MEET THE DEADRAISERS: CHRISTIAN GROUP CLAIMS IT CAN RAISE THE DEAD

Now despite what you might be led to believe from the photograph evidence above, these fellas are not some over the hill ‘N Sync wannabes who never made the big time scene and who are now improbably still together and performing their shitty middle-aged boy band act (“Seventeen years of solid gold!”) at a cheap casino in Indio, CA.

Neither are the Deadraisers, as they call themselves, a gang of clean-cut middle-aged Grateful Dead-loving bikers… Mild ones? Maybe they’re Deadhead cyclists?

Nope, you’re not even close: In earlier centuries the activity that these gentlemen are principally involved with—the raising of the dead—would have seen them burned at the stake as witches. They used to call that “necromancy” and it could get ya killed. Now it looks like something that might get you a reality TV show?

These dudes don’t just want to follow Jeebus with all their hearts, they want those cool Matthew 10:8 zombie-making superpowers!

If there is intelligent life in the Universe, they are avoiding us like the inbred cousin from Alabama at a family reunion.

The videos they have online about their school and teaching little kids their beliefs about the supernatural were one of the scariest things I've ever seen.

Their church service was the most obvious grift I have ever seen. This is the prayer they read during the offering. I wish I were making it up, but this is cut and pasted from their website:



As we receive today's offering we are believing the Lord for:

Jobs and better jobs,
Raises and bonuses
Benefits Sales and commissions
Favorable settlements
Estates and inheritances
Interests and income
Rebates and returns
Checks in the mail
Gifts and surprises
Finding money
Debts paid off
Expenses decrease
Blessing and increase

Thank You, Lord, for meeting all of my financial needs that I may have more than enough to give into the Kingdom of God and promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Hallelujah!!!!!!


I liked that prayer better when Janis Joplin sang it, fwiw.

I mean seriously Jesus was not rolling in cash, the guy was flat broke poor and had to pull money out of a fishes mouth to pay his taxes.

and these assholes brought me back to this shit-hole I would be pissed. It sounds more like a scam to make money over anything else because if they truly believed in God they would not want to bring someone who is in heaven back to this place of suffering.
