‘Christian’ Pastor Prays For President’s Death, Calls Obama’s Mother A Whore
Pastor Stephen J. Anderson unleashes his sermons at the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Phoenix, and he’s on a mission to spread the good word by calling on his congregation to pray for President Barack Obama’s death.
[su_center_ad]WWJD?
If this prayer of goody goodness sounds familiar to you it’s because he’s done this before.
Liberals Unite reports:
In 2009 Pastor Anderson told his congregation that his disdain for the President wasn’t because of Obama’s policies, but that he actually hated Obama himself. He said that he prays every night that President Obama will die and go directly to hell.
Anderson said in 2009:
“And I’m going to tell you something. I hate Barack Obama. You say, well, you just mean you don’t like what he stands for. No, I hate the person. Oh, you mean you just don’t like his policies. No, I hate him.”
“And you’re going to tell me that I’m supposed to pray for the socialist devil murderer infanticide who wants to see young children and he wants to see babies killed through abortion, you’re gonna tell me I’m supposed to pray for God to give him a good lunch tomorrow when he’s in Phoenix, Arizona,” he said to the congregation. “Nope, I’m not gonna pray for his good. I’m going to pray that he dies and goes to Hell…When I go to bed tonight, Stephen J. Anderson is going to pray for Barack Obama to die and go to Hell.”
Fast forward to a sermon the birther pastor gave on November 2nd and you’ll see that nothing’s changed.
“Even according to the official version, little Barry boy is a bastard,” Anderson says. “Because he was conceived out of wedlock. His mother has an illegitimate marriage to a guy who’s already married to somebody else…and then he’s actually raised by a guy named Lolo Soetoro. That’s who is actually raising him, and then he’s going around as Barry Soetoro…”
“Here’s the alternate version, which I actually believe to be reality,” Anderson told his congregation. “I do not believe that Barack Obama Sr. is probably even the real father. Because a lot of times, women will do this, wicked women will do this: where they would basically , you know, oh I’m pregnant, quick, marry somebody, OK, so basically, pass it off as, OK? Especially back in those days.”
Watch:
The comments under the video must be from his super-intellectual congregation. One of the hundreds of commenters wrote, “i prefer to just call barack obama a faggot.” [sic]
And I prefer to call the Secret Service. Following that call should be one to the I.R.S. for politicizing from the pulpit.
This story was first reported by Valerie Beaumont at Addicting Info.

Further proof that prayer doesn’t work.

That’s not very christian of him. I can’t imagine Jesus actually praying for someone’s death. As a matter of fact, he actually said, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” Why do these phony not-christians never remember this one?
Dwendt44 November 9th, 2014 at 12:44 am
They don’t bother reading the bible, they know it might say something that doesn’t agree with them.
arc99 November 8th, 2014 at 7:56 pm
Just another hate pimp preaching to the gullible fools stupid enough to believe what he says..
I am not buying this sh*t that it is only a tiny few conservatives who believe this stuff.
As far as I am concerned, reasonable rational conservatives who are appalled at this kind of hatred towards the President are the exception, not the rule. When I see the right wing BS machine getting as agitated about these outbursts of ignorance, as they do about a temporary website glitch at healthcare.gov, I will reconsider my opinion.

Problem is, they don’t follow him, only claim to. This “pastor” (the word means shepherd, which he is decidedly not) is proof of that.

If you watch this video closely, at 20 seconds into it, you can see the “pastor” pull his gun from his waistband and put it into the lectern.

I don’t have the time to read, much less put in the hours of study that would be required for me to be able to speak on Islam. I’m sure as hell not going to take the word of some pundit.
How much time and effort have you put into studying Islam, Wastrel Way? Would you be capable of participating in an in-depth conversation that explored the many shades of difference between the many different sects without trying to play google catch-up?
Or are you just taking someone’s word for it?
Rather than plumbing the depths of this religion and the way the many sects interpret various texts and passages, I have the living and real example of how over 1 billion Muslims conduct themselves. They are not involved in terrorism. They tend to be very good at giving to charity, though. It is one of the pillars of their faith and they are very concerned with following through on it and the other 4 pillars.
I have known Muslims in my community and had several Muslim friends in Paris when I lived there and they were all fine people. They all lived up to the reputation for extraordinary hospitality and generosity.

