Proof that the pressure of being a hypocrite is enough to break most people. 

This is the inevitable, logical conclusion to taking a vow of celibacy.

Baptists take a vow of celibacy? That's a new one to me.

Baptist... Catholic... Hindu... whatever.

More proof.  It's been a good year for scandals by idiots who think repressing people for things they're too scared to face themselves is a way to make a living.

ZOMG I CAN'TS BELIEVES IT!!!

Least surprising development ever...

The wearing of a skirt makes me laugh more than any oral sex demands or DUI.

You've obviously never been a Baptist.  Vows of chastity and piety are almost enforced religiously (har har) on ALL members of the congregation.  Just make sure no one catches you doing it and it is all right.  Sex is practically next to blasphemy on the sin list (unless you are married and the girl is on bottom).  Drug addicts and alcoholics get more respect than deflowered teenagers in the Baptist church...

So what do you hate more, the public aspect of faith, or the fact that he got caught doing something deviant. Would this make news if he wasn't a declared member of the church? I'm not defending this man, because I can't. He has his own issues to work out, as do we all. I long, however, for a day when Christianity can go back to something we don't speak openly about on every street corner in every opportunity. I long for a day when we can live without faith healers, and TV preachers, and false idols. I just want the faith back. I want what's simple in a world of hypocrisy.

Dude, if your faith is contingent on the shenanigans of southern baptist deviant preachers, you're up the creek to start with. If you really want to practice Christianity, practice Christianity, and stop worrying about what false hypocryts do.

Oh and let the rest of us laugh at the ones that get caught with their skirts up.

False dichotomy. What makes it interesting is the confluence of both.


What day was that exactly? January 1st of 0 AD? At least in the US we've always had some sort of TV preacher equivalent.

That's what happens when you drink cheap vodka... eeerrrrr

Anyone who's ever been a member of a Baptist Church can tell you that admitting to drinking is the worst sin ever. If this man had been a true Baptist instead of a charlatan, he'd have left the Vodka bottle at home.

I lol at the idea of "true" baptist. Christian side-projects are weird to me.

Entering Rehab in 3...2...1...

He wasn't drinking the vodka- it was just to wash the cock taste out of his mouth.

Eh, I have a friend who is a pastor in a "Southern" Baptist church. His senior pastor might frown upon it, but he tells me dabbles in the alcohol on occasion, and will even offer to fellow church goers. I kid him on how Jesus could never be a "Southern" Baptist, with prohibition and all interfering with making and consuming wine, as Jesus did. The spurious claims that it was just grape juice that serve as retorts, to me signify small mindedness on the matter…

I like to drink, gamble and swear. What religion can I be a part of?

Apparently you can be Southern Baptist, or a reformed Jew.

Shit, drink gamble and swear? Reform, Conservative, New Age, Jew for Jesus, Orthodox, Hassidic - they all drink, gamble and swear.

Heh.  I always think that people who grew up either Catholic or Jewish understand each other.  For one thing, we have the crushing guilt we've grown up under, and for another, we understand tradition.  If you claim to be a Christian and you're not either Catholic or Orthodox then you belong to a whacky, heretical splinter group.  Of course, Christianity itself is a whacky, heretical splinter group, but I put a 1000 year statue of limitation on religious affairs, so Protestant groups still have about 500 more years to go.

What about fornication and blasphemy??

He can still be a good Southern Baptist.  The key is to not do these things openly as it's all about decorum.  Alone with your buds or the preacher is perfectly fine.

Catholicism. Read Bocaccio's Decameron for more hilarity.

But sister, we need to put the devil into hell. You like putting the devil into hell, don't you?
