On the website of Pastor Steven Anderson’s church, the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, you’d find him boasting about the fact that he, “holds no college degree but has well over 140 chapters of the bible memorized word-for-word, including approximately half of the New Testament.”
And where has this blind rote memorization with absolutely zero cognitive thinking skills led him? Why, to the cure for AIDS of course!
Not only does Pastor Anderson hold the key to curing AIDS in the evolutionary disabled organ he calls his brain, but he thinks he could do away with the disease by Christmas.
He employed that handy Bible of his to discover the cure, which he shared with his congregation recently:
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.
“I actually discovered the cure for AIDS,” he began, asking his parish to open their bibles toLeviticus 20:13.”Everybody’s talking about, ‘Let’s have an AIDS-free world by 2020.’ Look, we can have an AIDS-free world by Christmas,” he continued like a true snake oil salesman.
Then he got to the meat of the argument:
“Here’s what the bible says, Leviticus 20:13. ‘If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, it says, even both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.”
And then the kicker:
“And that, my friend, is the cure for AIDS. It was right there in the Bible all along — and they’re out spending billions of dollars in research and testing. It’s curable — right there. Because if you executed the homos like God recommends, you wouldn’t have all this AIDS running rampant.”
Where to even start? All we can hope is that someone close to Pastor Dipshit finds it in their hearts to try and bring him a few inches back down closer to the real world.
That would be a Christmas miracle.
Watch the whole mess here:

He’s probably deeply closeted. Anyone who hates this much hates himself even more.

It’s ironic that my proposed cure for idiot preachers is the exact same cure he proposes for AIDS.

No college education, per the church’s website. No surprises there. Meets in a small office in a strip center. “Thousands saved” hahahahaa. Well, they sure aren’t showing up to his services. Sadly, though, there are probably 100 congregants in the video, which is 100 too many.

Who goes to churches like this? Somebody is listening to this guy and believing it. This man’s not funny. He’s dangerous.

Um….he just threatened genocide. He is exactly the type of person who should be “dealt with” before something happens.

They only bring up the Old Testament when it’s convenient…so how about eating shellfish? Stoning Adulterers (There goes the GOP)? Stoning unruly children? Making divorce illegal? Wearing diferent threads ? Your woman not sitting in her menstrual chair when she has THE CURSE?

Idk, but isn’t this hate speech, or worse, the inciting of violence. Guy is obviously gunning for, ahem, attention; more kindly, he should be arrested.

“…has well over 140 chapters of the bible memorized word-for-word, including approximately half of the New Testament.” Well, hell, no wonder he’s so crazy!

Even without hearing his voice I could tell he was gay coz peops who make the kind of statements he has always are. Always.
He’ll end up raped in prison and enjoy it.

Why do “STRAIGHT” Pastors or “STRAIGHT” men spend so much time obsessing over GAY MEN???? Is there no football game on? Is there wife unavailable for sex? Golf? Baseball? Soccer? What gives?

After Rev. Hitler eradicates us, he’ll have to take on all the cases throughout Africa. The Africans are far worse than we are and many times more in numbers than us

One of the sky monster’s 10 commandments was “throw shalt not kill”. No where in the commandments does it say ” Thow shalt not be homosexual”. If it was that important shouldn’t an omnipotent omniscient being who created the entire universe put down that important point in his commandments? Since we are talking Leviticus, how about all that “eating the flesh of your children” part.

Honestly, this Steven Anderson guy reeks “closet case” in my opinion. It would not surprise me if he’s had sex with men. His mouth is almost the perfect shape for a large penis. Look, if you’ve done it, Steve, don’t be ashamed of it. Treat it as part of your growing phase.

@alanh1249: Not true. What a lot of people do not know is that, even though Africa has more then two times the population of the US, the United States actually has more ” documented” HIV/AIDS cases. What Africa has is more “estimated” HIV/AIDS cases, where the majority is based on totally different criteria, then in the US or Europe.
In Africa,
1. a fever:
2.Weight loss, usually of 10% or more:
3.Dry cough:
4.and Diarrhea:
This would be enough to qualify an African as having HIV/AIDS: Yes without an HIV antibody test. And this has been the case for the past 20 yrs.
All that being said, this pastor is proof that religion is dangerous.
Ladbrook
This “sermon” is the kind of dark dangerous rhetoric that Nazis used to preach to generate anger toward the Jewish population in Germany. The sad part is that if one of his loony parishioners takes his advice and harms someone, he’ll be at a microphone in less that five minutes claiming that his words were just “metaphor” yadayada blahblahblah. And then he’ll blame the LGBT community for denying him his rights to free speech, religious liberty, etc.
And the Right wonders why people don’t go to church anymore. Here’s reason #32,598.
Mikah
Considering the fact that the vast majority of H.I.V and A.I.D.S victims worldwide are heterosexuals and african children and we have the infected monkeys and apes that the disease reportedly derived from,as well as disease carrying mosquitoes,I doubt that this mass execution of hundreds of millions of LGBT individuals who aren’t infected would solve this crisis.Just a thought.

