Cruz, Huckabee, Jindal At Conference Pushing Death Penalty For Gays
[su_gootxttop]
Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee are two participants at a conference whose organizers believe gays deserve the death penalty.
Phillip Kayser is among the several speakers joining Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz and Bobby Jindal at the National Religious Liberties Conference in Iowa this weekend, and as we’ve reported, he, along with the conference’s chief organizer, Kevin Swanson, has called on the government to execute gay people…

In [a] pamphlet [being distributed], “Is The Death Penalty Just?,” Kayser unsurprisingly concludes that the death penalty is in fact just, and lists homosexuality among the offenses deserving of capital punishment. Ironically for a “religious liberties” summit, he also claims that the government should treat “breaking the Sabbath,” “blasphemy and cursing God publicly,” “publicly sacrificing to other gods” and “apostasy” as death penalty crimes as well.
He writes that government officials are “subject to Biblical statutes and judgments,” claiming that “Christians should advocate the full implementation of all God’s civil penalties in every age…. Every Old Testament statue continues on the books, and without those statutes, we could not have a consistent ethnical standard.” Even “pagan” nations are obliged to follow biblical law, he writes, as “God held gentile kings accountable to these civil laws.”
