Homophobic patriarch of the Duck Dynasty clan claims he was "just trying to help those poor souls and turn them to Jesus" when he compared the gay lifestyle to bestiality and claimed they were all going to hell.

Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson explained over the weekend that people had misunderstood the intent of his homophobic comments because he was just “trying to help those poor souls and turn them to Jesus.”

Speaking at the Rock the South festival Cullman, Alabama on Saturday, Robertson defended comments he made to GQ magazine last year comparing homosexuality to bestiality and adultery.

Robertson had argued that “a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus,” and said that LGBT people “won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.” On Saturday, Robertson told the crowd that he was “actually a nice man,” according to the Birmingham News.

“I’m trying to help those poor souls and turn them to Jesus,” he said.

Yes and nothing says, "I'm just trying to help you," like comparing someone's sexuality to man on mule love, and suggesting that they are destined to an eternity of pain and suffering in the fiery pits of hell.

There is nothing wrong with being religious, but if you feel justified in telling somebody that because they do not believe as you do that they will punished for all eternity, then yours is a religion of threats and condemnation and not one of love and acceptance as they are so often advertised.
