The evening after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub, a California pastor took the opportunity to preach that "God said: When you find a sodomite, put them to death.'" A video of the sermon was uploaded by the church, then deleted "for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech." A copy of the video uploaded by someone else, describing the sermon as "despicable," was allowed to remain.

    He's a Baptist. I don't think Baptists give a crap about whether or not you eat bacon.

    Alcohol, on the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me if they were against (not in an "eternal damnation" sense but in a social sense).

    You think we're pedantic? Religion has more pointless flamewars than emacs vs. vi. [christianforums.com] So yes, people still argue over ancient superstitions and prohibitions from the literal "Word of God".

      Hey, I'm all about having a good argument about how Christianity judged by its own rules doesn't make sense half the time :)

      However I also like to set the record straight when somebody criticizes something about it where they have their facts wrong. Not that that shoe really fits you in this case.

    You know why Baptists avoid having sex standing up? They're afraid someone will think they're dancing.
