Baptist Preacher to Congregation: 'When I go to Bed at Night I Pray for Barack Obama to Die and Go to Hell'

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

"God hates Barack Obama," the preacher told his congregation. "I hate Barack Obama."

In a rambling, hour-plus sermon that knocks "sodomites," disses Pentecostal Christians, and offers up a birther fantasy of Obama playing baseball in Kenya as a child with a stick and a mango, Anderson talked about how Obama would be in town the next day, and that some of his parishioners might be attending, although he couldn't personally make it due to previous plans.

For Anderson, Obama cannot be "saved," and because Obama backs access to abortion for women, he deserves to die.

"You're gonna tell me that I'm supposed to pray for the socialist devil," asked Anderson, rhetorically, referring to Obama, "[this] murderer, infanticide, who wants to see young children, and he wants to see babies killed through abortion and partial birth -- and all these other things -- you're gonna tell me I'm supposed to pray for god to give him a good lunch tomorrow, while he's in Phoenix, Arizona. Nope. I'm not going to pray for his good. I'm going to pray that he dies and goes to hell. When I go to bed tonight, that's how I'm going to pray."

You left out the beginning of the article... (what a nutbag)

Remember the crazy Tempe pastor who was Tasered by the U.S. Border Patrol back in April: Steven Anderson of the Faithful Word Baptist Church? The same fella that Christopher Broughton, the anti-Obama, anarchist AR-15-carrying activist, declared to be his pastor on conspiranut moonhowler Alex Jones' radio show?

Well, as has been reported on Crooks and Liars and MSNBC, the day before Broughton brought his loaded assault rifle to a demonstration outside where the President was speaking in downtown Phoenix, Pastor Anderson was preaching hate for President Obama, and praying for the Chief Executive's death.

And when I say, "preaching hate," I don't mean that as a figure of speech.

"God hates Barack Obama," the preacher told his congregation. "I hate Barack Obama."

Extreme fundamentalist and literalists have just stripped the 'Spirit' out of God and the bible...

It is literally baffling (pun intended)

disses Pentecostal Christians

I question if he is even a Christian.

The thing is you know, that if they were pushed hard enough that these people would resort to the gun and the suicide bomb to get their point across. The only difference between people like this and religious fundamentalist terrorists is the degree of desperation.

The commonality between them is the level of general hostility and a deficient level of formal education.

Here's from his church's website (which BTW is an independent church):

Faithful Word Baptist Church in Phoenix, Arizona

Pastor Anderson holds no college degree but has well over 100 chapters of the Bible committed to memory, including almost half of the New Testament.

For Baptists, I think alot of it comes from their zeal for evangelization (which I support), but their 'tact' leads to their evangelization 'feelingn' more like desperation...as evidenced by types in this article...