I am a Christian who tends to be to the left of moderates and I have consistently condemned the speech of guys like this. I’ve been doing it here for years, sorry you missed it.
In doing so, I have not stooped to the level some do, which is to resort to bigotry. Indeed, stories like this are welcomed by Christian-hating bigots because they feel it gives them cover to express their hatred.
Unfortunately, just as, at times, we see the Right be silent when some of their number express bigotry for Muslims, we also see the Left, at times, give safe harbor to Christian-hating bigots.
For years I have pointed this out and have said we would see a decrease in bigotry if the Left and Right were to speak out against their allies who are bigots. I say give the bigots nowhere to go.
And searambler, one does not have to be a member of a group targeted by bigots to speak up. I am not gay but I defend gays against bigotry. I am not Jewish or Muslim, but I defend them, to. By the same token, I defend members of races I do not belong too, also.
See my above posts where I refer to things Christians are doing in the community and the challenges I gave to OldLefty and someone else to examine the websites of their local churches to see what they are up to. Then please get back to us on what you find and let us know if they are involved in hateful activities or those you find admirable.

Rev. Wright is an eight-year veteran of the United States Marines, and a leader in his community. None of of his sermons preach hate like this.
It’s Interesting that only racist white supremacist bigots seem to hate Rev. Wright and find anything wrong in what he says.

not after all the terrible, awful, mean and evil things he’s said about GOD, the Mother of GOD, and the TRUE Father of GOD. A Catholic would NEVER make such hated filled rantings against The Virgin Mary unless they were possessed …

I think people forget that all humans are not born equal.
The average IQ is 100, that value changes depending on the number of people tested and it changes over time.
We have lost 14 IQ points just since Victorian times, so humans are getting stupider.
While it is possible for two stupid people (anyone with an IQ lower than 100) to produce an intelligent offspring, it is not very likely and stupid people tend to have more children than intelligent people.
Stupid people tend to flock to people who are even stupider than themselves because it makes them feel smarter.
This idiot’s congragation must be slack jawed droolers who celebrate their collective idiocy.
We laugh at people who say such stupid things but statistically speaking there are at least 100 million Americans who are just as stupid and that makes them dangerous because they are too stupid to know just how stupid they are.
I am pretty sure that is why republicans don’t want any form of birth control, produce more voters just as stupid as this preacher and his idiot congregation.

That’s why Mohandas Ghandi said,
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are

Larry Schmitt November 9th, 2014 at 8:36 am
The same could probably be said about every religion and its followers.
OldLefty November 9th, 2014 at 8:47 am
True, and yet the loudest and most vociferous are often the most hypocritical.
burqa November 9th, 2014 at 3:06 pm
It’s a cute cliche, but if Ghandi came to my neck of the woods, he would have to say the contrary. I would take him down to the Thurman Brisben homeless shelter and show him what Christians are doing there. Then I’d take him to see what Micah Ministries is doing to feed the homeless, give them clothing and needed supplies of all sorts. I would take him around to a network of food banks and food pantries and introduce him to people who are gathering, storing and distributing dozens of tons of food each month to the needy. I know two women who operate a food pantry in a little house that gives big boxes of food to over 1,000 people and families a month. In a typical month, these 2 wonderful women, motivated by their faith, will distribute 70, 80, or maybe 90,000 pounds of food to the hungry. I’d introduce them to Ghandi. I would introduce them to you too, OldLefty.
OldLefty, I am surprised at you.
Please take the suggestion I made, above to someone. Randomly take a look at the web pages of a half dozen or so churches where you live. You’ll see a list of charities, programs and other activities they are involved with. If you have a local interfaith council, take a look at what they are up to. Once you have looked at enough of these churches to form a fair opinion as to what they are doing, often without fanfare, I think you will find the things they busy themselves with in your community will make them very likeable. Typically they will also be involved in charity efforts abroad. With nearly all the work done by volunteers, the overhead costs are minimal.
The good thing about you is I know if you’ll take my suggestion, you’ll not only give them a fair shot but you’re also strong enough to change your opinion to comport with the new facts that demand a new conclusion.
OldLefty November 9th, 2014 at 3:27 pm
But people from all religions and atheists do that as well.

