One small correction: It was 'PastorDavies' who responded "God works in mysterious ways."

After going to school with the fundamentalist crowd at Whitworth I can only say that there is a really good chance this guy is for real. After living with these people on a campus for awhile you begin to see this "fake" appearance of warmth to be what they are actually like. For the rational mind that is not clouded by the "born again" experience it seems, well like bad acting. I only wish it was. And watching the videos from Donnie, I can tell you that the odds are in favor that he is for real. Pink shirt and all......

Forgot one other aspect of why this guy is probably real. Unlike the typical born agains that Seattle Urbanites are used to (always damning people to hell while asking for cash) This guy is not asking for cash and he really seems to believe what he is saying. Remember in the Fundamentalist tradition there are those offering the Kool-Aid (Pat Robinson, Jerry Falwell ect) and those that drink the Kool-Aid. The ones who are drinking the Kool-Aid (think kids in Jesus Camp) are the ones who will kill you.

The merest suggestion of this being for real is absurd. The evidence is there, though it's far more fun to not look so closely at that and instead concentrate on a person conducting and interview in character. Need I remind anyone that Borat isn't really from Kazakhstan either.

I also chatted with Pastor Davies tonight and had much the same exchange, albeit at a painfully slow rate.

But oh---oh, hey! Where's Jeffery Dahmer mustache? That Southern earnesty? THE PINK SHIRT?

I believe the jury has reached their verdict.

We over at newspeakblog.com and the Donnie Davies Fag Club also had a wee chat with Donnie this afternoon. It went about the same as Laurence's did (Aaron said he thought the responses seemed automated, but I think he signed off too quickly for it to be a bot) and I'm still just as baffled. Some of the fundies I live around in Colorado Springs definitely have that perma-shit-eating-grin when they call you "bro", so it's hard to dismiss it!

The IM is inconclusive. Those are pretty pat answers on PastorDavies part.

But wait on that second YouTube link up there @6... what's the song that ends the clip? Seems..vaguely reminiscent of something.. Could it be the Psychadelic Furs "Love My Way" (/it's a new rule)? why it shure sounds a lot like it...

And what's the deal with Cyndy Lauper being on the "safe" band list on his site? Guess Jesus thinks it's ok to "she-bop"!

Hoax. This guy was falling back on pat answers - if he were for real, wouldn't he have been proselytizing more in the chats? This guy seems in a panic to get out of the unscripted arena.

"Thank you to Andrew Sullivan for gettin' behind me"? He can't help his weight because "that's just how I's born"? Come on, it's a joke. I couldn't decide at first either, but that video update tips it. This guy is better than Borat, and you guys are the dupes!
