One for the "'murica" file. Sex, Guns and Jesus: Inside America’s Manliest Church

[kpete]

Pastor Heath Mooneyham brandishes a Black Rain AR-15 outside his home in Missouri's rural Ozarks. Many see Mooneyham and his ministry as the second coming of Mark Driscoll, embattled patriarch of the Mars Hill mega-church.

“We’re just a bunch of dudes with beards and beer guts and hot wives. We love our God. We love our country. We love our trucks. And we love our guns.”

As the red-blooded spiritual leader of Ignite’s rapidly growing 800-strong congregation, Heath Mooneyham has grand ambitions to get his message out, and he doesn’t care who he alienates in the process. Earlier this summer, the husband and father of four earned Ignite some national exposure when he raffled off a pair of assault rifles for Father’s Day services, hoping to lure a few more lost male souls through his doors. To promote the giveaway, Pastor Heath cut a YouTube video in which he proclaimed that the day’s grand prize, a Black Rain AR-15, would allow one “lucky dude” to “double-tap a zombie in style.” Then he goaded his target audience into showing up to church on time.

“You’re a big boy. You got big balls between your legs. You’re a dad, right? Get up, set your alarm, don’t be a wuss.”

guns and beer guts so maybe the wives too ?

7. Yep. In the list of things he says he loves, his wife, to whom he referred as hot was not

listed.

That omission, accidental or not speaks volumes.

6. In the words of Professor Farnsworth from Futurama: sweet zombie Jesus!

When did Jesus brag about busting a cap in someone's ass?
