Excalibre:
Crazy snakehandling fundamentalist creep!
(Wait, are snakehandlers fundamentalist? I’m not always clear on these things.)
In case that was a sincere question and not a humorous aside that whooshed me, it is my understanding from a snake-handling-church-attending college roommate that in fact, Christian persons found handling snakes in connection with expression of their religious faith will most likely be fundamentalists.
Yeah, sorry about that; I should have made it clearer. Mucho apologies to any Lovelace posters we might have.

I tried grabbing it, but it was blocked. The address in my profile does work; if you e-mail me, I can send you the link, although I was a bit disappointed to see this past Sunday’s wasn’t up on the website yet.

Whoops - chris (at) slackercentral.com will work. Thanks man!
For what it’s worth, the guy apologized and removed the sign:

After receiving volumes of negative feedback over a sign carrying a disrespectful message about the Koran outside the church where he is pastor, Creighton Lovelace has apologized for his actions and says he will remove the sign.
In a statement released May 25, Lovelace said he “did not realize how people of the Muslim faith view the Koran – that devoted Muslims view it more highly than many in the U.S. view the Bible.”
“Now I realize how offensive this is to them, and after praying about it, I have chosen to remove the sign,” he said. “I apologize for posting that message and deeply regret that it has offended so many in the Muslim community.”
Sounds like a little ignorance was fought.

Well, Slacker , that is heartening news! Props to Pastor Lovelace, and I hereby withdraw and apologize for my use of the term “assclown”.

Yeah, but now what’s with those cross burnings, again in North Carolina? Sounds like NC has been hit with some kind of Bigotry Bug—eradicate it in one town and it pops up somewhere else.
Well thanks a lot Captain Bringdown. :smack:

Whoa. Why so garrulous all of a sudden, Woodall ?
I do hope that the “volumes” of negative feedback is duly noted by extremists.

Just to remind you that not everyone here is a rightwing Christian whacko, allow me to point y’all toward the website of the local preacher I know best:
The Reverend Nancy Clark’s homepage .

While she might have just the eensiest bit of newagery running around the site, that’s kinda the point: WNC has got plenty of crazed assholes, but we’ve also got plenty of patchouli-wearing crystalrubbing nature granola types too. It’s the joy of the region.

MOD NOTE:
I went to the site in question and Unity Cafe is the ministry of Nancy Clark. Thus, this post is not a simple drive-by religious spamming, but actual information relevant to someone else’s post.
