Religious extremism on display in Georgia

The American Taliban is alive and well in Georgia. This time in the town of Milledgeville, Georgia where resident Robert Owens noticed something unusual and outrageous:

Robert Owens was just casually riding his bike on North Columbia Street in Milledgeville when he noticed a sign that read "Homesexuality is a Death Worthy Crime."

What the what? Yes, you read that right. Pastor Robert Lee doesn't think there is a thing wrong with the sign. Killing homosexuals is apparently exactly what Jesus would do:

Lee says he sees nothing wrong with the sign and was just quoting Leviticus 20:13, a scripture in the Bible.
"Homosexuality is an abomination, and the Bible says that homosexuality is a death worthy crime," Lee said.

Lee goes on to say that he will never accept homosexuality and that he would rather die first. Well, alright then. See his nutty interview and an interview with Robert Owens, who says he's deeply embarrassed, here.
