Ron DeSantis’ pastor says gay people should be “put to death”

[2aguy]

So, you thought that Obama should not properly be painted with Wright’s brush.

But, now, you’re fine with trying to paint DeSantis with the brush you use against his pastor?

Consistency isn’t one of your virtues.

It isn't his pastor......Desantis is a catholic, the guy at the innauguration is a baptist.....

 

[Lesh]

This pastor is obviously reprehensible.

Not sure of his connection to DeSantis but his embrace of this creep is concerning

What embrace? You dumb ass........he was hired by the Florida state to give the invocation at the inauguration......they likely have a rotation list that Desantis has no control over......you idiot.

 

[maybelooking]

Nah, we just don't like fascist, book banning assholes like DeSantis, the type of politician that goose stepping stormtroopers flock to.

so a book about stoning gays in an elementary school library would be fine with you! good to know.

'libertarians' aren't Jeffersonian fans, they're pets of the Koch brothers, whose family fortune was made in the Soviet Union beefing up Stalin's oil in and industry and currently operate a massive pipeline ownership company that relies of abusing government 'imminent domain' laws to steal private property from land owners who get in their way; they don't like paying free market prices for real estate. All you little Burb Brat sloganeers aren't 'liberarians', you just hide your sociopathic narcissism behind the label, hoping it will give you some cover and credibility for your infantile 'politics'. 'Libertarians' are also fine with faggots grooming kids.

You have delusional hatred for libertarians and have no actual understanding of our views, just what socialists told you to think about us. Got it, racist

lol more rubbish. 'Libertarians' have been around a long time. They're mostly right wingers who want to smoke dope and advocate mindless self- indulgence, is all, hippies with stock portfolios. Very few of them are actually 'Libertarian' in the Jeffersonian tradition. they don't even know what that is, in fact.

Thanks. I didn’t even realize that fact.

 

[2aguy]

Thanks. I didn’t even realize that fact.

Yeah....the left wing, democrat party journalist didn't want people to understand this...they simply wanted to smear desantis....

Got it, thank you for that insightful analysis. BTW, I'm not a Libertarian

I don’t doubt that. But to be clear, I do wish that DeSantis would distance himself from the hateful rhetoric of that pastor.

We don’t have to agree with the behavior of gay people; but we don’t have to stigmatize them or put them to death, either. That pastor, in my book, is way the duck off base. This is why I agree with Senator Cruz when he condemned the new Ugandan anti-gay “laws.” I wish DeSantis would be equally clear in that regard.

Yep, Richard-H said "Don't Say Gay" is racist, but he won't explain what it is or how it's anti-gay to not teach gay politics and show gay videos to small children

Good Lord, can you believe it? I can and I can't. So there is that. Anyone remember Jeremiah Wright?
Well you should. Obama went to Wright's church and Wright made some controversial sermons.
And guess what? The Republican's seized that opportunity to make Obama look bad.
Why in the world would anyone vote for this? If I vote (and I am not going to) I would probably chose a candidate the LIED and said they went to Church when I know they didn't.
I found this part very interesting
Conservative Christians tend to cite Leviticus 20:13 as proof that God shares their hatred of LGBTQ+ people.
I believe this. I don't believe in it, I believe the statement.

Now that you know DeSantis attends church and listens to this, has your opinion of him changed?

And YES, this is posted in the correct forum Politics "Discuss government policies and candidates..." We are discussing Ron DeSantis and the fact he listens to sermons calling for death to GAY's



The pastor who delivered the invocation at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R) second inauguration has said that gay people should be put to death.

Tom Ascol — senior pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida — made his comment on Twitter while criticizing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). On Monday, Cruz issued a tweet criticizing Uganda’s new “Anti-Homosexuality Act,” a law that punishes “aggravated homosexuality” with death.

Cruz’s tweet called the law “horrific & wrong,” adding, “Any law criminalizing homosexuality or imposing the death penalty for ‘aggravated homosexuality’ is grotesque & an abomination. ALL civilized nations should join together in condemning this human rights abuse.”

Ascol disagreed, writing on Tuesday, “Tell it to God, Ted.”

The pastor then cited Leviticus 20:13, the Old Testament verse that says, “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.”

Ascol asked, “Was this law God gave to His old covenant people ‘horrific and wrong’?”

Leviticus’ ancient Biblical laws also require the death penalty for anyone who practices fortune telling, curses their mother or father, accidentally kills someone else’s animal, or commits blasphemy. Other Old Testament laws demand death for anyone who charges interest on loans or works on Saturdays.

Most contemporary Christians don’t follow these ancient Biblical laws and say that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ made them obsolete. However, conservative Christians tend to cite Leviticus 20:13 as proof that God shares their hatred of LGBTQ+ people.

Truth of this politicized religious bullshit is that "god hates gays," = "biology hates gays." There is no god, though there is the intelligence of biology: no DNA escapes the irreversible biological fate of the dice-throw at birth. duh

 

[badger2]

So Ugandan IQs can at least see for themselves the sequelae of the LGB alphabet and its delirium if allowed to expand and progress its name game into three real-time dimensions. duh

How do you know there is no god?

I'm always curious about the confidence of atheists.......

Jesus Christ (Remember Him?)

upheld at least a big part of the Old Testament (improving on others)

So here is part of the Old T that Jesus apparently did NOT "revise"

From the site

“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death... ”

Biden allows illegal aliens from uganda to enter the USA and potentially murder American citizens

 

[bodecea]

Oh BS.

Go ankle snap someone else ya tired old fraud

Still trying to order people around, I see.

Any immigrant could turn out to be a murderer down the road.

But the odds get much worse for our innocent people when we refuse to protect our own borders from wave after wave of illegal immigrants.

 

[bodecea]

You’re the delusional moron who said that being called names was “just like” being sentenced to prison for life.

And you call other people stupid?

You really don’t have to look hard to find the Christian fascists who wish to eradicate the people they find undesirable.

They are envious of the muslim fundies who throw gays off of buildings.

Libs are bashing Uganda for officially murdering homosexuals

That makes ugandans very dangerous people to allow into this country
