    I can’t watch all of that mess, but that guy is definitely setting off the gaydar — that’s not just me, right?

  2. Dorian Gray says:

    “Lovely old book in hideous error drest– Believe me, I can quote the Koran too,
    The unbeliever knows his Koran best.”

    -Omar Khayyám, (1044 – 1122), Persian Mathematician and Poet…

    (you get the picture)

  3. Unstable Isotope says:

    I sorta believe that all homophobes are secretly gay, why else would they obsess so much?

  4. Dorian Gray says:

    Let me give you a bit more and in context, if you don’t mind. I was just reading it again and it is so moving to me:

    Allah, perchance, the secret word might spell;
    If Allah be, He keeps His secret well;
    What He hath hidden, who shall hope to find?
    Shall God His secret to a maggot tell?

    The Koran! well, come put me to the test—
    Lovely old book in hideous error drest—
     Believe me, I can quote the Koran too,
    The unbeliever knows his Koran best.

    And do you think that unto such as you,
    A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew,
     God gave the secret, and denied it me?—
    Well, well, what matters it! believe that too.

    See, this is why even if I happen to miraculously end up being ridiculously rich when I’m an old man 40 years from now, I still can’t see myself becoming a Republican. Any political party containing an entire wing of fuckwits like this guy and all their numbskull followers is something I just cannot get on board with.

  6. Rich Boucher says:

    At the risk of coming off as less-than-eloquent on this, let me just say that this raging homophobe is clearly RETARDED.

  7. rich,

    in all fairness, I think you are offending retards by lumping this guy in with them

  8. Unstable Isotope says:

    Good point, DV.

  9. Rich Boucher says:

    I hadn’t thought of that, but I can only imagine that, if *I* was retarded, I’d see this video and STILL be going, “…what in the jesus shit christ is wrong with THIS mfer?!…”

    Still. Point well taken.

  10. Rich Boucher says:

    By the way, who the hell IS this guy, and how come the camera never leaves him?

    Is his congregation nude or something?

  11. if you need help imganing you are retarded, head over to colussus of rhodey and read that shit for 10 minutes, that will give you a good a good baseline idea

  12. he is a christian and he is preaching the message of god…

  13. Rich Boucher says:

    I usually spend my idle time imagining that I am receiving the massage of god.

    This involves Eva Angelina.

  14. Truth Teller says:

    As a wayward christian this is one of the reasons i left the church years ago that along with i never did believe the story about the naked lady and the snake.

  15. “massage”

    I love it!

  16. anonone says:

    Is this “Leo” from Down With Absolutes? Sure sounds like him.

  17. liberalgeek says:

    Wait… Isn’t this guy advocating rounding up the gays and shooting them?

  18. cassandra_m says:

    how come the camera never leaves him?

    Is there a congregation here? I never heard any Amens or applause or any other affirmations here. Not even a cough. Wonder if this guy is the christianist version of Rupert Pupkin in the King of Comedy — doing sermons in his mother’s basement waiting for his turn at the big boy pulpit to come true.

  19. Joanne Christian says:

    What can I say? Wrong church, not enough pews.
    Keep looking.

  20. Smarter Than Donviti says:

    This video has as much to do with the teaching of Christ as Donviti has to do with tact and understanding.

  21. Joanne Christian says:

    WOW-You really are Smarter than Donviti.

  22. cassandra_m says:

    But this video does have alot to do with how the christianist right does get to monopolize the media representation of the teaching of Christ.

  23. George says:

    From the church’s website:
    http://faithfulwordbaptist.org/page2.html

    “Pastor Anderson holds no college degree but has well over 100 chapters of the Bible committed to memory, including almost half of the New Testament. ”

    … you don’t say!

  24. Joanne Christian says:

    That’s true-the infomercials of theology, vs. the pantry of Christ.

  25. Unstable Isotope says:

    They should really reword his description:

    “Pastor Anderson has no college degree, but he knows enough Bible verses to justify his prejudices.”

    I wonder if he suffers from fatwa envy?

  26. Anon2 says:

    He’s one sick puppy. I think he should be euthanized.

  27. Hairy-er-er Than Donviti says:

    I like the poser named “Smarter Than Donviti”!

    Unoriginal, yet entertaining.

    and that guy on the clip needs to out of the bath house shadows and embrace his obvious love of penis.

  28. jason330 says:

    You don’t have to be a theologian to know that the bible frowns on homosexuality. Further, it is fairly consistently frowned on in both the old and new testaments, so people who shrug off the bible’s unhappiness with homosexuality are being a bit disingenuous when they say, “Well the Bible also says not to eat shellfish.”

    Having said that, as Joanne and others point out, you have to torture the teachings of Christ beyond recognition to say that Jesus wanted homosexuals, like everybody else, to be treated with anything other than love and compassion.

    Bottom Line: This guy is no disciple of Christ.

  29. anonone says:

    Everybody knows Jesus was gay, anyway.

  30. Rod says:

    This guy reminds me of George Bush. Really!

  31. Joanne Christian says:

    That’s right Jason. A disappointment of Christ, but not a disciple. People tend to confuse them.

    You know–just like the Marines, they all look alike.
