Way to fact-check, Osteen
May 23, 2016 at 2:27 pm
From the 'You Couldn't Make It Up' files:
Joel Osteen gives xtian award to heavy metal band Lamb of God, not realising that they're not a xtian group.
Quote:It was obvious by those in attendance that Osteen was not familiar with the group, having referred to them as a ‘well known country band’.
[. . .]
Osteen praised Lamb of God for “spreading the good word” and sharing “good christian values” in his speech when presenting the band (who performs ‘Walk With Me In Hell’) with the award at his church.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

That's beautiful.

I agree; Snopes is head of my bookmarks.

I'm curious if you looked for this article in snopes?
Also, did you look very closely at the picture of Osteen wearing the T-Shirt?

Haha That's awesome. Before they were Lamb of God, they were Burn the Priest.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Not to derail but good to see you Ex.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Excellent choice in any case, and they are great live as well!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Oh, thanks man. You too. I'm trying to be less of a stranger.
