Letters To Landover: Pastor's Mailbag

OCTOBER 2007
A Small Sample of e-mails unedited and in original form

This is disgusting. While haplessly attempting to promote Christianity, damning the faults of others, you are ignorantly displaying far worse choices quite contradictory to what Jesus would want. "The Unsaved not Welcome"??!!! Jesus welcomed sinners and believers alike -opened his arms to the goodness of every human being. Clearly you are also ignorant as to the nature of Jesus' biography as well: Jesus was a Jew. To curse and demean the Jewish faith is shameful and most-definitely un-Christian. How ironic that you scorn sexuality in Toy Story II but then advertise WWJD THONGS below. A Christian myself I am ashamed to see this on the public internet domain. How dare you take the position of Christ's advocator and then slander people and principles he holds dear. I pray for your souls as you paradoxically corrupt one another's.

I am a Wiccan, and what you are doing is unethical and against America's Freedom... Isn't it ironic that Catholics and other religions fled England because of persecution?? And now your doing the same exact thing? Wow! what a loving god you cherish! And for your information I did go to church for 10 years at a Baptist church and when I needed help the most they turned their back and kicked me to the curb. So as far as I am concerned your so called "god" is non-existant. I would rather have my skin peeled off and dipped in a tub of acid then go to your "holy church"

Dear sir, except for mocking 57 percent of Christians (Catholics), I saw nothing funny, intellectual or heard nothing out of your mouth that changed my mind about being Catholic. As a matter of fact, you simply reaffirmed my beliefs and made me more grateful than I have ever been before in my entire life (and I'm 61 now) and even realized AGAIN that I am in the one true church established by Jesus Christ Himself! What a terrible thing you did. I have been to confession many times (once a week for the first eight years of my life while in grade school and now every 3 months and NEVER have I been to confession, that I recall, to a priest in a "skirt," as you call it. And if I've forgotten and have gone once or twice to one in a "cassock," I assure you the priest was doing ONLY what he was there to do and nothing more. Jesus told His disciples (the first priests of the Catholic Church) whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven, and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. And for the record, I've done a lot of investigational work on sex abuse, as one of my best friends is Baptist. I checked every protestant religion that I could think of and EVERY ONE OF THEM has had sexual abuse and hidden it! The Catholic Church is not the only religion that has done this! THAT MEANS, BAPTISTS HAVE DONE THIS AS WELL! So, before you go around pointing fingers, let him among us without sin cast the first stone!!! Yes, Catholics read and study the bible (THE WHOLE BIBLE - NOT THE ONE YOU GO BY WITH BOOKS THAT WERE REMOVED). Peter was the first pope of the Catholic Church. Jesus said to him "Peter (which means rock or stone), upon this rock I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." Funny how the Catholic Church has always been around for thousands of years and all your protest churches evolved off from Her because someone wanted to get a divorce, or didn't believe in the virgin birth, or think that the Blessed Mother doesn't deserve the recognition she deserves. She helps her Son bring people like you to Her Son! I'll pray for you that some day God will open your eyes, soften your hard heart, and you tell God and us Catholics that you apologize for the terrible statements you made. I'll even use "those beads" and say a Rosary for you, sir. You need many prayers. Pat Yorg

I am sure you hear this a lot, but your supposed scriptures and warped ideas of Christianity are alarming. I wonder what God would say about your cult and the mistreatment of children. Demon posessed. A baby crawling away from a Bible is automatically labeled as demon posessed? That is one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard.

I am sure that if you even respond to this email, you will inform me of your OPINION that I am going to "burn in hell forever.." Save me a spot because I am sure you will be there right next to me.

Please believe there is not an ounce of malicious, vicious, or any other kind of spirit in this e-mail. Just a spirit of concern for your ministry that it not be damaged.

You do understand that Gene Roddenberry was a atheist?

If you still think that Klingons are supposed to be Arabs, lets think about the times when the show came out. The biggest threat was the Russians and the Klingons were made to emulate the public idea of the "military society" that we thought russia was at the time. we were not worried about arabs with airliners, we were worried about russian nukes destroying our society.

so if anything the Klingons are a political commentary of the soviet union...not a faith based commentary of arabs.

I find your ideas pretty racist and very narrow minded...it makes me glad to be a atheist if this is what it means to be baptist or christian or whatever you call yourselves.

