Curtis Knapp is the pastor of New Hope Baptist Church in
Seneca, Kansas, and he thinks the government should kill homosexuals.
Quoting Scripture, Knapp said in 2012 that homosexuals “should be put
to death. That’s what happened in Israel. That’s why homosexuality wouldn’t
have grown in Israel. It tends to limit conversations. It tends to limit people
coming out of the closet.” Being a sensible man, however, Knapp didn’t
think you should just start going around killing gays: “‘So, you’re saying we should go out and start killing them?’ No. I’m
saying the government should. They won’t, but they should.” When confronted
with his claims, Knapp pointed out that “We
punish pedophilia. We punish incest, we punish polygamy and various things.
It’s only homosexuality that is lifted out as an exemption.” Ah, distinctions.
How the f*** do they work?
Diagnosis: No, Fred Phelps isn’t alone. Curtis Knapp has all
of Phelps’s charisma and reasoning skills – and probably not much less impact.
Ah yes, yet another 'man of God' preaching hate and violence. Give me the rational mind of a Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris over a raving mad theocrat anytime!
ReplyDeleteA danger to the public. Disgusting.
ReplyDeleteI think we can add any member if this church to this list... pastor or not.
