Last week, the ruinously antigay pastor Kevin Swanson — who’s made a career out of calling for the execution of gay people — dedicated a radio show to attacking Girl Scouts leaders for supporting LGBTQ rights and the rights of women.
These efforts, he feels, are worthy of death.
He claims Girl Scout Leaders have flagrantly violated the teachings of Jesus, which clearly state that it’s better for someone to have a millstone hung around their neck and tossed into the sea than force a child to sin.
Kevin Swanson wants this teaching to be applied quite literally.
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.
Criticizing The Girl Scouts because it “promotes lesbianism” and films like the Harry Potter franchise and How To Train Your Dragon for featuring “homosexual mentors provided to little boys,” Swanson claims that we must act on Jesus’ teachings against debasing children with these “movies that promote homosexuality or organizations that promote homosexuality.”
“You’ve got to take what He says and you have to apply it.”
Listen to his rant below.

According to scientist Richard Dawkins, religion is the root of all evil. I agree with him.

Extremism !

Ted Cruz, Bobby Jindal and Mike Huckabee are all fans, and have met with this guy.
But the media will probably never mention that part of it.

Quite apart from the fact that Jesus said NOTHING about homosexuality, what part of “Thou shalt not kill” does this guy not understand?

One of these days, one of these extremists is gonna pull the trigger. I see it happening and I’m not sure what will come of that. There are two you tube guys who spring to mind that I totally can see murdering someone in the near future in the name of God. I hope it never happens, ever, but if it does maybe some people will see that rhetoric can turn into deadly reality; and a human life, no matter how fabulous, is worth more than religion.

Poor attention-starved little media whore…he’s gotta work hard to out dumb-ass his previous statements

The real problem is the fact that he maintains a following after such hateful sermonizing.

Given the amount of influence that he [purportedly] has with the white trash, and the number of lives that Swanson has the potential to ruin, I think it would be far easier and better to just execute Swanson.
Billy Budd
The pastor is nasty and the sheep are stupid.

Why isn’t TRUSted (TransRectalUltraSoundTed) apologizing over and over for being hosted by Keven Swanson, the man wanting to execute gays? Nancy was no help to gays nearly 30 years ago, Keven Swanson is repeatedly calling for gays to be killed now, today, presently, in 2016. TrusTed went to his festive gathering, heard the man saying these things, and still ambled up onto the stage like John Wayne afterwards. GOP party is obsolete. trusTed is an ass.

@John Begin:
” The real problem is the fact that he maintains a following after such hateful sermonizing. ”
It is a problem and it seems popular among all kinds of conservatives. The best way to combat such attitudes is to expose them. Mature mindedness will easily recognize junk public discourse. Hateful, scornful, mean spirited religious rhetoric is even worse. Fortunately, preachers like this are few and far between.

I hope someday this man allows Jesus into his heart because it’s clear from how hate and rage filled he is that it hasn’t happened yet…

Keep talkin’ Kevvy. The more you say, the more you prove beyond doubt, what a bullshit religion Christianity is, how big a nutcase you are, and why being religious is an affliction that should be treated. If you want Humanity and Compassion join the Atheists or Buddhists. Christianity is for hateful NutJobs.

so what… JUDAH is a jewish conversion therapy thing and ISIS tosses gay people off buildings… those three religions are nuts…
