Phoenix pastor says church shouldn’t help ‘single mother whores’

Far-right Phoenix pastor Steven Anderson garnered attention on X saying that “‘single mother’ whores” don’t deserve a helping hand from Christian churches.

“I would be pissed if I donated to a church & found out that they were giving the Lord’s money to ‘single mother’ whores,” wrote Anderson, who is the pastor at Faithful Word Baptist Church. “I would want it to go to the Lord’s work or toward helping godly Christians who are in need. Churches should not be funding fornicators and their bastards.”

Anderson has more than 24,000 followers on the site. His tweet has been viewed 200,000 times, according to X’s metrics, and has generated more than 400 likes. Screenshots of the tweet, posted by alarmed X users, have gone much more viral.

Anderson’s Faithful Word Baptist Church, which used to be located in a strip mall, is now housed in Phoenix’s warehouse district at a former movie theater on Van Buren Street and 33rd Avenue. Anderson said in a video posted to X that between 200 and 300 people attend the church’s services.

Back in 2009, Anderson’s church attracted roughly a hundred protesters after he gave a sermon titled “Why I Hate Barack Obama,” in which he called on his parish to pray for the president’s death.

Well, of course being a fornicating whore is the only possible reason why a woman would be a single mother. 

It's gonna be funny as fuck when Reverend Steve's side piece gets pregnant and she goes to the media because he won't kick in for diapers.  Even funnier when he DOES agree to pay for an abortion.

Christianity Today has a hagiographic article on Alvin Plantinga. Let's take a little look.

Plantinga has been called “America’s leading orthodox Protestant philosopher of God,” “arguably the greatest philosopher of the last century,” and simply “God’s philosopher.”

LoL, really? The greatest fucking philosopher of XX century? So I guess Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Martin Heidegger, and Jean-Paul Sartre can all take a hike.

He is one of the of the most-cited contemporary philosophers in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Even on the link they provide he's number 30, which isn't exactly the top. And I guess that it wasn't for his religious baloney.

Once the positivist strictures about talking about God were removed, philosophical theology flourished as it has not since the middle ages.

So once they removed any logic and/ or verifiable evidence (because that is what positivism means) their philosophy flourished. Well, something flourished, but it was not philosophy.

Plantinga went so far as to make the case that it was rational to believe in God without evidence or a good argument—or any argument. 

No shit, Sherlock. Once you remove all the logic and verifiable evidence, you are left with nothing but a blind, mindless faith which you then call a philosophy because it sounds fancy.

In a July social media post, Tidwell said that his eighth child, the first with his second wife, is the fulfillment of prophetic promise.

“When Kristan and I met and began courting, she received a prophecy from the Lord that our first child together would be a daughter and her name was to be ‘Grace.’ She wrote it down and gave it to me for safe keeping,” wrote Tidwell.

As a matter of no import, I went to high school my junior and senior years in one-horse town Canton, MO.

This may be the wrong thread for this, but what does anyone think of the 'atheist' YouTuber Alex O Connor? Seems like a total sellout to me, or a wannabe, or both. In one of his latest videos he claims in it's title "Christianity is more plausible than I thought", but the content of the video just came across to me as wishful thinking on his part, rather than any real argument for it.

This is true. He has been called that. I used to have a dog I called ‘Princess’. Didn’t mean she was one.

He is one of the of the most-cited contemporary philosophers in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Considering that the Encyclopedia cites over 2000 philosophers, this is also true, if not particularly relevant.

Once the positivist strictures about talking about God were removed, philosophical theology flourished as it has not since the middle ages.

It made sense to remove those strictures, since immaterial beings aren’t amenable to logical positivism. Doing so also allowed philosopher like Plantinga to continue to publish without being laughed at (or not as much).

I expect so, but I’m no real judge of philosophers.
