Holy Shit: The Sunday Sermons Episode 1: The Church That Literally Answers Your Prayers
Gather around my fair brothers and sisters! It’s time to take a seat in the pew and pass the collection plate, for the Holy Church Of The Top 10 has convened and it’s time to remind you that the holiest among us are the most full of:
Welcome to the first ever edition of Holy Shit: The Sunday Sermons! We are offering to you the first ever episode of this brand new series with new expanded and revised content! How this is going to work is we will expand the first two sermons between each episode that you normally see in our regular Holy Shit feature in the Top 10 Conservative Idiots. We will also expand with any additional content that we might find, as well as in the third slot we will answer your prayers from the Holy Shit prayer line, which you can find at the official Holy Shit Twitter feed at: @churchoftop10. You can also e-mail us at any time with your prayers, concerns, hate mail, or suggestions for new topics! In this week’s episode we take a look at the wacky world of evangelical conspiracy theories (1) while Pat Robertson (2) retires and we take a look at the 700 Club’s greatest hits. And we close this week by answering your prayers from the Holy Shit Hotline To Heaven! Enjoy! And as always don’t forget the key!

[font size="8"]Evangelical Conspiracy Theories
[br] [/font] [br]
Now I notice a great many of you happen to be wearing tin foil hats today. That is because conspiracy theories are running a foul with our brothers and sisters on the right side of things. Now let me ask you this – why are religious people so prone to believing in insane conspiracy theories? Well there’s no real answer for that but it seems like the crazier they are the more likely they are to believe them. But when you have pastors and podcasts that they listen to who are peddling these theories, they’re part of the problem. And I’m sure that’s not what our good LAWRD JAYSUS would want now is it? But let’s take a look at some of the insane theories that they believe in and there’s plenty of them to pick from. Well for starters let’s start with our old buddy David Barton who is a religious “historian” that gets it wrong every single time. Well wait until you hear his latest piece of claptrap! This might be one of his most insane theories yet!
Religious-right activist David Barton is currently traveling the country as part of the Faith Wins “American Restoration Tour,” spreading his right-wing pseudo-history in churches in an effort to mobilize conservative Christians heading into the 2022 midterm elections.
On Monday, Barton spoke at Mountain View Baptist Church in Cowpens, South Carolina, where he claimed that the Bible instructs religious leaders to take responsibility for recruiting candidates to run for office.
“If you go to Exodus 18:21, the Bible is very clear,” Barton said. “The Bible says, ‘Provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.’ OK, guys, let’s have elections. Let’s have local, county, state, and federal elections.”
“But how do you get those [candidates]?” Barton asked. “Who does that providing? It’s interesting: the spiritual leader. Moses says—and he repeats this in Deuteronomy 1 and Deuteronomy 16—he says, ‘I went and recruited from among you good people, and I brought them before you and set them before you, and you chose from among those good people.’ In other words, ‘I recruited candidates for office, and then you elected the candidate you wanted to office.’ So what happens is there’s a recruiting effort going on in the background. Moses is the one who did it.”
As we have noted before, Barton intentionally misrepresents this passage from the Bible in order to promote his own right-wing political agenda.

