Satan Stole Right-Wing Pastor's Money

Rod Parsley, a fundamentalist pastor who John McCain praised as a "spiritual guide" during the 2008 presidential campaign, is in big trouble—demonic trouble. Parsley has claimed that Islam is "the greatest religious enemy of our civilization and the world," and argued that the historic mission of America is to see "this false religion destroyed." (You can watch a video highlighting those comments here. After weeks of controversy, McCain finally repudiated Parsley in May 2008.) But it's not Islam that's causing Parsley problems these days. It's Satan himself. The Columbus Dispatch reports that Parsley is saying his ministry is under a "demonically inspired financial attack." Here's the clip from his television program, "Breakthrough":

The proximate cause of Parsley's trouble, it seems, is a $3 million deficit for the fourth quarter and a $3.1 million legal settlement over a 2006 incident in which a two-year-old child in a Parsley-affiliated daycare center was spanked so hard that his "buttocks and legs were covered with welts and abrasions":

The boy, then 2, said he was spanked with a "knife" by a substitute teacher. His parents, Michael and Lacey Faieta, believe it was a ruler.... The Faietas said Parsley refused to meet personally with them and that the church did not apologize or take accountability for the beating.... Mr. Faieta said he and his wife were "disgusted" and "saddened" by Parsley's words.

The devil works in mysterious ways.

[BrklynLiberal]

2. I assume burning witches at the stake will be next on the agenda...

These morons and those that follow them make Monty Python and the Holy Grail look like a documentary


Sir Bedevere: What makes you think she's a witch?
Peasant 3: Well, she turned me into a newt!
Sir Bedevere: A newt?
Peasant 3: ... I got better.
Crowd: Burn her anyway! _
______________________________________________

The Witch: I'm not a witch I'm not a witch!
Sir Bedevere: But you are dressed as one
The Witch: *They* dressed me up like this!
Crowd: We didn't! We didn't...
The Witch: And this isn't my nose. It's a false one.
Sir Bedevere: Well?
Peasant 1: Well, we did do the nose.
Sir Bedevere: The nose?
Peasant 1: And the hat, but she is a witch!
Crowd: Yeah! Burn her! Burn her!
Sir Bedevere: Did you dress her up like this?
Peasant 1: No!
Peasant 3, Peasant 2: No!
Peasant 3: No!
Peasant 1: No!
Peasant 3, Peasant 2: No!
Peasant 1: Yes!
Peasant 2: Yes!
Peasant 1: Yeah a bit.
Peasant 3: A bit!
Peasant 1, Peasant 2: A bit!
Peasant 2: a bit
Peasant 1: But she has got a wart!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
Peasant 1: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
Peasant 1: Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
Peasant 1: More witches.
Peasant 2: Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
Peasant 3: ...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
Peasant 2: ...A witch!

3. I bet the guy's molested more kids than the entire Boston diocese...

The fundies are far worse than the Catholic hierarchy, however well they may hide it.

6. No Rod likes his women all grown up.

His Dad had to pay big money for a sexual harassment suit by a former church employee.

Now as a younger man Rod did like his bong hits and b.j.s from teens.

4. That guy was on the television when I was still drinking 25 years ago...

Both of us rolling around on the floor making animal noises, talking in tongues, howling at imaginary devils, begging for forgiveness at three am....

I was having Delirium Tremens. I dunno WHAT the fuck his problem is.


He was shut down for a couple years for stealing from his 'flock'

[Botany]

5. Maybe Rod can give up his private jet, lavish home, and his 1 million/yr .....

.... paycheck. Also having his family on the church's payroll is kinda cute too.



The man is a Ken Blackwell Buddy and helped to rig the 2004 vote in Ohio along
w/ all kinds of other problems and or sins of his past.

7. And he's using it to fund the Gay Agenda.

:crazy:

[HelenWheels]

8. Money well spent

And a lot of ignorant people will send him money to refinance him.

[hmorehead]

9. Remember when Oral Roberts said G*d was going to kill him if he didn't

pony up with a coupla million? Or was that his evil twin - Anal Roberts.

10. Jesus- You can get $3.1 Mil if somone spanks your kid?
