Another Saturday in Spartanburg

Protesters, from Westside Baptist Church of Cowpens, Open Door Baptist Church in Easley, and True Light Pentecost Church of Spartanburg, held up signs with slogans like “No special rights for sodomites,” “Salvation and sodomy don’t mix” and “I am not a homophobic, I am a theophobic.”
The Rev. Travis Blackwell of Westside Baptist asked passers-by headed to the park if they died today, would they go to heaven.
Members of the Pentecostal church shouted, “Every one of you is going to hell” and “All y’all got AIDS” as people walked past. One woman from the group shouted at a police officer: “You going to keep us on the sidewalk and let these freaks walk on the street?”

  1. What does theophobic mean? One definition I came across said that "theophobia is the fear of gods or religion."
