Friendly Atheist ★ Jim Burgen's recent sermon to Flatirons Community Church exposes how fear and lies drive anti-trans Christian politics.

A Christian megachurch pastor linked LGBTQ people to child traffickers while telling his congregation to support ballot initiatives that would make it harder for transgender people to receive health care. He added that if they didn’t do it, they would be considered a “traitor” to Jesus. 

All of this happened at Flatirons Community Church in Lafayette, Colorado (near Boulder). It’s one of the largest churches in the country with over 10,000 people attending one of its five campuses. 

In early November, Pastor Jim Burgen used part of his sermon to tell a series of lies:

That Christians were being silenced.

That millions of babies were being slaughtered annually.

That the government was allowing people to choose their gender and sex.

That kids in kindergarten had to sit through “gender/pronoun awareness puppet shows.”

That school libraries were filled with pornographic instruction manuals.

He lied to his congregation because he presumably believes it’s okay to lie to advance a conservative message.
