And just for a brief, humorous respite between all the toxic sludge (well, this one’s toxic, too, but in a rather helpless way): Rev. Maurice Gordon of Lovingway United Pentecostal Church in Denver received some attention back in 2004 for posting a church sign saying “Jews killed the Lord Jesus” to remind his followers that … well, according to Gordon, the message wasn’t hateful: “It would be hateful if it pointed at anybody alive today. But this has been part of the record for 2,000 years.” His response raises the obvious follow-up question “what, then, was the point of putting up the sign?” According to Gordon, the point was to encourage people to read the Bible. Well, then.
Apparently, Gordon’s various signs condemning homosexuality, extramarital sex and abortion had been courting controversy for a while in the Denver area.
Diagnosis: Very possibly dead (he was elderly back in 2004). It wouldn’t make much difference to his current level of influence, as far as we can tell.
Very dead.
