Pastor(?) Scott Lively’s self-loathing-fueled rants against LGBT persons continues with him minimizing the role of hate in the murder of David Kato in Uganda and, more incredibly still, inflating the fears of God-fearing people with histrionic inducing rhetoric. To wit:
There is indeed evil in Uganda today, but it is not the reaction of Christian and Moslem citizens to the rape of their culture. It is the pink-gloved hand of western powers that are cutting the throat of Africa’s most God-fearing country, and one of the world‘s most promising Christian democracies.
…The murderers are the lavender Marxists, the now-global network of sexual revolutionaries bent on remaking the entire world in their own perverted image, whose juggernaut has toppled even once mighty Britain, crushing under their lavender boots after eight centuries the symbol of its Christian power: the Magna Charta, whose first principle had proclaimed “The English church must be free!” These revolutionists of Sodom, who march triumphantly through all the major cities of the western world to flaunt their defeat of moral law, and who hold both Hollywood and the heart of America’s president in their iron grip: These very same zealots have fixed their malevolent gaze on Christian Uganda.
Disgusting. He is a terrorist, plain and simple.
He is promoting terror and fear- and through it, violence in the name of the Gospel- and most of us know that the Jesus of scripture would never countenance this.
Hold your nose and read the rest here.
And then tell everyone you know about this ignorant bigot- who in my opinion is no different than any other radical fundamentalist advocating violence….
Oh, and Mr Lively- if you’re reading this, I have one thing to say to you: You have blood on your hands.
Update: Kathy Baldock’s response here.
I agree that Scott Lively has blood on his hands. Lots of it. Sadly, he has plenty of accomplices.
It’s tempting to pity the anti-gay zealots for their deluded thinking, and for what I suspect is a fair amount of inner turmoil, all of which is so unnecessary. To pity them, however, is to overlook the deadly effects of their propaganda. They have a ready audience that includes more than a few who are anxious to unleash their rage against a convenient target – and they know it.
Of course, people like Mr. Lively are quick to disown the violence they encourage, in a manner reminiscent of the anti-abortion crusaders who call abortion providers “baby killers,” and then, after a follower has murdered one, assure us they didn’t intend such an outcome.
I appreciate your efforts Greg, and look forward to reading more of your posts.
