Pastor Steven Anderson, an alleged man of God, doesn't sound like one.
He's a variation of Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Both preach some truly horrible stuff.
From KSAZ-FOX 10 News:
Anderson is standing by his controversial sermon, entitled "Why I Hate Barack Obama."
...Sunday at church, Anderson told FOX 10, "I hope that God strikes Barack Obama with brain cancer so he can die like Ted Kennedy and I hope it happens today."
Anderson is continuing to encourage his parishioners to pray for the president's death, but says he doesn't condone killing.
"I will not take the law into my own hands. I will not take up any arms. It's a spiritual battle, spiritual warfare."
...Anderson says his sermon about wanting Obama to die was not meant to rile people up. "If anything, I was talking him down," he said, "Not riling him up."
Pastor Anderson says his hatred of Obama and former president Bush stems from his views on abortion and the Iraq War.
"Look up the word hate. Look up the word abhor, the word loathe. You'll see there are a lot of people that God hates, and so we should hate. But see, I didn't write that, that's in the Bible."
Anderson reminds me a lot of Jeremiah Wright, preaching hate.
It's absolutely sick that Anderson would pray for Obama to die and encourage his congregation to do the same.
No decent person would be a member of Anderson's church and listen to that sort of preaching.
Period.
Anderson should be delivering his sermons on an empty street corner, mumbling to himself, not to a room full of churchgoers.
If I were at Mass and my parish priest said, "I hope that God strikes Barack Obama with brain cancer so he can die like Ted Kennedy and I hope it happens today," I would not sit quietly and accept that. I would contact the archdiocese and take appropriate measures to work to have that priest replaced if possible.
Under no circumstances would I attend a Mass with that individual as the presider.
Yes, I pray that Obama finds it in his heart to respect and protect the lives of the unborn. There's no way that I would ever pray for Obama to become ill and die. No way.
Watch Anderson's sermon.

Steve IS WORTHY OF THE TITLE PASTOR
HITLER, KKK MAYBE BUT NOT PASTOR
This man is mentally ill. He is not a man of God. The scripture he claims to understand is not in his heart. "If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless" James 1:26.
There is something very wrong with him. Some sickness that compels him to outrageous behavior in almost all of his dealings. His wife calls people she doesn't know "predator's" and "sick freaks", "trashy single moms". Anderson accosts officers at Pizza Hut and the SkyHarbor Airport, all on some quest to get some need met in his life that has been seriously neglected. He has behaved badly in so many ways... the least of which was his antics with the Border Patrol. His web of deception is closing in on him. Yet, like an addict, he seems unable to stop himself.
I am no suporter of Obama, but I would never even consider praying for his death. No man has the moral right to do so.
I am a Christian and this man does not represent anyone but the most extremes of the fringe. There is nothing Christ-like about his behavior.
Our country is in peril, but stunts like this will do nothing to hasten a return to sanity. It only ramps up the rhetoric on both sides.
Very sad.............
Steven Anderson is like our very own home grown Taliban. Maybe people will start to understand that just because you do it in the name of Christianity doesnt make it right...just like how the taliban doesnt represent the true beliefs of Islam. They should lock steven anderson and osama bin laden up in a cell together and throw away the key.
I think the main problem is that he is pretty much stuck in the Old Covenant and Old Testament...
