Donnie Davies: Take My Hand

CHOP CHOP!

YES! Ladies, Gentlemen, and those of indeterminate gender! It’s the triumphant return of musical preacher Donnie Davies of Love God’s Way Ministry, originator of the world-famous CHOPS program (Changing Homosexuals into Ordinary People), and singer of the top radio hit God Hates a Fag. Here he is with his new, uplifting single Take My Hand.

Can’t you just feel the love?

What Would Jesus Do?

Probably bail him out, the softie! Then again, he might be busy taking Dad to his parole hearing.

Authorities began investigating God… in April, and he was arrested on Saturday.

Where is your god now?

From NBC30:

South Windsor police arrested Almighty Supremebeing Allah on drug charges…Almighty Supremebeing Allah, who lives in West Hartford, was accused of cocaine possession with intent to sell.

West Hartford, Connecticut? Huh. I’d have lost a bet.

But wait! Jesus can’t do anything! Jesus is missing!

Missing: One 45-kilogram concrete statue of Jesus.

Colchester County RCMP are asking for the public’s help to find the missing statue, stolen from a cemetery in Middle Stewiacke, just outside Truro.

Don’t worry. A lot of people have faith that Jesus will return.

Blame Australia

Darth Vader and Priests

Okay, WTF?

And I do not say WTF? lightly. I only break out the WTF? for truly WTF?-worthy occasions.

Such as this one.

WTF?

I blame Australia. Weren’t the Aussies the ones who got Jediism recognized as a religion? Yes, it’s a real religion now. And so Darth Vader is either their Pope or their Anton LaVey, depending on your perspective. So, naturally, from that point ten years ago to this it’s an easy stroll to this photo, which was apparently (my Icelandic is somewhat rusty; Paging Bjork!?!?!?!) snapped at a 100% legit ecumenical networking meeting.

Which is not to imply that there is a samizdat or heretical ecumenical meeting underground, although that would be post-worthy as well, if somewhat of a logical impossibility. But we have certainly never let impossibility or logic stop us, as Metro will be only too happy to attest in the comments.

UPDATE:

Bloody Hell! None of the major online translators have an Icelandic-to-English web page translation service. Why, this is SCANDALOUS! SCANDALOUS, I tell you! I finally found one at InterTran, praise be to Cthulhu!
