Pastor in Seneca, KS calls for killing of homosexuals

Despicable, inhumane, uncivilized.

Those are the words Tom Witt, executive director of the Kansas Equality Commission, used Thursday to describe this past Sunday’s sermon by a Seneca pastor calling for the killing of homosexuals.

Witt denounced the words of New Hope Baptist Church Pastor Curtis Knapp.

“Controversial is a mild way of putting it,” Witt said. “It is completely uncivilized to be calling for the execution of gay and lesbian Kansans. This is just part of the attitude that has been given free reign in this state by the far right.”

The firestorm stems from a 62-minute sermon by Knapp that has become national news.

In the sermon, Knapp cites Scripture to back up his point and said among other things: “They should be put to death. That’s what happened in Israel. That’s why homosexuality wouldn’t have grown in Israel. It tends to limit conversations. It tends to limit people coming out of the closet.

“So, you’re saying we should go out and start killing them? No. I’m saying the government should. They won’t, but they should.”

for a long time, but the south has been defining the game for almost two centuries and TX is always a playoff lock. But this year AZ really "left every bit of it on the field" this year and has almost redefined the game.

Depending on the draft of course, they're going to be tough to beat in the foreseeable future, so maybe it would be better for KS to hold a little back now so that they can mount a really strong finish next year.

If you can't see someone else as an equal or as perfect as you see yourself, you kill them. Who else would he come for? Kinda makes you wonder.

Those are the words I would used to describe Pastor Knapp and his ilk.

Kind of makes me wish all of the religious zealots would leave and go form their own country.
