Gospel of Hate: Arizona pastor Steve Anderson spews bile toward Obama, Frank, and gays
Pam Spaulding happened upon this character named Steven Anderson, who preaches from the pulpit at Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona. I compiled some of the more, ah, interesting bits from the sermons I surveyed into the 20-minute audio above.
As you can hear, this is pure eliminationism with a Biblical veneer. First he demands that all gays and lesbians face the death penalty:
The same God who instituted the death penalty for murders is the same god who instituted the death penalty for rapists and for homosexuals, sodomites and queers!
That's what it was instituted for, okay? That's God, he hasn't changed. Oh, God doesn't feel that way in the New Testament ... God never "felt" anything about it, he commanded it and said they should be taken out and killed.
You know why God wanted the sodomites in the Old Testament to be killed? You know why every good king of Israel, the Bible says they got rid of the sodomites in the land? You know, the good kings that came after the bad kings who had allowed the sodomites to infest their land, they had infiltrated ... King Asa got the sodomites out of the land, Jehoshaphat exterminated the sodomites that were left from the days of his father, Asa. Why? Because the sodomites are infectious, that's why. Because they're not reproducers, that goes without saying, they're recruiters.
How are they multiplying? Do you not see that they're multiplying? Are you that blind? Have you noticed that there's more than there were last year and the year before, and the year before that? How are they multiplying? They're reproducing right? No, here's a biology lesson: they're not reproducers, they're recruiters! And you know who they're after? Your children. Remember you dropped off your kids last week? That's who they're after. You drop them off at some daycare, you drop them off at some school somewhere, you don't know where they're at. I'll tell you where they're at: they're being recruited by the sodomites. They're being molested by the sodomites. I can tell you so many stories about people that I know being molested and recruited by the sodomites.
They recruit through rape. They recruit through molestation. They recruit through violation. They are infecting our society. They are spreading their disease. It's not a physical disease, it's a sin disease, it's a wicked, filthy sin disease and it's spreading on a rampage. Can't you see that it's spreading on a rampage? I mean, can you not see that? Can you not see that it's just exploding in growth? Why? Because each sodomite recruits far more than one other sodomite because his whole life is about recruiting other sodomites, his whole life is about violating and hurting people and molesting 'em.

