Crazy Pastor Barton: Support Gay Rights and God Will Curse You!

Posted by Brent Peterson on Sep 8, 2011 in Separation of Church & Prostate | 10 comments

"You can tell if the person is homosexual because they have crazy eyes, like this!"

Apparently our previous plea to get Pastor David Barton off the airwaves fell on deaf ears. In case you don’t know the name, he’s the one who said we should scalp NY Republicans who supported gay marriage. Yeah, that one.

Clearly the scalping recommendation wasn’t the first instance of his craziness (imagine that). Can’t teach an old dog new tricks (but you can teach them to love you for you).

The newest slice of Heaven (see what I did there?) comes from Barton’s week-long stint on Kenneth Copeland’s “Believer’s Voice of Victory” (groan) TV program from last year. We’ve even got a clip for you!

The scripture says not only does God not approve homosexuality, it says He does not approve those who do approve of homosexuality. So I’ve got a ballot, I’ve got a vote, I vote for somebody that approves homosexuality, God doesn’t approve me if I approve those who approve homosexuality.

Does God approve me if I don’t approve you because you don’t approve people who approve homosexuality? What does it even mean that God doesn’t approve me? Am I trying to take out a loan or something? I’d imagine God would be a pretty tough cookie as a loan officer.

Anyway, aside from the bad repetition and the apparent lack of the word “of” in Pastor Barton’s speech, we’ve got the classic case of fear-mongering and selective quoting of Bible passages to get people to support his cause. Way to stick to your guns, big guy.

I’d also like to point out this quote from the above clip:

“See? The Bible is so good about helping us know how to vote.”

Just… let that sink in for a sec…

Moving on, there’s another episode where Barton talks about the same punishment for people who support abortion. We can only assume that there are also episodes condemning those who like foreign cars or computer games or the color yellow.

Fo’ real though: Pastor Barton, you’re crazy. I just find it very odd that you feel as though you’re guaranteed a spot in Heaven after you do nothing but spout hate and wish awful things on the LGBT community and its supporters. Shame on you.

Can anyone say “cray cray wanna be gay gay?” I give it…gosh, six months until someone comes forward saying they had an intimate gay relationship with him.
This is a great article because it hints on all the problems..the selective use of the bible. Does no one see the lovely “though shall not judge” line? Or does that just conveniently slip away? yeah, I know there’s some terminology against gays, but there’s stuff about 100000 wives or something. And beating chidlren? Look, idiot, get a life, get a grip.

But the title..so makes me think of the witch hunts!

Silly man. God approves of all of us.

Ok, maybe not a 9.0 on the Gaydar, like Marcus Bachmann, but definitely some serious high level gaydar activity with this guy. And if i don’t miss my hit; he’s bound to be a rather pervy one, to boot. The truth will out (and hopefully set her free). never seen him or heard him before but am about to play the vid clip to see what else he reveals.

As a gay christian, I really must say to pastor Barton, please stop taking the bible literally pastor asshat, you make all those who are of a particular religion look horrible! Maybe he forgot that there is a passage about judgmental hypocrites in Romans, or did that slip his mind! Here it is:
Romans 21Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.
also
5But because of your hard and impenitent heart you arestoring up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
Don’t mess with a gay christian!!!

This man is bat-dung insane. What he doesn’t take out of context or make up out of whole cloth (like “Christian” quotes from our Founding Fathers) he simply ignores, like the clear evidence that most of the Founders were Deists. It’s just awful that most right-wingers treat this guy like he means something, not like the old-gum-on-a-shoe that he is.

I’m not a Christian, but I read the bible to try and understand where all the hate comes from. I’d have remembered that line.
