 * He has gotten some news coverage. But he is not now infamous like Phelps and Peters, and there is something to be said for keeping obscurities like him obscure and hopefully irrelevant. 193.200.150.137 (talk) 02:25, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * My problem with the article was that it is completely unsourced, so that it would be far more difficult to verify each specific claim in it than to write a completely new article. 02:29, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I have a similar sentiment. Тy talk 02:33, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Some of this nonsense may actually rise to the level of being defamatory, who knows when there's not a single cite. I'm deleting it. If someone with rights wants to build on this and write an article about Steven Anderson that doesn't look like it came from the pen of a disgruntled 6th grader, make sure to read and cite the massive corpus of 6 news articles there is on this nobody. 02:51, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

There are citations being added right now. user:Aurelius2015

use of humor on this site
I just came here from Google to see if this Steven Anderson dipshit actually had any bona fides, and was disappointed to see that this is more of a humor/snark site than an actual resource I can use to point people towards in order to learn more about skepticism, rationality, logical fallacies, and examples to which one might relate when on a path from dogmatic, possibly religious, thinking to one of free thought.

I'm not bothering to look further. I'm assuming this page represents the whole. Name that logical fallacy.
 * Three quick points.


 * 1) You created an account solely to bitch about how you dislike this site? That has to be one of the most wasteful things I've seen anyone do all week.
 * 2) You should have capitalized the first letter in your topic header.
 * Thank you for completely ignoring this post. 19:36, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Sexism Omitted
You have left out Anderson's rampant sexism, which is even worse than his stand on homosexuality. He believes women should not have paying jobs, should not have the right to vote, should not be in the public sphere at all, and girls should remain at home until they get married.

He is an even greater proof what a mental illness religion is.
I hope there is a cure against this conservative virus. 77.20.231.61 (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Fragile YouTube links
Most of the YouTube references in this article have either been deleted or are now marked private. I spot checked a couple of these to see if they'd been archived at archive.org, and none of the ones I checked are available there. It is a common problem here at RW that very few editors take the time to archive fragile links like YouTube videos or Twitter posts, and in the case of hatemongers like Anderson, they eventually get deleted or the posting account gets banned for violating the site's terms of service.

What should editors do in cases like this? I am tempted to delete all statements where the only reference is a deleted YouTube link, but I'll leave this open for community discussion before taking any such action.

Because if this issue I'm removing bronze from this article pending a clean up. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 17:03, 16 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Update: I found a set of archive.org sites where it appears that Anderson's YouTube history (at least through 2018) is archived. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 17:16, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Sex scandal
Sooooo, apparently there was a scandal with Anderson because apparently, allegedly his sons were grooming very young (12/13) year old girls and were talking about engaging in violent and degrading sex acts, or something like that. I didn't have time to archive it all let alone look through it all but... here's a Playlist that I found https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJFEiE4GKkvDN0WXQaVocAyd296bePmLs ExChristian (talk) 21:31, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * If this turns out true, WHOOOO BOY. Patty   Pat  22:29, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and archived it and looked through a bit. I read that there are over 500 pages worth of logs of his sons conversations. It was alleged that his sons grooming young girls and also talking about wanting to rape/beat/choke women. He also, ended up beating his sons as his response instead of trying to get them help. He held a secret sermon about it, I didn't watch it but I read the comments and according to the comments, he basically dismissed what his sons were talking about as "locker room talk" and tried to blame other people for what had happened. It's been known for more than 2 years but unfortunately Anderson did a very good job at mostly covering it up. I only found it out because I looked up if there were any sex scandals involving him (since it feels like you can't talk about anyone anymore without something like that coming up), and whaddaya know?
