US pastor Mark Driscoll, invited by Hillsong Church to its Australian conference, is under increasing fire for statements including preaching that women were created to house a man's penis.
Or maybe a penis house. Maybe a bit like a bird house...
The thought of being a scabbard for a man's penis. I have this image of walking around, literally joined at the hips all day and night, so that the delicate member can be housed properly. I mean, can't they just use a jock strap, and if it gets cold, couldn't they make some kind of soft, absorbent penis cuff for it?
[His} book became a New York Times best seller. But not without controversy. Driscoll came under fire when it was discovered his church had paid $25,000 to a marketing company. The company bought a bunch of books — making it appear as if they were individual purchases — to push the book into best-seller status, according to an article in Christianity Today.
That may be an attempt at damage control after things really fell apart for Driscoll, I don't know. Regardless, I don't think trying to get him barred from entering the country under these circumstances is particularly wise.Brian Houston, Hillsong's founder, stressed that Mr Driscoll had been invited along before he resigned from Mars Hill Church, and would not be giving a lecture.
"Rather than having Mark preach or teach, I am excited about interviewing Mark and his wife, Grace, from our main platform during our Hillsong Conference 2015," he wrote in a statement released in March.
"Mark has been candid about mistakes he has made, and if we can, through our conference, help others through his life experiences, we think that will prove valuable."
But you guys have Tim Minchin. It's gonna take a lot of Pastor Driscoll types to tilt out of that happy fact.
He's wonderful.We do. And that always cheers me right up. What a lovely boy he is.
I believe plural would be peni, though spellcheck suggests penni.See? Here's a unique storage option for penis-- - wait, what is the plural of penis?
Never, hopefully, to be confused with penne which is good al dente with marinara sauce, whereas penni would be good in neither such circumstance, much less both. If fact, I'm sure there's a nightmare waiting to happen from that word bridge.I believe plural would be peni, though spellcheck suggests penni.