That is most certainly true, Fluffy! But you know that part of the problem is that today’s active religious fundamentalists think that they’re waging a spiritual war, and that war is digital. It’s not being fought on a battlefield, it’s being fought on your Facebook and Instagram accounts! So when you have most of the religious body being convinced that they’re soldiers fighting a war, and that war is being waged on conspiracy theories, this is what you get!
QAnon conspiracy theorists have long fancied themselves “digital soldiers” whose skills at posting dank memes and owning libs on the internet plays a key role in former President Donald Trump’s purported operation to take down the global network of satanic pedophiles that supposedly secretly runs the world.
Dave Hayes, who built a reputation as a leading “decoder” of Q posts under the handle “Praying Medic” until he was booted from most major social media platforms for spreading conspiracy theories and disinformation, takes his role as a “digital soldier” very seriously. Appearing on fellow QAnon conspiracy theorist Greg Harvey’s livestream program Monday, Hayes said that he and other QAnon activists are the online equivalent of the special forces in the military who have been trained to overcome any obstacle in order to achieve their objective.
“The thing that we have to realize as anons is that we went through a three-year course of training and equipping to detect, expose, and help wake other people up to the realities of corruption through Q,” Hayes said. “Q’s operation … was a training course to teach us how to do research in such a way that we could detect corruption and then find a way to make that information available to the public.”
“We have been trained for years to do exactly what we’re doing,” he continued. “Even though we don’t necessarily know what’s coming in the future, we have been trained to deal with whatever comes. It’s like being in the special forces in the military. Special forces groups don’t necessarily know what plans, what attacks, what kind of opposition they’re going to face when they go into a certain territory. When they’re doing an operation, they don’t necessarily know the troop strength that’s going to oppose them, they don’t know how well armed their enemy is, but they rely on their training, they rely on the fact that they are trained and equipped, and they’re able to overcome whatever obstacle is set in front of them.”

Now here’s where it gets weird, because you know it was going to! One of the strangest people ever elected to Congress is the bizarre Madison Cawthorn, who is firmly on the side of the unholy, ungodly Dark One! I of course speak of a man who is so foul, vile, and disgusting that his name dare not be spoken in my church! But as I have stated, when you have people convinced they’re fighting “spiritual warfare”, these are the kind of crackpots that are going to come out of the woodwork!
Several Republican members of Congress, North Carolina state legislators, various candidates for office, and radical religious-right activists gathered at Temple Baptist Church in Mount Airy, North Carolina, last weekend for the North Carolina Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “Salt & Light Conference.”
Among the politicians in attendance was Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who used his time in front of his home state crowd to declare that he is waging a “spiritual battle” in the supposedly “evil and vile” Washington, D.C., against people like Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her “cold, evil eyes.”
“I believe that the power of prayer will save this country in the coming decades,” Cawthorn said. “When I’m in Washington, D.C., I know a lot of you consider the place to be evil and vile, and I am here to tell you with first-hand knowledge, it is evil and vile. But I will tell you when I’m there, I don’t feel an overwhelming sense of darkness as if the devil has complete dominion of that area because I feel a spiritual battle going on on Capitol Hill. And patriots like all of you in this room, on your knees, praying that we have the cover within the spiritual fight is what it will take to save this country.”
“I have to look Nancy Pelosi in her cold, evil eyes every single day,” he continued. “She just passed a bill yesterday trying to say that we can abort babies on demand all the way up until right before the day of birth. When we hear this, when we hear the fact that if a baby comes through a botched abortion alive, sitting there on the table, they then still have the right to murder that child, we realize that when I quip and say, ‘I look her in her cold, evil eyes,’ it’s not a joke. These people hate us.”

Yes, high fis and boob tubes are great, Reverend! But you know what’s not great? Having to deal with insane conspiracy theorists on a daily basis! I do love talking about conspiracy theories because a lot of times they’re stranger than fiction, and the people who actually believe them are even stranger! Now what happens when Christian nationalist theories are put into practice? Well let’s just say these people actually believe this stuff and they’re not going away!
Rick Scarborough, a self-described “Christocrat,” strident anti-LGBTQ activist, and longtime critic of public education, is raising money for his group Recover America to help elect right-wing candidates to school boards in three Houston-area school districts, which are among the nation’s largest.
Right Wing Watch has reported that an array of right-wing political groups are mobilizing this year to take over local school boards in an effort to reverse LGBTQ-inclusive policies, stifle teaching about racism, and more. The Leadership Institute, one of the groups that is encouraging and training right-wing activists to take over school boards across the country, held campaign workshops in Houston and Temple, Texas, on Sept. 18.
Recover America’s website says its purpose is to work “for a revival in America resulting in a nation where Biblical values are embraced, and decency is restored” and that its mission is “to mobilize Pastors and Church Leaders to use their influence to register, educate and mobilize values-based citizens to vote their Biblical values on Election Day.” The group’s vice president, Hunter Kelly, is a former staffer for Republican Sens. Tim Scott and Josh Hawley.
Scarborough discussed his group’s plans this week on two episodes of his podcast, “Mixing Church and State God’s Way,” which is promoted via the Charisma podcasting network, an arm of Steven Strang’s Pentecostal-oriented media empire. On a Sept. 20 episode of the podcast, Scarborough claimed it is a “tragic reality” that “the church is so absent in the current moral conflict our country’s found itself in.”

