(This post is a continuation of a discussion called “The Bible According to Steve,” and deals with the unusual preachments of one Steven Anderson, pastor of the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Arizona.)
When I last posted, the subject under discussion was piss – or, more precisely, how to piss in the manliest fashion possible.
Anderson’s preoccupation with how other men use their GENITALS extends well outside the bathroom, however, in that he’s spent a lot of time thinking about…um…sodomy – which presumably involves certain GENITALIA, not that I’d know about that sort of thing.
His take on sexual orientation is unique even among fundies, and it makes me wonder just how strong the dark side is with this one.
His first libelous volley against teh ebil gayz is pretty standard fundie fare. *Observe:
What comes next, however, is so bizarre that even Steve’s fellow fundies might have a hard time believing it:
So, we’ve learned thus far that…
…homosexuals are actually bisexual, all of them
…homosexuals are always male, hence the good pastor’s warning directed only against leaving young children alone with men from outside the immediate family
…homosexuals are always pedophiles
…heterosexuals probably don’t engage in sodomy, unless they’re secretly pedophile-bi-homos
If you’re gay, however, don’t worry; you’re not alone in being the target of the pissing pastor’s ire. **He also hates male gynecologists and thinks they – all of them, to the last man - are perverts. (And yet he thinks it’s “unscriptural” for women to work. That could turn out to be quite the catch-22 if his wife or daughters develop cancer in or near their GENITALS.)
I think it’s fair to suggest Anderson begins with a conclusion based on his own prejudices and quote-mines the Bible to back up his ramblings. In context, out of context - exegesis, eisegesis – doesn’t matter. It’s all the same to him.
He thinks GENITALS are icky, and so they shall be icky for every member of his church.
Now, there are other fundies who blatantly do likewise, but very few of them would admit to idolatry: ***Steve believes – I shittith you not – that the KJV Bible is not only the word of God, but a physical, tangible manifestation of same.
Thus speaketh the Dumbass:
KJV Onlyism isn’t that rare, alas, but this permutation of it is unusual even among fundies. His ranting was so histrionic and delusional that other fundies not only rejected his view but eventually kicked him off a few of their boards – presumably for heresy.
Either that, or spamming, or perhaps they were disturbed by his unusual preoccupation with others’ GENITALS and didn’t like the idea of having to number-one at the urinal just before going number-two in the stall simply to be considered manly men.
(Wait 'til you find out what he thinks of regular doctors.)

The filthy animals then proceed to rape and abuse the woman until she is dead. This third example confirms that every Sodomite mentioned in the Bible is a rapist. This is why God instituted the death penalty for Sodomites. He knows that they are predators and should be kept away from society and especially children.
What comes next, however, is so bizarre that even Steve’s fellow fundies might have a hard time believing it:
A common misconception is that homosexuals are only attracted to and only prey on men. It is clearly seen in the Bible that homosexuals are perverted in other ways and are always bisexual.
….This is one reason why small children should not be left alone with a man that is outside their immediate family. Little girls should also not be left alone with a man outside their immediate family because they are not immune to being victimized by a Sodomite.
