Pastor whose Christian pizza parlor went viral gets busted propositioning underaged girls for sex

In 2016, the owner of Giovani’s pizza parlor in rural Kentucky gained national attention after he refused to stop playing Christian music over his restaurant’s speakers and placing Bible verses on its receipts. Bobby “BJ” Blackburn also happens to be the pastor of Elevate Church in Prestonsburg. Today, he’s in a whole lot of trouble.

According to local ABC affiliate WBKO, Blackburn has been charged with using an electronic device to try to get a minor to engage in sexual activities with him. Police say he messaged an underaged employee and asked her to partake in a “threesome” with another underaged employee, in addition to other sexually-charged messages.

Blackburn turned himself into police on Wednesday and made his $5,000 bail.

1. Pastor BJ wanted to elevate something

2. A pizza parlor as a front for pedophilia

Whodathunkit.

3. Right!

6. Yes I wanted to include "irony" in the subject line

But didn't for brevity's sake.

Sounds to me like this weirdo jumped straight to the end of the typical cult scenario....well not the very end but the omnipotent point.

4. Good

Sounds like they caught a dangerous predator and removed him from the board.

I'm sure I'm shocked, or something, that it was someone with this sort of profile.

5. What is it with conservatives and pedophilia? There's even a website that tracks them.

Do they think children are the only things they can force into having sex with them?

I guess they could turn to animals. There was a RepubliCON around here claiming bestiality was normal on the farm. Long as I lived, I've never seen anyone claim it was "normal" before.

7. They do seem obsessed with it

Not that we shouldn't be on the lookout for it but they take it to another level.

I've always thought it was used to be the most shocking thing they can come up with. Not just in a clickbait sense but in painting the entire left as these demonic monsters. They have a red shoe thing going now too. Celebrities wearing red shoes - I'll save you time looking it up - made from the skin or colored with the blood of children. No really. That's a thing with them now.

8. Oh.....how sickening.

The only red shoes I know of were "The Red Shoes" by Hans Christian Andersen.
