Whenever I see an Israeli flag in an American church I have seen all I need to know that the people who worship there are crazy.

In some of them, the theology is that of the great friend of the Jews and Israel, Pastor John Hagee.

In his theology, the precondition for the Second Coming was the establishment of the State of Israel. Then Christ will come again to rule in all his glory if we can only get all the Jews rounded up in Israel so that they may be killed. http://www.jhm.org/Home/About/WhySupportIsrael is quite misleading. John McCain had to disassociate from Hagee's support.

Carl Gallups/ppsimmons blames the Gulf oil catastophe of the US not being nicer to Israel.

http://www.thejerusalemgiftshop.com/isr ... phecy.html

He's closely connected to WND as seen here.

WND talks to Carl Gallups about evolution. One quote of note:

Quote:

Gallups offered the following as examples of his assertion: “The missing link between chimps and man has still not been found. Really! In over 150 years of desperately looking for it, we have no such fossil evidence. If evolution were true, we should have many such pieces of verifiable fossil evidence. Instead, we have none.”

What's better is his explanation of why bananas exist

Dr. PZ Meyers loves to debate this guy....for obvious reasons.

Is that a picture of Ed Norton with a banana? Is that Gallups?

Pastor Gallups is also noted for his videos questioning the legitimacy of the Obama Presidency. Gallups says to that, "That is a whole different matter. My videos on the question of Obama's natural born citizenship status are NOT satire or novelty pieces."

http://www.hickoryhammockbaptist.org/interview.html

Whether he's also ppsimmons or not is almost immaterial. I've seen so many of these birther videos that are from ppsimmons. I think they qualify ppsimmons/Gallups to be a "Lesser light" in Birtherstan, but someone worth keepin' a sharp eye on.

This was August 2010. Perhaps it says something about the decline of Birtherism that Gallups now stands as one of the most prominent Birthers remaining.

mimi had a post earlier in this thread quoting from PPSIMMONS' About page. Since that time, it's been updated to include an explanation of the moniker:

Quote:

The name PPSIMMONS is a moniker that represents the entire team of this amazing worldwide ministry. It comes from the first letters of this profound declaration - Preaching the Precious message of Salvation In Many nations and in Many ways thus Obliterating our Nemesis Satan! PPSIMMONS!

That's right: the last letter of PPSIMMONS stands for "Satan."

Also. as mimi's post noted in passing, the second person identified as being the public face of PPSIMMONS is one Michael D. Shoesmith. He used to operate under the name "The Internet Pastor," and had a website at ProsperousIndividual.com. His YouTube page also identifies him as a supporter of the Institute for Creation Research. His site offers up this bio:

Quote:

Michael D. Shoesmith is a highly skilled, highly trained, hazardous chemicals expert in the transportation industry.

He is the author of the books: “Fallen From Grace”, “Fast Track To Freedom”, and “The Great Debate”, “Politics as Usual”, “The Bible Mode”, as well as dozens of media articles and many books yet to be published. He has spent the last twelve years and close to fifteen thousand hours studying the Bible. He lives with his family in Southwestern Ontario, Canada.

Those books? All of them are self-published; the latter ones may not even exist in paper form, but rather only as e-books. One of his "books" is 39 pages long. And yet, I'm not sure if any of that is funnier than the fact that his bio brags about his many unpublished books.

I never thought he'd be a birfer.

Thanks, Loren. I'm gonna visit his page tomorrow.

Well, Yeah he's a truck driver , but it just sounds so much better the other way

A highly skilled, highly trained truck driver who drives hazmat, he'll haz you know.

My guess would be a shipping clerk who's taken a two day haz-mat course and now knows the difference between 4G and 4GV packaging.

I go with truck driver. There's also this:

Quote:

He has spent the last twelve years and close to fifteen thousand hours studying the Bible. He lives with his family in Southwestern Ontario, Canada.

A clerk would have to figure out how many days in how many years, how many hours on average, all that math. But a truck driver always knows how many miles he's pulled.

"Shit, Zeke, that's easy." Shoesmith almost spit before realizing he was still in the cafe. "I been on the road 12 years, 1.5 million kilometers. Whaddya think? An hour of bible study for every 100?"

Zeke seemed to look for the answer on the inside label of his John Deere cap. "Could be. All the red lights, traffic jams, weigh stations; it'd average out."

"Thass' what I'm sayin'. So knock off two zeeroes, whaddya got? Fifteen thousand? Shit, I'm practically a preacher."

15000 hours is 625 days, or slightly less than 2 years. And from the phraseology he could say that he has the bible sitting unopened in his Truck cab and he can say he is studying it as long as he can see it.

Damn I'm too damn cynical from interpreting these idiots.

TollandRCR · **Posted:** Mon Apr 08, 2013 9:55 am

He probably has the entire Bible (KJV of 1611, of course) recorded on 8-track tape so that he can "study" while he drives.

It scares me that morons like this are trusted with hazardous materials. Even more than Homer Simpson working at a nuke plant.

Falsehoods unchallenged only fester and grow.
