One of the new anti-gay hate groups on the SPLC's list: "Yes, we actually DO hate gays"
Tucked in a Tempe strip mall sits the Faithful Word Baptist Church .

The church is not new and the controversy surrounding the beliefs of its leader are not new. However, a report released Wednesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center gives the church a new label.

The SPLC is now listing the church as a hate group targeting homosexuals in a list of hate groups operating in Arizona.

"Do I hate? Absolutely," said Faithful Word Baptist Church Pastor Steven Anderson.

Anderson wasn't aware of the new article and label by the SPLC and wasn't surprised. When asked if he hates homosexuals, Anderson quickly said, "absolutley."

"Am I all about hate? No I'm sure I'm more about love than I am hate," Anderson said. "I do hate homosexuals and if hating homosexuals makes our church a hate group then that's what we are."

The church leader, with a Bible in his hand during the interview, said he preaches his hatred for homosexuals and wishes death upon them.

2. If the Bible were inspired by the Christian Satan, would it read any differently?

4. Ole Pastor Steve again... he deserves the label 'hater'
To wit:

"...The same God who instituted the death penalty for murders is the same god who instituted the death penalty for rapists and for homosexuals, sodomites and queers!

How are they multiplying? They're reproducing right? No, here's a biology lesson: they're not reproducers, they're recruiters! And you know who they're after? Your children. Remember you dropped off your kids last week? That's who they're after. You drop them off at some daycare, you drop them off at some school somewhere, you don't know where they're at. I'll tell you where they're at: they're being recruited by the sodomites. They're being molested by the sodomites. I can tell you so many stories about people that I know being molested and recruited by the sodomites.

I live in the Phoenix area and this nutbag is calling for the judicial murder of GLBT people. If ANY group deserves the label "hate group", this one is it.

Google this asshat's picture...it screams "CLOSET CASE"!!!!!

8. It Is Refreshing.........
To have Christian Terrorists admit exactly what, and who they are.......


Even haters like them can grasp, and process that a cigar is a cigar, and a duck is a duck.......


So why are so many other people unable to utter the "two descriptive words" that illuminate such groups in black and white fact?


Birds of a feather I'd say..... cut from the same cloth... only their ilk is of the stealth variety....... which is way more dangerous!


You Are Either With Us, Or Against Us......
