It is shocking that these supposedly godly people are teaching hate, indoctrinating youth, and applauding the fruits of their labors. Did no one in that church think that this was not only wrong, not only evil, but un-godly?
RTV6 notes:
The video appears to show The Rev. Jeff Sangl, the pastor and founder of the church, according to the churchs website, laughing and congratulating the child after he finishes the song.
A man is heard shouting, Thats my boy! as members of the congregation give the boy a standing ovation.
Since the video was posted online, the churchs Facebook page has been flooded with complaints from users across the globe.
Ive never seen such an appalling, horrific example of small minding, hate ridden bigots, brainwashing children in all my life, wrote Ruth Mabey from England.
Way to teach hate, you repressed inbreds. Does Jesus hate? I didnt think so, wrote Gerry Syler from Texas.
Others appeared to side with the church, congratulating them for taking a stand.
Wow, yall is getting famous. Praise the Lord! I will share your page with all my fellow believers. God will show you the way, wrote Nathen Elbert Dovel from Virginia.
The church is the Apostolic Truth Tabernacle in Greensburg, Indiana.

(15 posts)I don't understand why this church is given a tax exemption when they are preaching hate and intolerance. Moreover, I don't understand why any church or religious organization is being given tax exemptions, when it seems as though the biggest issue facing this country is people/corporations/organizations are not paying their fair share.
I live in California and am an Atheist. I was raised up and forced to go to a Pentecostal Church for about 20 years of my life. I recently went to visit my folks in Orlando, Florida. Being that it was Mother's day, I attended church with my parents. Within 15 minutes I realized why I hate the church and organized religion. This particular Sunday, the church had a guest speaker who began his sermon with opening his message on the premise that we are going to be given the choice of electing a Muslim or a Mormon this November (not Jesus Christ himself). People within the audience thought it was funny and giggled. I found it insulting and left the service.
I bring this up because, the church pretty much consist of middle class families/retirees, young children and college students...none of these people benefit from a Republican in office. I understand they are stupid and are voting based on religious reasoning...for some reason they believe the Right is more religious or it something that Jesus would do. In any case, I just don't understand why this church along with other non profit organizations, that claim to be religious institutions are given tax exemptions. Let me explain why I don't understand...
This church has approximately 100 families. They are making probably close 100k a year each. They give at minimum 10% (tithe) or more a year to the church. That is a minimum of 10k a year from each family. That is a guarantee of 1 million a year that is tax exempt. This money is then sent abroad for missionary work. How is this not money laundering or how does this benefit our country. This is a million dollars that is not being locally or federally invested. It is sent abroad to enrich foreign countries - this to me is economic terrorism and not what Jesus would do!

It seems like so many churches are so anti-gay.....and really, is it that big of a deal that they have to preach about it constantly?

This is sad. What are these people doing to that child? It's so mean.
And Romney beat up on the gay kid in his school. What kind of nation are we?

(6,699 posts)So proud my little boy has been taught to hate before he can even think for himself. This is what we want to teach our little christian haters....how to become famous for parroting their parents ignorance and twisted sense of religion for a dollar.
What a sad, sad day for this little imp, his family and his congregation of haters.

(7,358 posts)This is not the only hate from the pulpit we've witnessed in the past couple of months. What about the preacher, Pastor Sean Harris addressing his congregation:
"Dads. the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up! Give them a good punch. OK. You're not going to act like
that. You were made by God to be a male and you're going to be a male."
And then there is Pastor Charles L. Morely who said: Build a great, big, large fence 150 or 100 mile long put all the lesbians in there, and followed up with:
''Do the same thing for the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they cant get out
and you know what, in a few years, theyll die out
do you know why? They cant reproduce!''
So this hate is coming directly from the churches and I don't think it is that peripheral as people think. I find this scary .. reminds me of the hate in pre war Germany in the 1930s .. and don't think it can't happen here. They're bullying, they're causing young vulnerable gay men so much shame that we're hearing about many suicides. This Rutgers University student who caused a young man to take his own life and showed very little remorse in court for his actions. I don't know about my fellow gay bothers and sisters ... but it is cause for alarm.
