The love and tolerance of Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians never ceases to boggle my mind, not only do to the level of hatred that they spew so regularly, but also the manner in which they insist that some Old Testament piety codes be followed to the letter, while completely ignoring others in the same Biblical context.

The pastor of New Hope Baptist Church in Seneca, Kansas says President Barack Obama has gone too far in supporting same sex marriage and it’s time for the U.S. government to begin killing gay men and lesbians.

“Terrorists are dangerous, the economy is a real and present danger,” Pastor Curtis Knapp told his congregation on Sunday. “But there is simply nothing other than the holocaust of the unborn which imperils the safety of our country or places our people in jeopardy as does the leader of the Western world publicly raising his fist at the heavens and declaring that the bedrock institution of society, ordained of God and meant to be protected by the state, is little more than a convention of convenience with the children of Sodom to transform the meaning of something, which is precious to Jesus Christ, and a living picture of his love for the church into a legally protected justification for perversion and a vehicle of hatred aimed directly at that love.”

Knapp went on to read from Leviticus 20: “If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death.”

“They should be put to death,” Knapp declared. “‘Oh, so you’re saying we should go out and start killing them, no?’ — I’m saying the government should. They won’t, but they should.”… [emphasis added]

Please note that this is not intended to criticize Christians in any way.  Authentic Christians are the opposite of Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians, in that authentic Christians are Christian.

Leviticus also imposes the death penalty for eating shellfish (11:10) and cutting the hair from the temples (19:27).  Exodus demands the death penalty for working on Saturday (35:2).  Has Pastor Knapp done any of those, and if so, when will he be presenting himself for execution?

On the plus sides, Leviticus 25:44 permits owning slaves from neighboring countries, and I still want to own a Canadian!

To be clear, Supply-side Jesus is not the real Jesus.  The real Jesus taught love, inclusiveness, and care for the poor.  Supply-side Jesus is the invention of Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians to justify their false gospel of hate, bigotry, and care for the rich (greed).  Here’s an example of what I mean from Republican stalwart, Brian Fischer.

Over the last few weeks, Bryan Fischer has been growing increasingly vocal about his views that President Obama hates both the Constitution and the United States of America because he thinks it is "one big, giant Ku Klux Klan meeting" and is therefore intentionally trying to destroy the country.

And he made the case again on his radio program yesterday, this time adding in Attorney General Eric Holder, claiming that Holder will never "prosecute someone if the victim is white"…

Now those are some pretty extreme charges against Fischer, but don’t believe me.  Believe your own eyes and ears.

Needless to say, there is absolutely nothing true from one end of Fischer’s blasphemy to the other.  I call it blasphemy, because it is Antichristian.

Let me be clear that I am not attacking Christians here.  Supply-side Jesus is completely opposite to the Jesus that authentic Christians worship.  Supply-side Jesus was invented to justify the Republican false gospel of hate, greed and racism for Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians.  Many practitioners of this obscenity prey on their congregants and promise miracles, but when Supply-side Jesus can’t cut it, and there is no miracle, guess whose fault it is.

One of the most sad and telling claims of so-called ‘faith healers’ from Benny Hinn to Todd Bentley is that the reason people are not healed at their healing conferences or through their television ministries is not because the faith healer wasn’t able to cure the ailment or sickness but because of the lack of faith of the person (and often the inadequate size of their financial gifts) who sought the healing. If only the person had genuine faith, so it goes, then the healing would’ve worked, so don’t blame the healer!

Today on the 700 Club [Theocons delinked], we saw an example of that when a viewer called in wondering why it is that when he prayed with Pat Robertson during his show for a healing of his knee pain the pain came back the next day. Robertson responded that people can “give up” his healings because “you don’t believe that it’s real” and never claimed the healing, “this is mine.”… [emphasis added]

Here’s the video.

It does not take rocket science to figure out how connected Robertson is with God.  A few years back Disney World announced that they had discontinued their policy to discriminate against LGBT employees.  Robertson quickly prophesied that God had told him Orlando would be smitten with a hurricane in retribution for Disney World’s satanic policy.  The next hurricane to hit the US made landfall at Virginia Beach and damaged Robertson’s headquarters.  God must have a wonderful sense of humor.
