Asshole.

And yet xtians wonder why their numbers are down and continuing to fall. Haters like Urbanek are driving their flocks into the welcoming arms of nones and atheists.

Joe King's avatar

I start out wondering just what the fuck happened to this guy to become so twisted and void of empathy. Then I remember that he and others like him are just sadistic monsters latching onto the vilest form of Christianity to justify the glee they take in the suffering of others.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Anybody want to wager this guy is a headline waiting to happen?

Troublesh00ter's avatar

After the Ted Haggard School of headlines.

NOGODZ20's avatar

How many homophobic xtian conmen wind up getting busted for diddling kids?

Troublesh00ter's avatar

In two words: 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗘𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛!!!

cdbunch's avatar

Not enough get busted. Too many are diddling kids.

Marycat2021's avatar

How many priests have there been, over the centuries? Only the Vatican knows.

cdbunch's avatar

Too many. (Of course, one is too many)

"The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind."

Or blowing at the truck stop restroom.

cdbunch's avatar

Where are these truck stops? The ones I go into, everybody's just eliminating waste. No one's having hot sex.

Guerillasurgeon's avatar

I guess we both missing out then, because AFAIK we don't actually have truck stops.😁

cdbunch's avatar

I assume he's a black widow and kills them afterward.

jomicur's avatar

Kills...and probably eats.

Troublesh00ter's avatar

Can't help but notice that the video has been taken down "for violating YouTube's terms of service." YouTube is slow a lot of the time, and they screw up a LOT, but this time, they got it right. This brand of unvarnished and undisguised hatred has no place in our culture. That there are people who actually feed on such rhetoric is at best disturbing to me, if not terrifying.

At the risk of bringing up a touchy term these days, this manner of inflammatory speech is the kind that provokes the type of stochastic terrorism the US has seen too much of lately. Urbanek deserves to be confronted about this. The sad fact is that it's unlikely that anyone from his congregation will do so.

Hah - is it possible? Sometimes reporting actually *works?* A minute but satisfying victory *waves imaginary asshole-skewer *

1 down, tripzillion festering shitvideos to go....

I know it's utterly pointless, but reported this garbage. Sickening, how much of this filth is on social media for mouth-breathers to batten onto... * sigh

Charlie's avatar

It baffles me that there are people who think that spending eternity with a vile, pathertic, digusting person like this constitutes a reward.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Hitler is in heaven. Can you imagine being one of his Jewish victims and told you were being sent to hell for not taking Jesus as your savior?

What kind of fucked up religion is THAT?

Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz's avatar

Not according to the documentary I saw. I believe it involved pineapple.

cdbunch's avatar

You didn't mention the maid's uniform.

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

Pineapple, tomato, potato and bell peppers with thai chili sauce 🤤

You are a very sick woman. Get help.

Tu ne sais pas ce que tu perds, tant mieux more for me 😁

StochasticTerrorist's avatar

Sounds like the thai chili sauce might give enough umami to carry the potato.

StochasticTerrorist's avatar

You're in Heaven.

What SHOULD you care?

That's part of The Deal in The Creator's Ant Farm.

Zorginipsoundsor's avatar

Which is why if gawd exists, we atheist are going to heaven. After all, what could be a worse punishment for us than to spend eternity with this guy and his ilk.

NOGODZ20's avatar

A prime example of "The Religion of Love."

Urbanek hates gay people. All gay people, even though Christianity has LGBTQs in its ranks (though god knows why, pun unintended). According to 1 John 4:20, any believer who claims to love god yet hates a fellow believer is a liar.

cdbunch's avatar

If looking at a woman with lust is committing adultery in your heart, then praying for the death of people who have done you no harm is surely murder.

Guerillasurgeon's avatar

Surely it's not murder to rid the world of those that the Lord hates – and vice versa.

cdbunch's avatar

It's between them and God. Mind your own damn business.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Wanna wish death on pedophiles, Urbanek?

Were your god real, it would decimate the ranks of the Christian clergy.

StochasticTerrorist's avatar

Almost any organization can survive a 10% Reduction in Force.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Catholic parishes where I live are having to merge due to both a shortage of priests and a drastic fall-off in attendance.

As Montgomery Burns would say: "Eeeeexcellent!"

cdbunch's avatar

Have you ever worked in IT? Every shop I've worked in in the last 27 years was at least 20% understaffed. IT needs a union.

Val Uptuous NotAgain's avatar

Same goes for retail and food service. Corporations sop is to understaff for maximizing profits.

Len Koz's avatar

My ex-boss also admitted that management thought overworking people was the best way to get those same people to be efficient.

cdbunch's avatar

And employers wonder why there's no loyalty from employees.

