For the Love of God

At Sure Foundation Baptist Church, a storefront affair in Indianapolis, it was "Men's Preaching Night."

Since women aren't allowed to preach, the name strikes me as redundant.

Anyway, on June 29, church member Stephen Falco offered a sermon tied to Pride Month. "Why do I hate sodomites, why do I hate faggots? Because they attack children,” he ranted."They’re coming after your children, they are attacking them in schools today, and not only schools, in public places, and they’re proud about it!"

Falco then declared gays should shoot themselves in the head. The Farce is strong with this one.

A few days later, the church responded to the ensuing criticism—by doubling down. 

"The Bible is crystal clear that sodomites (homosexuals) deserve the death penalty carried out by a government that actually cares about the law of God," said a Facebook message signed by Evangelist Justin Zhong.

So now it's the government that should kill us. Saves me having to buy a gun.

It's safe to say that Christian love isn't motivating these fellas. I suspect they preach violent homophobia and post it on YouTube because they want more than the 35 folks they get on an average Sunday.

For I believe it was Jesus who implored, "Don't hide your hate under a bushel."

The House has approved Donald Trump's "one big beautiful bill."

How do you feel?

The thing is, billionaires don't NEED a tax cut. They already have more money than they could ever hope to spend.

So why does the Republican spending bill give them one, at the cost of health care for the sick and food for the hungry?

To harm those they see as undeserving.

Jimmy Swaggart, who died today at age 90, wasn't as virulent on the subject of homosexuality as fellow televangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.

In 2004, well after he was caught cavorting with female prostitutes, Swaggart spoke of his opposition to same-sex marriage. "I’ve never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry," the Pentecostal preacher told his congregation.

"And I’m going to be blunt and plain: If one ever looks at me like that, I’m going to kill him and tell God he died," he said to laughter.

Swaggart later apologized. But gay men were understandably offended that he threatened murder. Other gay men were offended at the idea that they could be so lacking in taste as to hit on him in the first place.
