Fire And Brimstone Pastor Promises To Set Himself On Fire If Supreme Court Rules For Gay Marriage
Rick Scarborough, a religious fundamentalist and former Southern Baptist pastor, says he intends to set himself on fire in protest of marriage equality.
In a "National Emergency Coalition" conference call between two Christian fundamentalist preachers, former Houston-area pastor Rick Scarborough told former Virginia GOP politician E.W. Jackson that he would rather burn than "sanction" a same-sex marriage.
"We are not going to bow. We are not going to bend, and if necessary we will burn," Scarborough said — suggesting that he'd self-immolate in protest of a forthcoming marriage equality ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court.

I look at it this way. They pick random bible verses to justify why gays couldn't marry (even if they still wear leather, eat pork, wear mixed fibers and enjoy dinners at Red Lobster, etc etc) so I'll remind him of some random bible verses too.
Anyone have a light?

... I think it skirts violating the TOS on advocating violence.
