A controversial pastor's conference welcoming only "white Christians" is underway in Lamar County, Ala., upsetting residents of the nearby town of Winfield in the western part of the state.

Discuss....(popcorn) -
didn't read but fuck you I'll post in whatever thread I want
-
and lol, Alabama gonna Alabama
-
Why do we care so much about what pastors priests and other religious types with relatively no power do?
Never heard of them beforehand never hear from them again, doesnt affect your daily life.
Fuck em. -
I love that the first posters itt weren't white. Take that whitey!
-
Pretty sure all the posters besides OP arent "white"
-
i'll pray about getting this fixed immediately
-
chinese people go back to yuuuuuuuuur country, we caint understand what your saaaayinnnnnnnnn
white power -
but i mean, who would really not like this idea?
-
Maybe Oh Rale can give a trip report.

Oh look... it's the weekly "post a story about some idiot who claims to be a Christian, but really doesn't represent the vast majority of Christians and their values and beliefs, or religious people in general, and then have a fifty page thread bashing religion". Even better if the idiot also happens to be in the south, then we can denigrate and stereotype religious people AND southerners all in the same thread. Weeeeeeeee I see nothing's changed during my six month hiatus from OT :P
-
oh look, it's ECUgirl getting preemptively butthurt at some perceived slight against Southerners and/or religion. I see nothing's changed during my 5 years of posting in OT :P
-
ECU nailed it. These and the "How many dumps do you take a day" threads are the worst.
-
Not butthurt at all. My attempt at humor obviously failed :)
-
Will this pastor get into heaven?

I have no way of knowing that and it's not my call anyway. Do I think this pastor represents how Christians are supposed to treat their fellow man, or the principles and teachings of Jesus Christ? Not at all, which would lead me to question the sincerity of his profession of faith, and that of his followers, at this point in time.
-
There may not be change, but we still got hope, right, right?
-
these people are clearly idiots so it's fine to poke fun at them. but anyone with half a brain knows that these folks are not truly representing christianity or the south. im not one to get in the way of yall that wanna bash whatever you wanna bash though. it really hasnt been that bad lately, ecu but i know what you mean.
-
That's good! It could be because I haven't been around to try to educate and bring a different perspective to these discussions. I think my attempts have largely failed, but maybe one person has come away with a more open mind as a result of my sticking the big fat red target on my head :)

I'm curious what my status is. -
At least they don't hide behind white sheets...
They are more transparent than the Government... -
John 3:16 is the short answer. If your question is serious, feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to discuss the long answer with you (and that goes for anyone else as well).

That badge is sexy.
