An Anti-Gay Preacher In My Hometown Was Busted On Grindr
Quote:A Michigan pastor who has publicly railed against gay marriage has resigned from his post after being outed for soliciting sex from men through an app geared toward gay, bisexual and bi-curious men.

The Rev. Matthew Makela made the announcement on Sunday in a letter to the congregation at St. John's Lutheran Church and School in Midland after he was outed by the gay and lesbian entertainment website Queerty.

These stories are always fun, but it just seems so much sweeter when it happens in your backyard.  We have too many self-righteous preachers in this area as it is.

Hahahah I heard about that!
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

My sister and I were laughing about this guy over dinner last night. His exchanges are so awkward, and the fact that the church advised the congregation not to look at the stuff about him online just sealed the Streisand Effect on this one.

That is well put.  Homophobia is gay, and there have been scientific studies showing that to be the case.  A man who is rabidly homophobic is almost certainly gay himself.

I especially like this part...

Quote:In a letter posted on the St. John's church website, the church's senior pastor, the Rev. Daniel Kempin tells parishioners that Makela "has acknowledged that there was sin and repentance, and I have testified that there is indeed forgiveness through the same Lord who forgives all our sins."

If god so easily forgives you for liking dick, why were prattling on about how bad it is in the first place?

All that's going through my head is:

Anti-gay pastor is a bottom, more at 11.

Seriously, FUCK this guy.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
