I give you… Baptist Nutball Sam Morris

Baptist pastor Sam Morris made the news this week because of his mouth. He let it spew hatred in public. The world too note of his idiocy. Key points follow:

  • Public schools are "mind-control centers." 
  • Public schools teach "junk about evolution." 
  • Public schools teach "how to be a homo." 
  • He thinks all this is about gun control. 
  • Called equal rights a "sham" and equated it with "equal immorality." 
  • Claimed Adam Lanza was taught that he was a God in public school. 
  • Suggested we publicly mutilate the body of Adam Lanza. 
  • Morris wants revenge against a dead man.
  • Conflated mass murder with his political position on abortion. 
  • Ranted on gun control while claiming that mass shootings never take place at gun shows which suggests that if school teachers were armed it would have prevented the shooting. 
  • Blamed the shooting on kicking God out of public schools. 
  • Called public school "government school." 
  • Said that evolution teaches us that we are animals, so we can act like animals. 
  • Suggested that public schools teach you to rebel against your parents.

All this tripe from a pastor in response to a mass murder. I listened to his words in disbelieve. Where is the love of Christ in this message of paranoia and hate? How is this Christianity? How is Pastor Morris a role model or a leader of sane people? Not only are his words political rhetoric and full of vitriol, they are universally the words of a ranting nutball… except from maybe the part about no mass murders at gun shows. He also suggested that there had never been a shooting at gun show. Ten seconds on the internet proves that wrong

Pastor Sam Morris preaches at Old Paths Baptist Church. Does Morris actually preach? You be the judge.

I always spend a little time looking at the education of blowhards like Morris. He claims to have a Doctorate of Divinity in 2011 from Historic Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary, in Scarborough, Ontario. (Which is actually an unaccredited school located in a church.) The school website does not offer PhD programs. And get this, the school gives women a different degree then men for the same course of study. Morris sounds "highly" educated. 

Is this what being a Christian is all about? Is it simply a collection of paranoia, fear, hatred, and contempt for the truth? Where is the love? Where is the sympathy for the victims of this horrible tragedy?

When I read stories like this, I find myself wondering whether picketing this particular church might be worth doing. Imagine if a small group of freethinkers in the community sent press releases to the local media announcing it and then showed up to picket. They'd have the opportunity to explain why this man was wrong and bad for the community.

I would do it.
In the days since the mass murders there's seems to be a contest as to which preacher man can be the most offensive with their public response:

"Watching the Memorial service for the twenty-six precious lives taken from us was painful to say the least, but it was far more painful to the God who made America great. Newtown cancelled Christmas so it could properly mourn. How foolish, yet typical of governmental strategy to replace God.

(Newton's citizens choosing to take down their X-mas decorations was a government edict?)

The 'Interfaith' service was an affront to Almighty God. Those claiming to be His priests barely mentioned His Name --Jesus! After all, He is the only God there is! What happened? We violently removed the fear of Almighty God from the hearts of our children. We expelled God from school and banished Him from the schoolyard.

(yes, the fear of gods is a higher priority than the message of their spawn to be nice to one another)

He was replaced with metal detectors, condoms, policemen, anti-bullying policies, No-gun zones, and violence of unprecedented order. Our strategy has replaced God's Truth. We are losing our kids because we are ignoring God's Law." - Pastor Pat McEwen, in a press release published by Christian Newswire.

(ummmah, what is the address of the Church of Condoms and where do we drop off our tithes? Am all signed up for the Church of the Seven Manicurists, drat!)
Here's the "Christian Nation" SOP in re: mass murder of children:

"20 children are receiving the BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER ...in the presence of God and our Lord Jesus Christ ! Thx Tom Thompson for that perspective"

[Humanity without religion is like a serial killer without a chainsaw]
Understanding why Christians who profess a religion of love,and peace yet follow preachers who teach hate,and bigotry is mind boggling.The bible has over 10,000 acts of violence,murder,rape,baby killing,human sacrifice,pro slavery,misogyny,and mass genocide.The Koran running a close second.These faiths of evil are a plight on the human condition.

World Nut Daily, home of conspiracy theorists, has a new wrinkle in their tin-foil hats: Pastor Bradlee Dean (who lost his law suit against Dr. Rachel Maddow for quoting/discussing his pulpit pounding propaganda)

insists the mass shooting in Newton, Connecticut, was .------ >staged by Obama to aid the passage of the UN Arms Trade Treaty and gun control legislation, and then compares the conspiracy to that of the Nazis setting the Reichstag Fire.

If the Newton massacre was not a set-up by the Kenyan Usurper as Bradlee Dean suggests, then it must be Ol' Scratch himself, literally who committed the mass killing last week through his choice of weapons and Scratch's personally hand picked Adam Lanza. http://www.christianpost.com/news/adam-lanzas-ram...
Each morning the 'puter's booting up brings yet more hyperlinks to hyper-spiritually constipated tomes on the slaughter of innocents:

"...But even in the midst of such terror and tragedy, Satan can never outsmart Jesus on any level. Satan cannot keep those children from entering heaven to live with Jesus forever. "
Dan Delzell, writing for the Christian Post.
Satan,and the risen Jesus are the same person his homeys did not even recognize him so he fooled them all with the old"Look at my hands see they have holes in them" trick.The great deceiver has locked up the souls of every christian for forgetting Isaiah 43:10-13 "I am the Lord there have been none before me,and I will make none .Beside me their is NO savior." OT clearly states many times not to fall for this trick of Satan's. Christians have been suckered in,and deserve their fate.That's if you believe in that bullshit?

Oc course they deserve their fate. Look how christians like roger and l4s act. They pretend to be all peacful and loving then they call for the complete destruction of America:

My chuckle is that Iran is going to slip one through our admittedly very porous southern border and then detonate this in a US city

I'm hoping for a nuclear holocaust myself. I wouldn't shed a tear if the whole country was reduced to cinders. It's no more than we deserve.
More peace loving quotes from the loving christians:

Violence is the answer for the Christians. That may sound harsh but until we wipe out all other religions and atheism with extreme violence we will not be able to control the world the way it should be. We need OT laws in place. This is the way God intended and the way it will be. You are either with us or against us.

The Declaration of Independence and Constitution are not worth the paper they are printed on any more. Time to scrap those outdated documents and establish a new law. What we need is Old Testament laws
