For generations, millions of American citizens have happily put their lives on hold to sit around and wait for Jesus to come. Though, judging by recent predictions, it’s hard to see what they’re so excited about.

For instance, Family Research Council’s Jerry Boykin predicts that when Christ comes back to take what is rightfully his, he’ll be carrying an AR-15 assault rifle. (Isn’t that a country song?) Endtime preachers believe Donald Trump is being used to trumpet the Second Coming, which poises Jesus as an exterminating angel if there ever was one.
Now, we can add the always heinous extremist Theodore Shoebat to the mix, who, in his trademark Old Navy regalia, said last week that Jesus Christ will be coming soon to slaughter all the gay people.
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.

“In a biblical society,” he states, “every fag would be rounded up and killed. But that’s not going to happen, but believe me, when Jesus comes back, Jesus is going to kill all these sodomites. You’re going to be praying to be living under a Catholic society from the Middle Ages because when Jesus comes back, it’s going to be a lot more brutal.”

“He’s going to find all you bastards and he’s going to slaughter every single one of you,” said Shoebat, smiling for the camera. “I can’t wait for that day to come. It’s going to be a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful world.”
Well, if you gotta go, it beats cancer.
Watch Theodore Shoebat’s latest rant below:

So every loony toon with an internet connection merits a mention now?

Does this guy set off alarm bells for anyone else. I hope the authorities have him on a watch list before he totally cracks and decides to take matters into his own hands.
Mo Bro
The guy’s demented, as are all believers in religion.
Go to YouTube to witness Muslims saying the exact same thing about us before Orlando.

When “Jesus” comes back.
Phew. So we don’t have to worry about it then.

And let’s go back to that golden age when the rantings of this deranged lowlife do not matter.

I’ve been told that being Gay and murder are equally punishable in Hell.
I’ve also been told that if you have these in your mind & heart, it’s just as committing them.
So I told them if that’s the case, there’s going to be a long long line of Christians waiting on the express bus to hell, for all the hate and death they’ve caused through time.
Then they’ll say the have the right to judge and I tell them there’s only one judge of man, that’s God. So your saying your dethroning God?
They quit talking to me…
Bunch of damn phonies & fakes…

So until Jesus comes back and you can tell on us, what if you fundy homophobes just stay away and leave us alone?

He has gay face. Always the closeted ones. No offense to the openly gay. I have gay face at about 1/4 of the day. ;-p
throwslikeagirl
I’d just as soon not read or see anything about people like this in the media. They’ve always existed and always will, but giving them a strong media voice only encourages them.

@Mo Bro: This Christian minister says all gay people should be killed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w83kIAfuKoE
Kangol
And more Christian minister who advocate killing gay people. One endorsed and was embraced by Republican Ted Cruz. Are you just ignoring them? Or do you not worry about them, and only the hateful Muslim ones?
Mo Bro
@Kangol: The only difference being, I can’t seem to find any actual evidence of Jesus-freaks killing innocent gays, but I’ll tell you, the Internet is ripe with stories (and videos! yay!) of Muzzies tossing us off rooftops or slaughtering us in Orlando nightclubs. Common sense dictates which is a bigger threat. Or is evidence such as that that dismissed as simply right-wing propaganda in your circle?
Kangol
@Mo Bro: Do you not read the news? Do you not know about gay, trans and queer people who’re being killed or violently beaten and attacked because of Christian evangelical fanatics, in Brazil? Jamaica? Uganda? Russia? Are you unaware of how many LGBTIQ people in this country STILL commit suicide, self-abuse and destroy themselves because of Christian hom0phobia? Just look at the statistics! Or do you not pay attention to the world unless Muslims are involved? Yes, those Islamists are a huge threat, and not just to gay people, but Christian evangelical fanatics are horrible too. I’m not dismissing anything as “right-wing propaganda,” but I don’t get why you remain so blind to Christian anti-gay rhetoric and fanaticism. WHY?
Kangol
Here are anti-gay attacks in Russia alone, and please keep in mind, the Russian Orthodox Church hierachy is very anti-gay, champions Russia’s anti-gay laws, and condones anti-gay violence.
Violence against LGBTQ people in Brazil is at epidemic levels, and many of its leading champions are Christian evangelicals. One of the worst is the extreme right-wing, Christian evangelical politician Jair Bolsonaro, potentially the country’s next president, who also advocates dictatorship, slaughtering gays, and killing black street children, among other horrors.
Paco
Self-loathing closet cases, that think they can rid themselves of their desires by eliminating it from the world, are so sad to watch. Textbook case.
rbernard
This is what happens when a bigoted 30 year old self loathing homosexual masturbates too much while living in their extremist religious parents basement.

