Christian pastor: Gays should be put in electrified concentration camps and starved

[Grimmlok]

North Carolina still refuses to join the 21st century—and reality—by outlawing gay marriage, and the most zealous citizens have taken homophobia to new heights. After Rev. Sean Harris suggested parents beat their kids into traditional gender roles, another “man of God” has said he thinks all gays and lesbians should be placed behind electric fences and left to die.

Here are Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church’s words of wisdom from last Sunday’s sermon:

“I figured a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers, but I couldn't get it passed through Congress…. Build a great, big, large fence - 50 or 100 mile long - put all the lesbians in there… Fly over and drop some food. Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals, and have that fence electrified 'til they can't get out... And you know what, in a few years, they'll die out. Do you know why? They can't reproduce.”

Some people treat progress like it’s the plague.

First off, he's so fucking stupid he doesn't know hetero parents make gaybies.

Secondly, concentration camps? Been there, done that, holocaust and whatnot. Try something more inventive.

God that is just unbelievable. He should be shot in the face.

[MrsDark]

More christian love, I see.

^^Oh yes love they neighbor unless thy neighbor is gay in that case you should kill him.

[MohandasKGanja]

This is kind of what was done with people who had Hansen's disease. Forcibly remove them from society and put them in isolated colonies with minimal provisions. And then basically wait for them to die off.

I heard some of his 'sermon' today on Howard Stern. Disturbing it too nice a word.

So what are the Vegas odds that some kind of sex scandal will befall this lovely Christian man? Over/under? I think the odds are pretty damn high.

[MrsDark]

A gay sex scandal.

I swear I think Jesus himself could come down and tell people like this that their views are wrong and hateful and they'd still cling to them.

what a vile POS.
the video's here if you can bear it:

Local Pastor Calls For Death of 'Queers & Homosexuals' - YouTube!

he also calls obama a baby-killer and homo-lover. but what is mind-boggling is that there are lots of people who actually agree with this bastard.

[CornFlakegrl]

I just came here from Facebook where one of my gay friends posted about this guy. He wrote a little mini rant about "fucking hateful bigots" and "sparkly magical jesus."

His COUSIN then posts something along the lines of "I expected more of you than namecalling" and some other condescending bullshit.

I NEVER engage in FB wars, they are a collossal waste of time normally, but goddamn I couldn't walk away from that. So I sounded off about how calling someone a bigot ain't a slur if it's true and who the fuck finds "namecalling" the most offensive thing about this story? And I might have said something about the utter uselessness of us heteros who tsk tsk in the face of evil but do nothing else EXCEPT condescend to the victims who are fucking family no less. I may have written it a little nastier, IDK, I was blinded by rage.

Then I left because I really wanted to write "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU USELESS AIRBAG," but thought better of it.

Fucking asspig.

I have to say though I love that Grimm put a thumbs down in case we thought he was for it.

Members stand behind pastor's anti-gay sermon

MAIDEN, N.C. -- Members of Providence Road Baptist Church are standing behind Pastor Charles Worley and the sermon he delivered earlier this month calling for the elimination of the gay population.

Geneva Sims said she’s been listening to Worley preach the Gospel since the 1970s. She wasn’t surprised by the 71-year-old pastor’s now infamous sermon. In fact, she supports him and his message.

“He had every right to say what he said about putting them in a pen and giving them food,” said Sims. “The Bible says they are worthy of death. He is preaching God’s word.”

Providence Road Baptist Church member Stacey Pritchard agreed.

“Sometimes you’ve got to be scared straight,” she explained. “He is trying to save those people from Hell.”

Pritchard said Worley’s message isn’t one of hate. Instead, she interpreted it as tough love guided by Good Book.

His words are viewed as hurtful and offensive to many people around the world. The May 13 sermon video, originally posted on the church’s website (it has since been taken down), shows Worthy speaking out against gay marriage and President Barack Obama’s support of it. Most of the backlash, though, is focused on a portion of the sermon where he details a way to “get rid of” the gay population.

“I figured a way out - a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers - but I couldn't get it past the Congress," he said. “Build a great big, large fence--50 or 100 miles long--put all the lesbians in there. Fly over and drop some food. Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can't get out. Feed them. And you know in a few years, they'll die out. You know why? They can't reproduce."
Worley went on to say homosexuality makes him “puking sick.” According to Brent Childers of the non-profit organization Faith in America, statements like that are detrimental to young people in America.
“That is what makes young LGBTs feel there is no hope,” said Childers, who also believes religious leaders like Worley hurt the public’s perception of the Christian faith.

“When they see this type of rhetoric coming from a so-called Christian pastor, they aren’t going to want anything to do with the church—now or in the future,” said Childers. “If you defend this pastor’s comments, you are mocking God’s love, God’s understanding and God’s knowledge.”

In a portion of the sermon that appeared on the church website but does not appear on YouTube version, Pastor Worley follows his rant against homosexuals by saying, "I'm against the sin, but I'm not against them! I want them to get saved, but I will not accept that way of life here, nor hereafter."

Newschannel 36 tried to reach Charles Worley by phone and email. Reporter Dianne Gallagher stopped by his home Tuesday to speak with him, but no one answered the door.

“He has nothing to hide,” said Pritchard. “He’s not afraid of anything he said. He’s a good man. It’s a good church and he speaks the truth. He doesn’t tiptoe around it.”

She told Newschannel 36 her pastor is being unfairly judged, in her opinion, and has even been threatened since the video went viral.

Several groups have come together to organize a peaceful protest of Pastor Worley’s sermon. That protest is scheduled for Sunday at 10 a.m.

Those interested in participating are asked to meet at Maiden Elementary School at 9 a.m. Shuttle service will be provided to the church. Pastor Worley has reportedly invited the protestors to attend his service. Local law enforcement will be on hand.
