Pastor Steven L. Anderson Advocates Killing Homosexuals

As offensive as it may be, I think it's valuable to listen to this recording of Pastor Steven L. Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church, in Tempe, Arizona describing his biblical interpretation of Christian scripture. Invoking the authority of the Bible, he chooses to target homosexuals for eradication, making comparisons to them as pests with 'no natural predator'. He accuses all homosexuals of rape as a mechanism of propagating their way of life, and denounces moderate Christians as hypocrites. This hate speech, while biblically accurate, should be ostracized from mainstream Christianity, and wider society.

Transcript:

You want to know who the biggest hypocrite in the world is? The biggest hypocrite in the world is the person who believes in the death penalty for murderers and not for homosexuals. Hypocrite. The same God who instituted the death penalty for murderers is the same God who instituted the death penalty for rapists and for homosexuals - sodomites, queers! That's what it was instituted for, okay? That's God, he hasn't changed. Oh, God doesn't feel that way in the New Testament ... God never "felt" anything about it, he commanded it and said they should be taken out and killed.
...
They recruit through rape. They recruit through molestation. They recruit through violation. They are infecting our society. They are spreading their disease. It's not a physical disease, it's a sin disease , it's a wicked, filthy sin disease and it's spreading on a rampage. Can't you see that it's spreading on a rampage? I mean, can you not see that? Can you not see that it's just exploding in growth? Why? Because each sodomite recruits far more than one other sodomite because his whole life is about recruiting other sodomites, his whole life is about violating and hurting people and molesting 'em.

So how many sodomites is one sodomite going to produce? A lot, and that's why it's just exploding. The only way to stop it, you say "how do we stop it?" ... You want to know why sodomites are recruiting? Because they have no natural predators.
