the pastor at my church is crazy

i'm serious.

does anybody have a digital voice recorder i can borrow? i need to record his next couple homilies.

i will first say that english is not the pastor's first language, and so sometimes it MAY seem as though he doesn't fully understand what he is saying, or the words he is making up. but that shouldn't be an excuse.

as it moves closer and closer to election day, the pastor painfully tries to inject political influence into his sunday sermon. usually it's the same ol shtick about prop 8, and even with that he scares me. two or three sundays ago, father had argued, [paraphrased] "we need to pass this proposition, blah blah blah, it is a human rights issue". and all i could do was put my head down in shock and disbelief. human rights?! are you kidding me? did you just infer that i need to vote yes on prop 8 because doing otherwise would be a violation of human rights?!

in his latest episode, pastor made more subtle attempts of political influence, saying that we are really only held to the law of god's image for us or something like that. in my opinion, he was only saying this just in case prop 8 doesn't pass.

but in any case, i need to record what he says. maybe i should even youtube it.

joshy, my priest does the same thing! however, english is his first language so he's just straightforward and blunt about it.
