Dog Bites Man (3)
Continuing on our theme of news that isn't particularly surprising, Southern Baptists at their national festival of hate convention were "fired up" by their new leader, a Birmingham-area pastor, yesterday. He apparently has a direct connection to the Almighty:
"God does not approve of same-sex marriage!" the Rev. Steve Gaines, pastor of First Baptist Church in Gardendale, thundered during the convention sermon. "There is no way God endorses any kind of marriage except a man and a woman."
Wow. He actually knows what God is thinking? Amazing. Tell me, Steve, did God give you any tips on who's going to win the World Series this year?
Although the nation faces the threat of international terrorism, that's not as dangerous as Massachusetts Supreme Court justices ruling that gay marriage is legal, he said.
Yes, I think it's clear what the bigger threat is.

This guy is the preacher at my mother's Six Flags Over Jesus church, which includes a gymnasium and a bookstore (where said preacher's book of morning devotionals is available for sale). I suppose when the secession comes and the Christian Republic of Alabama breaks loose, it'll be good to have family close to the Ayatollah...
