Normal people don't look at others and think "they want our children [sexually]." 🤮 I'm unaware of any proof that LGBTQ+ folks prey on kids at higher rates than cishet predators. They need to check this guy's computer and keep him away from children...
"It's a good thing that our current situation couldn't get any worse."
Situation: [gets worse]
As an LGBTQ+ American, I urge such evangelicals to execute themselves.
Now we know what the camps are really for.
Remove their tax-exempt status. The distinct separation of church and state should prevent this murderous group of sycophants from tax-free status.
Did Jesus ever say a single word about LGBTQIA+ issues ever?
Morgan Freeman voice: He didn't.
Unfortunately, say goodbye to removal of tax exempt status: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/us/politics/irs-churches-politics-endorse-candidates.html

Well, I hereby urge Trump to execute Stephen Falco, the evangelical preacher with the Sure Foundation Baptist Church. He believes in a demonic version of God that creates LGBT people and them judges them harshly for it. He in fact does not actually worship God, he worships the Devil. And he will burn in Hell for eternity for it. He's therefore a heretic and demon worshiper, and he deserves to be executed for blaspheming the good name of the Creator. I believe the traditional punishment is burning at the stake.
If he can advocate my execution, then I can damn well advocate for his.
It's interesting, and by interesting I mean horrifying, that these outspoken hateful religious leaders assume that just because gay people give in to the homosexual desires everybody obviously has, they will also give in to the pedophilia that everybody obviously has.
The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.
But, you know, if someone were to take matters in their own hands, we'll just wash out hands in innocence and act like we didn't do anything
Yeah, this sounds an awful lot like "oh please won't someone take the law into their own hands."
How long until it's relieved he's paying for gay prostitutes or touching kids?
I'm sure Epstein provided this guy with little girls. When that comes out, who knows.
Evangelicals are Christofascists
Period
These fuckos should go into one of their classrooms and view the state mandated list of commandments for what NUMBER FUCKING SIX is. These are not real Christians, or real Catholics, or even real people. If you lack the most basic tenets of humanity how do you call yourself a human? You KNOW if anybody else stepped up to the mic and said all evangelical leaders who shamelessly, GLEEFULLY exploit and extort personal wealth from their 'flock' while rocking a pure white demonic smile should be parted with the entirety of their skin and thrown in salt pits in the desert to await their God, they would probably have some shit to say. What's good for the Goose and such...
Edit: religious illiteracy showing.
I'm surprised we haven't heard from the Westboro Baptist Church lately. Maybe they think their schtick has become normalized.
They lost steam when Fred Phelps died. Also they became normalized. But largely they were pissing off everyone on purpose. They protested the funerals of both gay people and soldiers
"Christianity is a modern, tolerant, peace loving religion! Not like those other ones!"
5 minutes in to Christian theocratic control
"KILL THE UNDESIRABLES! THEY OFFEND THE CHRISTIAN GOD'S BLESSED EYES!"
That's 15 minutes from my house. Fuck this state.
Whatever you do don't harass them in any way.
Step one, poop in a paper bag.
Step two, light the bag on fire.
Step three, laugh at Preacher Poop Shoes.
Step 4, demolish the preacher's house with him in it.
He won’t be able to run due to the poop shoes.
best of luck.

Place your best now about the odds that Trump tries to make being LGBTQ a capital offense. I'm going with 10%, which is already too high for me.
We often point out how modern christians would crucify Jesus again today, but they also hate listening to what he said in the Bible. Take the plank out of your own eyes you sorry excuses for people.
Absolutely. Jesus was a middle eastern man who preached caring for the sick and poor and hated the commercialization of religion. It's like they stopped reading when they they got to Leviticus.
Let's be real, most of them didn't even start reading it.
The wages of sin is death. So execute everyone.
Christians are such wonderful people, aren't they? So tolerant.
Other Christians don't care for them. From their google reviews:
This church is nothing more than a cult disguised as Christianity. They don’t preach the gospel—they preach fear, control, and manipulation. Instead of leading people to Christ, they demand blind loyalty to their leadership, excommunicate anyone who questions them, and tear down other churches rather than spreading love and grace.
Their toxic, legalistic teachings distort salvation, pushing a works-based doctrine that contradicts Ephesians 2:8-9. They divide families, encouraging members to cut off anyone who doesn’t conform. Instead of strengthening faith, they use spiritual abuse to control people. If you’re looking for a real church that follows Jesus, stay far away from this place.
One Christian criticizing another is just typical inter-sect conflict found in most religions. People who are fundamentally kind or fundamentally cruel will both find and interpret passages to support their views. But because it’s “god’s word” they will always refuse to waiver in the face of logic or common sense.
The problem is that all religion provides fertile ground for both extremists and con artists to grow – in this case both.
There is no hate like Christian love
This comment got me in Facebook jail a couple of years ago.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Tax churches, make them keep playing the victim when they need to justify just how much they are fleecing from their congregation
One day, sooner than later, we're going to have to deal with the American Taliban.
damn that pastor looks like a literal neanderthal who just melted out of the ice
So, he's going to be prosecuted for inciting violence and making threats, right?
