Notes From The Prayer Warrior

Posted by on May 30 at 15:21 PM

Yesterday brought this interesting note from Pastor Ken Hutcherson:

Dear Prayer Warior,

Please pray for me as I will be on Dr. James Dobson’s show tomorrow and Wednesday talking about marriage. Pray that God uses it mightily.

Pastor Hutch

The topic of that Dobson show? “Marriage and the African-American Church.” As my Prayer Warrior informant points out, there is some irony in Hutcherson addressing this topic, given that Hutcherson ministers to an almost all-white church in Redmond.

Oh, you can be sure I'll be praying for him. Praying that God will smite him mightily.

Oh wait - I don't believe in God. Damn. Goddamn.

I shall invoke whatever deity who cares to listen to me with the request that "hutch" get a case of the divine "shut the fuck ups". If you do that, I will believe in you as much as I can. Just let me know which deity you are.

I have always thought that Paul Newman was a God, of course this was confirmed by his tour de force in Slapshot. So Catalina, pray with me that Hutch drowns in a vat of Newman's ranch dressing. From the looks of the man, this seems plausible.

Okey-Dokey. Here goes nothing. If someone wants to translate this into Latin, I'll provide the candles and incest....

Oh most worthy and beneficient master Mr Paul Newman. We are not worthy to paint your toenails or dust your venetian blinds. However, we do beeseech and request that you grant our most humblest plea.

A false prophet, who hath named himself after a common piece of dining room furniture, has been selected for a radio program intended to further mislead the already misled. We most humbly ask that he instead be cast into a vat of your most excellent ranch dressing, and crushed under a load of thine holy croutons.

In recognition of above-mentioned favor, we offer to do all manner of things in a most miscellaneous sense for an indetermiate time.

Further, we ask that all Retardlicans suffer the same fate, insomuch as thine divine inventory allows.

In your holy name I remain your most devoted Catalina Vel-DuRay.

A-men.

Burn the bible and shit on the Torah. All relgion is for idiots.

Does that comment above really say "I'll provide the candles and incest" ?!

I don't want to be a part of this new religion.

No mention of the fact that Hutcherson lied about being scheduled to be on Dobson's show last time?

Oh, that darn spell checker. It's such a perv.

Rest assured, my religion is pure. If you could see my family, you'd know why I'm not tempted ;-)

Surely Rev. Ken jests or got that backwards, and the Reverend hopes that God uses him mightily? Does he have a press secretary to clean up him usurping Him? Maybe one of the loopy literalists or manic millenialists will clarify. Where's that Advocate (John chs 14, 15, 16) when you need one?

Reverend Ken's church sounds more and more interesting - no humility, interracial marriage is OK and that's a slippery slope to gay marriage (which is why he denies it so), and I haven't heard Rev. Ken mention any charity work.

Why would one be humble? We're Christians! Humility is for Catholics, Jews and other non-Christian religions.

And Jesus told us that the poor will always be with us, so there's really no point in doing any charity work.

And interracial marriage is fine, as long as it's a black man and a white woman. The other way around is blasphemy.
