If a gay man looks at me I'm going to kill him

[CShine 0]

Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart apologized Wednesday for saying in a televised worship service that he would kill any gay man who looked at him romantically.

A complaint was filed with a Canadian broadcasting group, and Swaggart said his Baton Rouge-based Jimmy Swaggart Ministries has received complaints from gay groups over the remarks made on the Sept. 12 telecast.

In the broadcast, Swaggart was discussing his opposition to gay marriage when he said "I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry."

"And I'm going to be blunt and plain: If one ever looks at me like that, I'm going to kill him and tell God he died," Swaggart said to laughter and applause from the congregation.

On Wednesday, Swaggart said he has jokingly used the expression "killing someone and telling God he died" thousands of times, about all sorts of people. He said the expression is figurative and not meant to harm.

"It's a humorous statement that doesn't mean anything. You can't lie to God - it's ridiculous," Swaggart told The Associated Press. "If it's an insult, I certainly didn't think it was, but if they are offended, then I certainly offer an apology."

Does this strike anyone else as funny as it does me? I'm running through the list of gay friends and trying to imagine any of them giving Jimmy Swaggart that look. Who in the world does he think he is? Does he own a mirror?

Rev. Swaggart ought to stick with hookers and sleezy hotel rooms.

You know King David did worse and was forgiven. Not to mention, what would he have done if a gay guy looked at him!!!

I didnt question that he can be forgiven. I just wanted a COMPLETE record of what he was upto back then.

Reminds me of a stand up routine I heard the other night on TV, apologize, cannot remember who the comedian was.

"I have a friend, who, still in this day and age, is a homophobe, can you believe it? Anyway, so we were sitting at the bar talking one day, and I was telling him he was crazy, that all of us are gay, it is just a matter of degrees. He says, 'hell, no, I am NOT gay!', so, I asked him if he liked to watch porn, he said, 'yea, of course, just like every guy'. So I asked him if he watched only girl on girl, and he says 'no, I like to see some guy on girl too', and I asked him, I asked him if liked the guy to be kind of small, flacid, he said, 'heck no, I want to see him long and hard!' I said, see, you proved my point, he said, 'oh sh_t!'"

That comedian is none other than RON WHITE!! I love that guy. If anybody hasn't seen him do his stand-up show, find a copy of it!! He's pretty funny on The Blue Collar Comedy Tour DVD, but he's great by him self.
