That is an impressively literal reading of the Bible. Seems like he has trouble with the concept of parable.

That's a bit low on the list of that clown's problems...

And now there is another reason to never go to Illinois, besides their gun control ignorance.  Are they getting a big migration of some of our worst?  Will that make Oklahoma a smarter place?

I'm thinking that since we get about the most tornadoes, then that must mean we have a larger proportion of gay people....except so many I have known have moved out of state....  what is going on in the world?  Oh, wait,....I know....it's RWRE extremism hard at work in the heartland!

The interesting debate would be if he can be charged with inciting violence.  If the KKK were to say "the bible says black people should be hanged, we should do what the Bible says," they would be charged with inciting violence.  Same if religion was used as an excuse to incite violence against Jews.

But a Christian saying we should murder gay people, then there is a question if he committed a crime (potential criminal act > his 1st amendment right).  Generally, your right to free speech stops when you advocate criminally revoking someone else's rights.  Murder, for instance.

A 2 minute research:  it appears you can try to get a crowd to lynch people in Oklahoma unless the person against whom you are encouraging violenece is based on race, religion or ethnic origin.  Political beliefs, sexual orientation., or anything else either isn't protected under state law - PR is pigeoned toed under some other law.

Hard to believe "you should kill group X or you will go to hell" is protected speech.  It calls for violenece, not a statement of belief.

Better likelihood of it if he were white.  At least there would be more of an outrage.

Consider how Al $harpton and Je$$e Jacka$$ can get away with hurling all sorts of epithets toward Jews and white people without anyone so much as batting an eyelash.

To be clear, insults, slurs and epithets should NEVER be criminalized.  Only a call to cause violence to another which is not hyperbole and has a likelihood of fruition.  Jesse Jackson can calle whatever name he wants, when he encourages others to harm me... he crosses the line.

So the question is, really, can you hide behind religion while encouraging people to murder someone?

I don't know of Reverend Sharpton hurling epithet(S) towards whites and Jews.  He may pi$$ off some people because of positions that he takes that differ from his detractors, but such actions don't constitute racial name calling.  There would certainly be outrage if he did so, because there is outrage expressed towards him by his enemies over any comments he makes.
