This nutbag doesn't represent all churchgoers any more than Palin represents all politically active people.
Bunch of subs, no dungeon around, wouldn't admit being in the market for a dom anyway. So they find one of these churches and get their rocks off. And somebody puts the porn on the internet.
I haven't been an evangelical for a long, long time, but from what I recall, those are things one should only say or think when referring to God, not your narcissistic pastor. The whole point of being a "born-again" Christian is that you answer to no priest or clergy - you only answer to God (well Jesus, but they believe Jesus is God). Apparently, this pastor has forgotten that and considers himself to be the personal savior for his entire "flock".
For the sake of all the people in that room, I hope he and his wife do pack up and leave in their "paid for" vehicle. It's guys like this that helped make me an ex-Christian.
Actually, he does.
So long as mainstream moderate religious churchgoing folks allow themselves to be used as a shield of respectability for religious extremists and don't object vociferously, they are complicit. For an example of said objections, check out some the NALT Christians Dan has linked to, like John Shore.
This is why so-called RINOs object to the extremists that have so thoroughly infested the Republican party - because they know that to not speak up is to allow their silence to stand for approval of their views. And they pay the price for speaking up. A price they damn well should be willing to pay.
To be fair, you did say the nutbag didn't represent all churchgoers. Fair enough.
But he represents such a vast majority it might as well be all of them. And yes, I'm including the silent objectors in the majority. They have the power to move themselves out of that category at any time.
Exhibit A is the ongoing fascination with the Westboro Baptist Church, a tiny, insignificant bunch of screwball attention whores who've managed to find the media's buttons and keep pushing them relentlessly.
Christians behaving in a Christ-like manner just doesn't get the same ratings.
C'mon people. He just wants Cox to submit to his will. What's so wrong with that?
You religionists have some serious dom/sub issues that you need to address.
The hardest part is to see how weak and cowardly his congregation is, but they're choosing to live in fear. Kinda weird if you ask me.

His congregants are definitely masochistic to put up with that kind of sh*t from him. In my denomination (United Methodist) that guy wouldn't even get ordained.
There's a reason this was remarkable enough to become an internet item of interest.
