This guy is a total [jerk]! How dare he say we should be executed! He worries about God and the bible? He should worry more about his own soul!

Seems to me that the people who are creating most of the tensions in the world today are “religious” people. These nutjobs offer nothing more than “after-life insurance”. They create the “devils” they then claim to help rid you of. What a classic catch-22. They are so totally barinwashed by silly and outdated myths from thousands of years ago that barely relate to the world today at all and they run around trying to rule everybody else’s life claiming they are doing this in “the name of God”. How breathtakingly arrogant and unbelievably ignorant. Certainly, this troubled individual should never hold an elected position.

It takes a long time for hatreds to end, doesn’t it. At least Canada has a room for this guy waiting at their big house.

Here in MD we had a legislator say exactly the same thing early this year. To show the moral depravity of right wing religion and how it poisons societies, I can tell you that some of his ancestors were most likely castrated and lynched for whistling at a woman of different skin color.

And these hatreds are little different then the hatred against Jews that gave hitler the lever to gain absolute power, and kill 50 million people in WWII. And that coward took his own life, rather then face justice in the end.

Maybe there is something to this business I really don’t understand about being “born again”. Yuk

I’m not defending his comments of course, but regarding the Canadian law, is saying gays should be “executed” the same as “inciting violence”? You’re not advising anyone to rise up, you’re not telling people to kill. You’re basically saying “there should be a law based on the bible and the violation of that law should be death”… not quite the same thing as wanting people to rise up and kill. He didn’t stand in that gym and tell those kids they should kill. Again, I have to emphasize I’m asking this from a legal standpoint and not condoning this guy who’s obviously a complete crackpot.

I hope that that man never gets elected. His comment is extremely hateful and someone like that should not be permitted to hold such a respectable position (representing the people). And the Bible says to love your enemies, not execute them.

After reading about his man’s treatment of his own mother (abuse conviction)that he should say the Bible is his guide. Does the Bible not say honour thy father and thy mother. This is a Christian? The Bible also says treat thy neighbour as thyself. It also says that as you treat the least of my children so you are treating me.

It really irks me when people use the Bible or any other Holy Book to promote hate.

When Jesus was on the earth he visited the lepers and people were appalled. I wonder how many so-called Christians have spent time with HIV/AIDS patients, who are treated like lepers by Bible-thumpers.

I so much admire our neighbor to the North ( that we in the U.S. so often take for granted – when we are lucky to have them ). Their overall laws of equality for all of their citizens is so much stronger than here in the U.S. that We can learn much from them. As for this right wing screw ball I only say if somone says they are going to kill you it is folly to dismiss them as not sincere. In this instance it appears the government is enabled to protect its threatened citizens . . . so that in this case they do not have to take the law into their own hands. Hurrah for Canada – and they have great Geography to. These words of praise should not be confused with my ownl love of my special Country the good old U.S. of A. I will say we are coming off of about 20 years of the far right wing crowd dominating government but a giant page is about to be turned coming November.
