Christian conservative and failed
gubernatorial candidate Scott Lively has declared homosexuality
“worse than” murder and genocide.
Lively, founder of the
Massachusetts-based Defend the Family International, appeared last
week on Bryan Fischer's radio show to discuss his prediction that
“global chaos” would ensue if the Supreme court strikes down
state bans on gay marriage and promote an upcoming prayer vigil he is
organizing as the Supreme Court takes up the issue.
Lively told Fischer that the high
court's ruling would cross a line with God unseen “in the entire
history of the world since Noah's flood,” which he claimed was the
result of “homosexual marriage.”
“The final straw for God was when
they started celebrating and engaging in homosexual and bestial
marriages,” Lively
said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Lively
declared homosexuality “the most egregious form of rebellion
against God” and a sin “worse than murder and worse than
genocide.”
“It's not just another sin,” he
added. “It's really a harbinger of the judgment of God. … The
celebration by the society [of homosexuality] is a harbinger of the
wrath of God.”
