Believe it or not, a Christian pastor in Massachusetts is facing a federal lawsuit for crimes against humanity for embracing a Biblical view on sexuality!
The pastor, Scott Lively, is being targeted by Sexual Minorities Uganda – easy to remember by its acronym, SMUG – based on a missions trip he made to the African nation in 2009.
Speaking of smug, leftist billionaire George Soros is representing the organization through his own Center for Constitutional Rights.
During his visit, Lively spoke about homosexuality in a Biblical context and, around the same time, Uganda’s leaders considered a bill that would make homosexuality an offense punishable by death.
No one seems to be suggesting Lively actively participated in any of the discussion among the nation’s rulers, though the militant homosexual lobby doesn’t need to establish causation in order to vilify those with whom they disagree.
“We want him held accountable for the escalating homophobia and persecution in Uganda,” a SMUG spokesperson said.
The foreign group is able to file a lawsuit in America, against an American citizen, under the Alien Tort Statute. Soros became involved, according to Liberty Council Founder Mathew Staver, to further his own agenda.
CCR wants “to silence the speech of Christians,” he said, including “people who are pro-family and people whose views they disagree with.”
Staver said this suit could have chilling implications for future missions work by conservative Christians.
“If this case is not dismissed, we will be having an American pastor that lives in the United States on trial for alleged crimes against humanity,” he said. “This suit should cause everyone to be concerned because it is a direct threat against freedom of speech.”
Staver said he wants to hold CCR responsible for filing an unjustified suit.
He explained that lawyers are using a “vague international law to silence – and eventually criminalize – speech by U.S. citizens on homosexuality and moral issues.” The incident reveals the group’s intention to “establish new precedent” that would “override our Constitutional freedoms,” he added.
I have never heard of a legitimate Christian pastor calling for the death of a homosexual, and I am absolutely sick of the left’s constant misrepresentation of my faith’s belief.
Rather than hatred and retribution, two reactions common among the humanist left, the overwhelming majority of Christians want nothing more than to lead those living in sin – be it homosexuality or otherwise – to a loving and forgiving God.

It is high time we tell our ‘Un-Christian’ idiots in government and elsewhere to mind their own business, as they neglect important issue daily, and if that does not work we need to procede with introducing this issue where the ‘Sun dosnt shine’! Our government is violating the constitution every time they attempt to dictate religous policy!
…piss off sosos….piss off smug, smut, and all the rest of you mini dick+taters…love, grandma
The pastor is within his rights to speak the truth. The bible is the truth and always has been. People don’t want to hear that what they do is a sin. Homosexual behavior is a sin. God called it an “abomination”. I am sick and tired of the low lives who work to tear down our morality and turn everything upside down. When gays marry, they are still sinning. Marriage doesn’t save the gays. It just makes them look stupider than they are. We are all sinners so I don’t hate gays but I do hate the gay agenda and the way it is ruining America.
And here I thought there were no Gay Muslims. Wrong again!
All of the end time prophecies concerning Christians being persecuted, for their faith or whatever reason the enemies of God can think up, are coming to fruition. For the true, Bible believing, God fearing Christian, it’s just further proof of the existence of the Lord. But the enemies of God see this as some sort of victory, that they’ve somehow got the upper hand. They don’t have a clue as to what Scripture says about them, that this just brings them that much closer to their day of judgement. There truly are none so blind as those who refuse to see, and none so helplessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.
The day is fast approaching when Christians & Patriots (the two are almost synonymous with each other) will have had enough, and the Lord will also. God will soon say, “It is finished!!” and his mighty Angels, led by the Lord Jesus Christ, will come down from Heaven and his children will meet with him in the air. We shall then reign with him forever more and the enemies of God will be brought low. Amen, Father, and come Lord, come quickly!!
Warning: Being a Homosexual is Dangerous to your Eternity, Revelations 21 : 8 = 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars —they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Believe or continue on the Road to the Lake of Fire to be Destroyed.
Where was SMUG and the rest of American homosexuals when black people were being killed by the millions in Uganda. They didn’t say anything or publicly object to that! I guess it’s okay to kill straight people. L. K. Williams author of One Test One Identity: onetestoneidentity.com
Do you suppose that Geo Soros hates God. I heard that He turned in Jews in Germany and took their possessions as a reward. Why did Simon Wiesenthal leave a big pig POS like Soros alive?
And why have present time Jews allowed this Evil Man to Live?
Is It because he is a Jew and is special? Are they just unable to do it? Would it be more Difficult that “Raid on Entebbe?”
Sodomites, please leave the USA and move to Sodom and Gomorrah. Thank You.
