Why would you spend all this energy and money just to buy out a porn store so that you could shut it down? Do you really think you are eliminating sin from the world one porn store at a time? This is seriously the most ridiculous thing I have read all morning and I work in a law firm, so I think that's saying something.
"Ramirez says that's just the beginning. He says the church will be collecting more money to buy-out other porno shops in the community [so they can shut them down]"
245 grand could send ten kids to college, could help a lot of homeless people or feed a lot of starving children or do any number of other things that good christians might better serve others by doing. You know, that thing that Christ always talked about, helping others? I am sure that in some deeply demented way, this Ramirez and his kookie congregation have convinced themselves that they ARE helping others, by eliminating a porn store, thereby preventing others from indulging in sin. Oh that's right. I'm sure that everybody who patronized that porn store will now just resign themselves to a life of pure and sinless activities, never again indulging in sexual or perverted fantasies. PLEASE! Do something useful with your 245 grand! They might as well have thrown it down into the fiery pits of hell, all the good it will do...
They could have all taken a trip to a third world country to bring toys and food to orphans or could have gone and helped families in India who are forced to sell their children into slavery just to survive. But what did they do? They bought a fucking porn store? God that is just so warped I can't even comprehend the logic behind it.
P.S. The whole thing makes me want to move to Connecticut and open a porn store. I think we should all move to Connecticut and open porn stores! Yaaay for porn stores!
Posted by Maria at July 24, 2003 01:34 PMWe have an excellent porn store right outside the gates here in Colorado Springs and I would be more than upset if it got shut down..I've been watching porn since I was around 17 and btw just rented Ron Jeremys documentary(EXCELLENT)
I personally don't find porn offensive and it's not in the local A&P, so why would anyone care? You don't like it, don't go into the damn store. The sign on the door shouldn't give any church going person the wrong impression...not like you'll wander in there on accident.
I'm with you Maria on the spending of that 245 grand...man they could really do some good w/that.
Never.....NEVER.....get 'tween a man and his p0rn.
What's funny is that after they bought the store, I betcha a bunch of 'items' went MIA before they threw it all away..:)
Course, if I was the store owner, I'd use the bucks to start a NEW adult shop, and invite the pastors to the grand opening..:)
