  1. I have to say, that was literally my exact same thought.

    Sometimes you blame the guy that says crazy things at the dinner party, but sometimes you have to blame the people that invited Crazy Guy in the first place.

    • Seriously, the man made national news after a highly-publicized horrorshow of a public “prayer,” and someone in Iowa still thought “he’s just the ticket for our school!”

  2. “Dean’s band — Junkyard Prophet, a Christian heavy metal/rap group — performed at Dunkerton High School on Thursday and then split the audience up into several groups: boys, girls and teachers. They reportedly told the girls that they would have mud on their wedding dresses if they weren’t virgins, advised them to take a submissive role in their marriages and showed images of aborted fetuses.”

    Can I admit that a tiny part of me wishes I could have been there?

    • I too wish you (or someone like you) had been there — for the sake of the children.

    • Go into the editor and look at the right-hand column and scroll down a bit. You’ll see an area called “tags”. You’ll see the tag in question with a little ‘x’ next to it (the x is in a solid grey circle). Click the ‘x’.

      Save the post.

        • If all else fails, you can always edit the database directly. I have no idea how to do that with your site, though.

        • I went in to try to change it myself, only to accidentally add “Dear God” as a tag. WHich has given me an uncontrollable case of the giggles.

  3. Hoy hoy hoy! Things have sho’ nuff changed in the Christian world. They used to say rock music was Satanic when I was a young man.

    Well, upon reflection, maybe it still is, if these Junkyard Prophets are any gauge of the matter.
