A Phoenix-area pastor has started to draw protesters to his congregation after he delivered a sermon titled, "Why I Hate Barack Obama," and told his parishioners that he prays for President Obama's death.

Pastor Steven Anderson stood by his sermon in an interview with MyFOXPhoenix, which reports that the pastor continues to encourage his parishioners to join him in praying for the president's death.

"I hope that God strikes Barack Obama with brain cancer so he can die like Ted Kennedy and I hope it happens today," he told MyFOXPhoenix on Sunday. He called his message "spiritual warfare" and said he does not condone killing.

What’s racist about wanting an evil person to die of brain cancer?

We are in the end times. :-(

[End Times Sentinel]

Doesn't sound like any kind of Christian I've ever heard of.

I pray that Obama will find Christ and renounce is evil ways.

[Radagast the Fool]

I’m sorry (well,actually I’m not), this is just plain wrong.

Isn’t Chicago hatemonger Rev. Wright enough?

Now there’s another one in Phoenix?

Totally unBiblical but praying that God either changes his heart or takes him out (does not mean make dead necessarily) is Biblical.

[mockingbyrd]

Whatever happened to praying for someone’s conversion?

[SmokingJoe]

It's not the “racism”.
You just can't go about wishing that politicians that you don't like, die of cancer.
And this is a “church”?

Who in Biblical times was as evil as Obama and been converted?

[Joe Boucher]

Any snake handling in this church?

And, how long do ya think it will be til this socialist punk taxes the church?

[gop4lyf]

Its idiots like this that the MSM will try to lord over us and say that we all are in agreement with his thinking.

[ninergold3]

What kind of freak show is this guy running? The Bible specifically commands that we pray for our country and her leaders - not against them.

[ArrogantBustard]

Who in Biblical times was as evil as Obama and been converted?

A young man named "Saul".

[rovenstinez]

thumbs up, an Obama turn around would be great for America, God could still do a miracle. If he could just change his heart, and NOT change the color of his skin.

OK, thanks. I’ll check it out. What chapters is that guy in the most?

[SmokingJoe]

I am sure he’s going to be condemned by plenty of conservatives for this one.
Never even heard of the guy before. He’s irrelevant.
