*yawn*

It would seem the BSC that told parishioners to repent for voting Kerry or leave has himself resigned. Big deal, right?

I like the quotes:

As Chandler and his wife drove out of the church's parking lot followed by a police escort, about 40 of his supporters walked out as well, with many saying they were resigning their memberships.

"I'm not going to serve with the ungodly," an angry Misty Turner declared.

I'll bet Misty Turner is a Waco survivor.

But Maxine Osborne, 70, and among those who stayed behind, had a different view of what had transpired.

"A lot of these young people had not been in the church more than a year," she said. The Chandlers "brought in a lot of young people, but they also brainwashed them."

Is it me, or is it odd that the older folks are the reasonable ones and the younger ones are BSC? It's clear that in this country, we have a resurgence of Jim Jones/David Koresh type people.

Here kitty kitty..

Chandler supporter Rhonda Trantham, 27, saw no problem with Chandler's approach. "If it's in the Bible, I believe it should be preached," she said.

Rhonda should be the first one stoned to death for eating a shell fish. It's in the bible you know..

Out in the parking lot, as she got into her truck, Trantham was equally adamant.

"God will always fix things in the end," she said.

It has occurred to me.. that if I realllly wanted to.. I could do a couple of months of bible study.. get some sort of paper mill certification, or whatever it is they use, and I could twist the fuck out of people like Rhonda Trantham. I could probably raise an army of religious nut bags..

But then I prefer to make my living at an honest job..
