You
know those times when you see the child of famous parents and the incongruity is
as high as an elephant's eye? This is one of those
times.
Meet Jay Bakker, son of the infamous televangelists
Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Messner. Yes, that's him pictured above -- tattooed,
pierced and bearded. Not only that, he's a preacher -- and he is totally
affirming of gay people.
Intrigued? You can get to know him
even better in a new six-part reality-series, 'One Punk Under God,' which tells
the story of how one punk rock-loving preacher man is bucking the evangelical
system, building a new kind of church, and making peace with his famous dad and
with his mother's failing health. Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey produced, the
same team that gave us 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye.'
Jay
Bakker's Revolution
church flier
bills itself with this tag line: "As Christians, we're sorry for being
self-righteous, judgmental bastards."
I think I
might like this guy.

You can't help what your born into and reflecting back on those TABLOID "scandalized" days is just a continues reminder of current events
that have occured throughout history and even today. Except it's reading more like a MAD comic magazine W/O the humor!
So, enough is enough and let's get down to what's really important.
I believe the greatest trick that man has ever pulled was!
"Convincing a nation that they were born free."
