Radical street preachers disrupt Upstate church, scream insults at women, pastor says

OCONEE COUNTY, S.C. —

Two radical Canadian street preachers, who openly revile gays, people with tattoos, those they judge to be unbelievers and women they say are whores for wearing shorts, have recently disrupted Upstate church services, leading to a warning from a sheriff's office.

The announcement shared with Upstate churches by the Oconee County Sheriff's Office said: "Two individuals by the names of Matt Carapella and Steven Ravbar have come into the Tabernacle of the Lord church on Highway 24 near Townville and have been reportedly disruptive during the last three services and were asked to leave.

"A patrol request has been put in for this church and they have also reportedly been causing some problems in some churches in Georgia as well.

...

Tabernacle of the Lord Pastor Luke Gibson said Carapella and Ravbar sat quietly in the back of the sanctuary and did not disturb the Sunday night service, but when it ended, the men went to the foyer of the church, and started screaming "vile things" mostly at the women.

And listening to the evangelist that showed up every Friday. I would often, "interact" with him. One time, I asked him why there was homosexuality in other animals than humans if animals had no souls (according to his theology). He said it was because God gave man dominion over the Earth, and Man' sin covered the Earth, so there was homosexuality in animals. I replied back, "Wait! You're saying there are two male monkeys fucking in the jungle right now, and it's humanity's fault?" He refused to talk to me after that, but every now and then I would yell out, "Tell us about the gay monkeys, damn it!" I was known as, "Gay Monkey Man," on campus after that.

Several years later in a different city, I went to a lecture by James "The Amazing" Randi. I was the fourth person in the room - Randi was setting up, and there was a couple sitting in the audience area. We looked familiar to each other, but I didn't say anything. Finally, one of them asked me, "This may sound strange, but I have to know... Are you Gay Monkey Man?" That got Randi's attention so I gave him the short version of the first paragraph, and I'm proud to say I made Randi laugh.
