This article originally appeared on NBC affiliate WFIE14's web site at http://www.14wfie.com/Global/story.asp?s=8945, but now it says "our apologies...you have reached a page that is currently unavailable..." blah blah blah.
However, doing a search for "democrats church" on their site brings up this page: http://www.14wfie.com/Global/SearchResults.asp?qu=democrats+church, showing that the article used to be there.
Anyway, here it is, in all its insanity:
"NC-Preacher Throws Democrats Out of His Church
May 6, 2005, 3:29 PM
"The minister of a Haywood County, North Carolina Baptist church is telling members of his congregation that if they're Democrats, they either need to find another place of worship or support President Bush.
"Already, the Reverend Chan Chandler has ex-communicated nine members of East Waynesville Baptist Church. Another 40 members have left in protest. During last Sunday's sermon, he acknowledged that church members were upset because he named people, and he says he'll do it again because he has to according to the word of God.
"Chandler could not be reached for comment Friday, but says his actions weren't politically motivated. One former church member says Chandler told some of the members that if they didn't support George Bush, they needed to resign their positions and get out of the church, or go to the altar, repent and agree to vote for Bush.
"A former church treasurer says she's at church to worship God and not the preacher."
Also, speaking of religion and Christianity...loosely, anyway.......Jesus Christ cannot get a drivers license in West Virginia.
A "white-haired businessman" who has been using the name "Jesus Christ" for 15 years cannot get a drivers license in West Virginia. According to MSNBC, "He has a U.S. passport, Social Security card and Washington, D.C., drivers license bearing the name Jesus Christ."
West Virginia won't let him get a drivers license under the name Jesus Christ because his Florida birth certificate bears his real name, "Peter Robert Philips, Jr.," and he hasn't gotten an official name change in Washington.
Mr. Philips, or Mr. Christ, tried to get an official name change two years ago by a District of Columbia court, but a judge denied the change, saying that the name could provoke a "violent reaction" or "significantly" offend people. Christ's attorney says the attempted name change was an expression of his faith.
...And Starbucks has officially banned the new album by The Boss, Bruce Springsteen.
His new album, "Devils and Dust," apparently has a song that offended the Starbucks bosses. The song "Reno" on the album is about an encounter at a Nevada brothel, referencing oral sex and the line: "Two hundered dollars straight in, two-fifty in the ass."
If you ever thought that a double vanilla latte and prostitution mixed well, you are mistaken.
