The Rising

Did you happen to read the expose on Jerry Falwell Jr.?

Me either.

But I did read through the lowlights.

There have been plenty of rumors about his sexual exploits involving his wife and the gardener. There were also reports of financial indiscretions including borrowing money from Liberty University.

I have zero time for any of the big-time organized religious guys, and the list is long.

Remember Jim & Tammy Faye?

How about Osteen and the locks on the doors during the flood in Houston.

These guys fly around in private jets, live in mansions and preach at the vulnerable to give them all their money.

They use their unique vision of God To milk their parishioners out of every last dime.

Something that God would probably look down upon.

Jerry Falwell Jr. has been in the news a lot because he is firmly behind Trump. A lot of people are saying that Trump was handed the election when the Evangelicals threw their Bibles behind the candidate who had an affair with a porn star while his wife was nursing their newborn...

...you know, like all good Christians do.

I’m sure it’s all fake news.

The people who are fans of Falwell Jr. will twist themselves into pretzels to justify it, or like Tammy Faye, he will use his standing to admit:

“I’m a weak man, but I was talking to God last night and he told me that he’ll forgive me if I can talk my people into donating three million dollars to me and my clan. So, let’s pass the hat!”

He’ll get the money too because:

People believe

What they want to believe

When it makes no sense

At all.

Poor Jerry.

I can’t wait until he repents, forgives himself, and rises again.
