#2648: Earl Carter

Earl Carter is a sex-obsessed, perverse unhinged, hateful Florida-based pastor (possibly: there is some serious lack of clarity about the whereabouts of his ministry and his background). Carter does not like homosexuality, and his rants against gay people are characterized by i) extreme bloodlust and violence fetishism and ii) very long, detailed descriptions of anatomy and sexual acts. Now, Carter is adamant that he doesn’t hate homosexuals: “I don’t hate gays, I’m just like the doctor who hates disease, I fight the disease. My gospel is like chemotherapy” – and Carter does indeed claim to have “cured” several gay people by means of fundie religious ranting – but he also quickly added that if he were able to express his true feelings, “then I’ll be whipping sissies. You’re talking about gay bashing, it would be gay stoning.” Well, then. The reason for the apparent conflict between the statements is of course that Earl Carter is unable to entertain a coherent line of thought. Also, gay men are “sissies” who he hoped would “bleed from their butts.”

 

In connection with the 107th Holy Convocation convention for the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) in 2015, where he gave a sermon, he also offered to “tell you how I feel about Obama, how I feel about Oprah, how I feel about anybody that supports the Democratic Party. Sometimes they immoral. They just don’t have any morals at all.” (Yes, Carter struggles with the distinction between morally good actions and hate-motivated murder). He also prayed “that God should punish gay men with menstrual bleeding, hot flashes and pregnancy” because anal sex is “hygienically crazy.” Then he asked people to support him so that he could “terrorize this country in the name of the Lord.” Apparently, his 2015 appearance with COGIC has had an interesting aftermath.

 

Diagnosis: Deranged pervert whose thoughts are glued together by hate and bloodlust alone. Lock your doors when he’s in your vicinity. (No seriously: this guy is dangerous and has done jailtime for violence on several occasions)
