Kill the Gays says the Family Values Pastor

This blog post is dedicated to a friend of mine who was devastated by the hatred being spewed by a so-called Christian pastor and to the Scheer Family who were attacked by the Million Moms.

It has become popular in far Right Wing circles to see who can be the most homophobic.

Hands down, in my opinion, Kevin Swanson is the winner. He has surpassed Pat Robertson, my previous holder of the Most Homophobic Supposed Man of God title.

Swanson hosted an event this past weekend and invited 3 Republican Presidential hopefuls.  One would think that based on all of the noise made by the Right as they fanned the flames of hate discussing President Obama’s relationship with Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and knowing that turnabout is fair play that either the candidates would have turned down the invitation or Swanson would have turned down his rhetoric. Neither of those things happened.

Thanks to the Rachel Maddow Show, you do not have to listen to the madness, I think it is slightly less painful to read it.  Here is part of what the man of God had to say:

“There are families whose – we’re talking Christian families, pastors’ families, elders’ families in good godly churches – their sons are rebelling, hanging out with homosexuals and getting married. And the parents are invited.

“What would you do if that was the case? Here’s what I would do. Sack cloth and ashes at the entrance to the church. And I’d sit in cow manure and I’d spread it all over my body. That’s what I’d do.  And I’m not kidding. I’m not laughing. I’m grieving. I’m mourning. I’m pointing out the problem!

“It’s not a gay time! These are the people with the sores, the gaping sores. The sores that are pusy and gross and people are coming in and carving happy faces on pusy sores. That’s not a nice thing to do. Don’t you dare carve happy faces on open, pusy sores. Don’t you ever do that…. America needs to hear the message. We are messed up.”

He went on to say that the Bible demands the death penalty for homosexuality.

At a gathering that included 3 GOP presidential candidates, one of whom (Cruz) had been asked by CNN about hanging out with this disgusting person, he did not hold back.  There was no need to. Cruz, Jindal and Huckabee accepted. 11 others declined the invitation. Jindal and Huckabee, are not important, they can run until the end of time and neither of them will sit at the desk in the Oval office, but Cruz, the man whose facial expressions makes my skin crawl, that man could be elected President of the United States. He could be in the White House with the ability to issue executive orders. That man who was willing to share a stage with a homophobic lunatic named Kevin Swanson.

The next time someone says to you, I am not voting, my vote makes no difference, tell him or her about Kevin Swanson and the Governor, ex-Governor and Senator who all were with him at the “National Religious Liberties Conference in November 2015 in Des Moines, Iowa, listening to the swill that the leader of the conference was spouting in the name of God.

One Million Moms—I heard that name and thought of MADD.  Not. The Million Moms is a cover for a group of Right Wing Republicans haters.

It has about 81,000 likes on Facebook and decided to attack the magazine American Girl for publishing a story about a gay couple who have not only adopted 4 children, but have started a charity which provides foster children with a suitcase filled with necessities and some niceties, so they are not going from home to home with their belongings in a black plastic bag.

This is on their Facebook page:

“One Million Moms is extremely disappointed that American Girl, owned by Mattel, is promoting sin in the November/December 2015 issue of its magazine. On pages 28-31 of the magazine is an article titled “Forever Family” about adoption from foster care, which would have been wonderful if they had not decided to include a large picture of a girl with her two dads, Daddy and Dada, and three other adopted children. 1MM supports adoption and taking care of orphans as we are biblically instructed to do in Psalm 82:3, but American Girl could have focused the article on the child and not about the parents since it is a magazine for children. American Girl is attempting to desensitize our youth by featuring a family with two dads. If your child has not seen this yet, then be careful she is not exposed and can avoid a premature conversation she is far too young to understand. Scripture says multiple times that homosexuality is wrong, and God will not tolerate this sinful nature. American Girl doesn’t highlight other sins in their magazine. Tell them as long as American Girl is pushing the homosexual agenda to children, your family will no longer be able to support the company, its magazine, or purchase its products.

The Scheer family were guests on WTTG. Listen to the video and see 4 beautiful healthy children living in a love filled home.

The Scheers unlike those spewing hate at everyone who is not a 2^nd or 3^rd generation Caucasian are practicing Family Values and I wish them and their family the very best that life has to offer.
