There never seems to be a shortage of right-wing Christian extremists spewing out vitriolic nonsense, but Pastor Logan Robertson has risen to the top of the flock this week by tripling down on hate.
The story starts with Jim Marjoram, a self-proclaimed gay Christian who has written a book about his experience in the church and his faith. He sent an email out to around 400 churches about his project, and received a reply he could hardly believe.
Pastor Robertson of the Westcity Bible Baptist Church wrote “we are not interested in your filthy lifestyle or book,” adding, “I pray that you will commit suicide, you filthy child molesting fag.”
Jim contacted the media with the outrageous email, and New Zealand’s ONE News took the story. Openly gay reporter Matt McLean called Pastor Robertson to request an interview, and on the phone the pastor told Matt that he hoped he too would commit suicide, and that he doesn’t give interviews to “filthy faggots.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The Pastor did grant a straight journalist an interview, however, and said:
“I think every single one of them should be put to death. Christians shouldn’t be doing it, I’m not going to do it, it’s the Government’s job to be doing it.”
Jim told ONE News he isn’t angry with the pastor, but he does hope people realize that what Logan is preaching “isn’t love.”
He also wanted to give a special thanks to the homophobic pastor for helping him promote his book. Boom.

Baffling how men like this can hold these views in the 21st century. That’s two pastors in less than a week to demand our collective deaths. Chilling, but oddly humorous as well.
My only fear is that the followers of these men will be inspired to act on behalf of these loons. Remember, Manson never killed anyone – his followers did it for him.

Talk about gay face! I see little pee-pee big gay bear face…and always a bottom. Nothing wrong with that…had a few myself…great to cuddle with but that guy has some BIG skeletons in his closet.

Wrong to paint all Christians as bigots, haters and homophobes but idiots like “Pastor” Robertson make it so easy. I also wonder why so many outspoken religious wachjob fools are named Robertson?
Xzamilio
When it all boils down to it, religion no longer has the beneficial purpose it once had thousands of years ago during an age of justified ignorance and superstition. Who cares if not all Christians are homophobes, bigots or haters… they all still believe in woo woo mythology that can be traced back to a clear beginning and can also be traced back to other beliefs and religions that predate it b

I’m sorry but normal straight guys just don’t care. When someone has that much irrational hatred it’s always coming from within. No different then the ex gays. Except for them they turn it inward.
It is interesting in sociological POV though what religion can do to someone’s head.

Not seeing gay-face on this one… more like “hooker hound with a side of meth in a roadside motel.”

This guy claims his “church” meets in his living room. The facebook page, website etc for his “church” are sparse & all setup within the last month or so.
Basically a looser troll who wants to ape US fundies & be hated “for Jesus sake”. Sad git!
Oh yeah as for his claim to be a Baptist here’s the NZ Baptist National Leader reaching out on GAYNZ (the main LGBTI news site (yes that’s how it’s done in NZ Baptist leaders sitting down & talking with LGBTI people ^& press!)
http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16150.php
The national union of Baptist churches has confirmed Westcity Bible Baptist Church is not a member, and says it’s appalled by its leader’s comments.
Reverend Craig Vernall, who leads the 245-member Baptist Churches of New Zealand, has told GayNZ.com Daily News the Westcity Bible Baptist Church has no affiliation with the network.
“I’m appalled by the comments made by the West City Baptist church Pastor Logan Robertson,” he says.
“It’s unfathomable to me that any Christian would pray for someone to commit suicide. We cannot and never would endorse his comments.”
The group of Baptist churches currently has a working party looking at marriage equality. Currently its pastors do not act as celebrants in same-sex marriage ceremonies.

The bible says religious leaders murdered Jesus so you cannot trust a religious leader who murders the teachings of Jesus.

Any religion, are we the least bit surprised at all, The cross is no different symbol, then the KKK burning cross sign, or the swastika. Remember what they say about gays in the bible.

Any half-wit can call himself a “Pastor”. It’s a non-title. Meaningless. But it gives the truly fascist bigot a podium to do unchristian things, and say unchristian things. They are not deserving of anything but contempt and possibly laughter at their ignorance. They don’t represent anything, or anyone other than themselves and like to (for some reason) prove to everyone else how ignorant, stupid and hateful their wasted lives really are.

