My thoughts on Steve Anderson, the pastor that wants Obama to die.
Click here for an additional video (Obama-hating PASTOR; death threats against Obama). Even the conservative Fox News reports on this!
(Notice: It gets a bit rant-y towards the end, but I honestly cannot change my feelings about this, and that’s what I spilled out onto this page—my feelings.)
A Tempe, Arizona pastor, Steve Anderson, wants President Obama to die. Yes, a man who is vehemently opposed to the killing of unborn babies wants a grown man to die “of natural causes.” [yeah, right] Anderson hates him, not his policies, him. A supposed “man of God” wants a man to die—and is preaching his hate at a church. What the?
I don’t care if you don’t agree with Obama’s policies, that’s your view (and I respect that, even if I don’t necessarily agree with it), but you do not wish for anyone to die of brain cancer like Senator Ted Kennedy, to “melt like a snail”; he wants Obama’s children to grow up fatherless and Michelle to be a widow. How could any “righteous” person wish this? Much less a man of the cloth. It’s common human decency. He makes anyone who doesn’t support Obama’s views and/or those who have a religion look despicable. Now the psychotic wackos will feel justified in their retaliatory actions, whatever they might be.
If someone said they wanted this disgusting pastor to drown in holy water and the blood of all the women whose doctors refused the abortion they needed to survive on their moral grounds despite the wishes of the mother, people would be definitely be outraged; his gun-toting congregation would, without a doubt, be up in arms. What makes this guy any different from the next idiot who threatens anyone? Oh, “but he’s a pastor?” I don’t know about you, but I think a pastor/priest/religious leader should be a positive role model—one who aspires to be more like God in an effort to improve themselves and the world, not one who encourages and incites bigotry and rage.
My God is a god of peace, acceptance, and love; Anderson’s is apparently a god of hatred and ignorance.
I agree with most, if not all, of President Obama’s policies (except that I believe the entire country should legalize gay marriage). Should fear for my life, too?
