A Michigan pastor has come under fire after he told his congregation that same-sex marriage was wrong because homosexuality was a choice like choosing to be an “axe murderer.”
During a sermon earlier this month, Clint Echols, pastor of First Baptist Church in Zeeland, pointed out that the Bible said that God considered homosexuality to be an “abomination.”
According to Echols, the church should not accept the sexual preference of LGBT people because it was like saying “I think I’m an axe murderer.”
“It’s an internal compass and a person can discover their sexuality at any moment…oh wait a second, I’m gay, I’m bisexual, I want to change my gender, these things, and that’s being true to themselves and being true to their internal compass,” Echols said.
“For instance on another, a completely other playing field, if tomorrow I woke up because I have this internal compass that’s telling me what truth is,” he continued. “Tomorrow, if I wake up and say, well, I think I’m an axe murderer, now I’m an axe murderer, would you be happy with that? Would you agree? Would you want me to follow that internal compass?”
Personally I am guessing that this asshole does not even possess an "internal compass." That's why he needs a book to tell him right from wrong.
I mean seriously, comparing being gay to being a murderer? What kind of fucked up thinking is that?
By the way here is a list of things that the Bible labels an "abomination":
