Praise Scum!

Is it me or creating new Churches is becoming a fad? When I watch late night TV I was able to watch music video clips, telemarketing or instructional excercise. But NOOOOOOO... today we see Jesse Duplantis, Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn all preaching their Televangelistic view upon the world. Thats right, we can learn the ways of God through the magic of television. Somehow, people like these believe they are annointed by God to lead the flock and to prepare them for the return of Christ! Yep! They can teach us the way to salvation, just like they have been through, for all for the cheap price of $300! Whats that? $300 too much? We are talking about your soul here! Here's a quote from Jesse Duplantis' website "Do you know Jesus? We're not asking if you know about Jesus, we want to know if you know Him! There's a difference! Years ago, Jesse Duplantis came to the knowledge of Jesus after watching a minister on television share God's love - and it completely changed his life. He'd grown up all his life hearing about God, but after that experience in 1974 he could say, "I know Him. He has come into my life and changed my heart." The experience showed him that anybody, no matter how bad, could be changed by the power of God." Hmmmm, so this guy was educated by the radioactive box too. Can we trust him? Does he deserve our money? What does he offer that the free services of a good, non-profit REAL chruch can't? The Catholic Church offers counsel through its priests. Offers advice for the people. All for FREE! For those who haven't seen Jesse Duplantis (and i doubt anyone has), his sermons resemble more of a stand-up gig than a educational sermon. He doesnt teach stuff, he makes jokes, whines about his wife and kids and offers useless topical discussion. All for a fee, of course... Is Church meant to be exciting? Is it meant to be fun? Maybe having a fun Church is better than those that take themselves very seriously....you have all heard of those cults that make everyone kill themselves. Those are real seriously bad Churches. So, having a Church that has fun isn't that bad. Maybe a Jerry Seinfeld Ministry is around the corner. Now as some readers may know...i HATE scum. Scum is the scum of the Earth. Which, coincedentally is a Church Yes, the Church of SCUM OF THE EARTH http://www.scumoftheearth.net/ Now thats my kind of Church. Here's their mission statement: "Scum of the Earth Church (1 Corinthians 4:11-13) We strive to be a church who: seeks intimacy with God and honest relationships with others cultivates creativity and uses everyone's gifts asks questions while seeking Truth recognizes our need for a Savior passionately yet respectfully shares the saving love of Christ demonstrates God's love in our community" Yeah, aren't those people SCUM??? Here's the news at scum, called "The Scoop at Scum" With sermons such as: Do Not Worry (Stuff Jesus Said) Speaking in Tongues and Other Nonsense (and sense) The Problem With Suffering Part 1 (EJ) Look out for the Couch Casbah Church near you...with exciting sermons such as: Black isn't a colour (it's a shade) We are humans I want all your money, and you are going to like it The Sermons of Scum of the Earth are so educational! They are in MP3 format (it's on their website). Needless to say, when you have sermons about speaking in tounge and the problem of suffering (and to think, i loved suffering) this Church is going to lead you onto the path of salvation while they tithe away 99% of your income away! These types of new-age Churches make me sick...and they are scum. Oh wait, there is a Church of scum...
