Earlier this year, extremist anti-LGBTQ pastor Kevin Swanson voiced his disgust over the existence of the film "The Shape Of Water," fuming that it represented "the end of civilization as we know it" because it promoted "cross-species mating" in direct defiance of the Bible.
Now that the film has won Oscars for best picture and best director, Swanson has returned to warn that God may destroy America because of it.
"The Academy Award ceremonies this week provided the best film and best director Oscar to a violation of the worst possible sexual sin mentioned in Leviticus chapter 18," Swanson said on his radio program today. "Maybe I'll just leave it there, I don't want to defile the ears of my listeners. But this was another milestone in the moral degradation of Hollywood and the nation itself. What it did was it presented the ultimate sexual depravity—and, again, I don't want anyone thinking what this is—but the ultimate sexual depravity as presented in Leviticus 18 is presented in this movie as a tender and romantic and a beautiful thing. Even saying that is just disgusting."
Swanson proceeded to read a passage from Leviticus 18 in which God warned the Israelites that they would be destroyed if they dared to engage in such depravity.
"God says, 'Be careful, I might just bring this to you if you violate my law to the level of egregiousness contained in the moral commands in Leviticus 18,'" Swanson declared. "It's these abominable practices that are being committed in this nation today and glorified at the highest echelons of the nation."