Anything to get your book promoted Jim? You make us Gay Christians look bad, but I’ll recover.
In the pastor’s defense there does need to be less common ground shared between us as homosexuals, and with those who molest children. I personally find the “space sharing” completely repulsive myself. The pastor was quoted as saying, “I pray that you will commit suicide, you filthy child molesting fag.” That seems to really be what the pastor was really reacting against although I wouldn’t have accused Jim outright of holding such beliefs. But then I know what it really means to be a Christian. I wish the rest of you had some morals.

@Ladbrook: Baffling how you hold your views as a gay man you filthy, small minded rasist! Pot calling the kettle black again are you? No, you’d outright call the kettle a ni**er!
Wretches like you are the reason why there is such violent response to us gay men.

@Stache99: Wow! You have some nerve calling out “irrational hatred” you confirmed bitch ass.
Nice try (you bitter, old, two faced rasist), but then you yourself only came out of the closet hoping that being called gay would be an ample smokescreen to affording you the leverage you seeked to start spewing out your own form of race hatred “under the radar”. So, now religion is the culprit too? Hmph. Likely story.

Go get help, because you obviously have HIV related mental problems.

You can’t have that much hate without the majority of it being self hate.

This is huge news over here! But the best part is all his hate has done is show exactly how awesome kiwis in general are. Various protests have been announced, his “church’s” and his personal FB profiles have been flooded with messages ranging in emotion varying from disappointment to rage. Basically. This guy has absolutely no support other than his 100 or so followers! Sucks to be him right now lol

Actually, this is about normal for religious conservatives. It provides the opportunity they seek to be arrogant, vain, malicious and wilfully ignorant. Otherwise, they would be nothing.

Remember that saying or if you never heard it. The ones that scream the loudest against us. Are gay themselves. Just saying. And I wonder what his man thinks about his mouth.

@Saint Law: I don’t know bitch you tell me? Do you wear a Ku Klux Klan’s robe at yours? I suppose you do bitch, but I still don’t see how you play the part of a self loathing homosexual so well. Maybe you can let us in how it is that you go about committing so much debauchery against yourself one day. Keep believing that entire world who hates you must be one person. I’m sure your shrink will love the bill he gets to send your crazy bitch ass one day. You love speaking to me so much just keep mentioning bitch. Funny how you supposedly self righteous homosexuals need to be taught a lesson on how to honest with yourself so that you can appropriately come out the closet about your obsessions in life. Ask a two year old what to say next bitch. You’re about half that IQ!
I'm Black, and HIV-Positive.
@buffnightwing: Which means your post wouldn’t be allowed either bitch, so I suggest you slow your fucking roll acting like you didn’t just jump into the middle of something that didn’t concern your bitch ass in the first place. You can take your two cents and shove em up your ass! The way I see it you chose sides, and now you trying act cute with you beer goggles on. But bitch wasn’t nobody trying to make your friendship no way, so you can just stay out of it, and as for your jealous friend you can tell her that she her commentary ain’t no great shakes any way you slice it. I suggest you think about all that before the next time you want to call out who’s got the mental illness around here bitch, because the way I see it you need to stop acting like you know somebody from somewhere in the first place, and just straight up mind your fucking business while you ain’t doing nothing but salivating at the chance to choose sides, and jump in the middle your damn self.

@Stache99: I’m so glad you did realize you were told bitch, because nobody was impressed with your faking ass neither.

Funny that he is wearing gay scruff, i.e., a trend that started (this time) with gay men and is still more popular among gay men than straight.

All he is doing is preaching hate ! There is a difference between Religion and being a Christian. What would he do if a lot of gay ppl showed up there, I would love to see that!
RevJim
“Preaching love” isn’t the issue. Jesus Himself didn’t always preach love; a good example of this is when He made a whip and forced the money-changers and merchants out of the Temple for “turning My Father’s House into a den of thieves”. The Gospel isn’t all about “preaching love”, it’s about preaching TRUTH, and “Pastor” Robertson’s violent rantings represent everything that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is NOT. Robertson is not a Christian pastor, he is a Nazi cultist, and I intend to see to it that Robertson is defrocked by the convention – if in fact he is even an anointed Baptism minister. The Baptist Convention is no friend of homosexuals, that’s true; but they are less friends of murderous vigilanties.

@DarkSinisterFemmeGirl: Well thats exactly whats happening this weekend so we shall see.. MWAHAHAHA!

