On October 2, Allendale United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg, Florida, hosted a drag queen during its Sunday service, allowing him/her to deliver a sermon on “acceptance” and join the ministers at the altar to assist during the service.
Isaac Simmons, the drag queen, who was dressed like a demon, preached the importance of defeating “systems of oppression” in society and Christianity in order to truly “love one’s neighbor as oneself.”
Simmons stated: “We are here to learn and to grow and to deconstruct and to reimagine what church can be, who church can be for, and how church can feel together.” It is obvious that Simmons wants church to be “for” him—and cringeworthy that he talks about how it “can feel together.”
The demon drag queen added: “[Church] can be a place unafraid to denounce queerphobia, a place unafraid to name the sin of racism, and to call for an end to white supremacy. A place where all have equal and equitable access not just to the pulpit itself, to the sanctuary, but to God themself, and all that it represents within the community.” Of course. Church is a place to denounce “queerphobia,” but also to welcome a homosexual drag queen dressed as a demon sermonizing about acceptance while referring to God as “themself.”
In other words, we must embrace the hostile takeover fundamental transformation of the Christian church and religion or be smeared as bigots.
Incredibly, Simmons, who when dressed in drag goes by the name of “Ms. Penny Cost” – a blasphemous allusion to Pentecost and the Holy Spirit – is currently in the process of seeking ordination in the United Methodist Church.

Yock, double yuck. Sorry for the double click my mouse does sometimes.
St. Pete has some rough areas. Drop this thing off Friday night at 0200 in the hood.
Why was anyone sitting in the pews??
Same admin PLEASE edit this thread, one picture is already TOO MUCH
I feel bad that this person is mentally ill and needs help, but if they have an issue with God, they need to take it up with him not lecture those of us simply following God.
Appears the homo lobby has infiltrated the Methodist Church.
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:8-9 ESV)
John Wesley in heaven, it is time to call on our Lord to cleanse His church.
She seems nice....
“ One of the things I think is great about Ms. Penny Cost is that she reminds us that we follow a God who calls us not to conform to things of this world,” Oliver told the children of his congregation. “We are supposed to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. That means what I think today may have to change tomorrow if I continue to renew my mind. It’s so cool that we serve a God who calls us to continue to grow, to continue to change into something new and not be bound by the ways that the world confines us sometimes.”
Oliver, a graduate of United Methodist-affiliated Duke Divinity School, serves as president of the Methodist Federation for Social Action
That law was written down about three thousand years ago. It is much older than the written form. It predates Judaism and shares common roots in all major religions. It has stood the test for millennia because it is wisdom. It is truth.
The United Methodist Church, and many other Churches, would much better serve their flocks by saving souls and teaching wisdom that allows souls to be saved.
I see an ugly perv in a red dress. Other than the wierdo wearing it how is it demon attire?
SPJNK.
Either way, I predict the perv will win this fight.
I though this was Babylon bee at first
Insanity
I’m seeing more Wannbe-Lucille Ball vs Wannabe-Lucifer, but either way, if this MAN wants to be ordained by the church, he’s sending a mixed message.
These awkward gestures of tolerance are what should be expected when those in charge see the church primarily as a business to keep running, vs a religious faith to be celebrated and acknowledged.
Misread “Allendale” as “Allende.”
