Verity Baptist Church Pastor Roger Jimenez sparked an outcry and rebukes from national Baptist leaders by saying at the pulpit last Sunday that his only problem with Omar Mateen’s killing of 49 people at a gay nightclub is that Mateen “didn’t finish the job.”
A Sacramento, Calif., church whose pastor celebrated the Orlando massacre will not have its lease renewed next year, its landlord said Tuesday.
www.nydailynews.com...
this preacher in Sacramento was so over the top CELEBRATING the 50 deaths in the Orlando gay club...
he actually said all the gays in the usa should be put in front of a firing squad......the owners of the land he was renting from were appalled (and rightfully so) that when the lease is up march 2017 they will not renew the contract. They are welcome to leave before that
many people protested outside the church( hundreds)....this preacher couldn't be more hateful.....we don't need this kind of extreme hate

There are consequences to free speech and I agree with it in this instance.

dont blame the pastor. blame religion.
he's just following what his good book says, correct? if the bible said to love and live in harmony with homosexuals [i feel like if i write homos i'll been viewed as anti gay...], he would live in harmony with them.
am i wrong? should the pastor rebuke his beliefs in the name of PC. when he gets to the pearly gates, or where ever
religious people go, would he be rather following what's in his doctrine, or what society deems acceptable?

NO HE BLOODY WELL DID NOT!
He did NOT follow the good book when he stated that all homosexuals should be shot in a firing squad, and nor did he follow the good book when he said that the shooter in the Orlando incident should have "finished the job".
Jesus said that we should not judge our fellow human beings, lest we be judged ourselves. He knew that we are not perfect beings, and that we do not have the moral high ground, because we are all sinners to one degree or another. He knew that such a task is up to God, and God alone. To take on the mantle of judgement is to take Gods place, which is precisely the sort of stupidity that got Lucifer chucked down to hell for eternity, so it's not recommended.
The guy needs to read the damned book again, if he thinks his nonsense is justified. Either that, or he is reading the wrong book.
