So, I was reading some stuff on www.AlterNet.org - my main source of news these days - and there was an article about this kooky fundamentalist preacher who thinks that modern society's departure from strict biblical patriarchy is the source of all evil. He's not the only one, of course, and sadly, this kind of thing doesn't even shock me anymore - there's so much insanity going on these days, it barely causes a raised eyebrow. But there were a lot of angry and/or mocking comments under the article, and someone posted this link:

So now I know what's wrong with America. And I can't resist sharing this revelation. I thought at first it was some sort of lame satire... but I'm afraid that guy is actually serious. He is a famous controversial religious figure, apparently. One who takes his literal interpretation of the Bible to a whole new level.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
gairid, you are going to love this. Just make sure to move any drinks away from the keyboard. And read the comments, too. The comments are better than the video itself, actually. I swear I must have shrieked with laughter for about an hour.
Ahhh, what interesting times we live in. *sporfle*
Yes, I do realize that the fact this guy has a following who take him seriously is not funny at all. But sometimes all you can do in response to such self-righteous nonsense is laugh. Otherwise you'd go mad.
