Assemblies of God pastor admitted faking terminal cancer to hide an addiction to porn

[tannybogus]

AN AUSTRALIAN pastor who inspired hundreds of thousands of people with his fight against terminal cancer has admitted he faked his illness to hide an addiction to porn.

Police are now investigating disgraced pastor Michael Guglielmucci over the collection of public donations to his cancer cause.

The alarm is understood to have been raised by the Hillsong Church in Sydney which revealed the pastor's hoax in an email.

His deception was so great his wife quit work to care for him, he forced himseld to vomit regularly at night and even lost his hair to fool his family and the public about the extent of his illness.

Guglielmucci, whose parents established Edge Church International, an Assemblies of God church, had earlier this year released a hit song, The Healer, which debuted at No. 2 on the ARIA charts and was featured on Sydney Hillsong church's latest album.

I can no longer keep up with the "creative" ideas that religious leaders have.
I still think the pastor who was arrested for breaking into a home and stealing a
sex toy is #1 (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3713829).
However, this man took things to epic proportions.:crazy:

1. Can a person actually be "addicted" to porn?

it seems to me it's more like one likes porn and got caught.

2. Why are so many of these idiots

addicted to porn? Are they really that insecure that they have to pretend to worship some sky wizard really really hard so they can cover up some porn habit.

3. Saying that they are "addicted" takes it out of their hands..

Instead of admitting he really really likes porn he is telling everyone it isn't his fault it is an "addiction"...