Christianity and Islam both suck… but currently, Islam sucks more. And it sucks more because for some reason, those of us willing to call out the atrocities of Christianity are reluctant to do so when it comes to Islam.

@Xzamilio: Well said.
CivicMinded
The right-wing wants to make everyone afraid of Islamic terrorists but terrorism knows no boundaries. It’s religious fundamentalism that creates terrorists. Call it what it is: religious terrorism. They are trying to take over governments. Beware!
Nahald
So now Jesus is going to becomea murderer ? Wow ! And here I thought he was all about peace, love, and understanding . I presume I am wrong.
Xzamilio
@CivicMinded: No, call it what it really is: Islamic religious terrorism. You can keep thinking it’s just the right-wing, but the left is slowly catching on.. and the left needs to catch on because even if the right are a bunch evangelical bible thumping maniacs, the public wants to at least know that someone is acknowledging that the world currently has a problem with “religious terrorism” and a lot of derives from one particular religion.
We condemn those that bomb clinics, that deny us rights as LGBT individuals, that force youth to conversion therapy, and have NO problem calling them “Christian fundies” and “Jesus freaks”… why? Because we aren’t scared of them. We openly mock them. Why, in this case, is it “But, it’s not just Muslims.” Great… no one’s saying that. I guarantee you France will be right leaning when it’s all said and done because Hollande has no chance in hell of another presidency.

I don’t know why would anyone listen to Queen Theodora or the A-hole Imam under him; a bunch of lying cowards that have to threaten others with Jesus or who-ever; as if queens got a direct line to the all-mighty.
Theodora and that Imam can both f*ck off.

