Parishioners Support North Carolina Pastor’s Plan To Kill Off LGBT People. Is This The Christian Thing To Do?

Yes Christianity is a cult full if fairy tales and people who need medication ao of course this is the Christian thing to do.

Thanks for your comments, Soviet Revolution!

No problem

Get the same damn respect as people who identify as straight. Just because you identify as something else doesn't mean you're going to hell. and i don't see why it's anyone else's concern. it's and individual choice

EXACTLY! Thanks for your comments, Alli!

I can think of a large group of America hating and destroying people I would rather see in a FEMA camp left to die but it is not the LGBT....

As always, you make an excellent point! Thanks for your comments, Selketskiss, and have a good one!

Oh, my! It's a LIGER!

He is quite stunning with that tiger pattern on his face and it fanning out into it his beautiful mane ..I thought you might like it...

Lions and tiggers and bears, oh my!

REAL Christians want LGBT people to be saved and go to heaven, just like everyone. We are ALL sinners and worthy of death, but Jesus came so we don't have to die. Jesus never preached killing off anyone...he preached spreading the Good News.

Jesus always preached that God is Love. I don't remember Christ spreading bigotry and hatred anywhere in the Bible. I totally agree with your opinion, that everybody has the right and the opportunity to be saved and go to Heaven, just like self-righteous charlatans such as Pastor Charles Worley and his judgmental congregation. Evidently, Worley gives short shrift to the passage in the Bible that says, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." True Christians don't wish pain, suffering and death on others, nor do they condemn them to Hell. Thanks for your comments, Nemo!

Exactly! People like Pastor Worley are completely missing the point of Christianity.

Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!
Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!
Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!

Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!
Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!
Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!

Ditto. Thanks for your response, Roger, and have a great day!

As a philosophic Christian I find self-righteous fundamentalists embarrassing.

Fundamentalist Christian charlatans like Pastor Charles Worley have some nerve to put themselves out there as a Man of God. Perhaps HE should take a good look in the mirror, and he might see a few flames coming out of HIS head! Thanks for your comments, rand, and have a wonderful day!

Those ministers who were selling the fear of death have changed tactics and are now selling lust for money. Snake oil salesmen need dupes and know where to find them.

Eventually, most preachers like Pastor Charles Worley succumb to the sins of greed and a desire for fame. I'm certainly not buying what this snake oil salesman is selling!

They're not Christians they are crazies....

As a Christian, I detest these hate-filled charlatans spreading ill will and bigotry throughout their congregations. This type of despicable zealotry, cloaked in the Christian religion, IS crazy indeed. Thanks for your response, Giantfan, and have a beautiful day!

You have a nice day too Tigger. I agree with what you said.

Ah Christians such loving and understanding people.

As a good Catholic, I should be offended by your post, but I think it's FUNNY AS HELL! Hey, IMO, God has a sense of humor, too! Thanks for your response, swami!

[P.S. Thankfully, most Christians are NOT like Pastor Charles Worley and his judgmental flock.]

I don't know anymore. One side, Christians are saying horrendous stuff about how gay people are sinners, are somehow "less" than other people, and/or deserve hell; and then you have the other side protesting, saying that "Real Christians don't believe that!" or some variation thereof. Yet, it gets tiring after awhile, because if those people are the new face of Christianity, it no longer matters if all Christians believe that or not-- it's still a facet of Christianity, and it is vile and repulsive.

I am ashamed to live in this state. I live in one of the few sane and tolerant areas. I don't care if you're Christian or not, but to openly declare that certain people deserve to die or be put into concentration camps for being queer makes me wonder just how insane these people are. It makes me sick to my stomach. Are they trying to make another holocaust? Another face of the fear and anger that causes countless asian-americans and asian immigrants to be put into concentration camps? Why does it feel like we haven't advanced in the least?

You bring up an excellent point. Millions and millions of people have been killed in the name of religion -- the Holocaust, the Crusades, the Russian pogroms, etc. I have no respect for any religious zealot, such as Pastor Charles Worley, whose preaching perpetuates hatred, bigotry and condemnation of others. Even those Christians who believe that LGBT's are committing a sin with their sexual orientation and lifestyle don't pray for them to die and go to hell. Worley and his vile minions need to remember that the teachings of Christ were that God is Love, and that everyone is guaranteed the gift of Salvation if they accept Jesus into their hearts as their Lord and Savior and repent of their sins. Every time I think mankind is evolving into higher beings, someone like Worley and his self-righteous congregation come along and blow it all to hell. Why can't we all just get along? Thanks for your very excellent comments, Yuki, and have a beautiful day.

Isn't that technically what Hitler did with the Jews during World War II, thus creating The Holocaust- a genocide of approx. six million Eastern European Jews?

You are correct that the Holocaust, and also the Crusades and the Russian pogroms, were carried out by people who thought they were doing what was "right" in a "Christian" sense. The Dutch Boers who settled South Africa and began the long, vile practice of apartheid considered the African natives the Sons of Ham from the Bible, and thus relegated them to Canaan's curse as "servant of servants...to his brothers." More people in history have been killed in the name of religion than for any other cause. The world doesn't need "Christians" like Pastor Charles Worley and his congregation, people who perpetuate hatred, bigotry and condemnation of others, instead of following Jesus' teachings that God is Love. Thanks for your comments, Jalysa, and have a wonderful day!

No problem. Thanks for the extra information and likewise. :)

I don't think one group of people has the right to judge another, religious or otherwise. People need to quit living in the 12th century where they spot the devil in everything. How about we treat everyone with respect and quit acting like God! Just a suggestion. =)

Although I'm a Catholic, I agree with your opinion that all people deserve to be treated with respect. A person doesn't have to be a Christian, or of any other religion for that matter, to have morals and ethics and a sense of what's right. For instance, I have a good friend who is an agnostic, and he's more spiritual, tolerant and forgiving than all of Charles Worley's vile congregation combined. A true Christian does not wish others to die or condemn them to Hell. Evidently, Worley gives short shrift to the Bible passage that says, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Honestly, this charlatan is a disgusting example of religious zealotry gone wrong. Thanks for your comments, Lily!

I have to admit, that was one of the nicest reponses I've received. Thanks for that. =)

No problem. I try to be polite, even when I don't see eye-to-eye with another person here on SodaHead. To criticize someone who isn't of any religious faith is just as bad as non-believers who rag on Christians. In fact, it's rather UN-Christian of people to spread intolerance and hatred toward others. All people deserve to be treated with respect, whether they're atheists or LGBTs or other such thing.

Not sure what LGBT means but again, you have me agree'n! =)

LGBT stands for "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender."

Oh okay, thanks. =)
