Meet Pawpaw's Spiritual Guide




If you liked John Hagee, you're gonna luuuuuuuuuuuv Rod Parsley.

The Rod of God, a televangelist from Ohio, is John McCain's spiritual adviser. I guess that means that Rod's the guy who burns sage in a pentagram drawn around WALNUTS! while bathing him in the blood of young children so he can live another 1000 years.

Parsley has called on Christians to wage a war against Mooslims:

The leader of a 12,000-member congregation, Parsley has written several books outlining his fundamentalist religious outlook, including the 2005 Silent No More. In this work, Parsley decries the "spiritual desperation" of the United States, and he blasts away at the usual suspects: activist judges, civil libertarians who advocate the separation of church and state, the homosexual "culture" ("homosexuals are anything but happy and carefree"), the "abortion industry," and the crass and profane entertainment industry. And Parsley targets another profound threat to the United States: the religion of Islam.

In a chapter titled "Islam: The Deception of Allah," Parsley warns there is a "war between Islam and Christian civilization." He continues:

I cannot tell you how important it is that we understand the true nature of Islam, that we see it for what it really is. In fact, I will tell you this: I do not believe our country can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand our historical conflict with Islam. I know that this statement sounds extreme, but I do not shrink from its implications. The fact is that America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed, and I believe September 11, 2001, was a generational call to arms that we can no longer ignore.


Awsome! Who doesn't love a good crusade? I'm in, just as long as I get to ride that talking lion.

Let's not get our hopes up quite yet. I'm sure he'll be smoking meth and fucking gay prostitutes in no time. Seems to be the pattern.