@Xzamilio: Out of curiosity, is every strain of Atheism the same?
Xzamilio
@Hussain-TheCanadian: Atheism is a lack of theism… that’s the beautiful thing about it. The only thing we share is a lack of belief in deities, meaning our personal beliefs that we as individuals hold are irrelevant. No tenets to corrupt, no doctrines to misinterpret, no “spiritual being” speaking to us and giving us divine inspiration. So nice try, but that was a weak attempt at a “If all atheists aren’t the same, then all Muslims aren’t the same” as if ONCE AGAIN, I don’t already know that.
Xzamilio
It just boggles the mind of some of you that not anti-Islamic person is some mouth breath red-state loving neanderthal conservative with a bible in one hand and AK-47 in the other. Muh Gawd!!! Muh Gunzz!! Yeah, equally loathe all religions, but not all religions are equal.
Xzamilio
I just massacred the hell out of that post with grammatical errors. Well, that didn’t help my point lol!!!
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Xzamilio: I’m not “trying anything”; I’m simply trying to understand how you think. I’m trying to test out if truelly atheism leads to sound logic….. ………. or not.
So what you’re telling me is, all atheists are uniform, react the same, behave the same, and interpret and respond the same?
If not, why?
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Xzamilio: It seems to me on the one hand you acknowledge wahabi extremism and violence, while on the other hand you say “not all religions are the same” and “islam sucks more”.
When you tell Muslims that their theology is the root cause, rather than saying a Saudi interpretation of it; you’re not that different from those crazy ass evangelical Christians who are itching for a global war with Muslims.
Has it not crossed your mind that there are a lot of people worldwide who want to take revenge on your government and it’s military?
Xzamilio
@Hussain-TheCanadian:
“When you tell Muslims that their theology is the root cause, rather than saying a Saudi interpretation of it; you’re not that different from those crazy ass evangelical Christians who are itching for a global war with Muslims.”
Well, what can I say? A busted clock tells the right time twice a day. I don’t care that there are some points that I and evangelicals agree on, because we DON’T agree on the fact that I find their religion batshit crazy nonsense. Of course, I’m not wishing a global war with Muslims, so there’s that “nice try” you’re not trying again.
“Has it not crossed your mind that there are a lot of people worldwide who want to take revenge on your government and it’s military?”
Oh, so you’re saying it’s the US’s fault when Islamic extremists strap bombs to themselves and murder hundreds/thousands of people? So Indonesia’s problem with Islamic extremism is our fault? Isn’t that nice? It’s not the ideology that needs work… just the way people interpret it, and how we respond to terrorist attacks. Because of course if we criticize Islam and its regressive ideas towards women and LGBT individuals, that’s the real injustice.
Xzamilio
@Hussain-TheCanadian:
“I’m not ‘trying anything’; I’m simply trying to understand how you think. I’m trying to test out if truelly atheism leads to sound logic….. ………. or not.”
Well, I’d say it’s the other way around, that sound logic lead to my atheism. Because keep in mind, I was once a believer before I lost that “sound science” of logic. You’re not saying or doing anything that I haven’t seen or heard before. I know all about this illogical rabbit hole you’re trying to lead me down, which is why you say:
“So what you’re telling me is, all atheists are uniform, react the same, behave the same, and interpret and respond the same?”
When I specifically said the complete opposite of that!! The ONLY thing we share is a lack of belief in a god. Because I clearly do not agree with the self-deprecating regressive atheists bending over backwards to defend the illiberal values of Islam. But you didn’t read that. This is as far as I’m going with you, because you are intellectually dishonest.
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Xzamilio: I think you need to brush up on your government’s history with the Al-Sauds, and how American intelligence recruited, supported, trained and directed the likes of Bin Laden in the 80s against the Russians. Your government, to this day, has done nothing but protect this wahabi cancer; your pentagon sells them weapons while your politicians gives them political cover.
Spare me your Intellectual dishonesty” BS; you don’t want to converse because it is quite clear who is protecting this jihadi Frankenstein, and it sure isn’t the mountains of Tora Bora.
You want to know how to stop terrorist attacks? Your government needs to stop sucking on the teets of the Gulf sheikhdoms and tell them they will pay a heavy price if they don’t stop funding ISIS and it’s ilk. But your politicians won’t, they are as corrupt as your reasoning.
You find revenge as a motif surprising? As if your military has not occupied Iraq and Afghanistan and murdered hundreds of thousands of people.
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Xzamilio: Queen please; as if there are no atheists who want to wipe out Muslims? I do remember that the sith lord himself Sam Harris once said that killing Muslims may not be a bad idea.
So please save me your moral outrage; if you can’t keep up in a discussion then say so, don’t hide behind “intellectual dishonesty”, not while admitting that people are different, and their interpretations are different, but when it comes to religion, it’s all the same, no difference, religion is at fault.
Xzamilio
@Hussain-TheCanadian: Am I Sam Harris? Have I once appealed to Sam Harris? So why the flying fuck do I give a crap what he had to say about eradicating all Muslims — which he didn’t say, by the way, so there’s that lying part of you again. I think you need to brush up in the history of the Middle East and how that shithole has been in a holy war for centuries. You should be ashamed of yourself for even attempting to defend such a regressive, archaic religion that is demonstrably false and demonstrably barbaric… just as barbaric and Christianity and Judaism once were, on the whole. But Christians and Jews worked to reform their religion, and our secular society forced them Christians to do so, which is why when we have stupid ass Christians or dangerous Christians, we have no problem calling them out.
But, you deflect and blame everyone but the fact that your religion is primitive and as progressive as it was for women in the 7th century, it’s regressive and oppressive to women now. It’s not MY government because I had no say or role in the decision to invade Iraq and I don’t support it. But, I’m done with every time an attack is committed by a Muslims, and they tell you it’s because of their faith, regressive assholes like you go to “Blah Blah, Crusades” “Blah Blah, Iraq War” “Blah Blah, Islamophobia”
You damn right I blame the religion… and I blame the people. I blame BOTH. I’m done being nice to you because your Islam apologist BS is dangerous and this is precisely why fascists like Trump have managed to get as far as they have… because we’re letting regressives and fanatics dictate the narrative, and stifling the voices of those who are willing to take an honest look at the problem. You can’t do that.
So fuck you. Consider yourself Captain Obvious and ignored from this point on.
Xzamilio
Anyone taken a look at Indonesia? Or the parts of Africa where Boko Haram have terrorized people? What the fuck do THOSE Islamic groups have to do with the Iraq war? Fuck you regressive asswipes. Trump is your fault, you spineless whiny cowards. He’s a joke that’s not funny anymore, isn’t he? I guess hashtags, and Tumblr posts, and #PrayFor[Insert Country/City/State Here] isn’t getting the attention of terrorists, is it?
Ugh.
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Xzamilio: you come off on calling the middle east a shit hole while you live in a country that has the highest rates of gun violence, low iq in the math and sciences, unhealthiest, gang infested among the top industrial countries?
You cannot demonstrate that Islam is inherently barbaric, you can try, but your polemics are empty. Your hypocrisy and ignorance doesn’t help this discussion further; one thinks that the rise of ISIS has nothing to do with YOUR government invading Iraq, gees I wonder how those baathist come to inhabit the top posts of ISIS?
So you can curse me up all you want, whine like a little child, the truth hurts I know, but your approach and cause will develop nothing and will help nothing.
Oh I forgot, don’t forget to take some “calming pills” you seem upset.
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Xzamilio: who said boko haram have anything to do with Iraq? Being intellectually dishonest are we?
They do have a direct link to wahabism though, propagated by the Saudi government and their madrasas. You should ask your politicians why do they not stop the Saudis in their tracks?
Maybe you should also brush up on the newly released 28 pages that were missing from the 911 report.
Don’t forget to drink your milk darling.
