God hates a fag, but Andrew Sullivan loves Donnie Davies

The very reverend Mr. Donnie Davies has posted a new video at YouTube in response to all the controversy over his church, Love God’s Way, their CHOPS program for de-gaying people, his band, Evening Service, and their original song The Bible Says whose video was censored by the Tube. (backstory here and once fallen, now arisen video here)

Let’s go to the Tubes for a look at some quotes, shall we?

“…thank you so much, Andrew Sullivan, for getting behind me…
…I’ve lost 120 lbs. I was born with a thyriod disorder, my whole family has it, it’s a genetic disorder, and sometimes I try so hard to control those urges, but I just can’t. I was born this way. But people still want to lampoon me about it and I think that is a terrible, ugly way to live…”

quiz: which classic dame are you?

Check this out, unbelievers! I stole this delightful little test from View from the Event Horizon.

 Gentlemen, what are you all doing on the floor?

Barbara Stanwyck
You scored 33% grit, 23% wit, 42% flair, and 9% class!

You’re a tough dame, a bit of a spitfire, and you can even be a little dangerous, but you do it with such flair that almost all is forgiven (and even when it’s not, you’re still the most interesting woman in the room). You can be witty and charming, all right, but you have a tough streak that keeps you focused and sometimes deadly. You’ve had quite a climb to get where you are, but you’re a hard worker and you mostly deserve all you get…and then some. You might end up destroying everything around you, but you must admit…you’ve got style.
Your leading men include Henry Fonda, Fred MacMurray, and when you forget yourself, Gary Cooper.
Find out what kind of classic leading man you’d make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.
Why, yes. You CAN buy them for me.My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on grit
 
 You scored higher than 99% on wit
 
 You scored higher than 99% on flair
 
 You scored higher than 99% on class 

Yeah, suck on that, haterz! I’m classy!

God hates fags

Donnie Davies, straightening teh gheys like an orthodontist for your eros!Donnie Davies says so, and sang so, so, so very eloquently that it brought tears to the eyes of many a listener for many a happy hour until tragedy struck.

YouTube hates Donnie Davies.

It’s true.

Well friends, YouTube took down the video that Evening Service and I have worked so hard on. I don’t know what hurts more; being censored because of my message or people making fun of my weight. Hopefully MySpace believes in freedom of expression more than Google does. Maybe China isn’t the only country Google is censoring. ;-)

Spread the Word
Keep the Faith

Donnie D.

ps. If any of ya’ll post the video anywhere else please tell us!

(Oh, you mean like here?)

Donnie Davies, PastorDavies on AIM if you’re looking to chat (paging Mark Foley!), heads up Love God’s Way, an organization of passionately engaged Christians with a mission to help the bent go straight. They have helpful lists of Gay Bands (Eminem! Who knew???Oh, my mistake: he’s talking about Em in men!) and Safe Bands (Cyndi Lauper: again, who knew???) Here is a pullquote from their program page, CHOPS.

“Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one centre of pain.”
–Oscar Wilde (reformed homosexual)

So What is This About?

C.H.O.P.S is the powerful new program developed by Christian Youth expert Donnie Davies. C.H.O.P.S stands for CHANGING HOMOSEXUALS into ORDINARY PEOPLE…

You are not alone and guess what, God Loves You even if he hates your Homosexuality. You just can’t stay that way. Let me help you love yourself. Follow me and together we’ll C.H.O.P.S away the Gay.

And, from Davies’ own personal website:

Oscar Wilde, my hero, was a reformed homosexual. He went to prison for his sins. Once he was alone with his thouhgts, in jail, he saw the errors of his ways and repented. He died as a Christian. While I’m not advocating jailing all Homosexuals, I do think it would benefit them greatly. It would be for their own good. When a person is forced to think they will generally be able to see their problems and solve them by themselves.

Davies‘ band, the aptly-titled “Evening Service” recorded their touching tune “The Bible Says” only today, but after only a brief flowering of press attention YouTube pulled the plug. Right now, it’s up on Evening Service‘s page here (for now). Anybody got a good capture program?

For an update on Donnie and his crusade, click here.

Let’s go to the lyrics, which I have in full over the jump:

Read the bible and you’ll be sure
To enter heaven. There’s no back door.
Oh righteous man, go down on your knees,
there lies no virtue in sodomy…
God hates a fag. God hates a fag.
God hates a fag.

If you’re a fag, He hates you too.

Well, I think it’s Cristal clear that, among a certain crowd, those lyrics would be packing quite a punch. Indeed, the viral spread of this video (#78 on YouTube today) recorded by a raggedy-assed crew at Studio #54 shows that it had really touched the global village, people, and in a very special way.

We shall give the good Reverend the last word; here is his introductory video, still miraculously untouched on YouTube. But it’s only a matter of time before it’s chaste offline.

quiz: which Edgar Allan Poe poem are you?

Not a whole lot to choose from in this quiz, but what the hell…it’s Shebeen Club day, I’ve got two job applications and a report do to before I go to bed, and I’m running around like a raven with my tiny birdie teeth ripped out. That’s a doubly-obscure reference, for those of you who think Poe is a waiflike Nineties singer.

You scored as Annabel Lee. Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe was dubbed as Lenore, Annabel Lee, and others in her husbands poems. She was his child bride who died when Poe was 38. He died two years later. this poem shows that love has an extreme importance to you, and even if that love stops, it never dies.

the facts of life

You called?  

and the fact is, in a perfect world the facts of life are revealed to your delicately budding sensibilities in the presence of none other than America’s Sweetheart and Sexiest Man Alive, George Clooney

I, apparently, grew up in a perfect world. And so did you. Who knew?

what is he doing with that hand? Can he come over and do it here?

The simple fact of life for George Clooney, however, is that the poor man will never, as long as he lives and no matter what he achieves, including Oscars, Sexiest Man Alive Hall of Fame status, earning a coveted internship on the good ship Fugger, even achieving the Presidency, bringing about world peace and/or saving the planet from paparazzi/mutants/asteroids/misunderstood minorities gone bad, he will never live down this haircut.

Work that mullet, boy!

You take the gel,
You take the bangs,
You take them both and there you have the ‘do Clooney.
The view ew-ee!
That's quite the Flock of Seagulls quiff, dear

There’s a time you gotta go afro
You’re growin’ out,
You know about the blowdryer.
Oh no, feathers!

When the look never seems,
To be working without the Brylcreem.
And suddenly you’re finding out,
The Caesar look will help you out.
The greying works too.
Hot Dippity-do!
A goatee pour vous?

It takes Christophe to get it right,
But you’re learnin the facts of life.
Learnin the facts of life.
Learnin the facts of life.
Learnin the facts of li-fe.

Tootie, as usual, gets the best lines.
