Whoops, sorry. Changed. Sometimes I read "youth pastor" and just assume "Texas."

The Stranger (or some local Vacaville Alternative Weekly) should sponsor a contest: Best costume in a Jeremy Wright YouTube video. Encourage locals to go in and out of the store. Make consuming porn a point of pride instead of shame.

Good thing they didn't do that in WA state - it's illegal to tape like that.

having been to vacantville i can only say that the town should be thanking the store profusely for bringing some much-needed pizzaz to the place.

A serious question: Is there a concept in clinical psychology for this kind of externalization of inner demons or control-everyone's-behavior-to-save-myself kind of thing that Dan rightly cites as a pattern among fundamentalists? It seems like it must be a fairly common symptom of some disorder or other.

You are right Dan! Every time a preacher makes his whole life about preaching against homosexuality, porn or any sexual thing it's a no brainer that the guy is into it himself!

I have found this to be true TIME AND TIME AGAIN. In fact, the one thing leaving me with one ounce of compassion for these whack jobs when I hear them pontificate endlessly about these kind of things, especially in church contexts, is knowing the person they are REALLY hating and so damn fearful of - is themselves! I feel sad that the image of God someone has nurtured in them is so hateful and one they have to fear so much that they can never accept genuine love for themselves, even as they stand knee deep in a river of that love, dying of thirst.
