Trump supporters who have clearly been drinking improbable amounts of the proverbial Kool-Aid believe kneeling in prayer can somehow have a magic effect on math. Thursday night, supporters of Trump—whose catalog of failures includes a botched steak-hawking endeavor and an equally botched re-election attempt—gathered outside the Clark County Election Department in Nevada to drop down […]
Irvin Baxter, a Trump-supporting Evangelical pastor who said in March that sex before marriage was the reason behind the coronavirus pandemic, has died from COVID-19. The 75-year-old died on Tuesday after he was hospitalized last week due to complications from a COVID-19 infection. He was responsible for hosting a show titled Politics and Religion on National Prophecy […]
Paula White, a prosperity gospel hawker and so-called “spiritual adviser” to Trump, has careened into headlines this week thanks to a video featuring some startling nonsensicality centered around the 2020 presidential election. The clips in question, which are rife with memeable bullshittery, come from a recent livestream event during which White attempted to passionately pray (i.e. scream into […]
Christians have raised more than $500,000 for Kyle Rittenhouse‘s legal defense, arguing—presumably after clicking the little “pray now” button on the fundraising site or whatever—that the 17-year-old from Illinois who’s been charged with first-degree intentional homicide “bravely tried to defend his community.” The fundraiser, housed on the self-described “No. 1 free Christian fundraising site” GiveSendGo, has been […]
“God is not done with California,” Sean Feucht, a self-described “founder of multiple movements” and a “lover of Jesus Christ,” bragged over the weekend. Perhaps to his surprise, neither is COVID-19. Feucht, further described in this CBS Sacramento report as a pastor associated with Bethel Church in Redding, also boasted about an alleged attendance of more than 12,000 […]
Despite no one asking for this, and despite the overwhelming sense that the world is aching to move on from acknowledging the existence of such things at all, Kanye West and Nick Cannon have still decided to share part 2 of their apparently quite long interview. In under four minutes, this part of the discussion […]
TikTok‘s political turmoil isn’t stopping with President Trump. On Monday, rapper-turned-politician (kinda), Kanye West, tweeted out his idea for a potential partnership with TikTok. Like Moses and the burning bush, Kanye claims he was hit with a “vision” to make a Christian version of the app. “A VISION JUST CAME TO ME… JESUS TOK,” Kanye tweeted. “I […]
Lecrae wants to make one thing very clear: He did not condone a white pastor’s recent comment about the “blessing of slavery.” The Christian rapper received backlash this week after an on-camera conversation with Chic-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy and Atlanta megachurch pastor Louie Giglio. During their sit-down, Giglio shared his thoughts on white privilege and how we should rebrand the term to avoid […]
Bishop Gerald O. Glenn, an evangelical pastor in Virginia, has died from the coronavirus just a few weeks after he showed off his packed church and said he’d keep delivering sermons “unless I’m in jail or the hospital.” Note that Glenn is not the first church leader in the state to die after downplaying the […]
Finally, we have some good news in a year that’s thus far been filled with a nearly wall-to-wall bombardment of abject shit. Jim Bakker, a fraud-convicted televangelist, has been sued by the state of Missouri for peddling wholly fake items under the guise of being a “cure” for the coronavirus. The state’s suit follows a warning from […]
