Obviously this dude just needs to understand the bible is a metaphor.

Edit: Video was removed by youtube for violating their terms of service (probably hate speech).

You can read about it here:

Stedfast Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas is the place where Pastor Donnie Romero recently resigned after admitting to a night of doing drugs, gambling, and “being with prostitutes.”

His replacement was announced as Pastor Jonathan Shelley of Pure Words Baptist Church in Houston. He had his own set of problems (being an anti-vaxxer in addition to the expected anti-LGBTQ bigotry). But in a sermon delivered yesterday, Shelley went even further.

He insisted that rebellious children should be put to death because that’s what God commands in the Bible.

1. Is the superfluous use of the word "is" in the commentary

a statement of some sort?

Asking for a grammarian.

11. This one was perfect.

And I have shared it with others.

12. Some people never cease to amaze me.

'Hope springs eternal'?

[guillaumeb]

13. It does.

The alternative to hope is despair.

5. Do the parents have to kill their children themselves or can they hire that out?

Are there levels of rebellion that qualify for a reduced sentence?

[Major Nikon]

6. No, you have to take them to the village elders for stoning

And not the good kind of stoning.

7. Ah, they don't have to do themselves, the village elders provide that as a service to the parents...

Assuming that the villagers are the ones actually throwing the stones, do they get to do that for free or do the elders have a cover charge? If there are entrance fees, do the elders keep that or is it given to the parents to defray the costs of replacing the child?

8. Hey, if the Covington Catholic creeps can/should be stoned (rock wise, that is)

I'd buy a few stones to heave at them
