Evangelical church urges Trump admin to 'execute' LGBTQ Americans

Most people that oppose Trump also follow an ethical code that abohrs violence.

The talking points among people I know here include constantly referencing a study that indicates non-violent opposition is more frequently effective than violent opposition. I suspect that study is a little simplistic, but may have its point.

The problem is, a lot of liberals think that showing up for a 14 June style protest (with permits and police escort) is the full extent of 'non-violent' resistance.

It's taking them a minute to catch on that more, much more, will be needed.

The next step has to be introducing other non-violent tactics - ones that are far less pleasant than bringing a sign to a giant street party on a Saturday afternoon.

Tactics that might involve being arrested (despite not attacking anyone), losing income or your job (work strike), or ending up in a detention facility.

No one wants to do this. This is like getting a cancer diagnosis and not wanting chemo, not wanting to count your expected remaining life in months instead of decades.

Most people will do what most people do - 'see how it goes'. Until they can't anymore.

This is the denial and bargaining stage of a fascism diagnosis.

If there is some god... I hope hell is a place reserved for this people...

before their own painfull death... I hope they suffer, they have to watch all their beloved people, siblings and offspring die horrible painfull deaths and everyone they hold dear suffer, suffer and suffer... until they die as the oldest humans in ages, bound in a catatonic state for decades and I will gleefully keep the machines running that keep them alive!

And people wonder why I despise all religious institutions, no matter the flavour of their business selling people an empty shell they named hope.

Stopping these terrorists with force is a moral necessity if no other way exists.

That's what he means. He wants them pure for when he SA's them.

To evangelicals statistics are devil magic

Feed the poor, house the homeless, care for the sick, welcome immigrants, have compassion for prisoners, do not judge, etc etc

It's a church.

Is there anything that shows that connection and I could be giving my friends who still eat there?

I'm so proud that I've never spent a dollar there.

Perhaps no one should be executed.

Religion is an endemic mental illness. I'd say people should keep it to themselves and once they leave their house, I don't want to hear anything about it, or it's off to the mental institution.

Be careful, you'll upset the "real christians", who will tell you about how this person is a "fake", because Jesus said "love thy neighbor", and all the other things in the Bible "don't count" for some reason.

Don’t say “religion” when you only mean Christianity.

As a trans army veteran, this shit is so infuriating and exhausting to me it’s almost fucking surreal.

We have pedophilic draft dodgers running our government into the ground, anti-social robber barons throwing gasoline on the cultural firestorm with social media algorithms, ICE agents disappearing asylum seekers to be tortured in foreign lands without due process, speakers and representatives bringing nothing but bullshit excuses or outright lies to the table, which of course has our country’s reputation stewing in a trailer park septic tank…

… Meanwhile these insane religious sects are ignoring all of that and hyperfixating on queer people accusing US of pedophilia and calling for our deaths… while they themselves are participating in pedophile rings that often slaughter children once they age out of being attractive to kiddy fuckers.

What kind of “society” are we trying to make here exactly?

At some point the people with empathy have to do violence on the people without.

We outnumber them. Don’t base it on online. Base it on in person. Online is OVERRUN with bots and trolls. It’s not fucking real. It’s a big fucking lie to scare you into giving up.

Don’t.

Right wing religious conservatives being pedophiles?

How fathomably believable.

Because it's about justifying their bigotry, not following the bible.

It also says when a woman has her period she should take 2 pigeons and burn them as sacrifice. Which I do every month OBVIOUSLY

So according to the Bible, Trump should be stoned (as well as those with whom he committed adultery).

Don't be gay? I bet you became straight as soon as you heard that magical sentence

Yes

I mean, soon it's gonna be us or them.

How about we execute evangelicals?

We don't.

​

Would that help?

No, it wouldn't.

Simplify it. She's just a dumb racist bitch

lesbian

she wants to bang the black guy

Huh

So, much of what you stated makes my head spin, maybe it’s due to the fact that it’s early but I highly doubt that’s the reason.

I was so confused until i read that she's racist.

The old testament says a lot of things (in ARAMAIC) that have been translated by fallible human hands a hundred times with implicit bias. It's a game of telephone that's been going for thousands of years. It didn't mean "gay people are bad".

I respectfully disagree, Jesus doesn't even mention homosexuality.

