David Pakman: 'KS Pastor Curtis Knapp: Government Should Kill Gays, But They Won't'


Source:David Pakman- talking about Pastor Curtis Knapp.

"--Kansas Pastor Curtis Knapp says that the government should kill gays and lesbians, but "they won't," and then issues a bizarre non-apologetic explanation.

--On the Bonus Show: Parents who named kids after Hitler lose custody, CDC denies existence of zombies, "Truman Show" delusions, more.

I might know the answers to these questions already, but just in case I don't and for conversation sake, I'm going to ask them anyway. 

Why does the so-called Christian-Right (if you want to call these folks that) so insense about homosexuality and gays? Again, I think I know the answer to this, but let's layout some possibilities. 

There's a theory that the people who are the most homophobic, at least in America, are privately gay themselves. We saw that just back in 2006 with a lot of right-wing, fundamentalist pastors, who were secretly having affairs, not just with men, but teenage boys as well. We saw that back in 2002 with the scandal involving the Catholic Church as well. 

The so-called Christian-Right and I hate calling them that, because the most fundamentalist of this political cult movement, if anything seem anti-Christian, at least as far as how they treat their fellow human beings, especially people who dare to disagree with them on anything, but the so-called Christian-Right in America talks about the Ten Commandments all the time. Yet, they're guilty of at least 3 of them on a regular basis: 

thou shall not steal, thou shall not cheat, and with the militant wing of the Christian-Right, thou shall not kill. Some asshole is probably going to take this pastor (if you want to call Curtis Knapp that) and perhaps kill at least one gay person now, thinking: "Well, if the government is not going to kill gay people, I'll have to do it myself." 

The so-called Christian-Right also hates what Christians call the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have then do unto you. To put it simply; treat others the way you want to be treated yourself. They also hate what's generally seen as an American value, which is live and let live. You don't have to agree with the way someone else lives their own life. You just believe that they have the same right to life, as you do.  

Again, I think I know the answers to my own questions. So the so-called Christian-Right in America are the West's version of Islamists. We're talking about fundamentalist theocrats here, who believe in their religious and cultural values so strongly, that they believe those values should be the rule of law in America, not the Constitution. And if you violate any of them, you should pay the most serious of consequences.
