Gary Randall: Opposing death sentence for gays is "Perverted Tolerance"

[ccharles000]

Pastor Gary Randall is an anti-gay activist best known for his efforts to keep Washington's gay citizens despised, feared and second-class under the law. Today he can't put down his bloody anti-gay bludgeon long enough to effectively play the downtrodden Christian martyr.

In a blog post today, Randall attempts to make Christians (a massive numerical majority in the United States) appear to be the objects of intolerance because Miss USA contestant Lauren Ashley is being criticized for championing a biblical verse that says that gays deserve death. In going to bat for Miss Ashley, Randall defends what he calls the "biblical morality" she espouses. Let me remind you what she said last week:

"The Bible says that marriage is between a man and a woman. In Leviticus it says, 'If man lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them.'"

From Randall's point of view, if I disagree with someone who says that I should be executed because I'm gay, then somehow I'm being intolerant of that person's religion. The kind of tolerance Randall is looking for leads to violence. Should I condone my own execution? Randall apparently thinks so.

1. Aww poor Gary! He can't kill non-Christians and other people he hates!

[marmar]

2. If there is a hell, it's going to be overbooked with fundamentalist assholes.....

5. There isn't. They have to die with the knowledge of their stupidity.

Their last thoughts. They'll rot, just like everyone else, and will only be remembered for their idiocy.

3. Do you think Pastor Randall would get too upset if I said, "Blow me, Gary."?

4. Leviticus is NOT a Christian book!

It was NOT written by the hand of God! It was written and edited by a bunch of Jews who didn't agree with each other but were trying to keep a hand on some difficult POLITICAL situations. Christians should NEVER read the Old Testament. It confuses and warps them.

6. That's OK. This guy's not a Christian, either.

It all works out.

[Toasterlad]

13. No Book Was Written By the Hand of God.

All religion is superstitious nonsense.

[gratuitous]

14. Yeah, that whole "serve one another in love" nonsense

Rank superstition.

[Toasterlad]

15. You Don't Need Religion To Love Someone.

How sad for you that you believe otherwise.

7. The tail that wags the "dog-America" has

had a Salvador Dali psychotic snap. If it's any consolation, the rest of the world thinks it insane that we allow these deluded, violent, zealots to run the country to this extent.

[ismnotwasm]

8. I absolutely despise

Biblical cheery picking. If you're going to use the OT to justify ANYFUCKING thing, then use the whole motherfucker. Shit. Lord, these people are psychotic assholes. They actually deserve that hateful OT God.
