    Extremist pastor Mark Robinson wants to be North Carolina’s next governor, and his vision for the country is one of bloody ruthlessness.

    “Some folks need killing!” Robinson declared in a lengthy sermon delivered on Sunday, which was first reported by The New Republic. “It’s time for somebody to say it. It’s not a matter of vengeance. It’s not a matter of being mean or spiteful. It’s a matter of necessity! When you have wicked people doing wicked things, torturing and murdering and raping. It’s time to call out, uh, those guys in green and go have them handled. Or those boys in blue and have them go handle it.”

    Jesus fucking Christ he’s supposed to be a pastor and he’s giving a sermon advocating killing people.

    The idiocy of evangelicals is just so thick.

      You can disagree with him, but having the opinion that people who are “torturing and murdering and raping” need to die is not an unhinged opinion. I would say that many of them dying would be a just punishment.

      I listened to an interview on the Friendly Atheist podcast with two hate-preachers. They both advocated for the killing of homosexuals. I don’t think it’s as rare as we might hope.

        My very first thought when I read that is he’s advocating for killing LGBQT+ people. They are wicked in their minds. Unnatural. Have been killing them for probably centuries as it is already. Maybe millennia.
