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.

- Sacramento Bee
- CBS (about sermon)

That's a good link, thanks.
I've come across that phrase before, and it struck me that it occurs to George W Bush. He kind of faded away from public view after leaving the Whitehouse, so I googled him up a while back to see what he was up to. bear in mind that when he was in power he started illegal wars, and was culpable for torture and kidnapping and thousands upon thousands of pointless deaths. He funnelled vast amounts of taxpayer money into the back pockets of crooks, villains and mercenaries. He must have had some awesome masterplan that he was working towards. Maybe he needed all that money to build a secret hideout in an extinct volcano, or maybe he has an exorbitant hookers+blow lifestyle to fund, or perhaps he believes spilling the blood of innocents will grant him eternal life via elaborate satanic rituals...
No.
You want to know how this dickhead is spending his retirement? He plays bridge and paints pictures of his dogs.
For fuck's sake, if that's your ultimate ambition, you don't need to murder a hundred thousand Iraqis to realise it. You can spend 40 years as a shoe salesman and then retire comfortably with cards and oil paints. What was all that death and destruction ultimately for, if that's all you're going to do with the fruits of your wickedness? What a prick.
