The Sermon

Praise God, Minister Stanley yelled. Let the church say amen, they did as usual. Today God has sent me to deliver a message about our youth. What is going on in our community? These children are killing each other, killing our people with these drugs, and their sexuality is out of control. I remember the days when everything was simple, and honoring thy mother and father was just as strong as a constitutional law. Now they can care less about anything except this demonic music, partying, and having sex. Our whole society has been shaped around these sexual ideas of freedom, a freedom that would have got you killed years ago. Now we have girls dressing like boys, boys being the girls, and let’s not forget about the sex change non sense they have going. Say it pastor, Hallelujah, an elder shouted. We have to stop this madness and god has sent me today with way to get rid of these demons, especially that homosexual devil. Praise be God, Glory, Yes Lord came from the congregation. We will save our children, and cast these evil things back to hell in the name of Jesus. WE ARE IN HELL! , came shrieking from the back of the church. The pastor was appalled and looked for who had said this. Sinner, he said, come forth into the eyes of God. You are not god unless you’ve become some kind of idle worshipper. I am a God-fearing man, said the pastor, and you young man. Who are you? My name is Oliver West your highness, and I am a sinner just like you. But I’ve got more a chance of getting into heaven preacher man. Huh, the minister chuckled, so you say young man. Oh yes I do because unlike you, all mighty leader, I don’t pass judgment on anyone for what they do or what they represent. You’re interrupting God’s word with this foolishness, he said intensely. No sir, YOUR words are frivolous, if it was truly God’s message you would have never heard me in the first place. Well, son the devil uses all of us for his trickery. Yes pastor your right, the biggest devil in here right now is you. I’m going to stand here and give my testimony whether you like it or not. All of you, said Oliver, look at you. Go ahead take a good look at each other, you can’t even pay your bills but you Sunday outfits are over 300 dollars. You sit there and have the nerve to point fingers at people, when your book clearly says “thou shalt not judge”. You’re all like rooks in a game of chess, being manipulated and moved around for the gain of your King and Queen. Yeah, I’m talking your pastor and his main hoe; they all gasped for air like an asthmatic around 10 smokers. Oh, Oliver said, I get it now it’s ok for your pastor to bash others, but no one can bash him in return. Go ahead, gon’ get ya bibles, fake fans and start a protest. I got news for you though, those days are over. I’m standing in front of you because I am a homosexual man; I am a man of God. No I’m not rolling around in a tutu and fairy wings, but if another man chooses to do so I dare not tell him he is an abomination. You come in here every week talking about the same ole things; the youth and how we’re messed up. Have you forgotten, your parents did the same to you? Did it stop you from enjoying your life as you saw fit? Look around again, how many of you are married to someone your parents didn’t approve of? Was that a sin or just you following your heart? I really don’t give a damn about your personal life, and so why do you care about mine? You think those drug dealers don’t know the bible better than your pastor, you’re fooling yourselves. I’ve learned more about God from hustlers and hoes than from any of you in here. I admit to being a sinner, but this is the last time anyone bashes me in God’s house. We have become savages, a culture filled with monsters. Yet we sit here grinning in each other’s faces knowing that hate we carry in our hearts for one another. No more, I want no part of it; tears began to roll down his cheeks. It’s not ok for two men to have sex, but when your sons have anal sex with your daughters they get a pass. What’s the need for a “straight” woman to your anus when she has a vagina? Society says it ok that’s why. Still doesn’t dispute that fact that your sons are having, what is considered to be, homosexual sex your daughters. Now you tell me who the faggot really is? Oliver fixed his tie, adjusted his coat, wiped his face, and walked out the church with his head high.
