Did she say that her church was “nondenominal”? I think I’m more concerned about her lack of basic grammar skills than anything.

With her repeated comment that “everything has a spirit,” Ms McKinney betrays the pagan-like animism that lies at the heart of religious fundamentalism. So much for Christianity’s vaunted opposition to paganism!

[...] Concerning the “gay exorcism” I blogged about earlier, the pastor of Manifested Glory Ministries in Bridgeport, CT has finally stopped being coy about the video they’d posted online but then yanked when people actually paid attention to it. Pastor Patricia McKinney appeared on CNN to “explain” what happened. (Not that she actually “explained” anything.) Video of this train-wreck interview can be viewed at the Friendly Atheist blog.

Maybe one day she’ll meet someone with the sensibility spirit and have her asswipe spirits driven out.

LittleJohn, I asked if you were advocating rape because much violence against women IS rape. Based on your first post, I had every right to ask that. I asked for clarification, and I got it. There was no need to be an ass about things. I don’t mince words. If I wanted to call you a rapist, I would have. Once again, stay classy and stop with the rudeness.

Valdemar,
Just wondering, are you old enough to remember the 1969 moon landing? I’m an old guy, and I remember it well. it’s nice to be reminded.
During the last 8 years, I haven’t felt very good about being a Yank. Under the Bush years, we were arrogant bullies.
The race to the moon was politically motivated, of course, but it also was scientifically significant and something the whole human race can feel good about.
It’s nice to be reminded.
I was 15 and watching on a black-and-white TV, the audio unclear and the image flickering. But there we were, no doubt about it, walking on the damn moon!
Thanks for a pleasant memory.
Looks like we might go back sometime soon. I hope we do it with less jingoism and more international cooperation.
Cheers, John
P.S.: I’d like to think that at least one of those heros was secretly gay.

Forty years ago, the USA sent an expedition to the Moon. As a Brit, I keep that wonderful, secular achievement in mind when I see this kind of thing.

But is it really so surprising? So-called mainstream Christians have the same basic attitude to gays – that they are wicked, that they’ve made a ‘mistaken choice’ in lifestyle, and can be converted to straightitude. It’s lunacy, totally unsupported by scientific fact or common experience, but it’s more acceptable lunacy than this undiluted craziness.

Anonymous,
You called me a rapist.
Apologize or shut up.

To me this seemed just like the conventional “beating a guy because he is gay”. But that interview surely made it different. It’s her kind of people that make me wonder if we can really rely on civilized discussion after all. How do you solve the problems of different moral or political views with her? You start talking sens and she brings her troops to exercise the “intelligence demon” out of you?
