Following controversial comments made by a Seneca pastor, which appear to call for the government to kill homosexuals, a protest is now planned against that message.
That comes after the controversial portion of the sermon, delivered last Sunday by Pastor Curtis Knapp of Seneca's New Hope Baptist Church, was posted Wednesday in the Huffington Post.
Now, a group from the local area, working under the slogan “Hate Is Not a Kansas Value” are planning to protest Knapp, outside the church, on Sunday.

One day following Knapp's sermon going viral, and placing national attention on the Nemaha County Community, Seneca City Administrator Tami Haverkamp released a brief statement(Play Audio)
Our attempts to contact Knapp have been unsuccessful; however, Kansas First News Wednesday did gain an exclusive interview with the Pastor.
According to Kansas First News, Knapp clarifies that homosexuals have nothing to worry about from him, as he wouldn't lay a finger against them, hoping for their salvation not their death.
Other comments Knapp made during the interview make it appear that he is referencing homosexuality as a crime similar to incest or polygamy.
