It looks like "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson hasn't learned much from coming under fire for spewing anti-gay and racist remarks last year.
Radar Online reports the conservative reality TV star gave a 43-minute sermon on April 21 at Whites Ferry Road Church in West Monroe, La., where he slammed the media for coming down on him for his anti-gay views and accused the media of being ignorant of the Bible. Oh yeah, and he reiterated his bigoted comments.
He says in the speech:
What's [Jesus] coming back for?... To bring salvation to those who are waiting for it. Are you waiting on Jesus? Or are you afraid to see that sky busting, you see him coming? You got two lists... I gave some guy one list.
They were mad at me...You say, why'd they get mad at you? Cuz instead of acknowledging their sin, like you had better do, they railed against me for giving them the truth about their sins. Don't deceive yourselves. You want the verse? The news media didn't even know it was a verse! They thought I was just mouthing off. Is homosexual behavior a sin? The guy asked me. I said, 'do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God?' Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor the idolators nor adulterers nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves, nor greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
This isn't the first time Robertson gave an anti-gay sermon. It was reported last year he's had a history of homophobic remarks and gave a similar speech in 2010.
