AZ pastor: Childless women on birth control have destroyed the U.S. with ‘whoredom’
By David Edwards

Arizona Pastor Steven Anderson warned his congregation recently that birth control was not only turn women into “whores,” it was also destroying the country.

In a sermon posted online this week, the Faithful Word Baptist Church leader explained that contraception was “not something Christians should be practicing,” even though he acknowledged that 99 percent of Christians believed it was acceptable.

Anderson pointed out that God, in the book of Genesis, had made childbearing painful to punish women for their Original Sin, adding that the husband “shall rule over thee.”

He argued that feminism had “given women the power” to decide when to have children for themselves, allowing them to have careers and follow other interests.

1. he's just saying what most conservative freaks believe

[randys1]

3. The right hate women, period

[zonkers]

55. Love your mothers, daughters and sisters!

[AnneD]

71. The right hate women...

with or without a period.

[Warpy]

2. Anderson knows what reliable birth control allowed us to do

which is pursue education and have careers. What he hasn't said is what the hell his problem with that is.

He sounds like just another moron who has confused that piece of meat between his legs with the almighty. No mere woman should ever interfere with its holy work of turning her into a baby machine until she dies of exhaustion or complications.

I just wonder if there are any women who listen to this rubbish and why.

[Laelth]

52. Evidently, many women do listen to this rubbish.

For the life of me, I can't understand why so many American women vote for Republicans, but they do. There must be a reason. They can't all be that stupid.



-Laelth

[Warpy]

68. Going along to get along

with Republican neighbors, church acquaintances, preachers, bosses, and (most importantly) husbands. I've known some of these women. I've mentioned the sanctity of the voting booth where they can vote their own interests and lie about it later. I hope that did some damage.

[elleng]

4. Somewhat similar to santorum's thinking,

imo.

[onehandle]

5. Q: What would my youth have been without childless women on birth control?

A: A lot less fun.

[dawn frenzy adams]

6. NO PADRE!

Women don't want to bring in the world another baby that will grow up to be you!

[TreasonousBastard]

7. Well, let's hear it for whoredom then...

since it's a fair bit better than poverty, homelessness, unemployment, war, crime... All the good stuff a certain type of Christian seems to approve of.

Show of hands for Mary Magdalene and how she would have approved of today's women.

[Roy Rolling]

8. The Exact Opposite of Correct

Actually, what destroys societies are unwanted children born to parents who do not or cannot care for them. That is the problem. Birth control is one off the solutions.

[xxqqqzme]

9. Can we just start ignoring

anything said by anyone living in AZ?

[ck4829]

10. "You're SUPPOSED to be in pain and ruled by your husband, you stupid women!"

And then he'll wonder why everyone thinks he's a kook, and after a long period of introspection... Oh, who am I kidding, he'll blame any criticism of him on the liberals, atheists, homosexuals, and Obama Disinformation Squads.

[Owl]

11. Why in hell does anyone listen to clowns like Anderson? I don't get it.

[Beacool]

12. He said it as if it was a bad thing.

He argued that feminism had “given women the power” to decide when to have children for themselves, allowing them to have careers and follow other interests.

Release the Whoredom!!!

[LeftyMom]

13. I knew who this was going to be before I opened it. He's breeding his wife to death, fwiw.

She's due with twins any day now. Well, I don't know if you still call it twins, one of them died in utero months ago. She thinks she's going to homebirth, which sounds like the worst idea I've ever heard. These are kids #8 and 9. She's in her early thirties. She looks like a worn out 45. No judgment, I would too if I were herding that many children and had a husband who couldn't keep a damn job.

But yeah, he's literally the last person on earth to give anybody family planning advice.

[niyad]

14. oh my word--how utterly awful for her--and her children.

I was thinking about andrea yates, and how her doctor said getting pregnant again could kill her, yet, according to reports, her husband insisted (even though she had already suffered episodes of ppd, and had attempted suicide several times.

[liberalhistorian]

77. Don't even get me started on the

tremendous injustice of that case and what was done to her, while NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING was EVER done to her husband, who was, frankly, more culpable than she was for ignoring her condition, forcing her to continue being a baby machine despite medical and psychiatric advice, and removing her from psychiatric hospitalization against medical advice, well before her doctors thought she should have been. But he ignored that, too. HE should have been charged, frankly. And I feel sorry for his current wife, whom he met at church after he divorced Andrea.

