Doubling Down: Pastor Who Calls For Murder Of All Gays To End AIDS Publishes Strong Response

Pastor Steven Anderson, who made headlines yesterday after calling for the murder of all gays to end AIDS by Christmas, is doubling down and has posted another strong statement to Facebook.

Many people were shocked upon learning that an Arizona pastor this Sunday – just days after Thanksgiving – actually called for the murder of all gay people so that “we can have an AIDS-free world by Christmas.” 

Pastor Steven Anderson shortly after Raw Story broke the news on Wednesday zipped up his personal Facebook page, making almost all of it private. But he doubled down on his church’s Facebook page, posting a video from 2013 titled, “The Truth about the Sodomites.” In his Facebook posting, he wrote, “The truth is hate to those who hate the truth!,” as if he were taunting his critics.

The hour-long video from last year, which can be viewed in whole below, is exceptionally hate-filled and attacks gay people (whom he says he refuses to call “gay.”) He tells his congregation he calls gay people “sodomites,” and says the bible uses that word 54 times. 

Reading from the bible, he calls gay people’s love “vile,” “uncleanness,” and “against nature.” And he mocks gay people, asking his parishioners if the bible says gay people are “normal” or “born that way.”

“For those of you who are more of a scientific persuasion,” Pastor Anderson said, “I’ve got all the facts here.”

Among the “facts” Anderson laid out, his claim that “every single homo in the bible went both ways,” and gay people “are worthy of death.”

“Now the homo says, ‘god made me this way.’ And I have to say, he is partially correct. But he wasn’t born that way, he became that way,” Anderson claimed, adding, “if you’re a normal man, you find it disgusting to be intimate with another man.”

Throughout the sermon, Anderson, often reading from his bible, refers to gay people as “disgusting,” “vile,” “reprobate,” “haters of the lord,” “filled with murder,” and “basically rapists.” He also compares same-sex sex to an animal eating its own vomit, bestiality, and a human committing suicide.

Anderson further dehumanized gay people by stating that god gave them “a heart similar to a heart of a beast,” and said that like dogs, “sodomites” will “hump just about anything.”
