For the record, before anyone comes to his defense, this is also the guy who claims dinosaurs didn’t exist (see, fossils were planted by Satan to trick people).

Hopefully nobody here comes to that guy’s defense. He’s wayyyyy over the top.

Just read the Wiki account of his church. I’m a baptist myself and he’s pretty weird. Probably a jerk as well. But...banned from a country? I’m sure Ireland has a lot worse than him running around.

Seems this is just more of the “You must admire and applaud homosexuality or you will be destroyed’ stuff.

Makes Westboro Baptist look mainstream.

Maybe, maybe not. But I can't blame them for not wanting one more coming in.

The guy is obviously a nutcase, and most people can see that, so why do you need to ban him? It’s the old “First they came for the communists, and I said nothing because I wasn’t a communist . . . “ sort of thing. They start with actual extremists, then they define extremism down, and before long anyone to the right of Stalin is an extremist, and Stalin ISN’T an extremist.

Mr Anderson has previously called for the death of former US President Barack Obama and praised the gunman who killed 49 people in an attack on a gay night club in Florida in 2016.

That's all I need to know. Just because some kook calls himself Christian does not make it so. I can call my motorcycle a 747, but that does not mean it will fly.

Fringe wack job of the Fred Phelps ilk. Sounds like a chaplain for the Klan.

“But I can’t blame them for not wanting one more coming in.”

Listened to a little of his preaching on YouTube and he’s repulsive. That said...not sure he is any more repulsive than a lot of muslim clerics or ‘abortion rights until the moment of birth’ types in the democrat party.

I’m more of “The answer to bad speech is good speech” kind of guy. I get very nervous about governments deciding who gets to speak or not. And as a practical matter, the guy will get a lot more publicity now than he would have if Ireland just ignored him.

Europe doesn’t believe in free speech. It believes in near total government control. I’d rather see a debate between this guy and a real Christian than see government ban him.

This guy claims the KJV bible translation is more authoritative than the original Greek texts.

And are they flocking to Ireland?

The Ireland may not be the place for you.

And as a practical matter, the guy will get a lot more publicity now than he would have if Ireland just ignored him.

But not his message, which is what he wanted to begin with.

SJWs passed the law to ban anyone from entry regarding thought crimes.

Then SJWs demanded enforcement through twitter against this guy.

Welcome to the totalitarian state.

So Ireland is now the land of sodomites. Interesting. Their ancestors must be spinning.