And of those people, some one or some few people in the congregation must have actually read the Bible and actually have been inspired by the love of Jesus Christ. So why in the name of God doesn’t someone in the congregation not stand up and tell this “pastor” and sit down and stop being a hateful piece of crap?

Kimberly B Stone November 9th, 2014 at 7:44 pm
I think he must surround himself with sick minds. Because no sane mind within earshot is staying around to listen to this shit.

no argument there.
Kimberly B Stone November 9th, 2014 at 10:19 am
And let me continue my thought below in a more secular context. Let me ask this. Why isn’t this man publicly shamed and pelted with filth and driven out of his church and community by an angry crowd with pitchforks and torches? What has gone so wrong with us as liberals and citizens and humans that we put up with this ridiculousness? I believe, as taught by Dean Lee Bollinger author of “The Tolerant Society” that we must tolerate all forms of speech, not matter how vile. But at the same time I believe that we have the duty and obligation of counter-speaking, indeed, shouting down, filth like this. How does he have any place among decent people? Why aren’t we speaking out against him so loudly and so passionately that he knows he is rejected and crawls back into a sewer never to be heard from again?
So we know something is wrong with him. What I’m asking is – what’s wrong with us???

I agree, a lot of these people should be virtually tarred and feathered, ridiculed and run out of town. In the past, they would have been. Instead today they have so much influence and money they do and say some of the most vile and ridiculous things then are practically canonized.
This guy, is only an extension of the big guys on TV and radio who say the same type of things all in the name of god.
In the 70’s, we used to call then holy rollers and jesus freaks and run them out of our space, today they elect them to office.

Ms. Stone, I share your opinion regarding what the man has said, but you’re contradicting yourself right and left.
We do not tolerate hateful speech when we censor it by shouting someone down.
We also do damage to our other freedoms when we decide that someone saying things that are vile must be exiled or deported.
We must first remember that horrid tabloid-type stories like this are used to intensify interest on a website. Likewise, this dunce is likely saying things like this to get attention and clicks on his own website. The guy is a troublemaker and a dunce with no sense of propriety.
When we see something like this that arouses such an emotional reaction we need to be sure not to overreact and become like those we object to and reflect qualities we find objectionable in others.
If we call for those we find abhorrent to be pelted with filth, then we should not raise any objections when they pelt people we favor with filth. Otherwise we become hypocrites.
The trap we need to avoid with vile, emotionally-charged speech is to respond likewise. When we respond in a calm manner with strong arguments suporting our position, and when the debate is carried on in such an atmosphere, we not only present even more superior arguments but we also have a better chance of changing opinions.
This was recognized here years ago and we self-policed to where discussions were held in a more adult, convivial atmosphere. In such a setting, our arguments shine brightest and we all lose when it degenerates into an exchange of name-calling and mutual finger-pointing.

I’m sorry, am I being instructed to *apologize* for having a passionate distaste for this vomitworthy rhetoric? And being admonished to calmly accept this rubbish?
Not happening. I was calling for passionate denunciation of filth. I’ll put you down in the column that calmly tolerates filth, and thus endorses it.

If anyone needs to lose their religious tax exemption it is this guy. The President should make it a personal mission to ruin this him as well.

