Preacher's Magic Trick

Sometimes you just need a little help ...

This Ghanaian preacher thought he needed a whole lot of help and bought his higher power from the logal magic store.

You can read the whole story here:

Like Father Like Daughter ::: Like Daughter Like Father

Spending some time with my family over school holidays ... the blog bug bites. My Father has started his own prodigal journey in blog form.

Whilst educating my parents in technology is often weary, getting them started with blogging was so simple it was enjoyable for all of us.

Are you on the list ... Hell Awaits You!!

God Hates Fags ... God Hates Pharasies More

Sweetheart, we don't have an "Old Testament God".

Your kind of religion is perversion. The way of the "law" is done and finished. Quite frankly, the example of Christ seems to be ignored again and again and again.

Jesus, met with the maginalised, the sick, the unholy, the prostitutes, the theif, the tax collector, the publican ... the people. He chastised the priests, with venom.

If Jesus is the Son Of God, then all that was before and all that came after him is irrelevant if you do not follow in the footsteps of the Christ. The words of man will not outway the life of Jesus. Leviticus is not greater than Jesus, Deuteronomy is not greater than Jesus, any of the writings of Paul are not greater than Jesus.

Jesus walked in mercy. Those who follow him should also walk in mercy. God is judge, not man.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain

"God is a concept by which we measure our pain." John Lennon

It is pain that makes us surrender. It is when we realise that we may just need something bigger than ourselves to get us out of our mess. That moment when we say God help me ... comes to everyone.

Stryper Goes XXX

I am still laughing my ass off after hearing "To Hell With The Devil" for the first time in God knows??? I love the XXXChurch, I love the balls they have to take their message to the mainstream church and say .... "Hey, you say, think you are perfect... but what about your porn?" They are saying this in churches. Totally cool. I can see those self-righteous little behinds squirming now. The tagline for the XXXchurch is "The #1 christian porn site"

The guys at the XXXchurch are running a glorious circus of fools at present. Promoting Stryper along with pro wrestling and a debate between Porn King Icon Ron Jeremy and Craig Gross, founder of the XXXchurch as part of their "unscripted 2007".

I love it:
Ron Jeremy
Pro Wrestling
Stryper

God I wish I was in Atlanta, GA right now.

You will get all the madness at their website for Unscripted 2007 here. Enjoy it, it was the best laugh I've had in years.

I can't but feel nostalgic, listening to Stryper after having my rock chick reignited at Jemfest Australia. Giddyup guys. Best of luck. Stick it to those right wing conservative christians with a cupboard full of secrets.

Jesusland - Ben Folds

Just in case I haven't been jesus crispy enough of late. I thought you may appreciate Ben Folds video to Jesusland ... full of television evangelists, deliciously crispy.



I love this video. The tambourine was a nice touch. When I was in 4th class in primary school I was asked what I was going to be when I grew up ... I stood up and said ... "I'm going to be an evangelist." If anyone else has a story of social suicide feel free to share it here!

God Hates Fags - The Real Christians Speak

I watched this video on youtube and I got so frustrated. The website of this woman's church is godhatesfags.com... seriously!!

[note to my friends: unless you have time to burn and love theological arguments, you may want to skip this one!]



If you haven't read the words of The Christ you have no business reading the words of Paul or the Old Testament. Christ demonstrated compassion and tolerance. His message was of faith and not of law.

As a preacher's kid, in my late teens, many of my friends were gay. My father had been a hardliner from his conversion ... for him God had been a life and death decision. It is the issue that divided us. So many Doctors play god with a child's sexuality when they are born ... so many of us are born imperfect. Deviant behaviour is deviant behaviour whether your are gay or heterosexual, it isn't exclusive to homosexuals. It is not unusual to hear "when did you decide to be gay" ... like you would choose to make your life so difficult??!! When did you decide to be heterosexual??

My fear for Shirley Phelps-Roper, is that she stands in judgement over others.

The children of the original creator may not be lacking in creativity, but certainly originality.

And the political containment award goes to .... Time Magazine

Time magazine published the cover story The Truth About Talibanistan everywhere but America ... What could possibly be more important????? The Case for Teaching The Bible???? Read the post at Stilgherrian

Jesus Crispy Camp

I am a born again, spirit filled, word believing, faith talking, armour wearing child of the king. Satan gets so discouraged when he see the word of god working in me. You don't have to be defeated, or wait for heaven to get the victory. I am a born again spirit filled, word believing, faith talking, armour wearing child of the king.

I don't know how the rest of that song goes, but it scares me that at 30 years of age, I still remember this much. I believe that there is "bring up the child in the way he should go" ... and then there is brainwashing.

Please watch this trailer. Please realise that an introduction to God should be a personal discovery, not a guilt ridden weight of responsibility for mankind. I have been that child. I have carried the weight.

Shame on you adults for putting these expectations on your children ... I hope to God you are not looking at your next generation of drug addicts and prostitutes. Why, because not even YOU can live up to the requirements you place on your children. Any when they discover your hypocrisy, you will feel the consequences. If God is God, he doesn't need an army camp to brainwash children into militant servitude. Jesus came with a message of how to live. That there is no 'us and them'. I don't care how you cut it up it is wrong. It will leave scars. Human beings do so much wrong "in the name of God". Children grow up eventually. They will hold you accountable.

The Lost Soul and a case for a Nursing Home

I am a child of a preacher. I am a child of a man whose thoughts were seldom censored. I am now an adult fearing the coming birthday. Kingdom come, thy will be done ... etc. When did I stop paying attention. Two weeks ago ... "you always seem to disappoint us in the usual areas.". Thanks Dad. I enjoy the confidence. Two words ... nursing home. If you are reading this Dad, yes, that comment hurt!

How is the building fund coming along?

Church buildings ... a sanctuary for spiritual communion or a fortress to keep the icky people out?

My fav. Seven Deadly Sins

Seven Deadly Sins

My friends and I were trying to name all of the seven deadly sins ... funny we did well for a few: lust, gluttony, envy, sloth ....??? Ok now I am stuck. Why is that? Perhaps I am not Catholic ... Oh yeah, I'm not. So I did a quiz to see what was going to damn me to hell. (like this site isn't enough!)

Greed:	Low
Gluttony:	Low
Wrath:	Low
Sloth:	Medium
Envy:	Very Low
Lust:	Medium
Pride:	Medium

Take the Seven Deadly Sins Quiz

Having seen the results, there were no surprises there. I am a mess to live with. It is common for my partner to walk in and express: "someone broke into our house and trashed it.", lust ... well, I'm sure you get it. Pride ... now this surprised me, but maybe I'm just too proud to see it. It's a bit of fun.
