Mark Driscoll, anti-woman pastor, is in freefall - accused of bullying other pastors at megachurch
A quick review of Driscolls greatest hits: Stay-at-home dads are worse than unbelievers. James Camerons Avatar is the most demonic, satanic film hes ever seen. A wife should keep herself sexually available to her husband and, if she believes the Bible, better be giving him frequent blowjobs. Effeminate church musicians should be mocked on Facebook. Abstaining from alcohol can be a sin. The church has turned Jesus into a a Richard Simmons, hippie, queer Christ, when hes actually a prize fighter who is coming back looking for blood. The Bible says women cant have leadership positions in church because theyre more gullible and easier to deceive than men. Male masturbation is a form of homosexuality if theres not a woman present.

Please take note that:
Driscoll seemed intent on shoring up the home base, what has become in 18 years one of the nation's fastest growing evangelical churches with 15 campuses in 5 states. "I love you and I really appreciate you," he told the flock of about 500. They gave him a standing ovation.
After reading his book and listening to him all these years, they applauded.

Some excerpts from the link above. There are thousands involved in these little hate filled cults now, even in blue states. While the original article was from 2012, it was updated in 2013. I expect he's still grifting and teaching his sick 'gospel':
Mark Driscolls Sex Manual Real Marriage Scandalizes Evangelicals
Evangelicals of all stripes are outraged at a new marriage book by controversial Seattle pastor Mark Driscoll, from conservatives shocked by the graphic sex descriptions to liberals who hate its degrading of women.
You know an evangelical book is controversial when the New York Times and the Daily Mail start covering the fallout. That happened last year when hipster pastor Rob Bells book, Love Wins, failed to say unequivocally that non-Christians go to hell. Its about to happen again with Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship and Life Together, a marriage and sex manual from Seattle megachurch pastor Mark Driscoll and his wife, Grace, that just cracked Amazons top 50 and is sparking a heated online debate. Just about everything Driscoll says seems calculated to go viral.
One of the biggest evangelical celebrity pastors, hes developed a reputation as a testosterone-oozing Calvinist bruiser who shouts down his congregation, swears from the pulpit and sometimes seems to think that if youre not cut out for the locker room, youre not cut out for heaven. If youre a woman, youd better make sure you keep your husband fed and serviced...
The treatment of the book as a shock document is jarring considering how long straight talk about sex has been a feature of evangelical cool. (As I write, a Texas pastor and his wife are livestreaming themselves in bed on the church roof to promote their new sex book.) The Driscolls tone is straightforward and factual, far less graphic than a Judd Apatow movie, and surprisingly free of Driscolls infamous overstatement. Mark Driscoll has said virtually everything in Real Marriage in other books and sermons, and his permissive stance toward deviance in the marriage bed has precursors at least as far back as 1981s Intended for Pleasure, a popular sex manual written by Ed and Gaye Wheat. Historian Susan Wise Bauer points this out in the Christian review Books & Culture: The recommendations can pretty well be summed up in two phrases: Sure, if you both want to, as long as it doesnt cause a problem. Fair enough, but Ed Wheat, among others, already said it...
There are links embedded within the article at TDB, but I don't have the time. This another reason why I shy away from vocal Xtians now. What great dates these guys will make for some unsuspecting women.
