The Christian Glory Hole
By Nicholas Powers

From the October 20, 2010 issue


"I’m not able to take enough showers to wipe the smell of him off my body” said Jamal Parris of Bishop Eddie Long. In a recent FOX news interview, Parris spoke of sex before and after church services, and in his lawsuit alleged being sodomized orally in Long’s private church office.

If true, imagine the scene of a young man kneeling, giving a blowjob to his pastor. Long stuffs his *************.

....(snip)....

Minutes later Long is on the stage of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, as thousands yell and wave in the 10,000- seat megachurch. They have come to hear the Word of God and the pastor opens his arms as if to lift them to Heaven. From backstage Parris watches, scared but proud because this powerful man proved once again that he is special.

Parris, now 23, was 17 at the time and he, along with three other young men — Maurice Robinson, 20, Anthony Flagg, 21, and Spencer LeGrande, 22 — have filed charges against Long for sexual coercion. Long is the latest to join the roster of hypocrites from evangelist Ted Haggard, who condemned gays but had meth-fueled rounds of sex with a man, to the anti-gay activist and Baptist minister George Rekers, who hired an escort from Rentboy.com.

....(snip)....

But the repressed always returns. In Totem and Taboo Freud wrote, “The pleasure of the impulse constantly undergoes displacement in order to escape the blocking which it encounters and seeks to acquire surrogates for the forbidden in the form of substitutive objects and actions.” Does this not describe pastor Long’s compulsive mentoring of young men?

Long, like many men in authority, sacrificed his sexual truth for power while using his power to prey on boys. When we stop seeing these scandals as personal failures to live up to a law and critique the law itself, a lot of unneeded suffering will stop. It seems that would take a miracle, but since Long believes in miracles let’s imagine one. .........(more)

1. its funny.....

not "ha ha" funny, but if anyone talked about christian terrorists like everyone on the white-wing side talks about muslims, there would be an unbelievable shitstorm raining down on them. May god be with these brave young men who are sure to be harrassed to no end for coming forward.

btw, I get really nervous on a plane when a pedophillic christian terrorist shows up....oh ya, we have no way of knowing they are one....bastards.

2. "sodomized orally"

I know the definition of sodomy is officially anything other than missionary, but that quote just throws me.

If memory serves, wasn't this pastor defended by his flock against other, earlier accusations? https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Eddie_Long#Salary_and_Senate_investigation">Oh wait, he was paying himself millions of dollars from his own charity.

And then there's this gem:

A woman chooses to be respectful, submissive and obedient to her father or husband. To live otherwise is to be outside of the divinely established order, and will result in the loss of spiritual and natural benefits.

5. Worst euphemism of the year: 'compulsive mentoring'

That's just wrong on multiple levels. And actual mentors must really appreciate the association!
