“The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.”
Ah yes, Jesus was famously pro-death penalty as long as only the state was enforcing it.
You’re thinking of republican jesus.

Well yeah, Jesus had first hand experience in the state enforcing the death penalty.
And he turned out just fine!!
When asked to respond to Falco’s inflammatory remarks, the church said in a statement that the preacher was “only calling for the death penalty and suicide for the actual sodomites (homosexuals). The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.”
This is the “reserved” and “compromise” position in their eyes.
Never mind that the story they are referencing is about the importance of hospitality. It would be more accurate to say that the Bible is saying to kill ICE agents.

From the Passion narrative according to John (John 18)
29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”
30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”
“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected.
Literally the exact same method that the Jewish religious authorities used to try to convince the Romans to execute Jesus because they weren’t allowed to execute people.
(Note: this is not meant to be antisemitic, just contextual, though the Jews’ role in the execution of Jesus has been and is still used to justify antisemitism)
reminder: these fascists assholes are not human. they give up all humanity when they actively choose to become or remain within this trump nazi cult. so when we say “nazis are not human” we are not dehumanizing them; they did it to themselves.
these fuckwits need prison. all of them.
Nah, they need to be executed. If it’s legal for them to say gay people should be executed, it’s legal for me to say they should be executed.
I don’t think these are technically nazis. Nazis have a political purpose for which they do the things they do. These folks don’t have a purpose or an agenda besides murderlust en powerhunger. Nazis are evil as a byproduct, a side hustle. These folks are evil as their core business.
That is being a Nazi. Finding an “other” to blame all your problems on is central to the idea. If they let up on this for a moment, they’d have to solve actual problems, and they don’t know how to do that.
They are human. Hatred and cruelty is part of who we as humans are. The better among us are supposed to keep the monsters in check. We failed.
History is a constant and never ending litany of such “failure”, and we NEVER learn. What’s your backup plan?
You’re right, it’s inevitable. The fascist US will be looked back on with disdain as fascist Germany is, there will be reforms to be better, then in a few generations someone will do this shit all over again (assuming we don’t kill ourselves off with nuclear war and/or climate change). All you can do is be the best person you can for those around you.
i mean sure in meatspace terms they are physically human but they have done irreparable harm to their internal humanity by supporting this ideology. It’s not just that I “disagree” with fascism (and capitalism and nazism and zionism, among other things) but it’s that there are provable choices these cohorts have made that have done far more harm, even to themselves, than ever imaginable.
There’s only 10 fucking commandments! How hard is it to remember 10 short items for a faith you claim to believe in.

In a sermon titled, “Pray the Gay Away,” Stephen Falco, an evangelical preacher with the Sure Foundation Baptist Church, yelled from the pulpit, “They’re all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, ‘No, you’re not going to have our children!’”
What a disgusting message. I wouldn’t be sad if this sack of shit got hit by a bus.
Somebody should check this dude’s basement.
And hard drives
Projecting again I see.

I hope everyone here is aware that fascism has now taken hold in America and never before in the history of mankind has fascism stepped down when politely asked to do so.
It has always required force.
never before in the history of mankind has fascism stepped down when politely asked to do so
Except after the death of Franco. And after a peaceful people’s movements removed the Portuguese junta.
Historically, the demographic most likely to sexually assault children is straight men.
Does that mean we should kill all the straight men?

Perhaps no one should be executed.

Executions are what fascists do.

IIUC, execution is a punishment.
While you might use force—even deadly force—to deal with certain lethal threats, you don’t punish somebody for what you think they might do.
FWIW and on a related topic: wp:Killing baby Hitler.

“Sorry dude, I ain’t gonna die just to please you. You talk like a sicko. What’s the matter? You didn’t get breastfed? Did a Jewish black guy steal your girlfriend? Were you bullied by pretentious left-of-center liberals? Is your father a psycho who beat your mother to a pulp in front of you when you were a child, like Klara Hitler might have been? Is your mother still alive? Did your comrades and you drive your half-neice, the one a little over half your age, and the one you might have been having sex with to suicide or perhaps kill her? Maybe you should get some counseling before you do anything stupid, or even more stupid.”
They’re all a bunch of f-----, that want to walk around, come on our streets, and demand our children. And we should look them in the eye and say, ‘No, you’re not going to have our children!’
Statistically, a child is at greater risk of being sexually abused by a preacher than a member of the LGBT community
To evangelicals statistics are devil magic
TBF, I’m an engineer and I consider statistics dark magic… Only less so than its satanic cousin: probability.
Do not speak of the chaos
As an LGBTQ+ American, I urge such evangelicals to execute themselves.

If you want to censor them, you don’t have to murder them.
Maybe put them in prison. They can only read the Bible or pro-LGBT literature, eat only vegan food, go nude or wear sackcloth, and given a choice between breaking rocks or participating in group therapy conducted by psychologists and psychiatrists who are openly gay, TG, and/or Otherkin.

If you have the power to execute them, you might have the power to imprison them.

Yes, but he doesn’t really believe in the sanctity of human life.
It almost feels like they’re going out of their way to bring the LGBTQ community to the point of kill or be killed.
Were there. You may not realize it yet, but they have been there for years.
