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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

'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.

Expand full comment

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)

Expand full comment

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.

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.

Or masturbation, which Christianity still says is a sin.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Expand full comment
Feb 9, 2023·edited Feb 9, 2023

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.

Expand full comment

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!

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.
