You know somebody was going to ask about the Oregon one so it might as well be me. What does that have to do with the typical sexual abuse? Or are we now hating on [trans] fat people?

I think Dan has broadened the Youth Pastor Watch (and rightfully so) to include other assaults, maulings, general misanthropy, &c.

Brandon Rains kind of sounds like a gay pornstar name, so maybe Fr. Aaron has set the boy on the road to a promising career.

Ok the second one is retarded and has nothing to do with the fact that the guy is a youth pastor and everything to do with the fact that the victim is a retard.

More youth pastor shenanigans...

Flood Youth Group, open to seventh to 12th graders, is fundraising for a mission trip to Kenya. Youth Pastor North Cady, 23, and his wife Amanda, 21, are spearheading the three-week trip set for June of 2009. About six youth group members will go.

It's a crazy mixed up world.

Don't feel too bad for the second youth pastor. The trampoline company's the one with deep pockets. They'll be the ones paying out big bucks, if anything at all.

American Family Association Launches Boycott Against McDonald’s For ‘Promoting The Homosexual Agenda’»

mcdonalds_logoe.gif Today, the right-wing American Family Association (AFA) announced a boycott of McDonald’s. According to AFA, Ronald McDonald and his gang are part of giant gay agenda:

What the boycott of McDonald’s IS about

It is about McDonald’s, as a corporation, refusing to remain neutral in the culture wars. McDonald’s has chosen not to remain neutral but to give the full weight of their corporation to promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage.

AFA is upset at McDonald’s for refusing to condemn Vice President of Communications Richard Ellis’s decision to serve on the Board of Directors of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). AFA President Donald Wildmon said the situation is “strange” because “it’s the family that McDonald’s appeals to — children’s playland, you know, all the little toys, all of that. And they are promoting a lifestyle that would utterly destroy the traditional family.”

Eww! I'm on McDonald's side, now?
