NC Pastor Wants To Build Electrified Fence To Contain, Starve And Ultimately Kill Gays

In a sermon blasting President Obama for his same-sex marriage support, Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, North Carolina, offered a novel — and horrific — solution to the so-called gay scourge: build an electric fence and let "lesbians, queers and homosexuals" starve to death.

"I figured a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers," he says in his sermon, delivered on May 13. "Build a great, big, large fence — 150 or 100 mile long — put all the lesbians in there... Do the same thing for the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can't get out… And you know what, in a few years, they'll die." Worley fails to understand that gay people are born, not made, and that there would just be more LGBT folk coming down the line.

He also that if he's asked who he'll vote for, he'll reply, "I'm not going to vote for a baby killer and a homosexual lover."

The not-so-holy man concludes, "God have mercy. It makes me pukin' sick to think about — I don't even whether or not to say this in the pulpit — can you imagine kissing some man?"

North Carolina Anti-Gay Pastor In 1978: Gays Used To Be ‘Hung, Bless God, From A White Oak Tree’

WORLEY: I’m God’s preacher. I just believe the book. Living in a day when, you know what, it saddens my heart to think that homosexuals can go around, bless God, and get the applause of a lot of people. Lesbians and all the rest of it? Bless God, forty years ago they’d have hung ‘em, bless God, from a white oak tree, wouldn’t they? Amen.

http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/05/22/488614/worley-oak-gays-tree/?mobile=nc


Here's the audio link from of his sermon then:


http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2012/05/pastor-worley-in-1978-forty-years-ago-they-wouldve-hung-homosexuals-bless-god-from-a-white-oak-tree.html

When he says this:

I’m God’s preacher. I just believe the book.

Gee, I wonder if the God of Love and Allofthat, really needs him talking up there like that. Belongs to God, does he?

And as for believing a book, WTH has he been reading? Where does it say to hang anyone from a tree? Stoning, yeah, but that was the OLD testament before these guys claimed their salvation was from Christ forgiving them!

Didn't they read about the Overseer who'd been forgiven by his King of his debts, but didn't forgive those debtors who worked under him? And the other servants were so shocked by his actions they reported it to the King, his employer, which in this case would be God, what he's up to in His Name? Did he read what happened to that guy?

Some of these wacko Bible thumping characters even make the claim that 'the temple prostitutes' were homosexuals. But where 'temple prostitutes' are listed in the Bible, it doesn't say to kill them!

These people are demented, sick and it's not just because of their hatred for LGBT. They hate a lot of people, like Mitt hating on men whose hair isn't right, the KKK hating on blacks, and... well, the list goes on.

I thought, until I saw Sarah Palin and her race-baiting crowd in 2008, which had the same atmosphere as a klan rally, taking me back to those nightmares, that these people had learned something in all the years that had passed since then.

I was thoroughly wrong, they just went underground and breed like Kochroaches. WTH is it going to take to clear up this mental infection?

6. Anti-gay sermon by Maiden pastor draws anger
Mon May 21, 2012, 10:50 PM
May 2012

... Catawba Valley Citizens Against Hate, the group that posted the clip to YouTube, plans to protest Worley and the church on Sunday.

“To hear this kind of hate being preached, this kind of intolerance, it hurt me, and I’m not even part of the LGBT community,” said Laura Tipton, who organized the protest.

Tipton, who lives in Hickory, says she called the church and spoke to Worley after learning about the video.

“He invited us to come down, and even let us know what time the sermon starts,” she said, adding that Worley might be “trying to prove a point that he has nothing to hide.” ...'

This would solve several problems, get him out of the church preaching hate and free the rest if us to tell the world what Jesus would do. It saddens me to hear this hate coming from someone who says he is a minister, more sharia law.

I'm a pro-gay-rights straight man, and I think about men boinking other men far less often that this "pastor" does.


I bet he secretly wants to put all the gays in a concentration camp so he can watch the giant gay sex orgy that his warped mind believes will happen. I betcha he secretly wants to be in the guard tower with the high-powered binoculars, all by his lonesome, too.



I've determined that if his man dies in a flaming car wreck tomorrow, I'm content with that.

He suggests that by separating the gay men from the lesbians, they'll be prevented from getting together and procreating more gays and lesbians.

However, the foundation of that argument is that homesexuality is a trait people have at birth, inherited from parents.

Whether he knows it or not, he's in direct opposition to the Fundy/Right Wing talking point that claims people just choose to be gay.

If people choose to be gay, then fencing in the current "choosers" would have not preclude straights outside the fence to then choose to be gay.

Most of the homophobic bigots are simply bigots, not closeted gays or lesbians. For example, I don't think we're going to be seeing Rick Santorum being caught in a homosexual relationship, and he thinks that two men is just like man on dog.

We remember specific examples like Larry Craig or Ted Haggard because they were so public.
