Eddie Long is a hypocritical, lying, pedophile (allegedly)

Cry Eddie Cry!

Wednesday's lawsuit, filed in DeKalb County, Georgia, State Court, was brought on behalf of Jamal Parris, now 23, who was a teenager at the time he joined Long's church.

The suit, which claims Long encouraged Parris to call him "Daddy," also names the church and a youth academy as defendants.

Believe it or not sometimes evil people do get their comeuppance. And Bishop Eddie Long is an example of just that. Long is the biggest gay bashing preacher in this country and has been for quite some time. And now we find out that Long has been chasing young men for years.

The suit, also filed by attorney B.J. Bernstein, claims Long engaged in sexual acts with Parris. The young man eventually became a church employee and served as personal assistant to Long and traveled with him, the suit says. The pastor continued to engage in sexual activity with Parris and gave him money, trips and gifts, the suit says.

Three lawsuits have been filed alleging that Bishop Eddie Long had sexual relations with at least three young men on several occasions over several years. They suits also claim that Long took the young men, some were teens, on trips and bought them lavish gifts.

All of this was going on while the Bentley driving, private plane flying Bishop Eddie Long was making life hell for gays and lesbians with his hate speech from the pulpit of his mega-church the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in the Atlanta area.

So now all of those idiots in Long's mega-church know that their tithes have been going to a man who is nothing more than a alleged pedophile. Religion it seems is the perfect place for evil people to take advantage of weak people.


I hope that Bishop Eddie Long ends-up where he belongs and that is in hell with all of the other pedophiles and thieves. In the meantime it's likely his parishioners will make a way for him to stay exactly where he is, in the pulpit, and continue to give him their money like the good lemmings that they are.

Maybe Eddie Long should have been a Catholic priest, he would fit right in.

Losing my religion

Author Ann Rice has apparently given up religion. She made the pronouncement via Facebook. The mainstream media is all over the story. But to me it's old news. I've given up on religion long ago.

In my humble opinion one's relationship with God ought to be the simplest relationship one has. So why muck it up with a bunch of books, preachers, ceremonies, collection plates and hate.

God and religion are two very different things.

Religion has a very sordid history, to say the least. It's been used as a excuse to abuse women, to treat women as property, to enslave millions of people, to murder, and to terrorize.


So why would I want to be apart of such a thing?

The way I see it, unless one is a psychopath, one is able to learn at a very early age the difference between right and wrong. So why do I need someone reading from a religious text to tell me the difference?

I don't.

And the religion one belongs to has more to do with geography than anything else. If you are born in India then chances are pretty good you are Hindu. If you are born in Mexico then you are probably Roman Catholic. If you are born in Saudi Arabia you are probably Muslim. The United States, a Protestant Christian sect. And the effects of geography on religion is even more pronounced in Ireland.

So what religion you adhere to is really a geographical crap-shoot.

I can pray to the God that I believe in, try to walk with the God that I believe in and serve the God I believe in without all that religion brings with it. Without religion my relationship with the God that I believe in seems so simple and pure.

No politics. No fighting against others having rights that I have. No finger pointing. Just me and the God that I believe in. What more does a person need?