Interesting that so many so-called “Christian” leaders go against Christian values and teaching publicly…
burqa November 9th, 2014 at 2:33 pm
“So many”?
Don’t confuse the proportion who get noticed on tabloid websites with the population of Christians as a whole.
Take a look at your own community. How many kooks like the guy in the OP can be found there? Now take a look at all the churches listed in your local phone book.
Since you’re already online right now, google up a half dozen or so of your local churches and take a look at their web pages and take a look at what they are up to. You’ll see a list of programs and activities they are involved in. This will give you an idea of their interests and activities.
If you will try this with a fair, open mind, you will find yourself carrying misconceptions contradicted by a massive set of facts that demand a different conclusion. Now, your modified opinion may be contrary to what the crowd thinks about these people, and at that point you will discover how important it is to you to fit in with the crowd and how important it is for you to speak the truth about people you will discover are doing much that is praiseworthy.
Phoenix Redwolf November 9th, 2014 at 2:56 pm
Sorry, but the shear number of these wackos that espouse these views warrants the modifier many. Also, you can’t qualify CNN and other major media outlets who have reported on these people and the hateful views they espouse as “tabloid websites”. Furthermore, I didn’t equate these wackos with the population of Christians as a whole. I know their are many more Christians that don’t believe their views than that do. I’m specifically talking about the wacko leaders who claim to be Christians while not actually believing in the teachings of Christ.
burqa November 9th, 2014 at 7:22 pm
So it’s not so many after all.
I’m a Christian and am upset when things like this happen because I see daily some extraordinary people doing extraordinary things, motivated by their faith.
When a website or other news outlet puts out a large amount of this sort of coverage – yeah, that’s pretty tabloid-ish to me.
I’m with you on the nitwits like the guy in the OP.
I also agree with you on what the majority of Christians or those of other faiths are up to. Sometimes I can get others here to begrudgingly admit that, but it’s like pulling teeth to get them to admit what the vast majority are doing, even when they are their neighbors where they live.
What I see here in Liberaland is a reluctance, if not a refusal, to give a balanced view. In a time when there is so much darkness, so much hate, so much pain, so much idiocy, there are also positive stories of people serving others in an awesome way. I seem to be the only one around here willing to describe what I see these people doing to feed the hungry, house the homeless, give to the poor and tend to others in need.
Please take my suggestion and take a look around your community and then decide whether you have it in you to step out from the crowd and give credit where credit is due to those who do so much for those in need. I say the least, the LEAST the rest of us can do is stand up for them.
How about you?
Kimberly B Stone November 9th, 2014 at 7:41 pm
Who gets the press? The ordinary schmuck living an ordinary life trying to be a good person and good Christian in quiet ways, or a fire-breathing screaming raving hating asshole?
That’s tautological. You don’t have to respond.

Lucky for this turd, God isn’t real. If God existed, this racist would not be still alive.

GOD does not interfere with our affairs. GOD has been on vacation after Moses smashed the Ten Commandments. GOD loves the Sirius system so the Nomads will come and destroy us.

You don’t have to like the President to post here, but you do have to be civil toward other readers – or at least funny. You’re neither. You’re also banned.
Catharina Voorhoeve November 10th, 2014 at 8:19 am
I have seen the video and he is not saying that at all (that he wishes Obama dead). Although if you see the videos of Jonathan Kleck where he states that Obama IS the devil, you do not need to pray he drops dead, because he is on his way to hell anyway.It is not wrong to hate the devil.
Anyway the video is way softer: I wish I could have a family where I could stay at home and live in less stress raising my kids. I donot care about my career at all then. Now I need to care for I need to make money. I think he is great to give the ideal situation to strive for. Also a message to the man to get their but movin a little more, and take care of their woman would be wonderful. As for Obama, the pastor has been soft spoken about Him, check the videos of Jonathan Kleck. It is not about hate, it is about truth. Who wants the world to be a Muslim state? That is about hate

If Obama is going to hell, where is this pastor going. He’ll be in hell, too, buried up to his neck in the kind of crap that spews from his lips!
delorisw123 November 10th, 2014 at 11:32 pm
This slug, said he hated President Obama in 2009. He does NOT hate his policies…the slug hated HIM before he took office. Humm, the very definition of PRE-judge. Or PREJUDICE! What is that phrase that we see…”What would Jesus do?” NOT what this jerk has in mind! For him wanting to damn someone else to hell…WHAT kind of “REV.” is he? DUMB!!