Then he rips into Barney Frank, blaming him for the economic collapse:
I'm here to preach the Bible. And I'm sick to death -- hey, let me tell you something. Our country is run by faggots. You know who wrote this 700-billion-dollar bailout bill? You know who was the man who was the architect of the bailout? His name is Barney Franks, he is a pedophile, he has been arrested for uh, interacting with boys that are in their teenage years when he's in his 50s, it's in the news, he's been arrested for it. He is a pedophile, he is a homosexual, he has stood up in the floor of the sacred halls of justice and said, 'I am gay, I am a sodomite.'
That's Barney Frank, that's who just sold our country into fascism. That's who just sold our corporations to the government. That's who sold out our country, a faggot! And I'm here to tell you something! I'm not going to stand for it, and let a faggot run the church! It's bad enough that we've got a bunch of faggots running the government!
Most disturbing of all, you can hear him, in his Aug. 16 sermon titled "I Hate Barack Obama," not only openly avow his complete and utter hatred of the president, but openly wish for his death -- because of his support for abortion rights and the "lewdness" he supposedly has brought to American society.
His key motif, inspired by one of King David's imprecatory prayers against his enemies, is to compare Obama to a slug or snail and wishing he could pour salt on him:
Yeah, God appointed him to destroy this country for the wickedness of the United States of America. God appointed him because that's what our country has turned into. That's who we deserve as a president.
But let me tell you something: I don't love Barack Obama. I don't respect Barack Obama. I don't obey Barack Obama. And I'd like Barack Obama to melt like a snail tonight. Because he needs to recompense, he needs to reap what he's sown.
You see, any Christian will tell you that someone who commits murder should get the death penalty. Because that's what it says in Genesis Chapter 9, that's what it says in the Mosaic Law, that's what it teaches us throughout the Bible. 'Who so sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed.' 'From the image of God created he Man.'
And when Barack Obama is gonna push his partial birth abortion, his salty saline solution abortion, hey, he deserves to be punished for what he's done. I'm not going to pray for God to bless Barack Obama. This is my prayer tonight to Barack Obama.
...Now, look, if somebody wants me, it somebody twisted my arm and tells me to pray for Barack Obama, this is what I'm going to pray, because this is the only prayer that applies to him: 'Break his teeth, O God, in his mouth. You know, as a snail which melteth, let him pass away. Like the untimely birth of a woman, that he thinks -- he calls it a woman's right to choose, you know, he thinks it's so wonderful. He ought to be aborted. It ought to be, 'Abort Obama.'
He goes on to equate Obama with Hitler, Stalin, and Jeffrey Dahmer. Then he explains:
You say why are you preaching this, you know what? Because it makes me mad. I'm mad. I don't know about you, but I'm fed up tonight. I'm angry tonight. Because I'm angered by a bunch of preachers who want to sit back, and let America go to hell, let our freedoms go to hell, let the souls of Americans go to hell, and we all just sit back and just, we're comfortable, we're lazy, we're lukewarm, we're neither cold nor hot, and we want to come to church and have our ears tickled. Hey! This isn't to tickle your ears, it's to give you a swift kick in the pants tonight! 'Cuz that's what you need every once in awhile!
... But I'm here to tell you tonight, that God is a God of wrath and vengeance. And that's the message that oughta be thundering from every pulpit in America today. People oughta be trembling today. People in America oughta be scared to death and trembling! And saying, 'Oh God! What are you gonna do to our country?! Oh, God! Are we gonna be able to survive?! Oh, God! Are you gonna allow us to go into the depths of socialism, and communism with Barack Obama!?'
Anderson goes on to mangle Obama's personal history, buying whole into the "birther" mythology that Obama was actually born in Kenya (using a bevy of racist stereotypes along the way), and then says that people like Obama are "so wicked" that they become "animals" who are "not human" and "past feeling."
That leads to this:
Let me tell you something: Barack Obama has wrought lewdness in America. America has become lewd. What does lewd mean? L-E-W-D? [Pause] Obscene. Right? Dirty. Filthy. Homosexuality. Promiscuity. All of the -- everything that's on the billboard, the TV. Sensuality. Lewdness! We don't even know what lewdness means anymore! We're just surrounded by it, inundated with it!
... And yet 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 and partial-birth abortion and all these different things -- you're gonna tell me I'm supposed to pray for God to give him a good lunch tomorrow while he's in Phoenix, Arizona.
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, that's what I'm going to pray. And you say, 'Are you just saying that?' No. When I go to bed tonight, Steven L. Anderson is going to pray for Barack Obama to die and go to hell.
You say, 'Why would you do that?' That our country could be saved.
we'll soon find out he takes the ole' kilbasa up the keister on the DL.
The type is so often engaged in the very activities they claim others should be condemned and executed for. He's in such denial that he needs executions to be done "out there" as a release of his own self-hating anxiety.
What a pathetic little worm.
"By words the mind is winged." - Aristophanes
He's a tool that has an axe to grind with his own personal issues. Every time I go to my church, the reverend has never once said "Jesus loves everyone...except gays, blacks, gays, Mexicans, gays, Democrats, oh did I mention the gays?"
If there was any justice, he would step down or be shown the door. Screw him and his hateful heart. I bet you he was quiet as a mouse when Bush was destroying this country.
And damn it I dare anyone to show me the exact page(s) in the bible where it says clear as day that God hated homosexuals. Bunch of right wing idiots stuck in the middle freaking ages. FUCK!

he needs to really do some serious re-reading of quite a lot of the scriptures that hes taken out of context for his own wretched worldview. Jesus never said anything about gay people. this guy makes Rev Wright look like a deaf mute. sheesh.
How many months will it be before he's found in the "No-Tell Motel" in Tijuana with 2 underage dead male hookers under an exhausted mule, a live little boy about to OD, cases of Sterno, PBR, Dewar's, a kilo of China White, 1/2 a kilo of Peruvian Flake, and the good Reverand dressed as Little Bo Peep with a whirring weedwacker stuck up his ass and a woodchipper streaming the blood of of his macerated wife.
2 months or 3?
I bet under...
which part of your rant is over-the-top. Can't do it.
I will get down on my arthritic knees every night and pray that this cretin is called before his God to account for the hatred and malice he has allowed to enter and take over his life and his ministry. He makes me ashamed to admit I am a Christian.
He has no more to do with being a Christian than others who also have claimed faith as a vehicle for their hatred. You know, like Hitler or the Inquisitors

