The scumbag lived far longer than he should have.

Thats what burns my ass. Why do these pieces of shit never die young?!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

There is no God

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They're highly motivated. Because they believe in a wrathful god they know whatever is waiting for them on the other side is going to be unpleasant

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Hate and scorn sustains them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Apparently, ~91yrs too long, in fact.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 days ago (1 children)

OK now do Joel Osteen next.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (3 children)

And Kenneth Copeland. With fire.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I've never seen a person who looked more like a demon in a skin suit than Kenneth Copeland.

Holy fucking nightmares those eyes

If I was religious I would definitely think he was the devil quoting scripture.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I have no fucking idea how he isn't dead first with how he looks

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

fuck dude that guy's held together with staples and wd-40

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Even before I saw that guy preach, I thought he was the creepiest-looking person ever. His sermons and lifestyle don't help.

What else did everyone else have for dinner today?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Just a protein bar. My wife got home a day early from her week long hospital stay so the whole evening was a bit of scrambling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

A egg tortilla burrito.

Is this a yahoo comments thing? Since I usually see chuds doing the whole what they ate today thing on yahoo news comments

Usually on news stories with zoomer era celebrities that they have no idea who they are

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I had meatballs, frozen peas, and potato salad.

Took far too long. He got ~70 years more than he should have.

"if you gave ~~Jerry Falwell~~ Jimmy Swaggart an enema you could bury him in a matchbox." - Christopher Hitchens (would have said RIP)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Had to chew on this to figure it out.

Enemas inject things, so why would it make someone smaller?

Enemas are used to clear stools. Constipation relief.

Ahh. I get it now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Don't feel bad, it was a very subtle jab. The best part was it was at the end of a Fox News interview as they cut away, so it was what I liked to call a sarcasm grenade. Pull the pin, let it sit for a minute. Boom.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

A classic. 🥰

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Prostitution shouldn’t be a scandal. But also, all televangelists deserve to die.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

Hypocrisy was the real scandal. Not so much the prostitution. I'm certain there was a ton of anti-sex work judgement to go along with that. But otherwise I fully agree.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

It’s the hypocrisy. SW should be legal/decriminalized, but this motherfucker would have preached against fornication while getting a BJ under the pulpit if he thought he’d get away with it.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago

Finally, some good news.

Jimmy: “boy heaven sure is hot!” “And why am I in a hot tub of lava next to hitler and Regan?”

Christopher Hitchens on the death of Jerry Falwell

I love at the end: "If you gave him an enema, you could bury him in a matchbox." I think of that every time I hear of another one of these evil fucking dominionists dying.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hell gained another demon today

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

The earth was force-fed another pile of garbage today

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

"Oh well 😀"

Imagine being so shitty that people consider it good news when they hear of your death. I should hope to at least aim for a neutral reaction, or better...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Encounters" is such a funny way to phrase it. Like he was traveling through the woods on a quest and had to roll on the random table upon which a pack of wolves was also an option.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

C'mon epic battle... Epic battle please... DAMNIT! Sex workers AGAIN!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Swaggart "Can I roll to convince the sex workers to leave me alone?"

GM "Sure."

Swaggart rolls a nat 20

Swaggart "Oh no, it looks like I rolled a nat 1. Looks like I have to sleep with the sex workers, again."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Contributors built Jimmy Swaggart Ministries into a business that made an estimated $142 million in 1986...

... Swaggart said publicly that his earnings were hurt in 1987 by the sex scandal.

Mawww.

Snorting meth off a gay hooker's butt forever in the afterlife

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was

Ooh, yes, he was

Jimmy converted to Islam at the last second. He wanted to be surrounded by 72 virgin prostitutes.
