Yeah that small fringe group that potrays absolutely no Christian values is your anecdotal evidence that the 22 year old shooter is a card carrying member of Focus on the Family.

Maybe the shooter is an absolute nutcake that should have had mental health treatment and no access to weapons. I would start with that angle instead of blindly lashing out.

Actually I would start with it’s a tragedy that could have been preventable and let’s mourn the senseless deaths and injuries while we gather evidence on why it happened.

Yep.  It ain't queer if it's tied next to the pier.  It also aint gay if it's underway.  Navy has both sides protected.

Regardless of whether it was patrons or security, yeah, that is some bigtime courage to "attack the ambush."  All military jokes aside, it is a fundamental lesson in infantry tactics.

That is everything now.  The bad guys tactics have changed.  The response has to change.  It used to be taught don't fight back.  After Columbine, it was learned it's not a hostage situation anymore.  After 9/11 we've learned it's not a hijacking and demands.  Run, hide, fight is taught.  And yeah.  You go and you fucking kill these guys. 

 

As far as the religious angle.  Whatever angle.  It's be careful with the blame.  Pulse shooter was not the guy.  He was an Islamist.  Would you say the same thing?  Was this dude an Islamist?  I don't think so.  Was he some alt right crazy guy?  It seems to lean that way, but we don't know.  He isn't dead so we will find out.  What we do know is a night club got shot up and people died.

Texas pastor says gay people should be 'shot in the back of the head' in shocking sermon

Pastor Dillon Awes of Stedfast Baptist Church in Watauga said gay people "are dangerous to society” and “all homosexuals are pedophiles.”

June 9, 2022, 1:45 PM EDT
By Minyvonne Burke

A Texas baptist church — labeled an "anti-LGBT hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center — has caused outrage after a pastor said gay people should be "lined up against the wall and shot in the back of the head."

Pastor Dillon Awes of Stedfast Baptist Church in Watauga, a suburb of Fort Worth, made the comment and other controversial remarks during a Sunday morning sermon titled "Why We Won’t Shut Up."

"I’m angry this morning because our entire country is celebrating the worse sin in the Bible," Awes said during the sermon referring to Pride Month, which commemorates the LGBTQ+ community every June.

"You know a lot of pastors have this stupid idea where it’s just like, 'oh you know God loves everyone. And God hates the sin but loves the sinner.' But people have taken this to such an extreme where they’re saying celebrate the sin, not just tolerate it, celebrate it," he continued. "Let me show what the Bible says about these people."

Awes read several passages from the Bible and condemned homosexuality as a sin. At one point, he told the congregation that gay people "are dangerous to society" and said that "all homosexuals are pedophiles."

"I’m not saying that every single homosexual that’s alive right now has committed that act with a child already because it could be they haven’t had the opportunity yet and they will at some point later in their life," he said. "This is why we need to put these people to death through the proper channels of the government. ... These people are not normal. They’re not your average everyday sinners. ... They have no hope of salvation."

At certain times during the sermon people from the crowd could be heard cheering in agreement. Awes told the room that he thinks the "solution for the homosexual in 2022" is the death penalty.

Franklin Graham mainstream enough for you? 

Jeffress at least got smart enough to realize that he has enough parishioners that are queer he better back off.

It was always about the money anyway. No benes if you ain't married.

“It comes down to money, Todd, that’s what it’s about,” Jeffress told Todd Starnes on Fox News Radio. “And when states are being faced with the loss of business, they tend to fold real quickly. And I’ve said often that the greatest threat to freedom of religion in America is not ISIS, it’s the Chamber of Commerce. I mean, it’s the businesses that say to our representatives, ‘Oh, don’t pass laws like that, don’t pass these religious freedom laws because people will interpret that as anti-gay and we’ll lose business.’”

After the Supreme Court last summer ruled same-sex marriage legal, Jeffress said he believed “our culture will get increasingly darker,” adding that the decision was “ultimately irrelevant.”

“The Judge of all of the universe has already issued His decision: marriage should be reserved for one man and one woman. And there is no appealing that verdict,” he responded.

But wait there's more!

As if I have never been in a Baptist church...

 

Robert Jeffress, a Dallas pastor and Fox News contributor, has been described as one of Trump’s closest evangelical advisers and is part of the “Evangelicals for Trump” coalition — created to mobilize evangelical voters in the 2020 election.

Jeffress is also a vocal opponent of LGBTQ rights, having previously called gay people “filthy” and linked homosexuality with bestiality.

 

He also said that LGBTQ people have a “miserable lifestyle,” called homosexuality “perverse,” said same-sex marriage was “a sign of the coming apocalypse,” and described transgender people as “a rebellion against God’s plan.”

Actually I would start with it’s a tragedy that could have been preventable and let’s mourn the senseless deaths and injuries while we gather evidence on why it happened.

You aren’t getting sympathy from the queers defending focus on the family. They are a hate group. I’ve ignored them for years but in my impressionable years they advocated heavily for conversion therapy for gays and lesbians and claimed scripture supported being transgender was sinful.  Thought they do not advocate gun violence against us they do advocate intolerance. Gross, disgusting organization, worthy of severe criticism.
