The most popular Easter service in this capital of alternative living occurs not in church but on the sloping lawns of Dolores Park, where thousands show up in their Sunday best — which at the annual Hunky Jesus Contest can mean steampunk bonnets, a life-size Peep suit or, for those competing, elaborate (and usually scanty) Jesus and Mary costumes.

The Rev. Donal Godfrey, an openly gay Jesuit priest and chaplain at the University of San Francisco, has a more measured response. “Clearly it is controversial,” he said by email. As a matter of respect, Godfrey would prefer the event not be “played out in a public park.” At the same time, he noted, he is far more disturbed by, say, the Trump administration’s recent deportations to El Salvador. “I believe the Christian God must find that much more deeply blasphemous.”


Maybe Reverend Godfrey should be more concerned with the sexual assault cases pending concerning priests and alter boys

This so called reverend is another fake Christian, the kind Jesus warned us about.

"Courage", eh?; SATANIC "COURAGE in defiance of Almighty God. SMH

Make no mistake about it:

THIS >>>IS<<< PART OF THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA


DEMOCRATS are ALWAYS promoting
Satan's lie of "TRANSGENDERS"


DEMOCRATS are ALWAYS all concerned about
protecting the SATANIC LIE of "TRANSGENDER"

VOTE DEMOCRATS OUT OF OFFICE!!


Democrats are at
War with Reality,
Biology and
Almighty God




Satan used Democrat Barack Hussein Obama and
Democrat Joe Biden to deceive many

HOW could so many idiots believe in DEMOCRAT
Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama?

HAS to be the spirit of antichrist


DEMOCRAT JOE BIDEN and DEMOCRAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
ARE UNREPENTANT GODLESS REPROBATES PREACHING SATAN'S LIES
FROM THE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 FIERY PITS OF ETERNAL HELL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


DEMOCRATS prove every single day of the week that they
are at War with Reality, Biology and Almighty God


All according to SATAN'S plan.

Do NO harm, Christians, but reject this Godless Reprobate Agenda.

The world 🌍🌎🌏 is infected with
SATAN'S confusion on MALE vs FEMALE


That Old Serpent 🐍 called the Devil and Satan
has been using this since the Days of Lot
in Genesis chapter 19.

The apostasy and the Days of Lot are upon us.
As prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.


Do NO harm, Christians, but reject
this Godless Reprobate Agenda.

(For the thread)



Quite the destructive SATANIC LIE
from the pits of Fiery Hell 🔥🔥🔥

There is a determined effort to normalize this all over the world. I'm encouraging people not to attend nor support this stuff. 

NO VIOLENCE suggested nor implied, of course. Do NO harm, Christians.

Isaiah 53 1-3

1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

Are they required to have their backs turned into hamburger by a scourging that at the time often left men with their bowels hanging out, head bloodied by a crown of Jerusalem thorns, nail holes in their hands and feet, and a sword gash in their sides big enough for Thomas to put his hand into?

If not, then they ain’t a Jesus.

“ the global nonprofit group”
Whoever funds this crap also must have been involved in funding the blasphemous “last supper” monstrosity at the Olympics in Parass!
I can’t believe people take kids to this sacrilegious display of idiots.

You’d think this was from The Bee.

It’s getting harder and harder to tell anymore, there is so much absurdity and degeneracy.

I hate that park.

Before V2 this clergyman would have been defrocked, excommunicated and thrown out flat on his face. Lord deliver us from evil clergy.

That’s already been done and worse. There is “art” depicting unspeakable acts with Lord Jesus. Unspeakable blasphemous acts during Southern Decadence. This will not end well.

Several thousands more went to churches of various denominations this morning.

“openly gay Jesuit priest “

Yikes! One of the worst mixtures there is. Combine the rabble rousing of the Jesuits, with the gay agenda and just Yikes!

“ courage” would be a festive mocking “Hunky Mohammed and Slutty Fatima”

Looking forward to that happening?