StochasticTerrorist's avatar

The IT I've been forced to live with has all been 'home grown', so a 20% purge followed by a 10% restocking with professionally trained personnel would be a buddha-send.

It's the reason I was a far more competent VBA programmer compared to the 'experts' who didn't know how to put a relational database into even 1st Normal Form, much less create a whole Client Server app using a professional development lifecycle.

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

I hope he will die a painful death by a cardiac arrest and before that a taste of hell on Earth by having a quadruple bypass surgery and following a diet without his favorite food.

*Big hug to cdbunch*

cdbunch's avatar

Yeah, my cardiologist is a bit annoyed I won't follow the diet. She's also appalled at my Diet Pepsi intake. (Some days, I think the bottling plant would have massive layoffs if I switched to Diet Coke)

Zorginipsoundsor's avatar

Which sad to say was formulated to taste like Pepsi. 🤢

NOGODZ20's avatar

Looks like they took the Pepsi Challenge.

Guerillasurgeon's avatar

"following a diet without his favorite food." That's very French. 😁

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

I didn't know Bill Clinton's doctors were from my country 🤔

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

Bypass surgery a few years back, he had to follow a healthy vegetarian then vegan diet to keep his cholesterol level low. Good bye red meat and gravy.

Romans 1 is a preamble to Romans 2, whose message is "...and because God will do all these things to the bad people, YOU don't need to punish or judge them. So don't do that."

Though to be fair, the author kinda buried the lede here. A reader would have to be reading for content and not cherry picking in order to get the message the author is trying to communicate.

Joe King's avatar

Cherry picking is their favorite sport.

Zorginipsoundsor's avatar

I love the way they 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 ignore the fact that since they didn't kiss gawd's ass the way he wanted it kissed, he forced them to do naughty things. Things they weren't even doing before gawd had a hissy fit.

StochasticTerrorist's avatar

'Fix' people?

This is a creator who thought up horizontal gene transfer, which makes everything worse for humans trying to survive bacterial diseases and makes things easier for the bacteria?

Are we SURE he isn't The Lord of the Bacteria?

Also, wonder why 'homos' don't disappear after the first few hundred generations of no procreation by them under godly conditions? Seems like 'homo' is one of the least likely traits to propagate itself. Unless, perhaps, the creation of humans was a botch job, like The Flood kinda suggests happens FAR too often, especially for the innocent children and foetuses murdered.

cdbunch's avatar

I suspect because having childless aunts and uncles helped the gene line survive, especially when life expectancies were low.

Or there was the hypothesis I read that suggested the same genes that cause homosexuality in men caused increased fertility in women. (Interesting how all the hypotheses are about how men become gay, no one seems to worry about what makes a lesbian)

Len Koz's avatar

The bible likes lesbians. It says no man on man, no man on animal, no woman on animal, no man on his mom or sister, no nookie while the woman has her period, no man on his aunt, either dad's side or mom's side, no man on sis-in-law, but it doesn't say a damn thing about woman on woman. That's because the guys who wrote it and had multiple wives and concubines wanted to see a little girl/girl action at times.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Maybe because the misogynistic Christian book and religion treat women inferior to men and as less than cattle; treats them as property.

For what it's worth, Romans 1:26 says "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones." Of course, given the nature of the bible, that might not even mean lesbianism. It might very well be a veiled reference to having many lovers, lovers of both genders or even bestiality.

cdbunch's avatar

Or it might just mean they practiced the loophole. (I don't feel like trying to find the youtube link on my work computer)

Joan the Dork's avatar

That's okay! I'm home sick and have nothing better to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8ZF_R_j0OY

NOGODZ20's avatar

That's OK. Everyone here is familiar with it.

Marycat2021's avatar

Or masturbation, which Christianity still says is a sin.

cdbunch's avatar

Of course, it supports their claim that everyone is a sinner. I don't have exact numbers, but I doubt less than 0.000001% of men have never masturbated. And they're so fucked up, God only knows what horrors they've commited.

NOGODZ20's avatar

The bible never mentions masturbation specifically.

It's funny to watch Christians try and answer the question of how to...um, "handle" jacking off.

Marycat2021's avatar

No. Women were married off to men who raped them.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Hey, as long as daddy got 50 silver shekels out of the deal it's totes OK, right? :S

cdbunch's avatar

He struck down Onan for *not* having sex with his sister-in-law. So he was apparently ambivalent about that.

Len Koz's avatar

Yet another contradiction in Yahweh's allegedly infallible word. Though if I remember correctly, Onan's "sin" was that he pulled out because he didn't want to have a baby with her.

cdbunch's avatar

I still say it was rape, she consented under false pretenses.

