Right-Wing Pastor Would Like to Know if Ariana Grande’s Support for LGBT People Is More Dangerous Than Terrorism
‘Her Brother Is a Sodomite. She Threw Christianity Out, Lock, Stock and Barrel’ Extremist Pastor Claims
Speaking to his Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church congregation in Pasadena, Maryland, pastor David Whitney wondered in his sermon this past Sunday if singer Ariana Grande was more dangerous than the suicide-bomber who killed twenty-two persons, including innocent children, at her concert in Manchester, England last month. According to the officials from Britain’s Home Office, in addition to those killed, another 116, many of whom were teenagers, received serious injuries during the terrorist incident.Â
Whitney alleged Grande’s support for her gay brother and LGBTQ equality rights embraces sodomy.
“I did a little research about what she was about, and everything she stands for is quite eye opening. She is an open advocate for sodomy. She was raised in a Christian household, but now clearly rejects everything that Christianity stands for,” Whitney told his followers, according to Right Wing Watch. “She states that she did so for a particular reason, because her brother is a sodomite. She threw Christianity out, lock, stock and barrel.”
Whitney, who has ties to groups listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center on its Hate Group watch list, the white supremacist and nationalist Neo-Confederate group League of the South along with the Southern National Congress, where he serves as the group’s chaplain, also took aim at the singer’s religious beliefs. Grande practices Kabbalah, a belief system that originated in Judaism.Â
“She has embraced not only sodomy, but a satanic cult religion … it’s called Kabbalah, it is a Jewish cult belief system that is the opposite, in a sense, of our Christian faith.â€
He then compared her to a Grimm Brother’s fairy tale character.
“It appears this Ariana is like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, leading a whole generation of young people, and indeed some very young people, to a very dangerous place.” He called Grande “a dangerous woman, leading them down this dangerous road,” and a “dangerous woman” who “is promoting every form of immorality and indeed she is promoting satanism by her music and by her lyrics and by her gyrations.”
Ironically, Grande’s new album is titled, “Dangerous Woman.”
“So while we can measure accurately the damage that the suicide bomber accomplished – we can count the body bags, we can read the list of those in the hospital recovering from their injuries that the suicide bomber caused – it is far more difficult to measure the damage done by this dangerous woman,” Whitney claimed. “Exactly how many souls has she led down the path of destruction?”
Grande’s concert helped raise more than $3 million for the Manchester victims and their families.Â
