[NATION.PK] Women who shout God's name during sex should be prosecuted, a San Antonio pastor claims. Huh?
Dr John Hagee, the founder and senior pastor of the Cornerstone Church, said that 'there is no greater sin in terms of wrongly using God's name than women who use it during sex'.
Chopping somebody's head off ain't even close in terms of evil.
'That is one of the filthiest, most derogatory and sinful uses of the Lord's name I can think of. If it were up to me, I would put every single woman or girl who does that in jail,' Hagee said.
What's God's name, by the way?
He pointed to several sections of the Bible in which the book denounced the taking of God's name in vain during an interview released last week.
If God cared in the least wouldn't he turn them into pillars of salt or something?
'In fact, one of the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament states: 'You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain' (Exodus 20:7). The word vain means for "no reason" or 'useless",' he told Newslo.
Most of us would hesitate before calling orgasm useless.
Hagee said that though this might seem 'petite and insignificant' compared to other issues, 'even in churches across America', however 'that's precisely the problem'.
I'd say the fact that it's petty and insignificant is the heart of the reverend's problem.
'In this world of crimes and deaths that surround us, a simple blasphemy does not get that much attention when it should,' he told Newslo, adding that nowadays people are 'committing sin everywhere you look'.
So why pick on this most venial of sins?
Hagee did not go into detail on how women would be prosecuted if they were to be caught crying out God's name during sex, nor did he explain why men would not be jailed for the same deed.
Just to be on the safe side I'll stick with the standard "Nnnngh!" if I ever have sex again.
