Jimmy Swaggart has broken out the sackcloth and ashes and apologized for his comment about killing any gay man who looked at him "that way" (after complaints were lodged with the Canadian network that broadcast the sermon with the offending passages and at Swaggart's headquarters in Baton Rouge.)
Swaggart said he has jokingly used the expression "killing someone and telling God he died" thousands of times, about many people.
"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."
Thanks, Jim, I'm sure that makes everything all right for those who just didn't understand your wacky sense of humor. Praise the Lord and pass the collection plate.
