Last edited Tue Feb 1, 2022, 01:43 PM - Edit history (1)
Global Vision Bible Church pastor Greg Locke was met with cries of approval on Sunday when he declared there would be a "burning service" this week.
Locke, who operates out of Mt. Juliet near Nashville, told them to bring Ouija boards, which he called a "portal to hell," and other items he said were associated with witchcraft.

Books, movies, games, crystals.... you name it.
I don't like what he's doing, but I like that he's out-ing himself for the fascist that he is.

(50,562 posts)This is my belief on heaven and hell.
Both places are where the memory of you resides in the people who knew you.
If the people who knew you have good memories of your time on earth, you're in heaven.
Conversely, if the people who knew you have bad memories of that period, you're in hell.
Guys like this preacher are hell-bound. Do you really think anyone will have a good thing to say about these jerks after they die?

(20 posts)I am so far into Agnostic that I just don't know what I believe any longer. I was a Christian, but not a crazy right wing one long ago. I have been pushed so far into that Agnostic position, by life experiences mainly. So I don't know if I believe in heaven or hell or any of it.
I hope karma truly exists because I agree that some kind of punishment should await this preacher. If that is hell, so be it. Something else, so be it.
Will anybody have anything good to say after these jerks die? Probably not, but you might get the crazies saying "he was such a good man" and all that horse shit. I have major issues with organized Christianity and this pandemic isn't making those go away LOL

(6,682 posts)Weve had several visits about his following down every conspiratorial rabbit hole there is. He actually believes God speaks to him through this church.
He said he would pray for me. I replied that he shouldnt waste his time.
I feel such pity for him that hes so misdirected if hes really looking for a higher power.

I suspect a man as focused as this pastor seems to be harbors some self-loathing vice or illegal activity.

(6,682 posts)he may be setting his own legal/moral trap. I believe he has services in a tent. The neighborhood has asked that he turn down the volume of his sound system. After that he said he was surrounded by evil...so he turned the volume up. I havent heard if theres been a resolution.

(5,631 posts)- One where a god kills 70,000 innocent people because a king David ordered a census of the people.
- and where this god also orders the destruction of 60 cities so that the Israelites can live there. He orders the killing of all the men, women, and children of each city, and the looting of all of value.
- and where in one section He orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-gilead, except for the virgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married.
- and the same god also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave .
- where this god flooded the entire earth because he regretted making human beings.
This one sounds worse than any of the others. Just sayin'.