Not all arabs are monsters and I hope not all christians are either.

I also find it funny that all of your articles are stock full of hypocrisy. I actually thought this site was a bad joke at first, and still am not sure you all are for real.

You are behaving in the exact opposite that Jesus would if he were in the flesh here on earth. Jesus is love and the opposite of love is hate. You preach Hate and Satan is a jealous and hateful and evil fallen angel. So, all in all, your satanic ways posing as "Christians" will be judged by our maker at the end of days for he knows of all the deceivers ways. We are in a spiritual warfare every minute where souls are at stake, you seek to deceive them by showing them a twisted and perverted Christianity, thus making them turn away. The goal being for Satan, less support on God's side, less saved ones and more he can corrupt. Others, called truly by Christ, seek to spread his word so as many unbelievers will be saved. I will pray that you do not delve too much damage on the unbelievers we are to love and to reach out to with your poisoned minds and hearts. You are basically an anti-christ in my eyes and a radical much like Jim Jones or David Koresh.

As a Christian I will pray for your salvation and for your love for Jesus to overpower the satanic hold that has been placed on you to profess blasphemy.

God Bless.

You silly little sheep! Do you truly believe that much in your Holy God that everyone else who DOESN'T believe in him will go to hell!? LMAO

You know how ignorant and how much of a fucking idiot you are!? If you were not so blind in your Holy Bullshit of a Crusade, and took the time for open-mindness, you would come to find that your religion is younger than my Pagan beliefs.

For example, mate, CHRISTMAS, honouring the "beloved Jesus Christ", was in fact, taken from my Christmas beliefs in the Pagan beliefs. While perhaps true, Christ was born on the 24th of December, it was also that, 2000 years before Christianity, the idea of gift-giving was going on at that time in the Pagan beliefs. It was a time to celebrate the Crone.

Easter, another joke. While okay, I can accept the possibility in a miracle that Jesus Christ had arisen on the third day, EASTER came from the Pagan belief of OESTE - celebrating life and love. While you guys keep changing between March and April when Easter is and should be, you'll find that we celebrat OESTE on 21 March - consistently. This is because of the Vernal Equinox.

Valentine's Day, created by the Romans, who, mind you, created the Roman Catholic Church - the most corrupt religion of all times (behind Satanism, of course), was created from a Pagan holiday and changed to celebrate a bloke named St. Valentine. Now that's gay in itself!

Now, the whole - Holyweener thing, you have got to be fucking kidding me! Holy Weener, that sounds as gay as a 7 dollar bill with a 3 and 4 for change! Do you honestly believe children are going to HELL because they dress up and want CANDY!? Shit, you guys give your alter boys candy when you want to cop a feel of THEIR WEENERS, and to boot, it's actually once again, a Pagan belief - Hallow's Eve, which celebrates the life of our long lost beloveds and friends and family. It's to celebrate THEIR LIVES that they had once lived!

I honestly find it hard to believe there's a god out there cruel enough to accept only Christians and strong believers of your kind and faith. Let alone, you all think you're perfect. Shit, if you were perfect than the words you spew out of your sewage cum-dumpsters would be the most beautiful sound in the world, including the flatuence from your asses! The beliefs, if they were truly perfect, would be called "THE WAY", and EVERYONE would practice it, and there'd be only two kinds of people in the world - CHRISTIANS and SATANISTS!

So you tell your "FLOCK" everything I said, with the exceptions of my "naughty words" I have spoken. And you tell them what I think. Oh, and while you're at it, the next time you pray to your GOD, while you're bent over the alter, you tell him I said he could go FUCK HIS SELF, tell Jesus to stop being a bitch, and tell Mary that she was no way virgin - the fucking whore! One more thing, tell your congregation they're a bunch of racist fucking idiots, for I truly feel sorry for them when they meet whomever is the Creator and passes them to judge.

May you and everyone that listens to the shit that spews out of your uncontrollable sewage spill of a cum-dumpster be mounted by raging water buffalos! Ciao!

Cheers,

Someone that's very pissed off with you fucking Christians!

PS - I would love to see your responses, so if anyone in your congregation, namely YOU, have any cock and balls, respond to me, and remember, this is no threat, for I am exercising my rights of the First Amendment in which I had proudly defended!

E. Jonathan Stosal