Killing all Gay men is not going to cure Aids since far more heteros have it worldwide.
The bible has many cures for anything from disobedient children to people of other faiths ie execution. These dipshits are so blinded by hate that logic is like a 4 letter word for them.
Very disturbing listening to this little Hitler up there talking about Genocide and his fellow bigots heard agreeing with him.

@Tackle: Your logic was true in the 80s but since then a simple test can confirm.

The Bible also forbids eating pork. It’s considered a sin to eat pork, I wonder if he’s ever had pork or bacon products. Hmmmm.
transiteer
This fascist fool doesn’t know his bible very well does he?? Eating shellfish (does he go to Red Lobster?) is an abomination 9 times over! Plus women who don’t cover their heads are an abomination too. This guy is just a con-man appealing to the base hatreds of stupid people and there’s no shortage of them. He should know perfectly well, that the Bible is a collection of rants put together by the Emperor Constantine to politically unify his Empire. Which is understandable as the Emperors Vespasian and Titus invented the Christian relgion in the first place. But this nazi buffoon is probably making a good living at being unchristian, uncharitable and espousing more the Gospel of Adolph than anyone else.

@Tackle: I believe you are mistaken. The number of AIDS cases in sub-Saharan Africa is about ten times the number in Canada and the US. In South Africa alone, where I live and the diagnosis is very reliable the number is about 5.6 million, most of whom are heterosexual, compared to US with about 1.1 million. It is easy enough to check the figures.
Stache99
@Tackle: All you have to do is quick google search on say Wikipedia. When they say cases that means it’s been documented as HIV which makes the US still a drop in the bucket. However, the true figure is much worse that since the majority that are carrying the disease don’t know they have it.
“Africa leads the world with respect to both HIV prevalence and total number of cases, with more than 24.5 million cases comprising more than 60% of the world’s HIV-positive people. The 19 countries worldwide with the highest prevalence of reported infections are all in Africa. South Africa is reported to have the largest population living with the disease, at well over 5 million people infected, followed by Ghana in second place. India comes in third, with more than 2 million cases. This, however, is not due to a high prevalence rate, but to India’s large overall population.
The prevalence rate of HIV in India is 0.3%, which is much lower than that of countries such as the United States (0.6%) and South Africa (18.10%).[1]”

Not very Christian is he?

@Stache99: You failed to understand what I wrote. Yes a test CAN confirm someones status: I did not say that it cannot. And that’s the point. In sub-Sahara Africa, the test are hardly used, and do not need to be used. To classify in HIV/AIDS case in sub-Sahara Africa, the Bangui definition: adopted in 1985, by the CDC and WHO, are the definitions (4) I described in my first post…
Tackle
@ait10101:And you also failed to understand what I wrote. The so-called: ten times the number of AIDS cases that you say sub-Sahara Africa has, (more than) Canada & the US, is an ESTIMATED number, due in part based upon the Bangui destination of 1985. Now sub-Sahara Africa, could have more AIDS case, or less. But the point I made, and it’s true, is that the US has more DOCUMENTED HIV/AIDS cases. And that’s hard for people to believe…
And BTW 5.6 million cases in SA, is bases on estimates. No country has counted and documented 5.6 million AIDS cases…

@ait10101: Seems pretty typical of American Christians to me, only more vocal about it.

It amazes me that people site and link wikipedia, like it’s infallible. All knowing. 100% correct, from the mouth of god. When all it does is goes back to sources I mentioned above, which clearly outlines that these are estimates…

@ait10101: No, he isn’t being very Christian ait10101. You are right. It’s embarrassing how he forgets himself. As a Gay Christian I will personally apologize for his display of absentmindedness.
@Stache99: Googling Wikipedia is your idea of fact checking? Get a clue you internet hack. Thou art daft!
