Thoughts and prayers!
Oh wait… no, he’s doing a fundraiser

Sorry dude but your god meant this to be. Its all part of his plan, right?
I was going to say, having grown up in a very religious family I thought the general mantra was “everything happens for a reason” and “god is in control” or some shit.
So glad I got out of that…
Yeah, he won’t give you anything you can’t handle.
When he’s in prison I hope somebody tells him
“You are exactly where you are meant to be” and gives that fucking smirk that Tim Tebow and Mike “manipulatin’ my” Johnson have.
More seriously, this means he’s next to plead. Looking at your best case scenario being bankruptcy and permanent penury has to really make you wonder whether you’re really prepared to go straight down the line.
well, the plan is to grift imbeciles out of more of their hard earned cash. so it’s going right along.
But on Thursday night at an evangelical church near Chicago, dozens of people held their arms aloft and prayed over Pastor Lee at a fund-raiser where he was portrayed as an American hero — and a victim of religious persecution.
I’m an ex-fundigelical, so I can say this with all certainty: doing something illegal you think Yahweh told you to do and getting punished for it is not religious persecution. It’s justice.
On the bright side, prayer doesn’t do shit, and there’s even some evidence that it makes outcomes worse, so get fucked!
Glad you got out!
Me too. Still working through the trauma, but at least I no longer have to deal with the mental gymnastics of why an allegedly good god would allow people to trample and harass others in its name.
On the bright side, prayer doesn’t do shit, and there’s even some evidence that it makes outcomes worse, so get fucked!
what pisses me off the most is; how they always give credit to god for something god had absolutely nothing to do with. Bust your hump to afford a better life? nope. god. Doctor performed a surgery flawlessly? god. Airplane pilot does his freaking job and lands you safely? Cheer for god!
You have some life changing need? god works in mysterious ways.
They have some life changing need? Congregation must come together in a show of unity to fund a solution.
Conversely, you get fucked over or something bad happens: you’re being tested or you didn’t pay hard enough.
Or my favorite: you deserved it because you’re a sinner.
Tax the church.
Oh now they want Socialism!
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and pay for it yourself!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But on Thursday night at an evangelical church near Chicago, dozens of people held their arms aloft and prayed over Pastor Lee at a fund-raiser where he was portrayed as an American hero — and a victim of religious persecution.
“We’re going to be talking about the weaponization of government against religion,” Gary S. Franchi, Jr., a host on a conservative online news channel, declared from the pulpit at Families of Faith Ministries in Channahon, Ill., at the start of the event.
He says he has offered spiritual support to police officers and victims after some of the worst American tragedies of the last quarter-century, including the mass shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado and the Sept. 11 attack in New York.
In an interview earlier this year, Mr. Shestokas said that his client did so “on his own,” and that he had not coordinated with other high-profile co-defendants like Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff, or Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former Trump lawyer who amplified the false claims about Ms. Freeman.
Soon after, video footage of the pair handling ballots was posted online and shared widely among Trump supporters, who claimed falsely that it showed the two women recording bogus votes to skew the election in President Biden’s favor.
Mr. Floyd, who was also indicted in the Georgia case, later told Reuters that “a chaplain with federal law enforcement connections” had asked him to arrange a meeting with Ms. Freeman to discuss the prospect of an “immunity deal.”
