"Pastor" Steven Anderson is a white supremacist and anti-Semite.

I put "pastor" in scare quotes since Anderson is judgmental, deceptive, and full of hatred.

I have met pastors who were kind, compassionate, helpful and decent.

Anti-gay Arizona pastor tricks Holocaust survivor into appearing in his anti-Semitic film

n anti-gay pastor in Tempe, Arizona — who recently came under fire for statements about an “AIDS-free Christmas” — is courting controversy again after the Jewish News reported that he tricked area rabbis into participating in an anti-Semitic documentary he is making.

According to the Jewish News, pastor Steven Anderson contacted Rabbi Leo Abrami, a Holocaust survivor, and claimed to be making a film that explained tenets of the Jewish faith to a Christian audience. He identified himself as “an interested layperson” to Rabbi Abrami, who took him at his word.

However, when Anderson contacted Rabbi Irwin Wiener, he claimed to be producing a documentary for PBS. “The subterfuge that he used to get these interviews from us is beyond belief,” Wiener told the Jewish News. “When he used the words PBS to me, it sounded legitimate and I didn’t pursue it any further.”

Both Abrami and Wiener signed releases allowing Anderson to use material from those interviews in his film — which is actually called Marching to Zion, and according to the promotional video that Anderson made for it, the purpose of the film is “to prove that the Jews are no longer God’s chosen people in the New Testament but that we as believers, we as Christians, are God’s chosen people [and] that the modern-day nation of Israel over in the Middle East is a complete fraud.”

1. Boy, That Opens a Whole Can of Worms!

And this guy is definitely courting controversy and using any means, fair or foul, to stir it up. Actually, there was a way open to him in which he could have gotten the rabbis' testimony that he wanted without having to misrepresent himself and disobey the Ten Commandments. He could have interviewed rabbis from Naturei Karta, a group of orthodox rabbis who are anti-Zionists and against the state of Israel. I believe that this organization is headquartered in New York. But hey - NYC was probably too far for him to go, and beyond his budget, and maybe also his time constraints in getting this film out by the holiday season. God, and Mother Nature, take their time, don't cut any corners, and don't make any junk, but this guy obviously has lower standards.