[font size="8"]Holy Shit: Pat Robertson Retires
[br] [/font] [br]
My fair congregation! I don’t need to tell you that you’re in the audience for the taping of the pilot episode of Holy Shit: The Sunday Sermons, but that’s neither here nor there. That said we’re going to do something a bit different this week. Think of this as the lecture where we blow off our plans and just show a whole bunch of videos for the class. This week there’s been a massive shakeup in the holy community. That’s right – the long time host of the religious TV favorite the 700 Club is stepping down from his reign of terror. Yes, that man has done more damage to the collective psyche of Americans than any terrorist could ever do. Now that said, we’re going to dedicate this week’s sermon to recapping his greatest hits. Yes, he may not agree with the unholy, ungodly Dark One, a man so disgusting, foul and vile that his name dare not be spoken in my church! But that doesn’t excuse him from decades of foul, bigoted behavior or his multitudes of conspiracy theories that have been left in his wake. So here’s what is happening. No longer will you see his vile and disgusting rhetoric on the 700 Club anymore. Get ready for a whole new wave of disgusting rhetoric!
Televangelist Pat Robertson announced Friday that he would be stepping down as host of his Christian Broadcasting Network's (CBN) flagship show "The 700 Club" after six decades on the program.
The 91-year-old unveiled the news during the show's 60th anniversary broadcast, saying that he will still be joining CBN broadcasts for special projects in the future but would be putting his focus on teaching at Regent University, the Virginia Beach private Christian school he founded in 1977.
"Today's show will be my final as host of 'The 700 Club,'" Robertson said Friday, adding that his replacement "will be my very capable son, Gordon, who will take over as full-time host of the program."
Gordon Robertson, who has already served as co-host and executive producer of "The 700 Club" for two decades, said in a statement Friday, "'Good and faithful' doesn't even begin to describe my father's service to CBN for 60 years."

Now there’s where you are wrong. Because Pat Robertson is a man who I would not exactly call “good”, instead he’s the opposite. The man is pure evil and bigoted. He’s advocated for things like domestic abuse and said that JAYSUS should steal the election for the unholy Dark One! But this might be one of my favorite 700 Club clips. This is something that was said. On television.
And this is another one of my favorites. Apparently did you know that if you buy your clothing from a second hand store it could be filled with DAYMONS??? That’s right!
Then of course there’s one of my favorite clips of what he said about earthquakes. Did you know that devastating earthquakes are “blessings in disguise”? Only in Pat Robertson’s senile, warped mind!
Then there was that time when he advocated for divorcing a wife who has alzheimer’s. Yeah that’s a horrible way to go but also a horrible way to treat a person. Again, this is in his senile brain that we are talking about here, and that’s not something that the good LAWRD JAYSUS would want!
Now seriously imagine what it takes to not only say something that batshit insane but to also believe that what you are saying is right. Imagine saying that a husband cheating on his wife is right – that’s not what we believe here!
Or my personal favorite – how about that time he got name dropped during that war crimes trial at the Hague no more than a mere 10 years ago? That’s right – a so called man of GAWD is implicated in war crimes! How about that?
And then of course who could forget my all time favorite Pat Robertson quote? Yes, sir. That one. You know the one – a grieving mother calls into the 700 Club about having a miscarriage. You know Mr. Robertson responded? Well with about the most horrible response humanly possible:
So that said I am glad that you indulged me as I went through some of his greatest hits. Because I can’t believe someone would sit through something like that? But that said what can we expect from the new leader of the 700 Club? Well pretty much – and I quote the Who – meet the new boss, same as the old boss! Now that said, I don’t know what direction the 700 Club will go in but you can rest assured that we’ll cover every batshit crazy thing that comes out of that show!
TV evangelist Pat Robertson marked the 60-year anniversary of his Christian Broadcasting Network by announcing he was stepping down from its popular “700 Club” morning show and handing hosting duties to his son, Gordon Robertson.
“I will no longer be the host of the ‘700 Club,’” Robertson told his audience on Friday’s program. “I thank God for everyone that’s been involved. And I want to thank all of you.”
The 91-year-old entrepreneur began his religious broadcasting empire in 1961 after buying a bankrupt UHF television station in Portsmouth, Va. The CBN’s “700 Club,” which launched Oct. 1, 1966, appealed to viewers by using a network-style talk-show format to communicate with Robertson’s followers as opposed to having speakers preach from a pulpit.
That allowed the Yale graduate to discuss the news of the day, infused with Christian messaging, in an accessible fashion for television watchers.

