As news comes that the Catholic Church has cut off funding for ACORN, they might want to consider cutting of their ties to Christianity as well, or some permutation thereof:
The pastor of a mega-church says he will challenge married congregants during his sermon Sunday to have sex for seven straight days — and he plans to practice what he preaches.
“We’re going to give it a try,” said the Rev. Ed Young, who has four children with his wife of 26 years.
Young, 47, said he believes society promotes promiscuity and he wants to reclaim sex for married couples. Sex should be a nurturing, spiritual act that strengthens marriages, he said.
“God says sex should be between a married man and a woman,” Young said. “I think it’s one of the greatest things you can do for your kids because so goes the marriage, so goes the family.”
If there was any doubt that mega churches are basically marketing driven cash cows, this should pretty much clear it up. Since when are pastors in the business of leaking their sermons to the Associated Press? Second, as a general philosophy, do you really think that the best way to fix high divorce rates is to encourage the notion that you should get married so you can have sex? And on a more serious note, who wants to picture their religious leaders getting all Biblical with it?
