I Have a Headache
Priest. Soccer. Homosexual. Seriously.
A Russian Orthodox Priest has claimed that the World Cup is an abomination because players wear brightly-coloured shoes.
Writing in his column on Russian People’s Line, Priest Alexander Shumsky claimed that players are promoting a “gay rainbow” by wearing green, pink, yellow and blue shoes.
He said: “Wearing pink or blue shoes, [the players] might as well wear women’s panties or a bra.
“The liberal ideology of globalism clearly wants to oppose Christianity with football. I’m sure of it.
Me, too. Totally sure of it.
Quit snickering. I’m happy to know that our Super DeLux Brand Christians have some decent Russian competition.
Wasn’t it Pat Robertson who thought the Teletubbies were gay?
The priest also criticized the “unthinkable” hairstyles of some of the players in the tournament.
Well, at least the Teletubbies don’t have that problem.
Thanks to Carol for the heads up.
Hmmmm… hunky soccer players in panties. Make a great beefcake calendar.
1Blast from the past! When Jerry Falwell debated Tinky Winky I was at that awkward age; too old for a bicycle and too young for a car. Needless to say, also too old to watch the Teletubbies and too sane to care about anything Jerry Televangelist had to say.

2Too bad he lives in Russia. If he were in America he could join up with Hobby Lobby and get SCOTUS to take action.
3this is all this guy has to do? doesn’t his religion also have Matthew 25?
4You would think, since we have color vision and can see that color is everywhere–flowers, birds, fish, dragonflies, beetles–we would not fall into the stupidity of thinking that color ALWAYS signals human gender issues. Given that the priest in question probably thinks God created the universe, and humans, and our color vision is thus from God, and colors are from God…is he going to say that a field of multicolored flowers is God promoting a gay rainbow? (Hmmm…actually, if we could convince him that it IS God promoting a gay rainbow, maybe he’d quite being homophobic???)
5Just imagine if Putin wed Snowgrift Snoozie you’d have a black belt in stoopidity. Before they ever consummated their marriage,she’d be sent to Siberia where she can tell Pravda she can see Alaska from her place. That was Jerry Fatwell,the round mound of getting jiggy with jesus that had a problem with Teletubbies.(easpecially Tinkie Winkie and that damn purple dinosaur Barney)
6Good grief, Charlie Brown!
7OMG Easter eggs celebrate the gay lifestyle!
8He needs to get out more. I could say that he needs… well, how do I say it without offending Mama? But he could be getting it anyway, since married men can become orthodox priests. On the other hand, he needs to spend a lot less time imagining World Cup players in panties and a bra.
9Didn’t the last Pope wear a white embroidered dress and red prada shoes?
10Religion: if you’re pointing fingers at other people, you’re doing it wrong.
11Grown men who walk around in long black dresses should clean up their own act before condemning others.
12On the plus side these guys do want to take back Alaska, so they’re not all bad: http://www.vice.com/read/russian-orthodox-priests-want-alaska-back-because-of-gay-marriage
Now if we could just steer them in Mississippi’s direction.

It was even in Texas! Can’t see the shoes, but the robes are enough to give the good Bishop a stroke.
14Remember ‘My Conviction’ from the musical Hair? ” … There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage and fine feathers are not proper for the male. But actually, that is the way things are in most species.”
15You mean like this?

Sweet dreams are made of these …
Who am I to disagree?
Some folks doth complain too much!!
LOL … such priggish idiots simply boggle the mind!!
17@Elizabeth I’m afraid if that happened there would be a bunch of crazies calling for the destruction of multicolored flowers.
How much Agent Orange would Jesus use?
18And here we have another cleric ignoring the purpose of his calling: minister to the sick, help the poor and LOVE one another. Not judge, not condemn, but LOVE.
19Re: Russia taking back Alaska
20Hell as long as Siberian Snooki and her progeny reside there Russia can have Alaska. Hell throw in the unpleasant parts of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama as well.
PKM- I know about awkward but I didn’t know you could be too old for a bicycle.I realize that’s a situational statement and not a general one. I, for one will take my stance from H. G. Wells When I see an adult on a bicycle, I have hope for the human race.
21donquijoterocket, I do remember from HS physics that a person on a bicycle is one of the more efficient machines. Will also take a kayak or a canoe over a noisy jet ski, any day. But there were those teenage years of being ever so grateful for the first prom date that didn’t include Mom or Pop doing the driving.
22@Zyxomma Yeah, particularly those of the avian species. Then there’s the University of Louisville ladies basketball team. Female Cardinals of the avian variety are quite drab. But the Louisville Ladies basketball team is QUITE colorful. ;-}
