Alabama Preacher Admits having AIDS, Sleeps with Flock
October 9, 2014 at 4:43 pm
And no, not a flock of sheep as you might first assume.
You can't make this stuff up:
Quote:An Alabama pastor shocked his flock by reportedly confessing from the pulpit that he has AIDS, had slept with church members, used drugs and misused funds. Rev. Juan Demetrius McFarland of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Montgomery confirmed to NBC affiliate WSFA that he made the admissions in a series of sermons that began in September. Deacon Nathan Williams said the church membership voted 80-1 to remove McFarland as pastor on Oct. 5, but he refused to step down.
And the bastard won't step down, no doubt because it's not "God's will".

These morons are almost as slow to act as Jesus.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Why even have a vote if the dude can just say "Nah fuck off, God told me."

I'm guessing the lone dissenting vote was the pastor's own.
Apparently in Alabama, it's only a minor misdemeanor to spread an STD, even AIDS.

Quote:"He concealed from the church that he had knowingly engaged in adultery in the church building with female members of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church while knowingly having AIDS," Williams said.
Wow. We're not fucking around here. One question: why would he just explain all this to his congregation? I didn't know they let Bond villains become preachers. Child molesters, sure, but not Bond villains.

What is the point of voting if the vote isn't actually enforceable?

Yeah, adultery is the least of his crimes. You would think infecting someone with potentially fatal disease might trump fornicating.

God did say go forth and multiply. AIDS virus was duly multiplied.

Quote:Church leaders tried to change the locks on the door, but were confronted by McFarland and a supporter who declared they were banned from the premises and would face "castle law" if they tried to attend services, said the deacons' lawyer, Kenneth Shinbaum. "They're worried if they show up to church, they could get shot," he said. "Unless the pastor steps down voluntarily, this may very well end up in court."

It doesn't occur to any of these folks that going to a church is voluntary? If the Preacher is a fuck-wad take your tithes and go down the street. Its the South, there is a church on every corner and most of them have plenty of room every Sunday morning.
