Greenwell Springs Baptist Church pastor Dennis Terry says he never told those who disagree with his views that there is only one God and America was founded as a Christian nation that they should "get out!" of the country during an event at his church on Sunday featuring Rick Santorum.
Pastor Terry is saying that his comments were "taken out of context" although lots of people have seen the full length speech through the power of the internet. If you haven't seen it yet, take a peek. It speaks for itself.
Yesterday, Greenwell Springs' Worship Minister Jeremy Dailey posted a message on his Facebook account asking that all church members "remove from Facebook and/or any other public site, any video showing footage from the Sunday Evening service of March 18, 2012":
Greenwell Springs Baptist Church pastor Dennis Terry introduced presidential candidate Rick Santorum and Family Research Council president Tony Perkins Sunday night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a rousing speech railing against liberals and non-Christians and condemning abortion rights, "sexual perversion," same-sex marriage and secular government.
Terry said that America "was founded as a Christian nation" and those that disagree with him should "get out! We don't worship Buddha, we don't worship Mohammad, we don't worship Allah!" Terry, who has a long history of attacks against the gay community, went on to criticize marriage equality for gays and lesbians, and said that the economy can only recover when we "put God back" in government.
So, in case you didn't get all that: you don't belong in the United States if you believe in any other religion other than this that of Dennis Terry. Those of you thinking the Constitution ensured freedom of religion were clearly wrong according to Mr. Terry.
Notice, Rick Santorum seems to have NO problem with Mr. Terry's positions.
At the end of the event, Terry prayed over Santorum and asked God to "have favor upon Rick Santorum." (source)
