'and then he swallowed a sword and Jesus cried'

https://atlantablackstar.com/2024/04/15/mega-pastor-booted-from-the-pulpit-for-slamming-male-strippers/


A disturbance in the pulpit at the annual Christian “Stronger Men’s Conference” has thrust megachurch founder Pastor Mark Driscoll back into the spotlight of controversy.

The former Mars Hills Church leader caused an uproar when he spoke at the two-day conference held at the Great Southern Bank Arena in Springfield, Missouri, on April 12.

The embattled organized religion figure took issue with the conference enlisting a performance of acrobatic stunts from Alex Magala, a professional martial artist whose sword swallowing has been placed on stages like NBC’s “Got Talent” and as part of the opening ceremony at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi.

A male acrobatic sword swallower and former male stripper was hired by a male preacher to perform at an all male xtian retreat and another male pastor who objected to the entertainment invokes Jezebel? Misogyny much?
