Feel the Love - "Christian" Pastor Equates Gays with Axe Murder

The first post for today looked at the hate unleashed over the weekend in Kansas.  If one wants to see the type of foul venom that flows from pulpits to inflame hatred, then look no farther than Pastor Kevin Swanson who engaged in an anti-gay tirade and compared acceptance of homosexuality to axe murder and cannibalism.  And we wonder why there are hate crimes in this country?  What set off Swanson spittle flecked rant was the fact that Nabisco had dared depict a gay couple with children in an ad for Honey Maid graham crackers.  Sadly, Swanson is increasingly the face of conservative Christianity - one of the reasons Millennials are fleeing religion in record numbers.  Here are highlights from Huffington Post:

Nabisco's controversial Honey Maid commercial depicting a same-sex couple is continuing to spark the ire of a number of conservative pundits. 

As Right Wing Watch is reporting, Pastor Kevin Swanson of Colorado is the latest to take the company to task over the "Wholesome" graham cracker ad campaign. 

In a Generations Radio broadcast, Swanson went as far as to compare homosexuality to "axe murder" and cannibalism, before predicting that Nabisco was "going to lose business" in the wake of the campaign. 

"When you come down to things like axe murder or homosexuality and you say, ‘We’re really going to promote it and we’re going to encourage everybody in America to engage in this or at least support this thing,’ there will be people on the other side who will take an adamantly opposed position to your support of axe murdering or homosexuality," he said. "They will be intolerant -- they will be very intolerant of that which is evil, like axe murdering." 

Swanson, whose opposition to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights is well-established, didn't stop there, suggesting that the company might follow up the ad with a clip promoting bestiality. 

"Maybe they had another family where a dog is the wife with a human husband," he said, before adding, "Homosexuals love their friends and cannibals love their victims -- they taste good.”

Conservative Christianity is an outright evil and need to be recognized as such by the general populace.  People like Swanson have do place in decent society.
