Martin Luther King Jr. Totally Creeps Me Out

Any Christian preacher who believes all the nutty shit he says creeps me out. Oral Roberts, supercreepy. Have you heard of Robert Tilton? Ubercreepy! Kenneth Copeland, creepy. Billy Graham wasn't creepy. I've been watching long video clips of King's speeches, and he just creeps me totally out. He sounds every bit as looney as all the rest of the howling ministers barking from their pulpits - barking mad. Jim Bakker really creeped me out. Tammy Faye creeped me out, but then I fell in love with her. I know I'm supposed to love Martin Luther King, because that's American Holy Writ, but he fucking creeps me out. I don't care if he was black, he was just as nutty as every other believer in virgin births, talking snakes, and walking dead people. Thank god I've never heard Obama preach. Yikes. Just because someone does great things doesn't mean they aren't nutty (consider Van Gogh, Howard Hughes, and Sally Field). Perhaps King's violent death adds to the creepy factor. Marilyn, JFK, RFK, MLK, James Dean - the young dead - creepy. Pope Benedictus Childus Molestus is one of the creepiest of them all, but the Mormon's Magic Underwear take the creepy cake.

I wonder how I would have felt if I had been around when he was. Well, actually, I was, but I was 2 when he died. I'm only familiar with his most famous speeches.

If nothing else, he was a brave man. He knew his life was in danger, but he kept standing up for what he believed was right. That's a rare thing!
