Nurse! Todd Bentley Has Escaped Again

Does anyone know this person's carer?

Sometimes the correct response is to just point and laugh (Thanks to SG for the link)

What a fruitloop! Some zoomer on the St.Silas egroup attacked me when I pointed out that Bentley admitted "inappropriate" relationships with women in his congregation.

I'm beginning to wonder if there is a St Zoomer. Sadly, some St Silagers will think Todd is great.
I am slightly disappointed that the creotards wont stand up and be counted on David's blog. I would have thought they would have jumped at the chance given the fact that they seem to ban dissenters. Maybe it's cos it's not their bog to ban me from.

Maybe the creotards can use Todd to light the books to set the van on fire to close Gibson St :-)

Actually Billy, there was a bit of a trail of nuttiness in finding that Todd Bentley video

I decided to see what the Evangie nutters were up to here:

www.christianstogether.net

(Note - there is some seriosuly screwed up crap on that site - I wonder if it is truly representative of the way that evangelicalism is going in Scotland - something tells me that it is not too far from the trends...)

Anyway not only was Ken Ham and his "State of the Nation 2" on the front page, there was also the "Jean Darnell" prophecy - this is seriosuly deranged stuff. The Youtube link is:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXnLICx-UwA

(A "word" for Scotland sigh....)

Anyway, just across from it on YouTube on the "Related Videos" was that Bentley masterpiece....


And of course, if you look closely, you will see another vid "What Christians need to know about Israel"

www.youtube.com/watch?v=winpzUDW4Vc

In other words a load of Christian Zionism, possibly one of the most dangerous ideas about at this time.

And so it goes on....

So much wingnuttery all compressed into so few clicks and links.... arrrghhhh!!!!

:-)))

Ah SG, God is a twisted fire starter. That woman is like some sort of hypnotised toad.

Rapture ready fundies should be sectioned. I see there are a few accusations that the jews killed jesus in the comments.

That fundies together site is just mental. Here's what the US evangies are up to

That Malawi story is scary and bad. Note this comment: "We have proof of American evangelical churches driving the religious fundamentalism in Uganda"

The evangie fundies (tautology?) see Africa as "white unto the harvest" - charismatic BS religion positively THRIVES where there is a precedent of native folk religion, witchcraft, spiritism, animism etc

Its like people are already predisposed to BS

(Which on the other hand is why this sort of BS spectacularly fails in Europe)

Malawi has strong associations with Scotland, through David Livingstone et al.

The Churhc of Scotland is strongly associated with it.

In fact, the CofS possibly COULD help the situation there if they were to speak out - they do have the influence after all. Of course the CofS is busy tearing itself apart over its OWN homophobia (the Scott Rennie case)


Of course, the fundies themselves admit to a downside:

"Prosperity Gospel Invades Africa"

www.christianstogether.net/Articles/173470/Christians_Together_in/Christian_Life/Prosperity_Gospel_invades.aspx

Interestingly, this article is written by a fundie!

Hi SG, I couldn't get the full link.

You are right about the predisposed to waco stuff. One of my friends told me of several Africans who had seen spirits. That just doesn't happen here.

The catholics are fucking Malawi with the old use a condom and go to hell scheme - some bishops even claim that condoms come pre-infected with HIV. The CoS could definately speak out here.

I've come across a few head cases lately on this subject - some folk are even happy to allow faithfull partners become infected by their non faithfull other halves because of papal indoctrination - sick!

I'm actually considering a visit to Lake Malawi soon to see the greatest fundy fucking example of speciation on earth

Billy - more on Africa from the BBC:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8528409.stm

"Religion, Politics and Africa's Homophobia"

Interesting to read of a "colonial" effect - it appears that the homophobia is worst in ex-british colonies

Re that link I tried to post, lets se if this works!

http://www.christianstogether.net/Articles/173470/Christians_Together_in/Christian_Life/Prosperity_Gospel_invades.aspx

If not, go to google and type in:

site:christianstogether.net prosperity gospel

(That site: option in the google search engine is amazingly useful - great for finding out long fotgotten fundie pish....
