Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

This blog will pay for itself.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

This really is a full service blog.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Cole is on a roll !

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Why Are The Loudmouths Always the Kinksters?

This post is in: Blatant Liars and the Lies They Tell

FacebookTweetEmail

The latest in a long line of examples:

A pastor who said Facebook was a “portal to infidelity” and told married church leaders to delete their accounts or resign once testified that he had a three-way sexual relationship with his wife and a male church assistant. […]

In court testimony he gave in April 2003, Miller said his wife had an extramarital affair with the church assistant. Miller said he participated in many of the sexual encounters and said the assistant’s wife was sometimes present, too.

Miller said the dalliances – which occurred in the Millers’ home – sometimes took place during Thursday Bible study meetings and Sundays after church. But the minister said the encounters “came to a crashing halt” when several women in the church accused the assistant of having sex with them.

I’m sure there are some megachurch fundamentalists who are quietly having extramarital affairs with an age-appropriate females, but it sure seems like those yelling the loudest are either closeted homosexuals or having three- and four-ways.

    Who would know “portals to infidelity” best but an infidel who’s tasted enough of them to write a guidebook! Many people become intensely religious precisely because they are hyper-aware and afraid of the human sensual passions boiling inside them.

    The better question would be “Why do the kinksters always feel they have to be loudmouths?” Not that I’m at all religious, but the passage about “when thou prayest” kind of indicates that the problem is a very old one.

    This makes no sense:

    several women in the church accused the assistant of having sex with them.

    Like they accused him of slandering them or stealing their credit cards. Isn’t ‘having sex’ pretty much a consensual thing? Either it’s assault or the participants are equally guilty.

    Hey, at least he is secure of his place in heaven for being a righteous dude! Sin yer ass off, apologize afterward and get your ‘Get out of hell free’ card. Sin again? Wash, rinse and repeat as necessary.

    Finally, to cover your bases be sure to make that last repentance right before kakking off!

    It seems that the louder they howl about something, the more likely it is that they are the ones who are doing that very thing. If they get caught at least they have a nice story for their ‘road to recovery’ afterward.

    Horny toads.

    Because repression, puritanism and having an uptight attitude towards sexuality is still a widespread phenomenon. And this is a bad thing, as it is one of the factors driving the Culture Wars. If f we are to progrress as a society, one of the things that are needed is to work towards a much more open, non-judgmental and relaxed attitude with respect to our body and sexual matters.

    I think Poopyman has that right, the independent variable here is kinkster and the dependent one is loudmouth.

    Religionists are overrepresented in the loudmouth cohort because a) pronouncements in front of large numbers of people are an integral part of their job, and b) having to whack these demons past the point of exhaustion sooner or later will make everybody shout out “Take that, and that, and that”.

    Which kind of is the point of no return and things can only escalate until the hypocritical edifice comes crashing down. Then it’s off to a new business plan involving an emphasis on redemption. I’d bet that will feature prominently in pastor Miller’s communications to his flock.

    @Admiral_Komack: Hehehe, well played. Though I suspect more than hands was involved…

    Also, that assistant seems to have been quite the man-about-church.

    The correlation of prurience (conservative “bedroom sniffing” as Matt Taibbi styles it) and perversity is well documented in Kraft-Ebbings Psycopathia Sexualis.

    Well, now, all of this is certainly forgivable since no wetsuits and/or dildos were involved (at least that we know about to this point).

    I think the pastor has a point. If interoffice email was causing gang bangs to spontaneously break out in back in 2003, can you imagine what facebook is capable of?

    It’s called projection.

    The loudmouths have no self-control when it comes to their “vices” so they assume no one else has any self-control. And since they’re part of a religion that makes it near-impossible to process those feelings, they have to rail against the behavior that they assume everyone is doing. As a bonus, since they’re surrounded by filthy, filthy sinners, they can blame those sinners for corrupting them.

    Sheesh, my husband told me about this pastor carrying on about Facebook being a road into the, er, hellmouth, and I had a little snicker, but I didn’t hear The Rest of the Story.

    If the husband/wife knows about it and is okay with it [never mind present], then it’s not infidelity.

    Hi. This is the year 2010 speaking. Women are no longer property, and sexual technology has become quite advanced. It makes this whole ‘family’ concept so much more consensual. This is a good thing. Enjoy the ‘hard’ work that so many people have ‘labored’ upon. Thanks.

    Don’t forget the liaisons with sleazy streetwalkers in cheap motels.

    Um, as a point of technicality, is it extramarital if his wife participated in them too?

    Shouldn’t he be banning or threatening exile to anyone who comes to his church? I mean it was clearly a “portal of infidelity”.

    @WarMunchkin:

    Um, as a point of technicality, is it extramarital if his wife participated in them too?

    You have obviously not been paying attention: According to the wisest of wise bible exegesists with the purest of pure Christian hearts, a marriage is between ONE man and ONE woman.

    And if I understood this correctly, then the active and passive seems to be inverted a bit: His wive appears to have engaged in the extracurricular activities with the assistant first, upon which the good pastor seems to have felt compelled to join in.

    We differentiate between “lying to obtain sexual access” and “obtaining sexual access by force or threats of force”.

    And for once, it’s a closeted bisexual. Not to mention a swinger.
