"That is one of the filthiest, most derogatory and sinful uses of the Lord's name I can think of."
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Jun 30, 2015
The Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas is pissed off at various reports that their senior pastor, John Hagee, said that women who scream God in a moment of passion should be "thrown in jail."
An official statement from Cornerstone Church's Legal Department says, "The story is a complete fabrication. It's written by a website that makes up these kind of stories in an effort to be humorous. All media outlets that have picked up this story have been contacted by John Hagee Ministries and will issue a retraction or face legal action."
Hagee's comments about what women say during sex were originally reported in an interview by Newslo.com, who describe themselves as the first hybrid news/satire platform on the web, with readers coming to them for a unique brand of entertainment, and information that's enhanced by features like their fact-button, which allows readers to find what's true and what's humor.
While discussing the 10 Commandments, Hagee expressed his frustration over churches in America not taking the use of God's name in vain seriously.
"Saying the Lord's name in vain might seem petite and insignificant compared to some of the things that are going on in the world right now, even in churches all across America," Hagee reportedly said.
"But that's precisely the problem. If shepherds of a faith start doing wrong, what is the flock supposed to do? Follow in their footsteps? I don't think so. The flock needs to get its bearings and start thinking for itself."
Newslo claims Hagee went on to address women who use it while doing the deed, but if you highlight it, it's pretty clear that it's the satire part of the article.
"That is one of the filthiest, most derogatory and sinful uses of the Lord's name I can think of. If it were up to me, I would put every single woman or girl who does that in jail," Hagee allegedly said. "That would be a fine example of God's wrath aimed at what is, in my opinion, a terrible misuse of our Maker's good name."
At any rate, even if the Newslo piece was satirical, the Cornerstone church doesn't see any humor in the situation and are prepared to pursue legal action.
It just goes to show you that some people have no sense of humor. Maybe, instead of saying God, we should all just scream "Hagee" during sex. That way, no one's panties will be tied up in a bunch.
