Katy Perry’s father calls her ‘devil child’ in sermon

From the Feel The Christian Love dept.:

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/katy-perry-father-calls-devil-child-sermon-report-article-1.1333384

According to a report by the UK's The Sun, firebrand preacher Keith Perry has made claims that watching his famous daughter perform is so hellish that he finds himself weeping because the fans are worshipping the "Fireworks" singer instead of God.

Perry's parents are currently touring American churches as guest speakers and allegedly in Perry's father's sermons he urges people to "pray for Katy."

(snip)

"They ask how I can preach if I produce a girl who sang about kissing another girl?" her father said at a speaking engagement in Santa Fe Springs, Calif. according to The Sun.

(snip)

Perry's mom and dad also asked for donations, "not one or two dollars, but 20s" so they can reportedly go to Switzerland.

I had no idea who katy perry was but my six year old daughter likes a couple of her songs and set me straight.

His daughter is one of the most popular music artists in the world. I'd be proud if she were mine.

Maybe he doesn't deserve someone like her.

Now I do. I hope she doesn't backslide into Debbie Boone territory.

But she probably will. Indoctrination is powerful.

wouldn't he make arrangements for that? If he favors them, why is the devil child getting so much more money than them. Weird people...

while her parents rake in the money from people that hate her.

Not that she's necessarily in on her parent's scam, but it all fits together very well.
