Pastor in Kenya bans women from wearing underwear because it's a "hindrance to god"

Nairobi - A Kenyan pastor, Rev. Njohi, told his flock that women's undergarments are a hindrance to God entering their body and banned females from wearing them in God's house.

Njohi, pastor of the Lord’s Propeller Redemption Church, has referred to women’s undergarments as “ungodly.” Apparently Njohi, called together church elders and discussed the issue before making his announcement that women should go without bras or panties in church. He allegedly stated that people "need to be free in body and spirit in order to receive Christ."

According to a congregation member, all the female church-goers came without underwear to the service following the decision. Mothers were advised to check their daughters to make certain they were prepared to receive Christ.

Every damn religion except for a handful portray the male role as conqueror, king and ruler of his household. Women are ornaments that produce babies.

that Christ isn't that piece of meat between his legs. It sounds like he's really worshiping that thing, even more than most idiot zealots do.

Africa + Christianity has been a very bad idea.

I could say something really tacky here about women with no underwear when Aunt Flo comes to visit, but I'll leave fertile imaginations to come up with their own scenarios.

if the whole thing weren't so pathetic. And tragic - for both men and women who are deluded or desperate enough to follow such a "leader."

names - and, even worse, the people who follow the "teachings"?

Must be a lot of thwarted warmongers among them ....

Both "gun rights" and "freedom of religion" have literally run amok in this country - so far from the original sane intentions.

Kind of both if that's possible. Why I printed atheist I don't know.
Most times I refer to myself as non religious as I am non religious, I don't believe in any of the God and the after life stuff. I feel when death happens I'll be just like the bug that hit my windshield, Dead, just dead

And if he does, does he do it up the ass?

Seriously, this guy's idea of communion is very...invasive.
