By now you've probably seen this video. TMZ is reporting this took place in the Apostolic Truth Tabernacle in Greensburg, Indiana. Sure looks like the same pastor.
I think this appalling video reflects just how ugly organized religion can get. We've seen it throughout history. No Judeo-Christian religion is immune.
That it is happening now in THIS country is very much motivated and inspired by the the GOP/Bush/Rove decade of an unrepentant appeal to the God, Guns and Gays bullshit.
At this point, I see little difference between American Evangelism and Muslim extremism. Christians persecute gays all over the world still today, as they do in Muslim countries...and obedient crowds still cheer. It's not OK.
