Accuser's message for Bishop Eddie Long: 'You are a monster'

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/09/29/georgia.pastor.sex.charges/index.html?hpt=T1

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- One of the young men who has accused a Georgia pastor of sexual coercion told Atlanta television station WAGA that he wanted to send a message to Bishop Eddie Long: "You are not a man. You are a monster."

"I cannot get the sound of his voice out of my head, I cannot forget the smell of his cologne and I cannot forget the way that he made me cry many nights when I drove in his cars on the way home," Jamal Parris, 23, told a WAGA reporter who traveled to Colorado to interview him.

Parris -- a former church employee and personal assistant to Long -- filed one of four lawsuits last week accusing the Baptist televangelist of coercing young male church members into having sex with him.

Long's spokesman, Art Franklin, has said that the pastor "categorically and adamantly denies" the allegations, adding that they were "a case of retaliation and a shakedown for money by men with some serious credibility issues."

1. Not good
Personally, I'm not a religious person.... but some things have to be sacred. If not religions, then what?

3. Wolves in sheep's clothing..

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves"

— Matthew 7:15

It's even in the Gospels..

ETA: Who is really denigrating religion, the wolf in the clothing of a sheep or the person who points out that fact?

2. Listen to some of the "Bishops" supporters
Edited on Wed Sep-29-10 11:53 AM by MNBrewer
Reminds me of two things:

People who will excuse any excess committed by the present administration.
The film "Downfall"

Cults of personality for sure.

On edit:

And NO, i'm NOT saying Obama is a pedophile or that he is like Hitler.
