I am not a believer but I agree with those who said it is idiots like this preacher who gives christianity a bad name.

They claim to base they beliefs on christ but somehow I don't see christ saying anything like this in his day.
Judgement is suppose to be god's, not theirs. If god exist and have issues with gays let him deal with it.

Although Christ never mentioned it, the Old Testament certainly does, and condemns it every time it is mentioned.

The problem, of course, is you're not supposed to judge yourself; you're supposed to let God judge. Religion is supposed to be separate from law.

And then there's the fact that he probably finds many things in the Bible deplorable (the right to beat and rape women and own slaves, for example), so he's just cherrypicking with this one.

I totally agree. If memory serves me correctly the old testament also supports stoning prostitutes, going to war and slaughtering women and children etc.,

I was taught Christians are suppose to forget all that stuff and focus on the new testament way.

Christ never threatened anyone with death or said they should be killed. As you said that's for judgement and the afterlife or whatever.
