Poverty Law Centers annual list of active anti-LGBT hate groups.
Their gay-bashing is intense, said Heidi Beirich, director of SPLCs Intelligence Project. Stedfast Baptist Church is very crude in its hatred. Thats not a complicated thing to explain why we put them on the hate list. Romero didnt return a phone call seeking comment.
Stedfast Baptist is one of two Texas-based organizations added to the list this year. The other is Probe Ministries of Plano. They joined longstanding designee Tom Brown Ministries of El Paso. The increase in Texas contributed to a 10 percent jump in anti-LGBT hate groups nationwide, from 40 to 44.
I'll not provide a link to that YouTube video cited in this article...I couldn't listen to that bastard past his first sentence, but there's a hyperlink at the Observer if anyone else must hear it for themselves.

(13 posts)You wanting to deport someone because you dislike their views isn't very different to me than a Trumpster wanting to deport someone because they don't like their skin color or accent. It's kind of ironic that you say his ideas are anti-American and then call for him to be deported because of them, which is even more anti-American.
Let this asshole talk. These bigots hang themselves with every word. We don't need to deport anyone.