So yeah that’s Pat Robertson for you. We can’t let him get away with the things he said in the past even if he’s started to right the ship. The damage has been done.

[font size="8"]The Holy Shit Hotline To Heaven
[br] [/font] [br]
Welcome to the Holy Shit Hotline To Heaven! How this is going to work is that this is a free form segment where we answer your prayers coming from around the country. No subject is off the table, no subject is too taboo. And not only that we get to show you some of our favorite clips of right wing pastors and congregations behaving extremely poorly. And of course I don’t need to remind you that this week is the annual Values Voters Summit, which is now for some reason called the “Pray Vote Stand” festival. And I think they might be trying to skirt around IRS 501c rules. Because the separation of church and state seems like it doesn’t exist anymore and that line is fading and fading and fading. But that said how this is going to work is that we are going to answer your prayers from the Holy Shit Hotline to Heaven which can be found at our official Twitter feed at @churchoftop10. So if you’ve got a prayer that you want answered, let’s hear it!
Joseph C. from Reno, Nevada writes in:
“Heavenly father
I have friends that are becoming increasingly radicalized on online social media platforms. Why does the Christian right think that we’re engaged in a war? I pray for their salvation and hope that they see the light on what they are doing.”
Well, brother Joseph. If you have friends that are becoming radicalized and indoctrinated on social media platforms, look no further than their pastors. Who are increasingly flaunting the rules regarding the separation of church and state. Make no mistake that they are coming for the Johnson Amendment and if they get a hold of that, there will be no stopping them! Just look at what religious leaders are saying and how they are becoming increasingly radicalized. The phrase “prayer warrior” is not to be taken literally in this or any context!
Evangelist and right-wing activist Mario Murillo told a group of self-proclaimed “prayer warriors” Friday that “the Christian righteous army of God” is rising up against the Democratic Party, “wokeness,” and perversion. Declaring that there can be no compromise in such a battle, Murillo said that pastors and activists must see themselves as “wartime Christians” as he prayed that God’s judgment and “fire” would fall on the nation’s “evildoers.”
Murillo was speaking on a monthly prayer call hosted by Intercessors for America, a network of right-wing pastors and religious-right activists who were closely aligned with the Trump White House and campaign. IFA leader Dave Kubal, a member of the Trump campaign’s recently reinvigorated faith advisory board, claimed that “a few thousand” intercessors were listening to Friday’s call.
Via email and on its blog, IFA promoted the Oct. 1 call and livestream with messages from Murillo declaring, “We are now in wartime” and “You are now a wartime Christian.”
“Satan prizes the destruction of America,” Murillo told IFA’s intercessors. He went on to say that when the pilgrims landed in America, “they made a covenant with God that this would be a land that would preach the gospel.”

