I am responding to an old comment but I have the perfect retort to that, Karma. Ask that preacher why Jesus Christ Himself had long hair. BTW there is nothing in the Bible requiring men to cut their hair (or women to not cut their hair for that matter). Also, God doesn’t “hate” homosexuals, being homosexual won’t even keep a person out of Heaven. I will leave the part about it being sinful to smoke cigarettes to others, the Bible doesn’t mention it directly but you are supposed to take care of yourself as best you can. Either way, smoking cigarettes won’t keep you out of Heaven, either.

Those televangelists will say the dumbest shit like “according to the bible boys should have short haircuts and not long hair”, “the bible says don’t smoke cigarettes”, or “god hates homosexuals”.

Kelli and Joe, I couldn’t agree more. Jim Bakker is so screwed up that I took the article as fact. You never know what Jim Bakker and Pat Robertson types will claim. Simply starting the article with “this is satire” would have been a better idea than publishing it as-is. Since Sam is new here and has only been a journalist a couple of months I will give him/her a pass here. I think he/she has probably learned his/her lesson on this one, I doubt he/she will write an article like this again without clearly identifying it as satire.

Well I thought it seemed like parody … but since it was posted here I decided it must have been authentic

Careful , if you do too much of this you will lose credibility

Just make a note it is satire and we can have a laugh with it .

Agreed. It’s not good form. I AM glad that it was an actual satirical site though, and not a “genuine” fake news site. 🙂

It’s really a function of how dishonest tele-evangelists have been in the past (even, specifically the one in the article) that made this story “believable”.

I will talk to the powers that be about asking posters here at this site to be more careful about posting parody/satire fake ass news articles in the future. It’s a huge HUGE huge pet peeve of mine.

Someone copied an article from a site that clearly Identifies itself as “Trusted Source For Christian News Satire” and pasted it here. Don’t even need Snopes, just click the link in the post.

Oh Good. I was SO worried that Trump’s interests were prurient. I thought i was going to have to console myself that his porn star was lily white and they only did it in missionary position. Now I find out, he was ACTUALLY positioning himself as a missionary. Wow, what a guy!

If you just read Bakker’s words without knowing who said them, it plays like a parody. Someone using huge sarcasm to make fun of Trump. Kind of like the old excuse of “Sorry Honey, I read Playboy for the articles”.

But Jim Bakker is nuts, a Pat Robertson type that believes and spouts unfounded nonsense all the time.

This is hilarious though. Trump supporters will jump all over this. Yeah, our Dear Leader invited a porn star escort to his hotel to SAVE HER SOUL. 100 grand payoff probably helped save something for Stormy.

Haha.
