Writing on his Facebook page, Gipson said that eating shellfish is a "sin", citing Leviticus 11:9-12:
"Been a lot of press on Obama's opinion on 'shrimp consumption.'
The only opinion that counts is God's: see Leviticus 11:9-12 and Deuteronomy 14:9-10. Anyway you slice it, it is sin. Not to mention horrific social policy.
Leviticus 11:9-12 says, "These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in theaters, that shall be an abomination unto you."
In response to a follower's comments, Gipson specifically named Long John Silver's, Red Lobster, and Popeye's as restaurants that were weakening American culture and society.
Gipson is not backing down on his comments, and said, “To be clear, I want the world to know that I do not, cannot, and will not apologize for the inspired truth of God’s Word. It is one thing that will never ‘change’.”
Research shows children who grow up in households with gay parents have normal self-esteem. Also, churches, governments, and individuals telling children and adults they are unnatural is what’s harmful to children. Love is a simple concept for children to grasp; bigotry and hate are what confuse and harm children (and adults).

Applying his comments towards basically any other part of Leviticus shows how absolutely insane it is.
