God Panic Defense
At least, that's one way of putting Jimmy Swaggart's message that if a gay man gave him the wrong kind of look, he'd kill him and tell God that he just happened to die of natural causes.
There are five hundred different things running around in my brain right now, but I'd like to focus on the top three:
1. This is the man who got caught in flagrante delecto with what the guys who wrote the New Testament would refer to as a harlot. And we all know how Jesus felt about sinners casting stones...
2. This is what it comes down to, people. No "love the sinner, hate the sin", no "Treat the homosexual with love"-- it comes down to, "I'm going to kill any fag motherfucker who looks at me the wrong way."
3. And most importantly of all: This is a somewhat famous man, who has said that he would kill any gay person who looks at him in a way that could be mistaken for sexual attraction. And the only place I've heard uproar about this is on relatively liberal, gay-slanted blogs. What the fuck is wrong with our nation?
