Pastor Anderson of the Faithful Word Baptist Church.
Preacher of Hate.
Preacher of Hate.
Preacher of Hate, Pastor Steven Anderson, has had his YouTube channels taken down. Readers may remember Pastor Steven Anderson, whom I wrote about a little over a year ago when he was banned from entering the Republic of Ireland following a petition to the then Irish Minister for Justice and Equality, Charlie Flanagan.
This ban came shortly after the ROI had voted massively to legalise same-sex marriages and then to decriminalise abortions. Anderson is now banned from some 34 countries, including New Zealand, South Africa, Republic of Ireland, UK, all the Schengen group of European Union countries, Botswana, Canada and Jamaica.
Shortly after my post, Anderson's Twitter account, which he had denied had any connection with him and his church, was taken down when he started posting hate messages and incitements to violence, calling for the killing of homosexuals. Now, following a campaign by Hemant Mehta, all of Anderson's YouTube channels have also been shut down.
Following the deletion of his main account, he had set up a Byzantine network of accounts which made no mention of his Arizona-based Faithful Word Baptist Church. Sermons preached in this church and distributed via YouTube for his followers to promote, had provided the vehicle for his hate messages in which he celebrated the murder of homosexuals in Orlando, Florida, called for homosexuals to be executed by firing squad, denied the Holocaust, preached misogyny and spread misinformation about Covid-19, urging his followers to refuse any eventual vaccine. It may have been the Covid-19 misinformation that led YouTube to take his channel down rather than the rest of his hate messages.
In fact, like the Westboro Baptists of a few years ago, Pastor Anderson was showing the world the brutal Medieval obscenity that fundamentalist Christianity would be if we hadn't managed to civilise it with some decent Humanist values following the European Enlightenment. Pastor Steven Anderson epitomises the saying, "Religion provides excuses for people who need excuses".
The fatal flaw in Anderson's plan to get round the ban was that he needed to tell his followers where they could find online videos of his sermons, so he posted links to them on his church's website archive. So, Heman Mehta was able to trace and report every one.
So, enjoy this tantrum. It probably won't be available for very long.
