    “The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.”

    Ah yes, Jesus was famously pro-death penalty as long as only the state was enforcing it.

    I hope everyone here is aware that fascism has now taken hold in America and never before in the history of mankind has fascism stepped down when politely asked to do so.

    It has always required force.

      Except after the death of Franco. And after a peaceful people’s movements removed the Portuguese junta.

    When asked to respond to Falco’s inflammatory remarks, the church said in a statement that the preacher was “only calling for the death penalty and suicide for the actual sodomites (homosexuals). The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.”

    This is the “reserved” and “compromise” position in their eyes.

      We should execute those who wield influence who make homophobic or transphobic comments in this way, by public hanging, immolation, or firing squad. I will literally vote for this.

        If you want to censor them, you don’t have to murder them.

        Maybe put them in prison. They can only read the Bible or pro-LGBT literature, eat only vegan food, go nude or wear sackcloth, and given a choice between breaking rocks or participating in group therapy conducted by psychologists and psychiatrists who are openly gay, TG, and/or Otherkin.

    In a sermon titled, “Pray the Gay Away,” Stephen Falco, an evangelical preacher with the Sure Foundation Baptist Church, yelled from the pulpit, “They’re all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, ‘No, you’re not going to have our children!’”

    What a disgusting message. I wouldn’t be sad if this sack of shit got hit by a bus.

            So what do you wanna do if there’s a bunch of fascists that want to execute everyone they don’t like? You let them?

              IIUC, execution is a punishment.

              While you might use force—even deadly force—to deal with certain lethal threats, you don’t punish somebody for what you think they might do.

              FWIW and on a related topic: wp:Killing baby Hitler.

                You’d probably have been friends with Neville Chamberlain. Im obviously not suggesting punishing THOUGHT CRIME, but when someone openly declares they want you dead, because of what YOU think, what do you think you should do? Sit down and have a nice long talk?

                  “Sorry dude, I ain’t gonna die just to please you. You talk like a sicko. What’s the matter? You didn’t get breastfed? Did a Jewish black guy steal your girlfriend? Were you bullied by pretentious left-of-center liberals? Is your father a psycho who beat your mother to a pulp in front of you when you were a child, like Klara Hitler might have been? Is your mother still alive? Did your comrades and you drive your half-neice, the one a little over half your age, and the one you might have been having sex with to suicide or perhaps kill her? Maybe you should get some counseling before you do anything stupid, or even more stupid.”

    They’re all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, ‘No, you’re not going to have our children!’

    Statistically, a child is at greater risk of being sexually abused by a preacher than a member of the LGBT community

    Historically, the demographic most likely to sexually assault children is straight men.

    Does that mean we should kill all the straight men?
