Stephen Baldwin: Christian Martyr



"People not only mock Stephen, but mock God as well"




We always suspected that if we just lived long enough, Stephen Baldwin would appear in something entertaining again. World, that day has come. The born-again, bankrupt actor who's made a career of distinguishing himself as nutty even by Baldwin brother standards is now appearing in "The Restoration of Stephen Baldwin," wherein the star of "Slap Shot 2: Breaking the Ice" is accepting your donations so he can get his shit together and glorify the Lord. You know, like that other put-upon hero, Job.

*snip**snip*

In the site's epic promotional video, it's explained, "Job was the most influential man in the east." Stephen Baldwin was the eighth most influential contestant on "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here." But the parallels don’t end there!

*snip**snip*

And so the creators of "The Restoration" ask for "the massive restoration of a Christian public figure," pondering, "What if 10 percent of the 159 million Christians in America gave a Token Gift? What if 10 percent of the worlds two billion Christians gave a token gift?" Why, he'd have a really nice house in no time, that's what. Sure, you could give your money to Doctors Without Borders, maybe help some earthquake victims in Haiti or Chile or China. Or you could "be part of a historic movement of God that will literally rock the nation." Literally!

*snip**snip*

You can't blame a guy for being open to accepting a little charity -- it's doubtful the man who co-starred in "The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas" is suffering from an excess of pride. And if there's a human on the planet who wants to separate himself from his money in the name of Stephen Baldwin, that's a miracle to impress even the Insane Clown Posse. We just feel the need to make one thing clear: When the folks at "Restoration" say that "People not only mock Stephen, but mock God as well," we're not mocking God. We're just mocking Stephen.


________________________________________________________


I think my favorite part is if you go to Baldwin's own site, Restore Stephen Baldwin- Purpose, where he states the following:

*snip**snip*
...Over the next few years, he became very vocal about his faith, using his spotlight to boldly preach the gospel. However, because of this convictions it has caused him the loss of many jobs and the most recently, a highly publicized bankruptcy.

*snip**snip*



So, let me get this straight. Christians all over the Globe should send Baldwin $10 because his love of God caused him to be ruled against regarding Bankruptcy in a court of law? Maybe this ruling was God's way of saying Baldwin needs to manage his finances better. :shrug:

4. You, too, huh?
I can't believe this guy. He's asking for a handout... but... he supports a party that is against "handouts."

Oh, the irony. It is rich.

2. He's Sarah Palin's favorite Baldwin. Let *her* give him a job.
All he does now is stand on the sidewalk and yell at people walking into adult video stores.

5. Basically, he's pulling a Kirk Cameron?
Does this guy have no originality? :rofl:


I'll give him the credit he deserves- I loved The Usual Suspects. He was good in that.
