I don't know, Christian Stan Lee on crystal meth did make some good points. At night, after I drink the blood of an innocent with my vegan dinner, I sometime wonder if it's right for me to have all this land I stole from the Christian and if simply being assnotsic really allows me to have Christian children slaves. But I usually get over it as I have unprotected gay sex with a transgendered Muslim, and then I sleep easy.
For those of you who may be unclear on this, I'm joking. Some people have such strange perception of how the world works. It amazes me.
I love it. as an atheist/agnostic/non-theist, I HAVE A sense of humor.
Okay that's just funny.. but not a good example of a preacher at all, if some 'fundie' ought to say something.. check out John Macarthur! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrLL2rtHLYQ
And try to really listen, before you ridicule.
God bless
It's interesting how Christianity, like everything else, follows a sociological pattern. Johnny Mac appeals to a classy, more educated, intellectual clientele than your typical holy roller preacher.
A good rule of thumb is that the classier the clothes in the congregation, the more toned down the preacher in the pulpit.
The thing that is actually highly irritating about MacArthur is the dude just reeks of arrogance. He really thinks he is a smart cookie and has it all figured out. Where as the holy roller preacher doesn't think he is all that bright, but by god he's got that holy ghost. And when you are filled with the holy ghost you are on a roll.

OTOH, if you are "oneness".
I'm not sure most fundies would catch the comment.
So I remember once, as a teenager, our beloved Baptist preacher, who, for lack of a better phrase, TOTALLY SUCKED, made an announcement after service along the lines of "Ladies and Gentlemen, I spend 3 or 4 days a week coming up with my sermons, and I don't appreciate the noise from the youth in the back when I am preaching. Please talk to your kids if they are involved"
I was laughing so hard...."seriously? 3 or 4 days and that is the best you can come up with? Your Sermons SUCK! "
I wanted to orchestrate a walkout, but I was the only one who had the guts to do it, at least I did leave one Sunday and spend the morning outside.
If people would stand up to BULLIES, then we would not have such a problem. And bullies are common on pulpits.
If people would walk out and keep their money, then people like this would not have an audience or a livelihood, and the world would be a better place.
Yeah but the guy tells them that if they work with him, they can believe that they are immortal, that is ultimately the deep desire they want fulfilled.
LOL Atheists aren't "our" people. LOL
The idiots featured in the video need as much help as the crazy religious (don't get me wrong, there are plenty of normal secular religious types).
I remember a local radio preacher back in my salad days who used pepper the verbal tic "HEH!" at the end of every sentence, and the end of many phrases. I asked around about what this was supposed to mean, and was told that such verbal tics were supposed to be indication that the Holy Ghost had come upon the messenger. Of course my particular tribe of fundamentalists laughed at this nonsense as much as any unbeliever. It's absurd on its face.
One day cupper3 will be saved and acclaim Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God, the Father. I look forward to that day.
The sad thing is that there are some ministers out there that cause people to blaspheme God. I am glad they are few and far between.