absolutely correct. Love your name.
I'm here to preach the Bible. And I'm sick to death -- hey, let me tell you something. Our country is run by ******s. You know who wrote this 700-billion-dollar bailout bill? You know who was the man who was the architect of the bailout? His name is Barney Franks, he is a pedophile, he has been arrested for uh, interacting with boys that are in their teenage years when he's in his 50s, it's in the news, he's been arrested for it. He is a pedophile, he is a homosexual, he has stood up in the floor of the sacred halls of justice and said, 'I am gay, I am a sodomite.'
First off, the bastards who wrote that banking bailout bill were "fags" named Tim Geithner and Hank 'Skeltor' Paulson.
Whoever said on an earlier post that the true is foreign to bastards like Steve Anderson, was spot on the money.
Barney Frank, as I recall, was the Congress Member that didn't want to give Wall Street shyt and essentially told them to clean up their own shyt.
. . . save me from your people.
Say it!
The one who screams "gay" the loudest always is! I would bet anything he jerks himself off to the men's underwear section of a Sears catalogue.
How pathetic and sad for him.
Jesus's General presented and discussed, a video of Pastor Anderson's sermon about how manly and religious it is to stand up and piss against a wall.
who was at a border checkpoint and when he refused to let BP agents search his car, was forcibly removed? He posted a video about it and, on his wife's hateful, meanspirited "Christian" blog they blamed the whole thing on Obama and the usual "new world order" ultra far right garbage.
It sure sounds like that dumbass!
This guy and his wife are the real menace to our country. Not Obama. This guy and his "church" are just as bad as the Phelps people!

Come on, People! Start the Clock! Whenever a Christo-Talibanist pastor like Steven Anderson goes off like this, you just KNOW its because he's GAY TOO!
Its called PROJECTION and that's what the GOP and it's Christian so-called leaders do. Its only a matter of TIME before Steven Anderson goes all TED HAGGARD on his flock of SHEEP. Hello? "Me thinks he doth protest too much"?
How many times do we have to witness the weeping, slobbering, snot-nosed teary-eyed "confessions" of these self-loathing Christian hypocrites?
There is nothing new to see here. The names of the players and the played change. But, their hate remains the same. Welcome to day's Christian/FOX News/GOP religion. Boring.
there is nothing happy or positive about the world he lives in. why doesnt he just kill himself so he doesnt have to exist in the world he believes is around him? what an amazingly self loathing wretch.
According to the bible, in the end, Jesus was surrounded by prostitutes, drunks, homeless and others, who at the time were considered the bottom of the barrel. This guy is not Christian, because a real Christian would not go around preaching hatred and killing, they would preach respecting and reaching out, they would spend their time helping the poor, healing the sick, etc. Those freaking liberals who follow Jesus.
this Gooper twat will be discovered with his poleyster slacks around his ankles . . . well need I go on?

"Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him."
1 John 3:15 (KJV)
So the Bible says that his man who so proudly preaches his hatred of Obama is a murderer, who by his own standards is worthy of being put to death.
But they'll always come up with that cheap excuse - Jesus wasn't talking about THEM. He was only talking about OUR KIND. That's their defense whenever you point out that maybe the guy would have frowned on being an asshole to people.

then you have projection and hate.

Tax the douchebag.
as that guy. I've never been a hate-filled preacher in AZ. Just saying...
He points one finger, and three point right back at him. This man has a sexual obsession. If I were in his congregation, I would not let my kids NEAR him. Besides being a raving lunatic, he is also desperately worried about his sexual orientation, and he has a desire for power... bad combo.
Yeah, um:
That's funny: I asked God about this myself, and He didn't serve up any news articles; just some blotter fodder about protesters and the usual right-wing putrescence that doesn't even qualify as snark.
Like this one. In the meta the page title line is:
Curiously, the last line in the article says:
Clearly these attacks are about his personal polarity, not for any platform or political position. Would he be garnering the same venom if there was an "(R)" behind his name?
Where do these people come from?
Niewart, I appreciate your tenacious coverage of this issue. It just seems that in the most prominent and dominant "civilization" on our globe, you really shouldn't have to be this busy with it.

