(Source) "Muslims worship Satan by the name of Allah." (Source) "Q: Can a good Muslim be a good American? A: Absolutely not. The answer is that to be a good Muslim, you must believe and practice the Qur’an which commands Muslims not only to hate Americans and their constitution, but to kill Americans (infidels) and destroy their constitution by replacing it with sharia (Islamic law), the command of Allah in the Qur’an and the command of Mohammed in the Hadith."

  "There were many in the Corinthian church that used to be homosexual offenders, but through the power of the gospel they changed.

(In other words, gay people can change and be saved) Source "God did not cause your lung to collapse, your smoking did. You reaped what you sowed. The fact that God warned you to stop smoking shows that God was trying to protect your from becoming sick." Source "Consider the high suicide rate among the trans community. Tragically, 41% of transgender people have attempted suicide, and it is not because of societal rejection, but, rather, their own inner demons, psychological illness and confused identity." Source

• Verity Baptist Church
  "We believe that sodomy (homosexuality) is a sin and an abomination before God which God punishes with the death penalty." (Source) "We believe that abortion is murder and oppose all forms of birth control that end life after conception (fertilization).(Source) "And here’s what you need to understand. There are certain sins that are not normal sins. Look, normal people do not desire these unnatural sins. And in fact, it’s not just homosexuality. It’s not just the sin of sodomy. You can go back to Leviticus 18, and we will. You can go back to Leviticus 18 and you can look at different sins that are mentioned there. That are abominations. And you can look at sins like incest and sodomy and beastiality. We throw in there pedophilia...These people are predators. They are rapists. These people are given over to a conscience seared mind. And they will hurt you. They will hurt your children. " (From Make America Straight Again Conference transcript)
