This is an overt example of a far too typical hypocritical attitude of many religious "leaders" who claim to be acting in the interest of the world, using their misguided delusional interpretations of "the word of God" to perpetuate their small minded bigotry and attempt to control the minds of their parishioners with poisonous ideas. While the First Amendment will protect them, their spitefulness and villany will haunt them and eternally deny them peace. Unfortunately, their "flock" will willingly follow them into the depths of despire, believing that this fool speaks truth. No amount of rational explanation will ever convince them of the error here. They are beyond salvation. Ironic, no?