I love Obama, the world loves Obama. I believe this man is secretly gay, and because of that, hates all the people who are happy who are comfortable with themselves.
Dear Reverend Anderson-
I write in response to an audio recording of your sermons that I heard online at http://crooksandliars.com/node/30652.
I’ve no desire to get in to a theological discussion with you, but I’m curious about a few things:
How is it that the home page of your parish it says, that you teach “the gospel of Jesus Christ”, yet the anti-gay statements you make are not in the New Testament?
Where do you get the idea that Barney Frank “has been arrested for uh, interacting with boys that are in their teenage years when he's in his 50s”? I did a Lexis-Nexis search and came up with nothing other than people like you saying this with no proof. If you’re really looking for pedophiles, why not try some of the Republicans and Baptist preachers and Catholic priests who’ve been actually been caught with little boys?
I listened your August 16 sermon titled, “I hate Barack Obama”. I wonder, Reverend, how many times did Jesus direct the word “hate” at another human being?
Why do you think Jesus helped Mary Magdelene yet you pray that Barack Obama dies in the name of Jesus?
Why do you call yourself Christian yet reference the Old Testament so often? Jesus was kind and considerate and helped the poor. The Old Testament is full of the vengeful God who killed people with abandon. Which do you practice in your life? Is it the love of Jesus or the vengefulness of the Old Testament God?
I expect that in your eyes I am a disgusting heathen who will burn in hell, yet having familiarized myself with some of your sermons, I can only hope that we heathens inherit the earth instead of Christians like you. Less hate, less judging, and more kindness for all is what the earth will be like were it to happen. In the meantime, I’ll be walking about the earth smiling at everyone I see and hating no one, be they Muslim, gay, black or even fundamental Christians, and I will hope that President Obama does the same. I wonder if you could spend a day doing that or even an hour?
Let’s say your prayers are answered and Barack dies. I can only imagine how happy you will be when you see Malia and Sasha, President Obama’s daughters, crying as the casket that contains their dead father passes them by while you savor the immense satisfaction of personally causing the death of their father. Do you think Jesus would be proud of you?
...apparently they Taze several times.
Narcissist, closet homosexual. This dude's got some serious issues. I worry about people who happen to drive by his church in vehicles with Obama stickers, or park within a 5 mile radius. I sometimes want to take polls regarding when people like this will snap and we'll hear of yet another murder/suicide, but then it strikes me that I don't want to feel enjoyment at another's suffering. (I do watch viral videos of painful accidents, but there's a big difference between that and death or torture.)
However, him being "beaten to a pulp" by BP is rather satisfying. His righteous indignation will protect him from being overly damaged by the experience. He's probably pleased that he's been kicked by Da Man - kind of like the wanna-be thugs actually wanting prison time so they're more "real" or something.
Anyone out there who does pray, send a few for his kids. He's got three little boys at the mercy of the cruel, homosexual world. Maybe they're home-schooled, but Daddy's favorite book is King James Bible Only (see his profile on the church site). I used to babysit for extremely Baptist people who screened PBS shows for their kids and didn't allow them to watch any other channel, but they could watch a few select movies. Bible cartoons of course, Bambi (weird), and The Last Temptation of Christ. Guess what the kids always watched? Total monsters to take care of too, zero discipline, but nobody could go within 6' of Mommy's prayer table.
These abused, fake Right Wing religious leaders are certainly possessed by the devil to be so full of hatred, lies and intolerance of all god's children.
Look at his crazy eyes. You can tell he was the proud product of incest.
Tomas Gonzales, 61, of Mercedes. TX: two counts of indecency with a child and eight counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Gonzales, who serves as pastor at Templo Nuevo Vida, as arrested after 15-year-old female relative wrote a letter to her mother saying that the man had sexually abused her since she was about 5 years old. Eventually, the girl’s 13-year-old sister came forward with similar accusations. “I committed the error,” he said in Spanish during the arraignment. “Now I have to pay for it,” He has confessed to the charges against him and is awaiting a formal plea. The pastor Allegedly abused the two girls when they visited him at his home, the sergeant said. The sisters are currently receiving counseling. Investigators said they are following leads that could result in more charges against Gonzales. He was believed to have picked up children from around the neighborhood to take them to church services. One parishioner said, "if one doesn't go with the children, they shouldn't let Them go at all."

William Frank Brown, 45, Waco, TX: four counts of Indecency with a child by contact and four counts of aggravated sexual assault. The pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bellmead was named in an eight-count indictment stemming from a series of child sexual abuse incidents involving two girls that started four years ago in another state. Brown was arrested after one of the victims told a school counselor about the sexual abuse. Which started when the girls were between 9 and 10 years of age. Source: KWTX, 6/19/09
Rev. Antonio Cortes, 41, Salinas, CA: child molestation and providing alcohol to a minor. In graphic detail, two Salinas Police Department officers testified at a hearing about alleged sexual molestation by Cortes, pastor of Saint Mary's of the Nativity church. The victim, "John Doe,” male, 16, alleges Cortes gave him a massage in the priest's house. He then placed a white washcloth over the boy's eyes, and Cortes unzipped his pants and the sex act started. The detectives found tens of thousands of pictures of young boys as well as boys at church functions. The defense maintains no actual rape occurred and the child porn might not be Cortes’. The judge ruled the trial could proceed.

