The anti-gay North Carolina pastor Charles Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church has been facing backlash over his recent sermon in which he said the US should pen in all the lesbians and queers with an electrified fence and wait for them to die out.
But it turns out Worley has been saying offensive things about gay people for decades.
Jeremy Hooper dug up this bit of hate from Worley in 1978, in which Worley says that 40 years ago gay people would have been hung from a white oak tree:
WORLEY: Im Gods preacher. I just believe the book. Living in a day when, you know what, it saddens my heart to think that homosexuals can go around, bless God, and get the applause of a lot of people. Lesbians and all the rest of it? Bless God, forty years ago theyd have hung em, bless God, from a white oak tree, wouldnt they? Amen.

(2,577 posts)Such hatred! What makes me suspect he claims that he and his congregation are "biblical"? That's usually what hate-filled right-wing tool preachers claim as they spew venom in the name of God.
Ol' Charles hasn't read (much less comprehended) much of Jesus' teachings. I often think that Jesus would not be permitted in any of the churches of his "believers" in the United States.
