Tennessee detective's church sermon calls for execution of LGBTQ people

[yortsed snacilbuper]

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Knox County Attorney General's Office said it is looking into a church sermon by a Knox County Sheriff's detective that called for the government to arrest and execute LGBTQ community members.

In an hourlong video of the sermon online, Detective Grayson Fritts, also a pastor at All Scripture Baptist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, tells his congregation he believes federal, state and county governments should arrest, convict and "speedily" execute LGBTQ people on no more grounds than a cell phone photo showing participation in a Pride event.

1. How Christian.

Incredible view and opinion. How many "executions" does he have in his work history?

[Oneironaut]

4. It's very Christian. This is what their God wants.

Their God also condones slavery, genocide, rape, and stoning unchaste women. He’s petty, jealous, and enjoys executing people for arbitrary reasons.

5. Sorry. Those are qualities one can find in the old testament. Those are not the Christian

God...but Paul said there are gods, but also God. According to Jesus, you must love your neighbor as well as your enemy in order to be perfect, as God is. Sounds like God is pretty much love.

10. Isn't the God of the Old Testament the same as the New? N/t

[jmowreader]

11. God mellowed out quite a bit between the OT and the New

The OT God killed a lot of people, and there were a lot of reasons you could be killed.

The New Testament has far less killing.

14. God also summoned a couple bears to brutally massacre children for laughing at someone.

Sounds like a jerk to me!

8. He's also probably gay lol

2. 20 years in prison for hate crime.

That is what this POS deserves.

Advocating genocide is not free speech.

7. I agree. How much do you want to bet that this guy has some

serious skeletons in his closet. I would love it if someone got some dirt on him and exposed it to his congregation and then see how he changes his tune. Sick bastard!

3. It's only a matter of time ...

before he's arrested for inappropriate conduct with kids in his church.

People with extreme views like wanting someone dead obviously have a screw loose.

[Ilsa]

6. He must be part of the Reich looking for "purity"

and LGBTQ have the wrong genes. He thinks they are "defective", ergo he wants to exterminate them.

At least they might be accepting that being gay is genetic? He needs to be arrested for attempting to incite violence. He's no nicer than hitler. Yep, I went there.

9. This is not religion. This is hate.

Religion is how one lives his/her life. Hate is about what one group should inflict on another. This man is a damn fool who should not be allowed to work in law enforcement.

12. Y'know, it certainly seems to me...

...that if "one cell phone photo" is enough to have someone taken out back and shot, someone's going to start photoshopping a lot of homophobes into photos of Pride parades.

And Detective Grayson Fritts is not immune to this.

13. He needs to be fired.

There is no way that he can carry out the duties as he is sworn to do, while advocating mass arrest and speedy execution of people exercising their constitutional rights.