StochasticTerrorist's avatar

Don't know, exactly, but was Onan before or after the 'appropriate' commandments, because up until then there was a mulligan given so Creation could be populated.

That's according to the commentary in at least one of my 'teaching' Torah copies.

NOGODZ20's avatar

Onan is a character found in Genesis, so he was before Exodus and the "Commandments."

Zorginipsoundsor's avatar

"That's because the guys who wrote it and had multiple wives and concubines wanted to see a little girl/girl action at times."

That was their favorite halftime show between being fruitful with their wives and/or concubines.

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

Because lesbians doesn't exist, it's just spinsters who didn't find their Mr right 🙄

Thank you Lenkoz.

Joan the Dork's avatar

It's always funny to watch straightwashers make pretzels out of their tiny little brains trying to convince themselves that LGBTQ people haven't always been around.

StochasticTerrorist's avatar

Inhabitants of Lesbos may disagree.

cdbunch's avatar

People keep telling me I should quit looking for Mr. Right and settle for Mr. Right-now. But Disney gave me all kinds of impractical ideas of romance.

Black Hole and DM mourner's avatar

Your happiness is your own, it's nobody business.

Marycat2021's avatar

It's because women, gay or straight, could be raped. Religion is social order, and impregnating women any way possible ensured that there would be children.

StochasticTerrorist's avatar

But, but, The Creator could have fixed that, too?!

I guess The Creator was a big fan of Spaghetti Code.

cdbunch's avatar

It would explain a lot. Especially the GOTOs to nowhere.

Joan the Dork's avatar

What other kind of code would the most holy creator of all things, delicious be his meatballs, favor?

Zorginipsoundsor's avatar

IIRC, the current theory is that there is no "gay" gene. Homosexuality occurs because of conditions in the womb.

cdbunch's avatar

One of many theories. Since no one has found a gay *gene* (as opposed to genes), they've been looking for other explanations.

The in-utero ones I've heard, seem much more improbable than it being a complex of genes, some of which are redundant and not present in every gay man.

ETA: It's probably better for us that they never find the exact mechanism, or we end up with a "Twilight of the Golds" situation.

jomicur's avatar

I can't help noticing that Urbanek, Anderson and all the other anti-LGBT hate preachers who insist we're all pedophiles NEVER call out the numerous--abundant, in fact--pedophile clergy members that pollute the landscape. No, no, that might be bad for business.

As I often note, businesses never call out other businesses that peddle the same product. Never. We can't have people thinking the inerrant word of God might be pretty damn errant, after all. They might start thinking for themselves instead of letting US tell them what to think. I mean, Jesus, we might have to start working for a living!

Well, at least he's honest about his bigotry... that's more than I can say for the "love the sinner, hate the sin" types, who are just as cruel and vile, but pretend to be kind.

cdbunch's avatar

Oh, but it's loving to "warn" someone that they're going to hell if they don't stop "sinning".

I could maybe see a deity against fornication (still pretty fucked up given said deity supposedly gave us our sex drives.), but I can't accept one that condemns love.

This is why Stephen King refers to the GQP as RepublicGuns.

The GQP don't hit theirs until their 30s. And it lasts until their 90s.

Depending on contexts, 'bad teenager' = 'good teenager'.

Whitney's avatar

So apparently, it was finally bad enough that YT dropped the hammer on the video of it. Must be the advocating for killing people that finally did it.

Would that this kind of speech came as any kind of surprise. Too many preachers I've seen honestly believe in their h3llfire-and-brimstone sermons to wind up their membership. This isn't really all that unusual, it's just that these days, someone oftentimes records the sermon and posts it online to a wider audience. Urbanek may be going for the extremist prize, but he's not alone; and now we're back to why churches can't keep people anymore. It's not like other churches are even pretended to disassociate themselves with guys like this, they agree with him they just wish he wouldn't say this stuff out loud.

There's a very good reason I have no interest in being part of the 'Christian love' crowd.

jomicur's avatar

You are wrong. Obviously Youtube dropped the video because they are part of the vast, monolithic leftwing conspiracy to persecute christians.

Yup, this is a great example of stochastic terrorism. Announce confidently and with authority that certain people deserve death for existing, claim it is the authorities job, state it doesn’t matter how it’s done, then wait for the randos to notice the authorities aren’t doing anything to make it happen and then the randos do it for the authorities. Bonus points for tips and hints on the violence.

cdbunch's avatar

But, God forbid, we hold him responsible for his words. That's the path to repression of all unpopular ideas and dystopia. Or so the Freeze Peach absolutists say. They ignore that there are already limits on speech, and dogmatically refuse to discuss if there's a better place to draw that line.