I'm just glad that justice prevailed, her conviction overturned and she was finally released.

[XemaSab]

22. I was in disbelief that the pissing pastor would make it on DU

but yup, here it was.

[diane in sf]

15. Insane, wingnut ministers have destroyed this country by fronting for Republicans

[freshwest]

27. +1

[Gravitycollapse]

16. I've actually spoken to Anderson in person and he even gave me a book.

He is the same pastor who prayed for Obama's death several years ago. One of his church members is the man who showed up at a protest in Phoenix with an AR-15 and I briefly spoke with him as well.

What was odd is that Anderson is very charismatic and, excluding the actual words, the delivery of his rhetoric was almost hypnotic. Very disturbing. I can understand how the gullible and stupid would see him as a good leader.

[lunasun]

28. prayed for Obama's death several years ago.....Also wants death penalty for all homosexuals

one sick fucker

[Gravitycollapse]

30. Even given the brevity of my encounter, he demonstrated symptoms of being psychotic.

For instance, the book he gave me was The Gulag Archipelago. Which is one of the greatest non-fiction books ever written. But somehow Anderson took it not just as an indictment of Sovietism but also a condemnation of the very concept of humanism. To read something so deeply into a book which clearly never makes such an argument is an indication that his psyche is pretty unstable.

He sees the enemy everywhere. That enemy is anyone not as malevolent and repressed as the God of the Old Testament.

[blkmusclmachine]

35. You mean, "Christian Dominionist."

[sakabatou]

74. +1

[Stryst]

17. Fred Phelps died,

and now there's a hate vacuum. He rails against marriage equality, divorce, abortion... basically the whole extreme right hate list.

[Scuba]

18. .

[Ilsa]

19. Yeah, we accomplished that entirely on our own

Without the help of men. They are too virtuous to be caught up in our whoredom.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

31. !

[StarryNite]

20. Of course he's from Arizona

The right to be stupid state. I can say that, I live here.

[Triana]

21. Why I don't believe in the Bible. Misogynist crap. Sounds Taliban-like to me.

Women having dominion and power over their own bodies and lives? Terrible.

Pfft.

[Rozlee]

23. Numbnuts. The 'you know what' education classes.

He can say whores, fornicate and every other word out there, but he can't say 'sex.'

[PADemD]

24. He resembles Ted Cruz

a lot!

http://www.faithfulwordbaptist.org/page2.html

[IronLionZion]

25. He argued that feminism had “given women the power” to decide

when to have children for themselves, allowing them to have careers and follow other interests.

Yeah, that sounds just awful.

[freethought]

26. This sounds like the same guy

who did a "Harry Potter" book burning some years back.

[AverageJoe90]

29. Anderson is a complete douchebag.

He argued that feminism had “given women the power” to decide when to have children for themselves, allowing them to have careers and follow other interests.

As if that was some sort of bad thing? Gimme a fucking break! And feminism actually helps men & boys, too; not that these Fundies or their MRA fellow travellers actually care, of course.....

[truthisfreedom]

32. "birth control was not only turn women into “whores,"

EDITOR PLEASE! And Jesus fuck, can these angry old white religious winger fucks stop hating women and go back to the prostate cancer they contracted by refusing to masturbate?

[VWolf]

38. Wait, what?

Masturbation prevents prostate cancer? Cool!

(Just trying to glean some good news off this disturbing thread)

[truthisfreedom]

39. Yep. If you start before 25

And continue regularly, it helps clear infectious diseases like chlamydia out of your prostate, and sadly, many of the diseases that can be trapped in a little-used prostate can help lead to prostate cancer. It's hard for white blood cells to get into your prostate to clear infections, and masturbation helps flow everything out of there. Do some interwebs research!

[awoke_in_2003]

46. "If you start before 25"

Yeah, I got that covered.

[truthisfreedom]

59. Hey, don't get me started!

[closeupready]

64. lol - I think most of us do, too.

[awoke_in_2003]

67. Just doing my part to prevent cancer...

[VWolf]

47. I usually start before noon.

bada bing, bada boom!

I took your advice - WebMD says it leads to increased chance of prostate cancer for those under 25 and reduced chance for those over 50. Seeing as I'm 48, it's about time I got my hands .... dirty.

