Sumpter, who calls himself the pastor at Christ Church here in Moscow. After reading his blog, I am not sure he is a pastor, as he claims, but instead I think he is the devil incarnate, spewing forth filth that he claims is in line with the gospel of the Savior. Have you ever heard the Savior use these words?</div><div><br></div><div>I quote directly from his blog: "The #MeToo movement is a complete scam, a complete con-job, a full-throated cheat. #MeToo is a diseased pig wearing a dinner gown and a ludicrous smear of lipstick. #MeToo is a hag with hairy legs shuffling around in a pink tutu. #MeToo is an obese butch with a smoker's voice trying to sing a lullaby. #MeToo is a parasitic farce that sucks the blood of a charade that picks fleas from a travesty of a lie that was so lame they gave it a Nobel Peace Prize. It's a sham, a speckled corpse, a black tooth, a fraud."</div><div><br></div><div>I believe in freedom of speech and have no problem with him expressing his feelings toward the #MeToo movement as well as the other subjects he spews vomit about in his blog.</div><div><br></div><div>However, I strongly object to someone using the Savior as his "fall boy," the one he purports to be supportive of his hatred and prejudice toward others different from him. I know the scriptures well, and never once has the Savior taught anything else but love for each other, to love your neighbor as yourself, love one another as I have loved you ... all loving, all compassionately caring. This pseudo-pastor needs help. I hope he can find a good therapist to cure him of his illusions of being a Christian.</div><div><br></div><div>Lorna Bickerdyke</div><div>Moscow</div></div><div><br></div><div>———————————————<br><br><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares"</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></body></html>
