A Tennessee pastor on Sunday told his congregation that the number of mass shooting were escalating because of schools were government “mind-control centers” that taught “junk about evolution” and “how to be a homo.”
Old Paths Baptist Church Pastor Sam Morris began speaking about last week’s school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut by warning that “this sermon will not be pleasant.”
“We get all up in arms about 20 children being shot in a day care but we don’t give one good-glory rip about the 4,000 that were removed violently from the wombs of their mothers [in abortion procedures] the same day,” he explained. “I believe they use children and Christmas and all that to pull on our heart strings about gun control. That’s what it’s all about.”
Morris asserted that equal rights was a “sham” because it’s “equal immorality” and that authorities should take the body of the suspected shooter, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, “and string him up in public and set his body on fire and leave it out there to let the birds pick his bones.”
“We’re going to see more of this,” he continued. “Because notice, the first thing in America we start yelling about is gun control is gun control. Have you noticed that? Gun control. No one’s even thought about the fact that these shootings only happened at places where guns are banned. Have you noticed that? They have never had a mass shooting at a gun show, where you can find over a thousand loaded guns at one time.”
“Why do you still send your kids to the governmental schools?” the pastor asked the congregation. “What’s behind this shooting that we saw on Dec. 14 in Newtown, Connecticut and the other one’s like it? What’s going on. Well, number one, deception… I got news for you, when you kicked God out of schools, you’re going to be judged for that.”
Morris insisted that “humanism” in schools taught Lanza that he was God and “he can just go blow away anybody he wants.”
“When I got in high school, man, I started learning all this kingdom, phylum stuff, all this junk about evolution,” he recalled. “And I want to tell you what evolution teaches — here’s the bottom line — that you’re an animal. That’s what it teaches. So, you’re an animal, you can act like an animal. Amen.”
“So, here you are, you’re an animal and you’re a god! So, what are we going to teach you about in school? Well, we can teach you about sex, we can teach you how to rebel to you parents, we can teach you how to be a homo! But we’re definitely not going to teach you about the word of God! Amen.”
He added: “They think homeschoolers are a bunch of crazies, man. But I’m going to tell you something, I’ve never seen a police officer or a medal detector at a home school. Never. Amen. Now, there’s plenty of guns at my home school. Amen. I guarantee you we’re not going to have a mass shooting at any of the schools that are represented in this building today. I guarantee you, if there is a shooting, it won’t last very long. Amen.”
“I guarantee you there’s at least six or seven guns in this place right now. Amen.”
Morris confirmed to Raw Story on Monday that he had preached the sermon uploaded to SermonAudio.com but declined to answer any additional questions.
this may be stating the obvious, but notice it's only religious loonies making absurd and hateful comments right now. by all means, this is one more piece of evidence for Atheists to use. no "loving" God would allow something like this from happening. i'm sure many believers are struggling with this right now. yet you're not seeing articles about evil Atheists using this tragedy to exploit this obvious contradiction.
btw, this guy is completely nutso. amen.

So they want all of the 5 year olds to carry assaut rifles? Or their teachers? Then the schools will be "free"? Really?
You can be sure they don't teach homosexuality in the schools. Most people don't need someone to teach them. It just sort of happens, spontaneously, like the first steps that a baby chicken makes when it hatches, or the first steps of a baby deer. Or a duck learning to paddle. If someone's gay, they just are.
As for the solution to gun violence being more guns.... that's kind of like the solution to syphilis being more unprotected sex.
Anyway, it's starting to look like Lanza's mom was a gun obsessed survivalist who taught her son how to shoot. So maybe if she hadn't bought those guns and hadn't taught her son to shoot.... which is blaming one of the victims, but she was also part of the chain of events leading to this horrible situation.
Somehow I think if we make guns freely available to all of the mentally ill and gun obsessed people in society, it won't make the US a better place. I don't know why I think that. Just a feeling.
