Good Christian Fame "seekers" Probably Liars Too [View all]

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.

. . . .
