The American Preacher Spreading Hate

Director Hannah Livingston spends six months tracking two of America's most radical Christian hate groups - including a notorious pastor from Arizona who has been banned from the UK.

This film shows how America's constitutional right to free speech allows these groups to spread homophobia in an increasingly polarised and divided political climate. Drawing on a literal interpretation of the Bible, the pastor opens new churches in America and influences people around the world by broadcasting his sermons over the internet.

Oh, we’re on Snapchat too - just incase you were wondering… add us, bbcthree.

Is no one going to talk about how he said it’s a sin not to beat your children?

[cmm]

This guy is a real life South Park Character lmaoo

[benjaminreyes]

50 bucks he's on grindr with no profile pic 🙄

He got assaulted at the border by police after refusing to comply with orders. As someone against police brutality, I cannot condone all the officers’ actions. As someone who hates Steven Anderson, I’m delighted.

[BigJunnySoprano]

This guy is like the villain of a movie who gets killed right at the start

1 Corinthians 13:2

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

This Guy could be a great comedian, the only problem is that he actully believes the stuff he's saying.

[BigNate]

This guy alone would make an amazing south park character

[lillyhickin]

anyone else think this was a joke when they clicked on it

[CwDeutn]

I didn't hear any preaching... only bashing gay people.

[michaelbryant]

Just ignore him. That will bother him more than anything else.

[tacobellcall]

I clicked on this because I thought it was a skit...

[joebhoyy]

He’s is most definitely a secret Grindr user

[justquestioninglife]

I love the fact that he said that beating a kid isn’t a sin.

[subsnovideoschallenge-kbst]

This preacher has lost the spirit of Christ.

As a straight man, the man who said the point of Christ is to love is totally right. Neither side was civil, but the pastor was totally wrong.

[jackhambleton]

You are telling children to kill themselves. How can you do that

[geraldgillespie]

If you really were a Christian you would pray for them not persecute

[jarhead]

People like him give TRUE Christians a bad name.

[fakename]

I imagine him in South Park, hating on Creak
