The pastor who delivered the invocation at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R) second inauguration has said that gay people should be put to death.

Tom Ascol — senior pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida — made his comment on Twitter while criticizing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). On Monday, Cruz issued a tweet criticizing Uganda’s new “Anti-Homosexuality Act,” a law that punishes “aggravated homosexuality” with death.

Cruz’s tweet called the law “horrific & wrong,” adding, “Any law criminalizing homosexuality or imposing the death penalty for ‘aggravated homosexuality’ is grotesque & an abomination. ALL civilized nations should join together in condemning this human rights abuse.”

Ascol disagreed, writing on Tuesday, “Tell it to God, Ted.” » | Daniel Villarreal | Friday, June 2, 2023

This "dude" is supposed to be a 'man of the cloth'. But, to put it into disgusting American jargon, he's "kinda" ignorant and "kinda" stupid. He needs to go back to seminary (if he ever attended one) in order to re-learn the theology and lessons of true Christianity.

I've got news for this ignorant, cruel dude. Jesus never spoke of putting anyone to death. On the contrary, Jesus spoke of compassion and mercy, saying:
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. KJV: King James Version, John 8:7
You, Sir, are a disgrace! An embarrassment to the Christian world. – © Mark Alexander
