Sacramentos religious community Tuesday roundly denounced a Natomas pastor who praised the Orlando massacre for eliminating sodomites.
The 45-minute sermon Sunday by Roger Jimenez, pastor of a tiny church in a South Natomas office park, had gone viral by Tuesday morning, drawing condemnation around the nation. YouTube took down a video of the sermon, saying it violated the sites ban on hate speech. But another copy was quickly posted.
Jimenez of Verity Baptist Church spoke to reporters briefly Tuesday morning outside his house on River Run Circle in South Natomas. He said he would not back down from his Sunday sermon lauding the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.
Hes said he doesnt intend to incite people to violence against LGBT people, but said he believes the God has put a death penalty on them.
All Im saying is that when people die who deserve to die, its not a tragedy, he said.
In his Sunday serman, Jimenez said the killing of 49 people in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla. helps society.
I think Orlando, Florida is a little safer tonight. The tragedy is that more of them didnt die. Im kind of upset he didnt finish the job.

Obama-nation still has time.
Lots of info in this article. He said that wasn’t the point of the sermon.
Another Westboro in the making?
I wouldn’t be surprised if this “pastor” is in denial and is really a self hading closet gay.
