[Photo by AP)Nothing is slimier than TV preachers. TV preachers and fundamentalist "evangelists" are the scum of the earth, preying on the elderly and the ignorant, as well as those who are just plain stupid.
I've often thought if there were a god, he or she would strike down all the TV preachers and all the "evangelists" and their non-denominational mega-churches in a single stroke just as the deity was prone to do to Israel's enemies in the "good old days."
The fact that this has not yet happened is pretty good evidence that there is no god.
Except, now, evidence of the deity's existence may have presented itself.
There used to be a six-story statue of the mythical Jesus just off I-75 near Monroe, Ohio, on the grounds of the fundamentalist Solid Rock Church. Well, it actually portrayed just Jesus' torso with arms outstretched which led rascally people to call it "Touchdown Jesus."
Unfortunately, the leadership at the Solid Rock Church, fell prey to the whims of the deity - you know, the guy who rules the universe and has the world in his hands and grants every kind of wish to his followers - at least those who have "come to Jesus."
This huge statue, made of plastic foam and fiberglass, and costing $250,000, got zapped by lightning and burned to the ground!
God damn! He did it! He finally showed the fundamentalist, right-wing, Bible-believers what he thought of them!
And don't say it was just a "natural" force. I mean, if god can do anything, he surely can keep lightning from burning down a statue of his son, who was, of course, himself and the holy ghost!