[truthisfreedom]

60. Seeing as I don't have a time machine...

I figure I'm safe.

[IronLionZion]

57. The goal is to empty your prostate gland

which normal ejaculate doesn't quite accomplish. Look into prostate massage online. This can be done with a partner if she's into it, or with a object designed for it.

[RainDog]

33. looking forward to the moment

when the video is released of him snorting chickory off a hooker's behind (h/t jberryhill)

[blkmusclmachine]

34. How long until the authoritarian rightwing control freaks start "suggesting" women wear burqas ?!?!

[trublu992]

36. OMG is this freak week are all the sick freaks coming out of the wood work now?

[A Little Weird]

37. And they wonder why younger people are fleeing from organized religion...

[City Lights]

40. Yuck.

What a creep.

[obxnacy]

41. it's everywhere

oh my god - arizona is full of dumb asses too! two states with women as governors that are other women's worst enemies.
then, they as ass like that minister - what rock did he slither from under? when will women rise up and tell them where to go? far, far away!

[L0oniX]

42. Sick asshole! Pity the idiots who attend his shit hole church.

There's always some gigantic hypocrite condemning those they call sinners while the Jesus they claim to believe in clearly did not cast the first stone.

[KansDem]

43. I wondered what happened to America!

Now I know!

[warrior1]

44. “Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest”

[Kablooie]

45. Whee. That guy'd be a hell of a date!

Emphasis on hell.

[toby jo]

48. We gotta get reporters to press Cruz on all this.

"Senator, how do you feel about woman who refuse to submit to their husbands 'ruling' over them"?

"If painful childbearing is god's punishment to woman, what is god's punishment for men"?

btw, Anderson, I had a child, at a commune, and it wasn't painful at all. It was sexy and fun and beautiful and enlightening.

[Orsino]

49. He's out of step even with conservatives.

But he does hate women, so they're cool with it.

[mike_c]

50. WTF is wrong with these people...?

His mother must have dropped him on his head one time too many. Or not frequently enough, LOL. Where does this sort of attitude come from?

[MissMillie]

54. Well, honestly, I think it's that they think too little of themselves

and they only way they can make themselves "big" and "powerful" is to make sure no one else has any power.

[seabeyond]

51. ya ya ya. lets embrace the whore that we are. right? does all realize jsut how much, how often

women are called whores.

are we done yet?

one way or another.

over and over and over again.

[The Second Stone]

53. A talking Ape! In that pulpit there!

Never mind that it says really offensive things. It forms more or less complete sentences! It's a sign from God! The sign means "shut the hell up if you can't say something nice."

[icymist]

56. Why are the utterances of a asshat news?

The attention only make them want more.

[closeupready]

65. He's made national news before - I don't recall

the circumstances of his prior coverage, but his church is really REALLY wacko.

[shenmue]

58. What an asshole

I know, very uncharitable of me. I am supposed to try to forgive.

I think even the Lord knows there are some people who really try hard to provoke a punch in the face.

Mercy!

[olddad56]

61. I hope that it isn't too late for him to save the world from all of these 'whores'.

[8 track mind]

62. i wondered when that little prick was going to surface again..... n/t

[NickB79]

63. War on women? What war on women?

It's all something dreamed up by those damn liberals, I tell you!

[passiveporcupine]

66. America's Taliban

We has it!

[Nobel_Twaddle_III]

69. far from the first stupid thing he has said.

He got lippy with the border patrol a few years back, and they abused him some. Google him and you will see a history of dumbassery. Have to wonder about who is in his parish supporting him.

[Dozer]

70. Isn't not having unwanted children the opposite of "whoredom?"

Also I would imagine most women on birth control are in a relationship not that it matters either way.

[LeftishBrit]

72. What a filthy scumbag

Why doesn't he just join the Taliban? He'd fit right in.

[Sunlei]

73. This is what happens when the couple of 'global base religions' have a few thousand years to twist.

[mackerel]

75. Them that can Do them that can't Preach.

[liberalhistorian]

76. My own pastor would

have some very choice words for this hateful, ignorant, bloviating idiot. Oh, yes, she would, indeed. As would my seminary professors, most of whom are also women.

[ladjf]

78. Boundless ignorance, stupidity and meanness. nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

79. lol. what a fool
