And it was sick.

It was just lying there

in a pile of snow.

And I picked it up,

and took it home,

and I put it in a baby pen.

And I fed it, fed it dirt,

and worms, and grass.

And it lived.

And every day I'd

take it outside

and I'd try to

get it to fly away

because I knew it was different,

and it didn't belong,

and I wanted it to go.

Someplace where it could live.

And one day I woke

up and it was dead.

See, I did everything

I could for that owl,

but I couldn't make it fly away.

Now, you get out of this

town and don't look back.

You weren't made for it.

I ain't leaving.

I know your kind.

Make him leave, Trevor.

(grunting)

Begone, devil, in the

Lord Jesus Christ's name.

Begone, Satan.

I fill that void

with the Holy Spirit.

(speaking in tongues)

God, I need you to show me.

I need you to show me.

I need you to show me.

I need you to show me, God.

(punches thudding)

(grunting)

God, my favorite.

One of my favorites.

Romans 6:
23.

"For the wages of sin is death,

but the gift of

God is eternal life

through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Amen.

(grunts)

Greyhound doesn't get

here until the morning.

I'm gonna put him on it myself.

All right?

He ain't going nowhere tonight.

But, you watch him.

Hey, watch him.

(uptempo violin music)

I'm all alone here, God.

I'm all alone.

I just need ya.

I don't feel ya.

I don't feel you at all.

I'll do whatever you want,

I just need you to

talk to me, God.

He won't leave.

He won't leave.

He won't leave, God.

What am I gonna do?

Just talk to me,

just talk to me!

(tires squealing)

[Aaron On Radio] These

filthy, disgusting sickos.

Our life would be a lot

easier for your church

if you just let the homos be.

I look 'em right in the eye.

I'm not looking for

an easy life, brother.

I'm looking for a

righteous one, praise God.

He has made it plain and

clear that homosexuality

is an abomination.

If you don't agree then...

You heard it, true believers.

Going straight to Hell.

(tires squealing)

You say, Pastor, that's so

extensive and so narrow-minded.

Ladies and gentlemen,

when it comes to the

gospel of Jesus Christ,

I'm so narrow-minded

a gnat could land

on the bridge of my nose

and kick both eyeballs out

at the same time.

We are at war,

brothers and sisters.

We're going to war

with the Devil.

Unbelievers will try

to make you think

that homosexuality is

normal, but it's not.

And how do I know?

I know because the

Bible tells me so.

Because the Bible is the

inspired Word of God.

You might say, Preacher, that's

a pretty narrow-minded way

of looking at things,

and I'll tell you what.

It is, praise God.

And I'm as narrow

as the Word of God.

Everyone applauds when the

folks come out of the closet

like it's a badge of honor.

Church, it's time we

come out of the closet.

Brothers and sisters, come

out of the closet for Christ.

Stand beside me and say,

World, enough is enough.

I will walk with God.

I will choose salvation

till the day I die.

Leave.

Now.

[church music]

[louder church music]

[church music ends]

I've got a river of

life flowing out of me

Spring up, O

well, within my soul

Spring up, O well,

and make me whole

Spring up, O

well, and give to me

That life abundantly

Spring up, O

well, and give to me

That life abundantly

(people cheering)

(slow rock music)
