Good Christian Fame "seekers" Probably Liars Too

nice work if you can get it


Good Christian Fame seekers Probably Liars Too



Just some good Christians lookin’ to make a buck

You know how Jesus said, “Go forth and multiply and then try to get rich and famous for doing that?” Yes he did TOO, because look at all these good Christian families who make their whore diamonds by talkin’ Bible stuff on the TV and the internets, everywhere like such as, ’bout how you should not do the sex before the wedding — twice, at least! — and how you should protect The Children from transhomogendersexians, but not from their finger-banging older brother, because that’s different, and also Beyoncé is a . . , and Ted Nugent likes kittens a whole lot.

Well, America, is time to meet your new America’s Next Top Christian Fame . . . Family, Sam and Nia Rader. These “devout Christians” were high school sweethearts, and now they are opposite married to each other, with children, and they think they are real good looking. No, really, their launch to internet stardom began with a video they made called “Good Looking Parents Sing Disney’s Frozen (Love Is an Open Door).” And they have a YouTube channel all about “a small family of four pointing to a big God and vlogging it all… daily.”

Because, see, it is Sam’s dream to be famous. No, REALLY! “I’ve always had a dream to be famous,” Sam said. Aw, that’s nice. And profitable, too. BuzzFeed reports that “the couple likely earns $9.60 per thousand non-skippable ad views, which could easily lead to a six-figure salary for the channel if they can maintain even just a fraction of their recent numbers.” Ka-ching and hallelujah!

One might think this good looking Christian couple would use their YouTube fame for Jesus-y things like caring for the least among us, but one would be a moron who doesn’t understand how the Good Christian Scam thing works:
With their most recent success, the Raders have received tons of support and media attention, which they’ve seemed to enjoy – the day after announcing the miscarriage, they posted a video where they tried (and failed) to use their fame to get into Legoland for free.

Sam told PEOPLE his medical training made him certain of the signs of Nia's miscarriage.

"I'm a nurse so I know the signs of a miscarriage," he said. "The moment before it even happened, I started crying and when it actually happened [it was] just the biggest devastation our family has ever experienced. Her womb is so completely empty and I just know there's an emptiness in myself."

Your point is they are bad people bc they are getting paid or they are bad people bc they are Christian? I'm going to do you a favor and not even click on your link today so they wont get paid for it.

Lets debate the points i find interesting (i know it wont happen ; )
--- it is a crime between children when sexual molestation takes place, I agree but is it always a job for law enforcement? Is it ALL 'molestation'? Do we account for the fact that sexual experimentation does take place between children, siblings or not, regardless of the age difference, and not all such behavior should be escalated into a big deal? Children are still children.
--- i assume the term 'transhomogendersexians' refers to people who want to corral six year olds into their gender-appropriate bathroom and question the kids to examine their own sexual identity at such a young age so they can report back if they believe they have been born into the wrong gender- body and need to use the little girls room instead of the little boys room even though it means there will be no urinal and you'll have to wait longer to go pee just like the 'other' little girls do?

Don't you find THAT behavior towards children dangerous to their well-being? As adults we have forgotten what it feels like being a kid. Sexuality is not something they need to or should be asked to or are capable of figuring out at a young age. It will all come out in the wash, some people never figure out til they are adults that they are actually bi-sexual, a category people dont like to get up and shout about.

If people like to go to church or have Bible studies or send someone money online because they want to, where is the 'scam?' I was copying and pasting dictionary definitions when my browser crashed and i decided not to bother. If no deceit is involved there is no scam.

They're probably not really Christian? She probably wasn't really pregnant? Ok, scam it is, then, but only then.

Whether they are actually good-looking or not, well you could do a poll, or you could look up 'tongue-in-cheek' comments, it is a form of humor requiring the sarcasm gif for some people to get it, if only it could be done in verbal speech so no one would accidentally offend anyone, ever.

I usually but not always skip over topics i find obnoxious.
