OMG

Okay I really don't care what other people believe as long as no one gets hurt. Todd Bentley is acting like a thug. I think the legal definition of what he is doing is battery. At first I thought well there is implied consent but in settings like the one Bentley is in the people do not question gods 'anointed'

I work as a telephone triage nurse and if someone called me and said a preacher kicked them in the gut I would file a police report.

Not much shocks me anymore...this does

found this on Mad priest's site

Mad Priest is my blogging hero....
I found this on his sight and thought it worth passing on.
The last paragraph troubles me though.

“What’s most tragic about this cycle, though, is the fact that there’s always a constituency for guys like this. I fear that it’s more than just P.T. Barnum’s famous old maxim about the gullibility of the American public. I fear that there’s something missing in our churches that drives even some of our people to charlatans. Might there be less of a demand for these traveling health-and-wealth revivalists if our churches spent more time on our knees in prayer for sick and hurting people?”

Perhaps it isn't was is missing from our churches perhaps it is the fact that critical thinking isn't taught much in schools in the US. I mean look at who "we" have for a president. Yes there are some teachers who still teach critical thinking, but being underpaid and lacking supplies some are just hanging on afraid to buck the system.

Perhaps it is because so many Americans lack health insurance, or aren't covered for so called pre existing conditions I read in the NY Times that the US ranks last in preventable deaths in industrialized nations.
So maybe we might get off our knees and work to improve education and health care.

I will stop now.

WTF

a joke about walking on water

A church called it's first female Priest, something which the two male members of the vestry were dead set against. These two men enjoyed an annual fishing trip that traditionally the Priest always attended. These two didn't really want to ask her but did "knowing" that she would decline after all women don't fish. Well she accepts and goes with the group. When they have gone a ways from the shore the realize they have forgotten the bait. The Priest jumps up says she will get it, steps out of the boat and walks across the water to the shore-as if it is nothing. "I told everyone it was a mistake to call a woman", said one of the vestry men, "she can't even swim....."

okay it's old but I always liked it

God save me from your people

I haven't blogged for a really long time 8 months...I figure no one reads this anyway...

But I found on another blog the following You-tube video and it made me crazy. .  So this guy (Todd Bentley) does all of this "christian psychic network" crap but if a psychic showed up at his meeting you better believe he would be "casting the demon of divination" out of them.  I am not being critical of his beliefs I mean you can believe whatever you want.  What I am being critical of is the hypocrisy. I am tired of the lying and manipulation done in the name of Christ.
