Yet another batshit right-winger imagines that the opinions in his head supplant the law of the land.
From the article:
"Death Penalty for Gays" Literature at Right-Wing Conference
Right-Wing Watch story hereYet another batshit right-winger imagines that the opinions in his head supplant the law of the land.
From the article:
In the pamphlet, Is The Death Penalty Just?, Kayser unsurprisingly concludes that the death penalty is in fact just, and lists homosexuality among the offenses deserving of capital punishment. Ironically for a "religious liberties" summit, he also claims that the government should treat "breaking the Sabbath," "blasphemy and cursing God publicly," "publicly sacrificing to other gods" and "apostasy" as death penalty crimes as well.
He writes that government officials are "subject to Biblical statutes and judgments," claiming that "Christians should advocate the full implementation of all God's civil penalties in every age.... Every Old Testament statue continues on the books, and without those statutes, we could not have a consistent ethnical standard." Even "pagan" nations are obliged to follow biblical law, he writes, as "God held gentile kings accountable to these civil laws."
