I've never seen a Christian in my life I wanted to marry. 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. I've used that statement thousands of times about all sorts of people, and that I do not mean to harm anyone. That's a little cliche. It's a tongue and cheek statement that's meant to be humorous and funny.
Nobody ever really said the above. Here's what really got said, by Reverend Jimmy Swaggart, on television broadcast all over Canada and the United States: "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." When people complained, he said "That's a little cliche. It's a tongue and cheek statement that's meant to be humorous and funny." Ha ha ha, don't stop now!
What else does Brother Swaggart have to say? "The Supreme Court of the United States of America is an institution damned by God almighty" ... "Evolution is a bankrupt speculative philosophy, not a scientific fact. Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it. [...] Only atheists could accept this Satanic theory" [...] "The minister of the Gospel is really the yardstick by which the nation measures its morals" [...] "Sex education classes in our public schools are promoting incest" ... "If I do not return to the pulpit this weekend, millions of people will go to hell." HA HA HA!
You slay me, Jimmy. I hope you don't mind my telling a funny little joke too, every now and then.