So that is insane, so much to unpack there. But my favorite thing is that somehow “wokeness” is what is causing the destruction of America. That’s not what the good LAWRD JAYSUS says now is it? Our next prayer request comes to us from:
Melanie C. from Garden Grove, California writes:
“Heavenly Father
I pray for the salvation of my friend Kevin, for he is deeply engrossed in that Q Anon stuff after becoming radicalized on social media. Why is this happening to people who I know?
Well my fair sister, there is no explanation for this. And we’ve attempted to find answers but this is one thing that we really don’t have an answer for. If someone believes in this nonsense they can be saved but it must be taken with the careful consideration that one uses to deprogram the members of bizarre cults much like the NXIVM cult out of Hollywood. But with people like this that really isn’t helping things.
When the QAnon conspiracy theory first emerged back in 2017, Dave Hayes was one of the first prominent figures within the movement whom we began covering. Operating under the online handle of “The Praying Medic,” Hayes was one of the leading self-declared “decoders” of Q drops and had built up a substantial following on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, where his videos attempting to explain the “real meaning” behind Q’s cryptic posts regularly racked up hundreds of thousands of views.
In May 2019, Hayes used his position as one of the leading “experts” on Q to boldly declare that mass arrests of prominent Democrats and thousands of business, media, and entertainment leaders would happen within a year, which would destroy the Democratic Party for a generation.
The promised arrests, of course, never happened. What did happen is that former President Donald Trump was voted out of the White House in 2020, Q disappeared, and Hayes was banned from just about every mainstream social media platform.
But Hayes is not giving up. More than two years after he confidently and falsely predicted that mass arrests would happen within a year, Hayes is still promising that the arrests are going to happen any day now.

Mass arrests. Shut up. They have a bizarre obsession with mass arrests and war tribunals and executions, and it’s very unhealthy. There hasn’t been any and there never will be any. Next on the hotline:
Jack H. from Santa Fe, New Mexico writes:
“Heavenly Father
Who is that creepy preacher that kind of looks like he should be playing in a death metal band? And what about that guy who thinks he’s a coach? Why do they have such crazy people on their side?”
Ah my son, you are thinking of Robin Bullock and then Dave Daubenmire. Both of these guys are some of the craziest that we’ve been following for a while.
Yeah $100 million for a guy who shouldn’t be trusted with 10 cents and a guy who thinks he’s a lead singer in a death metal band. Some crazy mofos out there but all are fine in the eyes of the LAWRD even though their world views are entirely twisted! Our final prayer this week:
Shirley H. from Lansing, Michigan writes:
“Heavenly Father
Why do Christians think that we are engaged to be in a spiritual warfare? I pray that we don’t actually come to a real holy war”.
My fair Shirley, I hear your prayers and I can tell you that is not what the good LAWRD JAYSUS would want now is it? Our GAWD stands for peace and good will. However, that’s not what our brothers and sisters on the right would want. And people like Madison Cawthorn (Q – Batshit) certainly aren’t helping things.
Several Republican members of Congress, North Carolina state legislators, various candidates for office, and radical religious-right activists gathered at Temple Baptist Church in Mount Airy, North Carolina, last weekend for the North Carolina Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “Salt & Light Conference.”
Among the politicians in attendance was Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who used his time in front of his home state crowd to declare that he is waging a “spiritual battle” in the supposedly “evil and vile” Washington, D.C., against people like Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her “cold, evil eyes.”
“I believe that the power of prayer will save this country in the coming decades,” Cawthorn said. “When I’m in Washington, D.C., I know a lot of you consider the place to be evil and vile, and I am here to tell you with first-hand knowledge, it is evil and vile. But I will tell you when I’m there, I don’t feel an overwhelming sense of darkness as if the devil has complete dominion of that area because I feel a spiritual battle going on on Capitol Hill. And patriots like all of you in this room, on your knees, praying that we have the cover within the spiritual fight is what it will take to save this country.”
“I have to look Nancy Pelosi in her cold, evil eyes every single day,” he continued. “She just passed a bill yesterday trying to say that we can abort babies on demand all the way up until right before the day of birth. When we hear this, when we hear the fact that if a baby comes through a botched abortion alive, sitting there on the table, they then still have the right to murder that child, we realize that when I quip and say, ‘I look her in her cold, evil eyes,’ it’s not a joke. These people hate us.”
