And the Jerk for Jesus award of the week goes to:

Paul Blair. Yep. He's the winner. Check out what this guy decided to put in the paper. Isn't that "special"?

I think we need to make sure he knows exactly what we think about it. In fact, I told him exactly what I think about it. I also told the editor of the publication it appeared in exactly what I think. I think you should too. The rules: Do NOT sink to this guy's level. Be nice. Sort of. Tongue in cheek nice. Use clean language. Behave yourselves. Seriously.

His email address is: pblair@fairviewbaptistedmond.org

Here is what I told him:

I had a friend link me to this page... Seriously? Did you really have to publish this?
I do realize that you like to be mean to people in public but don't you think you're going to alienate all the normal christians (myself included) who don't want to be embarrassed by this kind of idiocy in a public way?
For the record, I'm just making sure you get some negative feedback. I don't expect you to change. This kind of crap is exactly why I'm an Episcopalian. I believe that God loves everybody (even you) and that this sort of thing is a sin against the Holy Spirit. You do realize you are taking God's name in vain right? That's what that commandment was about... saying God told you to say something God didn't actually tell you to say... and why do you have to be ugly in a public way any way? I don't remember Jesus talking this way to anybody but the religious leaders of his day..
Sincerely,
Leslie Terrell


The Editor to Edmond Life and Leisure's email is ray@edmondpaper.com

This is what I sent him:

I had a friend link me to this page... Seriously? Did you really have to publish this?
I do realize they paid you, but don't you think you're going to alienate all the normal christians (myself included) who don't want to be embarrassed by this kind of idiocacy in a public way?
For the record, I'm just making sure you get some negative feedback. I don't expect you to change. This kind of crap is exactly why I don't buy newspapers unless I know there's going to be some really good coupons tucked inside.
Sincerely,
Leslie Terrell.

  1. Hah. Aha. Hah. Wow. Guess the idiot's a bit slow on the uptake...last year's June was GLBT Pride month, too.
    Hopefully his ad will have the exact effect I'm hoping for: drive every single reader away from his church so he's preaching his drivel to empty pews. Y'all come on over, we'll have our doors open. ;)
