I'm going to have to do an iTunes search for my favorites.

Thank goodness, though, I grew up Disciples of Christ and not Baptist. Those Baptist ministers are nutso.

And Dan, if you want to reference the song in the headline, "And they'll know we are Christians by our ..." is the actual line.

AND, it happened two doors down from my house.

God gave us all a free will, how we use it - is up to us. Regretably this man choose to give into sin.

This didn't "happen" to him. He made a series of choices, like folks do all the time. The difference is he spends his time in the pulpit demonizing others who make poor choices - or who just enjoy their lives differently than him.

Ah, denominations. Frankly I don't trust anyone belonging to a denomination that doesn't take communion every Sunday. And I certianly don't trust male pastors who wear skirts!

@8--I'm joking.

I guess he'll be hoping that his flock is sufficiently Baptist and inexperienced that they won't know that such things don't put desires in your head, but lower your inhibitions on acting on them.

Rev. Tommy Tester (what a name!), the drugs didn't make you do it, they let you do it.