Study the symptoms not the virus...
A very few years ago, a pastor in Long Beach, California got up before his congregation on the Sunday before a national election and said "look at the facts, search your consciences, and vote accordingly." The Bush Administration guidelines on permitted religious speech meant the IRS moved to revoke the tax-exempt status of the curch, the pastor got to spend several days in the local Federal Building "explaining" his "disloyalty" and a well-rehearsed program of harassment stayed in place for over a year.
I don't see any of that happening here, other than a routine Secret Service check on speech likely to incite violence against the President and/or members of the U.S. Congress.
The Republicans went through over a thousand hours of sermons by Rev Wright to cull twenty minutes of "hateful speech" and yet I don't see them saying anything about this trash. How times do change.
After surfing around a bit, I found this interview with "Chris", the nut job with the AR15 at the town hall in Arizona last week. Can you guess which church he belongs to and who his Pastor is?

He has 3. Names are sanderson1611 and sanderson1769.
His 3rd one, AndersonFireAZ, is for his fire alarm company, but something I found VERY interesting is that the large majority of his "friends" and those he subscribes to on Youtube are young boys around the ages of 15-17.
looks like he has had more than one d**k up his a**!! Probably a DEEP in the closet self-hating gay (not that there's anything wrong with it) man who can't admit it.
... any contact information on this clown? Because I'd like to send a special sermon just for him.

What are the odds that this guy isn't gay? Jeez, Steve, repressed much?
Here we go again - another self-loathing repressed gay man willing to say or do anything to deny what he is.
Look at this guy's picture and tell me your gaydar isn't screaming right now. Shades of Ted Haggert and Larry Craig, this guy is screeching for some guy to put something in his mouth to shut him up.
No doubt.
Remove all tax exempt status for these houses of hate worship. It's all politics all the time with these snake oil salesmen nowadays.
somebody in the media gets the National Assosciation of Baptists on the TV machine and makes them defend or deny this hate-monger.
Time to put the Church whose name he uses on the spot.
And hat's off to Comtessa Brewer for stepping up to the plate on this one.

A few years ago, a church in Pasadena, CA got in hot water with the IRS during an election. No political preference was given, just that the parishoners get out and vote their conscience. Clearly the prosecution was politically motivated by the Bush administration.
I am calling upon the IRS to go after this hate-mongering bastard. Who is he to call for death to another human being? Is this Christianity at it best or worst?

Wow... I listened and I read... I wanted to look away but the morbid fascination held me to the end. And now I feel utterly ill to the depths of my being for knowing that this mentality is a part of "Christian America". The Hate in the name of God is nothing new but it continues to astonish me. I am not a Christian but I do know and love God deeply. This man has no idea who God is nor should he be spreading his hate from the pulpit. It's frightening to think that he has followers but he does. I feel slimed... sick to my soul...

"That which you do to the least of my brothers, that you do onto me!"
it bears repeating. There are some really fabulous calm and peace inducing lessons in the Bible, which these people ignore.
They just focus on the angry god parts,
They just focus on the parts of the bible where angry men like Steven Anderson used God's name to do there evil.
In commenting about this suppose to be Pastor in Tempe Arizona,you got to be kidding me,You preaches Hate what has President Obama did to you or anybody else but to try to make America better by provideing health Insurance for every American,something that you Republicans over looked it is obvious,You realy need to be put in Jail in my opinion,because you have a plaform with your Church,and can influence a lot of peoples,look at that NUT with the Rifle that was in your congregation the Night prior,and same peoples will try to use your Sick thinking to try to justify hurting Our President,If the shoe was on the other foot,and this had been President Bush instead of President Obama,I feel that you would be in jail right now,in fact all that you had to do was to be in one of Bush town hall meetings,and speak something negative against him,and you would be escorted out of the building,and many was put in Jail.How can you say what you are saiding,and state that you are a Pastor,You need to have your congregation read in the Bible Matthew 22:37-39 a thousand times,and you need to read it two thousand.
I don't see what the big deal is about this. Praying for some one to die isn't illegal. Neither is "hating ******s". It makes a good headline or sound-byte, but there's no story here imho.

“Pastor” Anderson is a complete FRAUD. He never even went to college! He started this so-called church with only minor knowledge of the Bible. Being a Rightwinger, the crook is probably hiding his little hate group behind the word “church” so he can weasel out of paying taxes.
