Fellow Unbelievers:

Here WBT 1110 AM, the Charlotte Conservative talk radio station, uses the morning news program to remember the “complicated” legacy of Jim Bakker and PTL. (To avoid beginning falderal, start listening at about 29:00.)

I think a bucket is a more appropriate coffin for Bakker than a matchbox.

A bucket would be good for Jim Bakker, especially after the flock of sheeple wake up to the fact that they can easily preserve their own food and probably more to their own tastes and dietary needs.

They could buy a dehydrator or an air fryer with a dehydrator mode…[Read more]

Here’s another one from 1983, Martin Briley “Just Put Your Hands on the Screen” that could either be a parody of either Peter Popoff or Benny Hinn:

You might be thinking of Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, The Other White Sepulcred Meat™:

Pop-Up Video Factoid: There is a sausage brand and company called Swaggarty’s Farm. Unknown if was an enterprise of his, but like Bobby Zimmy, I wouldn’t to work on any Swaggart’s Farm…or *ahem!* see how the…[Read more]

Here’s one from Genesis in the early Ninties, with addendums from Rev. Earnest Angley at the beginning and end:

Then there this one from Huey Lewis and The News, written by Bruce Hornsby. No comedic portayals but thought-provoking lyrics:

Jim and Tammy did inspire some great videos in the Eighties, (Health warning: Possibly not for the seizure-prone):

Jake:

Ya know Enco one way you can decipher how F’d up our values are is to observe how sex is more taboo than sadistic violence. In the west in films i think that is the tendency. Oh my what if kids see adults screwing! Meanwhile their churches are talking about eternal torture and torment in hell while their cartoons and tv shows depict v…

Fellow Unbelievers:

Welp, time to prepare another enema and matchbox coffin.

I missed this a few days ago with the stories of our present mess. All of the PTL scandal of the 70s and 80s happened within driving distance for me:

I can’t watch footage of Oct. 7. It reminds me of pics of lynchings of Blacks in USA when the entire population of Christians are entertained by the joyous diversion. There is a rapture about the Palestinian degradation and humiliation of Israelis that illuminates their degenerate ideology.

That video was the only one I’ve seen from O…[Read more]

Reg:

Yes, I will post the story later. FYI – Sorry, I posted a very recent video of his, not the one he gave in Dublin.

Whenever you can tell the story is fine. And I enjoyed the video of AronRa you posted. He’s absolutely correct about the Christian Nationalist/Christian Reconstructionist/MAGA crowd, even though he’s very naive about “…[Read more]

Reg:

Some years later we “went for a Guinness” after this talk. I have a good war story from that one, which I can recount, if you like.

Sure. After seeing October 7 victims, a lighter story is very much welcome.

AronRa is a great teacher when he discusses both biblical criticism, biology, and science in general. There’s so much detail in…[Read more]

October 7, 2023 felt real enough just hearing the description of events on the radio.

Hearing that it was the biggest pogrom of Jews in a single day since the Holocaust was enough to make my heart sink.

Reading that people from 52 other nations were attacked, kidnapped, and murdered made it a possibility for any of us.*

As a clarification to O’Brien and Marks, Tucker Carlson no longer supports Trump and MAGA in part because Tucker regards Trump as a puppet of Bibi and Israel.

Tucker’s America First allies also no longer support Trump and MAGA, namely Nick Furntes, Marjorie Taylor Green, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and former counterterrorism official Joe…[Read more]

Sacre Dieu!. A society of month-long vacations, four-day work weeks, free education, Socialized Medicine, and womb-to-tomb support for all citizens and all who can make it over the borders has not done the French any good:

To answer Ol’ Schickelgruber’s notorious question:
“Yep! Paris is…[Read more]
