Anyone watch the special on HBO last night? Of course I did... What about the Oprah episode? Or kept up with the story at all? It's pretty funny, dude is a total waste and a liar.. basically confirms what a lot of people think about organized religion. I was checking out nudes of his escort, though... I'd hit it!
Didn't even have to read past the first word "Evangelical". This "pastor" is indeed a waste of skin. I wouldn't paint all organized religion with the same brush though.
Elaborate. EDIT: Oh, and don't go all typical "well not EVERYONE is the same blah blah blah" bastard excuse for a reply on me, either.
I am not a religious person myself but I do appreciate what religion means to most people. Also people should understand the separation between religion and the church itself. Religion is a vehicle many people use to seek peace, understanding and acceptance. Most people form their opinions on region and the church in general based on this minority of pastors/preachers/whatever who are sick and depraved that use their position in the community to prey on those who might fit the above description. As I said above I am not religious at all but I do go to church on a regular basis. Mostly because I support what the church does in our community. It is always there to silently lend a hand to those in need in the community no matter who they are and what affiliation they have to it. I wish we could all do the same.
First off, it doesn't seem to be all that minor of an issue... I'm not saying it's the majority by any means, but, I don't think it's as small of a deal as some people would like for it to be. I think it has been swept under the rug for far too long to avoid crumbling the false hopes of the weak minded. Also, I said organized religion.
Oh yeah, nudes of the escort: **WARNING ON LINK** http://boyculture.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/inches4_2.jpg
Well, yeah... and has thousands of followers who listen to him preach about doing what is right, against homosexuality, etc...
Yeah, I understand the whole hypocrisy of it all....but (and I'm not being smart, because I didn't see the whole thing)...but was anything he did illegal?
Yeah, he's a total slimeball.. .and a complete ass to the gay community, but, you can't help but feel a little bit sorry for him when you watch the HBO special.
