Extremist pastor says gay people should be “exterminated for an AIDS-free Christmas”

A VIDEO of an extremist Christian pastor in the US calling for the mass extermination of gay people for an AIDS-free Christmas has gone viral online.

The sermon by Steve Anderson, of the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona, was delivered the day before World AIDS Day and posted on YouTube on Monday.

In his hour-long rant, Anderson claimed the Bible states that gay people should be killed, and that this should be done if people wanted an “AIDS-free world by Christmas”.

“Turn to Leviticus 20:13 because I actually discovered the cure for AIDS,” Anderson said, who goes on a foot-stomping tantrum in his sermon.

“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. And that, my friend, is the cure for AIDS.

“It was right there in the Bible all along — and they’re out spending billions of dollars in research and testing. It’s curable — right there. Because if you executed the homos like God recommends, you wouldn’t have all this AIDS running rampant.”

Anderson also reminded the 50 or so people who turned up to hear his “speech” that gays were banned from his church.

The pastor is also known to be fiercely anti-Semitic, misogynist, and vocally against US President Barack Obama.

  1. Blame Leviticus.
    He’s the fucked up idiot who started all this shit.
    I mean, who was he and why did anyone think that his opinion was so riteous that it be put into a book claiming God sanctioned it?
    Didn’t anyone back then think he was a total nutter ??

    Also maybe we should go to this pastors page and bombard it with images of men kissing.

  2. Leviticus 15:19-30: And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.

  3. What a fool. In Africa, HIV and related illness is not a homosexual health issue. It’s a human issue. This guy needs to pull his head out of his arse.

  4. We should ignore this type of idiots and never go to his church. Isolate their hatter and dismiss their existence. I pity if one of his sons comes gay, they would suffer a lot next to this bastard.

  5. How can someone be so obsessed with one verse in the bible , yet completely ignore everything positive that is supposed to be in ‘the Good book’?

  6. His claims can be debunks with science and facts. I think your article rather than slagging off another homophobe should enlighten the community on evidence and what the current stats are regarding HIV/AIDS and not just in the rainbow community… Just saying.

  7. These morons ways quote from the OLD Testament !!!! The ‘God’ in there says , sleep with your sister if your 9 year old wife is barren! That God was racist, genocidal , jealous, and caused wars and murders. Christ in the other hand rescued prostitutes from being stoned to death , hung out with outcasts, and questioned authority ! these fucking Fundamentalists should be locked up!!!!!!
