UPDATE: According to The IndyChannel RTV6, the church is the Apostolic Truth Tabernacle in Greensburg, Indiana. The Rev. Jeff Sangl, the pastor, founded the church in 1997 with his wife. It is located at 1114 W. Westridge Parkway.
This is sad and sick. A tiny tot stands up at the mic at church and sings a little ditty about the bible and how homos aren’t going to heaven. Note that the congregation jumps up and cheers at the bigotry spewed from the innocent little angel’s lips.
“The Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong. The Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong. Romans one, twenty six and twenty seven; Ain’t no homos gonna make it to Heaven.”
Steve Williams at Care2 nails it:
Given that LGBT people are so often maligned by the accusation that they are out to recruit children, this video is especially abhorrent. Other commentators have labelled this a form of child abuse. Indeed, the child, who appears to be about four or five, will have no idea of the meaning behind the clobber passages he is referencing. As such, he has been trotted out to perform like a parrot, stripping him of all dignity. That he has so obviously been taught this song by some opportunistic adults, who will almost certainly profess to be Christian, is twice as damning of them and this particular, ugly brand of so-called Christianity that seems to celebrate its labelling of others as sinners and rejoices in the notion of them receiving eternal damnation.
This comes after a number of scandals, one involving an evangelical pastor advocating what amounts to child abuse to stop kids being gay and another pastor saying gay and lesbian people should be put in internment camps.

Speaking of the Pastor Charles Worley, the fool referred to above who wanted to put gays and lesbians in a pen with an electrified fence, he’s attained faux celebrity status — someone has set up a phony Twitter account for the good Rev (@CharlesWorleyNC) and launched a series of hilarious Tweets yesterday. A sample:
Ah, the blogmistress’s lot in life — “Rev. Worley” decided to shower some love on me as well, giving me grief for my eternal love for the rock band Journey.
Of course it pleases me to no end that Journey love is SO GAY, pastor; I really thought that was reserved for disco or house music, but maybe Rev. Worley doesn’t get out much. Probably not a lot of homo clubbing going on near Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, NC. My guess is that Worley is probably more of the interstate rest stop kind of guy.

You have to be taught
Before it’s too late
Before you are six
Or seven or eight
To hate all the people
Your relatives hate
You have to be carefully taught …
aww kids say the darndest things . . .
My VA friend is right, hate is taught at an early age.
I certainly didn’t watch the video, and my response is that, increasingly, there is a part of our population that I am really losing patience with.
where did this happen ?
snake handling Christian or Taliban what is the difference ?
if there is a God it is high time he shows his face
Instead, send the urchins to tolerant Boston where they can observe fisticuffs over parking slots, and learn, and remember, over and over again.
Then the virus can be passed along to the next generation.
Men (in all their 50′s redux glory) seem to be on the left side of the aisle, women and children on the right. What state is this?
Looks like the state of oppression, repression and control to me.
Can’t see the video…message after clicking says it’s “private.”
Wait until the Catholic Church goes full bore … they’ve just issued notice similar to the one against John Kerry in 2004.
If this were a low budget horror flick, it would be sick. The fact that it is real is incredibly sick.
Obviously, it has done no good to call out these creeps to be judged by the public at large. The only answer I can think of is to call out the Christian Church, all denominations across the board, to clean house. The decent congregations have a greater stake in this than anyone. That is, if there is such a thing as a decent congregation. Anyone claiming to be a “Christian” is starting to make me want to spit up.
They don’t even know why enrollment in religion is falling off a cliff!
They don’t open-minded and tolerant people.
Indoctrination is their schitck. That’s why they keep accusing others of doing it. So they can keep their twisted brainwashing of the young going.
Same with the whole magical genie in the sky who grants wishes.
Typo: Meant they don’t WANT open-minded and tolerant people.
Also, in addition to above,
The foundation of emotional development, 50% by 2 years of age, and 80% by 6 years of age. Thus the profound life-long damage from abuse, neglect, poverty, … if done early. Thus the benefits of a safe, secure, caring, loving home. Catch them early and you have them. Teach them to hate at an early age, and you have them. Most will never change from this emotional level. And the repetitive indoctrination of hate is how you cement that foundation.