Paul mentions homosexuality, but Paul is very notably not Jesus, he's basically just a guy who rolls up after Jesus is dead and says he's an apostle now. There's also significant cultural context there, and his objection to sex applied to all recreational sex regardless of orientation.

The Old Testament also mentions homosexuality. I am not sufficiently educated on Hebrew culture to comment on those passages, but I do know that Christians are very explicitly not bound by Old Testament law.

There's several more actually, but they don't follow those either.

17You must not make yourselves molten gods.

18 “You must keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you; do this at the appointed time of the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.

19 “Every firstborn of the womb belongs to me, even every firstborn of your cattle that is a male, whether ox or sheep. 20 Now the firstling of a donkey you may redeem with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, then break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons.

“No one will appear before me empty-handed.

21 “On six days you may labor, but on the seventh day you must rest; even at the time of plowing and of harvest[at] you are to rest.

22 “You must observe the Feast of Weeks—the firstfruits of the harvest of wheat—and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year. 23 At three times in the year all your men must appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.

25 “You must not offer the blood of my sacrifice with yeast; the sacrifice from the Feast of Passover must not remain until the following morning.

26 “The first of the firstfruits of your soil you must bring to the house of the Lord your God.

“You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

I mean, having relations with the same gender is considered adultery because according to their faith, you cannot marry the same sex. That would be regardless of the law of the land.

That said, I do not for one second, believe anyone who claims to have followed all 10 commandments from the moment they reached the age of accountability (another Christian belief regarding at which point a person is responsible for their sins.)

Then they’d just as quickly lose that status… rules for the but not for me.

*Straight Religious Men

That they go to North Korea and denounce the dictator, go to Afghanistan and denounce Islam as a heresy, or to Juarez and denounce, by name, cartel leaders as parasites who hate Mexicans more than Trump supporters.

You would think a death cult would.

We should execute those who wield influence who make homophobic or transphobic comments in this way, by public hanging, immolation, or firing squad. I will literally vote for this.

As a hopelessly straight American, I second the motion.

As far as I have been able to find, the material published on there being a higher per capita amount of preds in the LGBTQ community have been discredited, and most of these claims come from a small number of papers, largely published years ago, by conservative groups pay

I may be a naive optimist but I do not see it every getting to this point. Even after everything that's been happening, it feels too extreme

Unfortunately, say goodbye to removal of tax exempt status: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/us/politics/irs-churches-politics-endorse-candidates.html

Tf? No it hasn't. People have been persecuting gays for hundreds of years, and those churches are still going strong. Look at... well, every single church.

Well Hitler also sent lgbt folk to the slaughterhouse

He in fact does not actually worship God, he worships the Devil. And he will burn in Hell for eternity for it.

Oh please. The bible is explicitly anti-LGBT, and this guy is one of the few people actually following what your disgusting book says.

No you can't. Rules only apply to those with money and/or a willingness to commit violence based on Trump's orders.

Bullshit.

This is a severely christian position and has been for centuries.

You cannot and will not "not true scotsman" christianity away from this.

Being some flavor of evangelical who raves about "groomers" seems to be the best predictor of being an actual groomer I've seen so far.

I'm sure Epstein provided this guy with little girls. When that comes out, who knows.

reminder: these fascists assholes are not human. they give up all humanity when they actively choose to become or remain within this trump nazi cult. so when we say “nazis are not human” we are not dehumanizing them; they did it to themselves.

these fuckwits need prison. all of them.

Never mind that the story they are referencing is about the importance of hospitality. It would be more accurate to say that the Bible is saying to kill ICE agents.

From the Passion narrative according to John (John 18)

29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charges are you bringing against this man?”

30 “If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”

31 Pilate said, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.”

“But we have no right to execute anyone,” they objected.

Literally the exact same method that the Jewish religious authorities used to try to convince the Romans to execute Jesus because they weren't allowed to execute people.

(Note: this is not meant to be antisemitic, just contextual, though the Jews' role in the execution of Jesus has been and is still used to justify antisemitism)

I mean, what's the big deal? The church (theirs of course) and the State were never supposed to actually be separate in a secular nation with something as clear as the First Amendment. The Founders with the likes of Jefferson who had a tenuous relationship with xtianity so very obvs meant this place to be JESUSLAND.

Also, it'd be the STATE doing the murdering, you guys! It'd be a righteous and lawful murdering, because Jebus.

Let he without sin ...,

Well yeah, Jesus had first hand experience in the state enforcing the death penalty.
