Pastor calls to imprison gays for ‘ten years hard labor’ with new constitutional amendment

Three points (and there are more) to consider whilst reading:

1. The last time we had an amendment to legislate morality was prohibition; we all know how weal that worked.
2. The Constitution is a document that guarantees freedoms and rights to be protected for all. It is not a means to oppress and deny rights. If you believe otherwise then your living in the wrong country.
3. I find it ironic that Williams wants to use a secular mechanism to enact his interpretation of a biblical law.

A pastor who uses his Internet platform to teach political lessons based on conservative Christian ideology has proposed a constitutional amendment to punish LGBT people for “ten years in prison at hard labor.”

In a video posted to his PreachingPolitics.com website last month that was flagged by the Good As You blog on Monday, Pastor Michael V. Williams asserts that Christians have been “increasingly tolerant” of gay people over the last 50 years.

“Whereas homosexuality used to be a felony in every state — referred to as sodomy — it has now been decriminalized, and homosexuality is allowed to be openly expressed in public,” he notes. “While Christians are becoming increasingly tolerant of homosexuals, homosexuals are becoming increasingly intolerant of us.”

“It’s time for Christians to resume obeying God and his word, and to re-criminalize homosexuality, outlaw it again,” the pastor continues. “The only way to do this and keep it beyond the reach of activist judges and unaccountable bureaucrats is to create a constitutional amendment.”
