God's Gentle People, Part 87
Readers have been sending me clips by West Virginia-based Pastor Jeff Owens for several months now and this one went up on YouTube yesterday. "We need to stop burning flags and start burning FAGS! We need Hunt-A-Homo Week. We need to take 'em all out and shoot 'em with a scatter shotgun." Owens is on a national speaking tour of Baptist churches all this year. And he's not a one-man loony show, either. His Shenandoah Baptist Church has a staff of a dozen ministers and produces events such as the East Coast Ladies Conference, where attendees are commanded to "dress modestly according to the Bible." I believe this clip was made by one of Owens' charming fans.
UPDATE: The clip was pulled from YouTube but I was able to save it and repost it to Vimeo.
