The only thing you have proven here is that there are a handful of extremists out there. Compared to the thousands of Christians pastors, it is a tiny tiny minority and their churches are really small. They are not going to have much influence with such a small radius, but the irony here is the pro-gay non-Christian atheist community are so desperate to hang Christians on their words that they post these videos online and give these guys a worldwide stage. They are actually contributing to the problem that they oppose.
I didn't see them, no. But then I generally don't go back and reread 15 pages between posting. In any event, any pastor or evangelical that would celebrate it, I would condemn.
And again....its MUSLIMS killing people, not us. When the worst you can say about a group is that a fringe group of theirs celebrates and not does the actual killing, but you refuse to condemn those that actually DO kill people, it's telling.
So killing innocent people who are children of God is wrong, right? And that place in Orlando was filled with people God so loved, and were INNOCENT and some raged maniac killed 49 innocent people..can you say that?
So you will preach on Sunday how the radical christian terrorist are WRONG to celebrate the 49 LGBTQ murders?
I know that you would like nothing better than to silence all of us who disagree with you no matter, Atheist, Christian or what ever....It's not going to happen....I suspect that there are more Christians that agree with us atheists on this gay issue than there are that agree with your judgemental point of view....It's far past time for people like you to stop judging, and begin minding your own business.
But it's quite fine to be intolerant and judgmental against us, huh? I tell you what, mind your own business and leave Christian business owners and churches alone and we'll mind ours. Deal?

You said yourself that all "sinners" deserve to be killed by your god. So even if you aren't doing your god's dirty work for him, you still believe that those homosexuals deserved to die because of their "sin."
That's the key: as unrepentant sinners, they deserved to die, according to your religion.

I give Vizio a bit of credit for distancing himself from the more radical over that top preachers, but that does not hide the fact that both the Christian and Muslim religions have, as their basic tenets, horrible, violent, ugly teachings, and use their 'holy' scriptures to back them up.
It can't come fast enough that those scriptures and the ideas they promulgate are thrown on the trash heap of history, never to raise their ugly heads again. When imaginary critters can drive people to torture, kill and maim other human beings, and so many still give credit to those imaginary critters, plead to them in their head, and adore them, what does that say about education?
Thankfully, if recent polls are to be believed, more and more western populations are turning away from these horrible fables. The USA is just a bit behind, as are many third world countries. One can only hope that the decline of religions will take on a logarithmic path to oblivion.
You want us to sit quietly while Christian business owners break the law? No deal. SSM is legal, act accordingly and serve all customer needs.
Freedom of religion is a law too, ya know. You are breaking the law by demanding that Christians violate their religion and limit our freedom. The laws you refer to are highly open to interpretation.

Please explain to me how this basic tenent is VIOLENT and UGLY:
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:36-40

Not really. Christianity continues to explode in countries like China and as a significant presence in South Korea and the Phillipines. South America is growing in penacostalism. There are 2 billion Christians worldwide. We're not going away anytime soon.