@RevJim: It has been confirmed by the Baptist Churchs of New Zealand that he is in fact, NOT, an ordained minister. Go figure. According to them, “Baptist” is not a franchise and can be taken by any person or group wishing to use the name to identify themselves. However he does not have a congregation or a church building or meeting space. He has established a church website thereby claiming to be a church. Therefore his desire to call himself a pastor is entirely fraudulent.

@buffnightwing: This fake bitch said what? She’s trying to call foul, and then trying to hide it in a fucking football reference as marker that someone else around here is being a faker. So then that clearly is projection right? Yeah. Because that takes the cake on being a fake bitch. But just yet let me handle this fake bitch like this…
Buddnightwing! Fake this? Fake that? Bitch, you clearly are the faker around here as there is no such thing as not being allowed to call your fake bitch ass a fake bitch as many times as your fake bitch ass is being a fake bitch! Now get the picture yet you fake bitch? Good you fake bitch! And keep that in mind you fake bitch. Because if you keep this up then you’ll really be impressed at just how many times I can call your fake bitch ass a fucking whiny, crybaby, fake bitch next instead! You fake bitch!

@RevJim: I know its not all about preaching love but this guy is full of hate and spreading it around to anyone who will listen.
Truth-is-Truthy
Any student of history will be able to quickly recognize that what this “Pastor” is advocating is identical to the policies and practices of the Roman Catholic Church from the 8th to 19th century, namely that the government should be the sword of the Church. Executions, torture, and genocide were practiced by governments ruling under “Divine Right”, killing people with the blessing of Popes, Cardinals and priests. If United States Protestantism falls into the same behavior then they will be nothing but a copy of the ‘mother Church’. Displaying the robe of Christ while preaching the death of others is not only hypocritical but entirely contrary to the very spirit of tolerance and love as taught by Jesus himself. The congregation where this “Pastor” serves should be embarrassed by his words and behavior and should immediately remove him from his post.
katymylady
I consider myself a conservative Christian. Although I guess I’m not conservative enough for this guy. Jesus is LOVE people!!! Not the hate that this “gentleman” (used loosely) is spewing. True, the Bible does say homosexuality is a sin. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT!! We have a New Testament folks. The New Covenant washes the old away. It says so in the Bible. No one should be condemned to death for loving another human being. If I didn’t have such a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, I would turn my back on religion all together.
And for those of you who say you hate Christians. Please don’t. Not all of us are calling for your death. I much prefer to get to know people before I decide whether or not I dislike them. It’s sad that we all have to have a us against them mentality.

Hello,
Maybe he should have practiced anal douching before he asked his “significant other” to, for example. engage in anal intercourse. Also, I think it is likely that he has experimented and used a finger.
Quote: “I know many “religious,” perhaps even religious people that like a secret sex life with anal, will say that the bible forbids homosexuality. In the USA, only 16% of the population is “not affiliated” with a religion[6], and I don’t expect “all” of that 16% to be doing anal. As such, it is likely that greater than 9% of ‘religious’ people have experimented with anal and many may still be partaking since other research has shown that at least 25% of Americans have done anal. If two “religious” parents partake in and like anal because it can be enjoyable, are they hypocrites for disowning a “gay male” for becoming gay–especially since the homosexual decision might be due to biological reasons?”[1]
If he would just let it “stretch,” he might find out that more than a little pain is involve. Something that can be an AMAZING experience–Just true! 🙂 Yes, I am assuming.

It’s so called Christians like him that give the rest of us a bad name. We are supposed to love everyone regardless of anything they do and on top of that homosexuality is not a sin

So basically, he is asking the US Government to do the same as the Jewish chief priests and elders of the Bible asked the Roman government to do to Jesus. No good can come from an evil tree.

I don’t know who this person pretending to be straight is however, maybe he should commit suicide. I hate homophobic pigs. If anyone wants to message him you can go to Facebook and type in Logan Robertson. I understand people have a right of say but when it comes to hateful messages like his, then we need to stand up and say enough is enough.

What a very silly little man the pastor is, his ideas are irrelevant. The fact he has other people who share his beliefs should be of no interest to anyone has even the barest smattering of education. The same applies to I’m Black, and HIV-Positive, why do people here even bother reading what he writes let alone replying. Two more absurd individuals would be difficult to find….even amongst the sea of loons who have access to a computer. But I must admit….the pastor is kind of hot…..
