WA Wingnuts divided

Little Kennie Hutcherson of the Antioch Bible Church in Redmond finds himself ostracized from the rest of the wingnuts in WA because they have gay marriage in their sights while Kennie still has his panties in a wad over the anti-discrimination bill that passed last year.

So Little Kennie is reaching out to anyone who will listen which is apparently the Slavic churches of WA. What interesting bedfellows bigotry makes! Kennie started his outreach to the Slavic community last spring for the “lets keep discrimination against gays legal” that Little Timmie Eyman fumbled. Now he is back at it hoping to gather enough signatures from the backwoods bible thumpers (unfortunately for Kennie, just over ½ of the Slavic church attendees are American Citizens who can legally sign the petition).

This outreach to non-mainstream churches shows the division in the evangelicals in WA. Most churches are focusing their full attention on gay marriage because they know it is an uphill battle to re-write discrimination into the law. In addition they understand that the anti-dsicrimination bill is small potatoes compared to gay marriage so they are determined to focus their attention solely on this issue. It is nice of Little Kennie to divide the forces for us!

Gay-rights foe finds new allies in Slavic churches

On a recent Sunday morning, at a strip mall in Kent, a few hundred people gathered to worship, rocking out to a band playing contemporary worship songs and cheering on the fiery pastor -- all in Russian.

This might seem an unlikely place for Ken Hutcherson -- Redmond's Antioch Bible Church senior pastor, who is known for outspoken views against homosexuality -- to look for allies in his effort to overturn a state law banning discrimination against gays and lesbians.

But then Pastor Andrey Shapovalov asked the children to come forward. Bless them, he said. "Pray that none of them become homosexuals or lesbians or have abortions or live a life of crime."

I think Bill Dubay said it best:

All of which has local gay-rights activist Bill Dubay musing: "I don't know why he cares so much that people have legal protections. ... It seems to me he needs a lot of attention, and this gets it for him."

Low and behold:

Hutcherson, who had a brief National Football League career as a linebacker with the Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys and San Diego Chargers, acknowledges "I have a tremendous ego."

"That's why I played pro football," he said. "I'm taking that same ego and energy that benefited me in football and now putting it in for the glory of God to do his will and his work."

In that regard, his ambitions are bigger than ever. He talks of organizing an international summit: "I am building a force around the world."

Delusional? So it would seem. Reaching out to the local conservative Slavic churches does not classify as a "force around the world". Apparently Little Kennie found the tipping point between ego and delusion. Next he will be putting on tights and a cape and joining Stan Lee on "Who Wants to be A Superhero?" I think his alter EGO superhero name will be "Bucolic Braggadocio".


Any other alter EGO superhero names for Little Kennie?
