Florida pastor rants: God wants men to rule women -- but men can't rejoice without being sued

There is no leadership except for male leadership, according to a Florida pastor.

During a March 29 sermon about leadership, which was recently highlighted by the Friendly Atheist blog and the Bad Preachers YouTube account, Pastor Bill Lytell of the Gospel Baptist Church told his congregation he was proud to have a "male leadership" sign outside the church because "this is a man's world."

Lytell said that after a 9-year-old boy found a gun in the church's bathroom last month, he was happy that a local media outlet filmed the "male leadership" sign during its coverage of the incident.

"And that's going to go out throughout the whole country. Do you know what we'd have had to pay to do something like that?" he remarked. "That was probably a hundred thousand dollar gift. I'm not going to thank the person that left the weapon, however."

"Don't you be ashamed you go to a church with male leadership," Lytell said. "Every church that’s right with God oughta have a sign: 'Male Leadership.' Because that's the only kind of leadership, both from Adam all the way to the last part of the Bible. It's all been male. This is a man's world!"

"And all the men said, 'Amen!'" he continued. "There aren't many places were men can ever rejoice anymore without feeling about half-ashamed because they try to put you down or sue you or something, but brother this is a man's world. You can say what you want, you can do what you want, but God made Adam in leadership and it's going to end with a man in leadership. It doesn't make men better, it is just God's way."
