Just like Steve Jobs made iPods for fun. Well Apples had something to do with both, I guess.
Some of you understand this really is breaking news, but in theological time that is measured by millenia, so the tag would have been unrealistic.
Apparently in a sermon entitled "Gay is Not OK" delivered last Sunday Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church of Dallas made the following points:
- God made sex for fun;
- Steve Jobs is like God because he made iPods
- The FBC Pastor plugged his new iPod into the wrong outlet so it fried.
- Whoever plugs his sexual equipment into the wrong outlet will fry just like the iPod
Amazing Juice was then sung by the choir.
He who but for pastors like Dr. Jeffress would be my husband gave me an iPod for last Valentine's day and actually is quite amazed I have not yet fried it yet.
After reviewing the rules of our community, I decided not to link to the only clip from the sermon I could find (FBC Dallas having removed it for some reason from their web site), but feel a link to a site which contains the clip might be helpful. I also feel impelled to add that the link may be "NSFW", and have recently learned that has nothing to do with Australia. Also, I can't embed things anyway.

Pastor Jeffress also has reminded me of my dear Great Aunt Pascha. You she she was a lot of fun, but converted to Mormonism late in life. Comparing recent FBC Dallas sermons, it seems the church proclaims Mormons and Gays will burn in Hell together. While she had a marvelous wit, and would make great company, I really wish he would stop trying to teach hate.
btw, usual disclaimers about religion stuff, not trying to convert anyone, respect me like I respect you, All Hail the Power of the First Amendment, but as I have a degree from one of their seminaries, I just wanted y'all to know I can holler back at them in terms they might understand.
Meanwhile I am contemplating how the twittering youth saved teh gays from alphabet soup, and how Sir Elton has shown us he remains a British subject, a status many of us fought a war over a couple of centuries ago.
