Save Me… from organized Charlatans!

This week’s examination of faith-based lunacy comes in a family-friendly ‘value’ package of three.

A) National Baptist Convention USA, the oldest and largest African American religious convention in America, with an estimated membership of 7.5 million, is holding its convention in Detroit this weekend. What is unique about this particular gathering is that the former leader of this group, Rev. Henry Lyons, who was convicted of, “Racketeering and grand theft and sentenced to prison for bilking nearly $4 million from corporations seeking business with the convention and stealing nearly $250,000 donated by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith for burned Black churches in the South” has returned and is once again seeking the organization’s leadership.

Maybe its just Detroit, which persistently fields politicians like former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who was found guilty of obstruction of justice, or Councilwoman Monica Conyers, wife of Congressmen John Conyers Jr. (D-MI), who recently pled guilty to bribery and conspiracy charges. Regardless, what I find so luminating is how so many conservative black Americans are willing to endorse and accommodate the rise of these predators in both their spiritual and political lives. Apparently God does work in mysterious ways…


B) Turning from crooked black theologians to crazy-train riding black parishioners is the following case of a Gay-Exorcism in Connecticut. Having enjoyed the cinematic release of ”A Haunting in Connecticut” the locals went looking for and found some juicy gay-demon ass to kick (albeit in the form of a sixteen year old boy). The accompaning youtube video shows the child to be writhing in pain on the floor and vomiting. A church elder shouts, “Right now in the name of Jesus, I call the homosexuality, right now in the name of Jesus.”


C) The final story shows that religious quackery knows no racial barrier is of a Louisville, Kentucky pastor who is encouraging his flock to come lock n’ loaded to his holy house of worship. Obviously, he has been in touch with the folks in Connecticut, who know them Damn’ Gay Demons could be lurking everywhere, even under a church pew. Chris W. Cox, legislative director of the NRA proudly states, “We have right-to-carry laws in over 40 states; 20 years ago, it was in just six.”

These right-wing half-wits, have been responsible over the years for fire-bombing black attended churches, shooting “liberal” congregationists, and most recently murdering an abortion doctor, while he was in his own church. So it makes complete sense, why these people need guns at their churches. Obviously they have to defend themselves against the black-helicopter owning liberal swine that are relentlessly hunting them down to eliminate their cherished gun-totting liberties. What else could it be?

God bless America.
