Pastor Steve Anderson |
I continually maintain that overall the evils of religion outweigh the good deeds that may be done. Steve Anderson, pastor of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona, gave yet another demonstration of the way in which religion is used to justify hate and violence against others. In his sermon on World AIDS Day, Anderson's solution to HIV/AIDS is to kill all the gays so that Christmas can be AIDS free. By his statement. of course, Anderson demonstrated not only that he's a hate filled bigot, but also a cretin. In the world today, HIV?AIDS is predominantly a HETEROSEXUAL disease. But Anderson doesn't reserve his hatred to gays. He's also wished for death by brain cancer for President Obama and Michelangelo Signorile. Here are highlights fro Towleroad:
[Anderson] told his followers in a World AIDS Day sermon that he knows a way that the world can be AIDS-free by Christmastime:Religion, especially fundamentalist Christianity and fundamentalist Islam is a pervasive evil. These religious faiths, not gays need to be eradicated from the earth.
“Turn to Leviticus 20:13, because I actually discovered the cure for AIDS. This is the cure for AIDS. Everybody's talking about 'let's have an AIDS-free world by 2020.' Look, we can have an AIDS-free world by Christmas...90 percent AIDS free...If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, even both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. And that, my friend, is the cure for AIDS. It was right there in the Bible all along — and they’re out spending billions of dollars in research and testing. It’s curable — right there. Because if you executed the homos like God recommends, you wouldn’t have all this AIDS running rampant.”Anderson then goes on to label all LGBT pedophiles and talk about his "no homos" policy in his church. It's not the first time Anderson has spewed his views. Back in 2009, he told Alan Colmes:
"I believe that every homosexual in the world is a deviant, is evil, and is a predator that is out to recruit others through molestation, through rape. It's in the news...I would keep my kids away from them. They're deviants. They're not normal. I am saying that [Barney Frank]'s perverted, and he's sick, and I would put him in the category of other homosexuals. Do I think that homosexuality should be against the law? Well, it's against God's law."
