Steven Anderson is the Phoenix Pastor who recently asked his parishioners to pray that God would kill President Obama, by giving him brain cancer so that he would die like Senator Ted Kennedy.
Anderson has since followed this up with a radio interview in which he calls for gay people to be executed, and insists that the host of the show Michelangelo Signorile, must be molesting children because he is gay.
Anderson’s church website provides endless amusement in the form of transcripts of his sermons and essays.
Here are my Top Ten Kinky Quotes by Pastor Steven Anderson:
10. Pastor Anderson on perverted male gynecologists
“Because of years and years of looking at and touching scores of women inappropriately, the male gynecologist no doubt has a seared conscience and a perverted mind… Any doctor that looks upon and touches a woman’s private parts in his office “hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Sir, if you let your wife go to a male gynecologist, you need to get right with God.”
9. Pastor Anderson on the Beatles as God-hating communist devils
“If music without drums, syncopation, or a rock beat is acceptable music, then “Yesterday” by the Beatles would be suitable for a Christian. This song has no drums, syncopation, or rock n roll beat – so what’s wrong with it? It doesn’t talk about drugs, illicit behavior, or violence – so what’s wrong with it? What’s wrong with it is the source. It was written by God-hating communist devils. Rock n roll music was pioneered by ungodly sinners like Little Richard, a sodomite filthy animal, and Ray Charles, a heroin addict. The source of rock n roll music is ungodly.”
8. Pastor Anderson comparing Letterman and Leno unfavourably to Jesus
“God, please just help it to be real to us. Help us to realize that David Letterman and Jay Leno just aren’t that funny. The sitcoms and the TV shows and the movies just aren’t that cool. The rock music just isn’t that great anymore when we realize that there is a far greater purpose for our lives; to win souls to Jesus Christ.”
7. Pastor Anderson on sinful sports heroes
“Other Christians only use the television to watch sports, but are the typical athletic superstars of our day the role models we want for our children? Aside from the numerous beer commercials, not to mention the scantily clad cheerleaders at half-time, they are also being taught to idolize whoremongers like Coby Bryant and Michael Jordan, freaks like Dennis Rodman and Magic Johnson, and drug-users like Jose Canseco and Mark McGuire.”
6. Pastor Anderson on married sodomite perverts who molest children
“Every Sodomite in the Bible is a rapist or molester… 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… Just because a man is married and has children does not rule out the fact that he is a sodomite pervert. This is one reason why small children should not be left alone with a man that is outside their immediate family.”
5. Pastor Anderson on the evils of The Odd Couple
“Consider the show “The Odd Couple” from the 1960’s. Aside from sinful content, we are being exposed to an alternative lifestyle of two men living together as roommates. Genesis 2:24 tells us God’s normal plan, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Although neither man in the show is a homosexual, this show was obviously a forerunner of the sitcoms of today which feature homosexual characters.”
4. Pastor Anderson on Ellen Degeneres and other perverts
“I am not a fool. Don’t tell me that Sodom is not on the TV because it is. I mean, don’t tell me that there is a prime time show that doesn’t have these filthy sodomite queer characters, because it does. I remember when I was in high school. I was 17 years old. The show came out Ellen. Ellen, the first… was going to be the first lesbian sitcom. It was ripped off the air. That was in 1999. That was 1998 or whatever it was. They ripped it off the air. And they said, “No. People couldn’t handle it.” Twelve months later it was back on the air. And twelve months after that, every prime time show had sodomite characters. That’s how fast it happened.”
3. Pastor Anderson on the bunch of queers on the cooking channel
“You say, “Well, I don’t watch that stuff. I just watch the weather. I just watch the cooking channel.” Those guys cooking on the cooking channel are a bunch of queers. You know they are. “Oh, you know, I just throw in a little bit of this.” Good night. Be a man.”
2. Pastor Anderson on his desire to beat Christopher Lowell
“You say, “Oh, I just like…I just watch the home decorating show.” Oh, good night. What’s that guys name? This guy was on when I was a teenager. Christopher Lowell. And who has ever heard of that guy? Is that what his name is? I got the name right? Christopher Lowell. That gay little piece of trash. I would like to beat the fire out of him. Somebody needs to beat him with the ugly stick.”
1. Pastor Anderson comparing hell to being locked in a closet (Hmmmmm….)
“And this is what thought entered mind. I thought to myself… I looked over at the closet and I thought to myself, “What if I were locked in that closet for 100 years, nothing to do, nothing to see, the closet is dark.” … And then I thought, “What if you never get out of that closet.” That would be awful, wouldn’t it, just locked in a closet forever and you knew you were never going to get out.”

This guy is so fucked up!
I would laugh if it weren't for the fact that some nuts actually follow this guy.
i guess we don't have laws against hate speech or against incitement to violence or against uttering threats. Obama should declare this wacko a 'person of interest'
He denies he is inciting people to violence, but he clearly is. He calls it "spiritual warfare"

Actually, "Yesterday" does indeed have syncopation and a backbeat. It's just slow.
Perhaps if we could convince Anderson of that, he might realise that he is mistaken about the Bible as well?
This Anderson fellow is one to watch. He's hiding something. He's young now, but he has issues a lot deeper than most people suspect. Eventually, they'll erupt and he'll make a fool of himself, expose himself as a hypocrite.
That said, we probably shouldn't spend so much time on him. He's way too easy a target.
Fox thinks he's a crazy right wing loon!
If Obama doesn't die by the 2012 election can we take that as approval from God?
This guy has all the earmarks of Pastor Ted Haggard. But Ted has healed himself, right? What a laugh.
Anderson bears watching. I predict he'll fall and fall hard soon. Some little boy or a male prostitute will come forth and bring this asshole crashing down like the ton of shit he is. I hope (prayer doesn't work, so I'll use "hope") this happens and very soon.
Mikespeir and Twazzi, I agree. The quote where he compares being in hell to being locked in a closet could have been penned by a sitcom writer.
Last Hussar, I think the policy position here is that God always answers prayers, but sometimes the answer is no.
He's had his 15 minutes of fame, please just ignore him in the same manner you would ignore the guy with the twitch who talks to himself and smells bad on the train.
The man is CLEARLY gay – see the immense fear he has. It is common for those denying themselves to lash out. See; Larry Craig, Ted Haggart….
Come out, come out, wherever you are….
oy ve. It's sad that this guy has Christianity as one of his labels, but man he's screwed up. Having been raised in the church, i can laugh at all of this. Hard. Especially that last one. Being locked in the closet is hell? He'd know from personal experience, i guess. What he doesn't realize is that he can, indeed, come out of that closet. He doesn't HAVE to be locked in there for a century.
lol
Another goon misrepresenting Christianity.
This guy is a psychiatrist dream. All he needs to do is be brave, say the words and be cured forever –
'My name is Steven Anderson and I am a closet gay'
Okay, admittedly, I may hate gays, but I enjoy cooking, my married uncle is a chef and he and his extremely gorgeous wife live in the dominican republic (orsomewhere down there), so this guy is clearly fucked up. I honestly don't get why he hasn't been labelled a maniac and put on the news.
Surely he is an embarrasment to the Christian community? Scary thing is that even someone so obviously in need of medication can command a following. It is easy to brush him aside as some nutter but who knows what actions such a warped mind is capable of!
