A VIEW FROM THE PURPLE PEW
STATUS: Tempted to make fun of Brit. Except I was told in no uncertain terms to LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE. Uh, I guess I’ll take YouTube Videos that Rule and Suck Simultaneously for $500, Alex.
So, is it just me or is there controversy everywhere these days? I guess Kathy Griffin made everyone pissed with her Creative Arts Emmy speech, where she doesn’t thank Jesus and says her success has nothing to do with Jesus. And, okay, she says “suck it, Jesus.” I could see how maybe that’s not the classiest thing to say of all time. But you know what? In my old church, if my pastor had to do a sermon on Kathy Griffin and her success, you know what he’d say? I’ll tell you:
Kathy Griffin is not blessed by the Lord. God cannot bless the life of an unrepentant sinner. Because the only prayer he’ll ever hear from an unrepentant sinner is the prayer of salvation. Anything before that falls on deaf ears. So Kathy cannot be blessed by God because God is not listening to her.
How do I know this? I heard this speech. It wasn’t about Kathy, specifically, but it may as well have been. And I sat there listening in the purple pew with the lights beating down and the pastor getting all frothed up in a suit that cost more than what he paid most of his staff members for an entire year. Yep. I saw that first-hand.
So, helllooooo, if evangelicals and hard-liner Catholics want to follow their own dogma, then Kathy’s right. Jesus had nothing to do with it.
