Holy Shit: The Sunday Sermons Episode 4: The Cult Of Kanye

Gather around my fair brothers and sisters! Its time to take a seat in the pew and pass the collection plate, for the Holy Church Of The Top 10 has convened and its time to remind you that the holiest among us are the most full of:

My fair congregation! I hope yall are doing well and I hope that you have a copy of our Good Book opened because we are going to explore followers of the good LAWRD JAYSUS and how far their beliefs can take them this week! And this is our year end special Episode 4 and normally we would recap the year that was but weve been off for a bit, and that wasnt because of COVID, that was because of a break in the supply chain. Its one of those shit happens kind of deals. But anyway were bringing you episode 4 today. And this week were going to discuss one of our favorite topics Kanye West (1), who for some reason now just goes by YE, and his Sunday Sermons. Only now to prove it, hes gone totally batshit off the wall crazy and is a remote compound in the woods away from being a full blown cult leader! Meanwhile, over in the second slot, our old friend Joel Osteen (2) and his venerable Lakewood Church have a found money problem on their hands. And Im neither shocked nor surprised that they would have $600,000 lining the walls of a bathroom in that place. Im surprised theres not more! But they might be rushing to hide it! And over in the third slot, theres a megachurch in Texas (not surprisingly) hosting a Q Anon conference thats a bizarre mix of religious personalities and batshit insane conspiracy theorists. And the ven diagram shows that these two groups overlap! And of course finally we will answer your prayers from the Holy Shit Hotline To Heaven! And were going to play some clips of some religious people saying crazy things, and maybe even predict the future! Enjoy! And as always dont forget the key!

[font size="8"]Holy Shit
You know we live in strange times. And in these strange times there are those who you turn to for comfort. But this week, this isnt about that. You know what this is about? This about the people who you shouldnt be turning to in this time for comfort. Im of course talking about Kanye West, Justin Bieber, and Marilyn Manson. But that said is Kanye starting a cult? If theres anyone in hip hop that could do it, it would be Kanye. Like most cult leaders, hes charismatic and hes got lots of money. The only thing hes lacking is a remote compound in the middle of nowhere oh wait, he has that too! But why would you court Marilyn Manson of all people? This is a truly insane development and its not what the good LAWRD JAYSUS would want now is it? But Marilyn Manson is a disgusting individual, and I know what the Good Book says. But thats also why we dont allow any mention of the Unholy Dark One, a man so disgusting, foul, and vile that his name not be said in my church! But that said, this is one of the stranger duos Ive ever seen.
It was only a matter of time before Kanye West would bring back his celebrity-friendly Sunday Service. But many were left slack-jawed when the rapper decided to mark its return this past Sunday (on Halloween no less) by having Marilyn Manson at his side nodding along as Justin Bieber prayed over the service.
Already West, who recently changed his name to Ye, was widely bashed over the summer for choosing to align himself with Manson, real name Brian Warner, when he decided to collaborate with him for the song Jail Pt. 2 on his latest album Donda. The shock rocker has been publicly accused by at least 15 women of sexual assault, sexual battery, emotional and physical abuse, torture, as well as other disturbing behavior.
The 52-year-old is also still under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department. Warner has denied all allegations of abuse and assault.
The controversy surrounding West choosing to prop up Warner and fellow rapper DaBaby, who was also featured on Jail Pt. 2 shortly after his homophobic rant at a music festival, all but died down over the past few weeks, as West picked up press elsewhere for going on coffee dates with Trumps former attorney Michael Cohen and wearing bizarre prosthetic face masks.

Now could Kanye be the very devil that weve been preaching about? Well he certainly is the kind of undesirable hypocrite that the Good Book speaks of. And hes courting some people who you probably shouldnt be courting. So why did Kanye choose to court with Mr. Manson? Well like most people on the right, Kanye is railing against cancel culture and the Me Too movement. But why would you get DaBaby involved too? This is turning out to be quite the unholy trinity here, and thats not what the good LAWRD JAYSUS would want now, is it?
Kanye West has defended his decision to perform alongside Marilyn Manson and DaBaby, while describing the Me Too movement as power and politics.
West now legally known as Ye took part in a lengthy, wide-ranging interview on the Drink Champs podcast yesterday (November 4).
At one point in the conversation, he spoke out on having courted controversy for recently working with Manson and DaBaby.
All the Me Too like, when I sit next to Marilyn Manson and DaBaby right after both of them got cancelled, for five songs, you know, its like they cant cancel us all, Ye explained.
Theyll hit you with the accusations of somebody who you was with 10 years ago.

Yeah OK we get Kanyes point that you cant cancel music. But theyre not canceling music. These people all committed heinous crimes and they should all be punished for it, instead it seems like the opposite is happening. These people are abusers and criminals who should be shunned from society and instead theyre getting rewarded. Again our Good Book specifically states that JAYSUS would have hated these people if he were still alive today!
Kayne West has spoken out about why hes joined forces with Marilyn Manson as of late. In a new interview, Kanye bemoaned cancel culture and various aspects of the #MeToo movement, adding that they cant cancel a song.
After multiple allegations of sexual, mental and physical abuse were publicly made against Marilyn Manson earlier this year (the details of which you can see at the bottom of this post) the rock singer unexpectedly joined Kanye West onstage at an August listening party for Donda along with DaBaby.
Manson later prayed alongside Kanye West and Justin Bieber at a gospel gig, starting rumors that the Antichrist Superstar had converted to Christianity.

Theyll hit you with the accusations or somebody who you was with 10 years ago. And also, theres women whove been through very serious things, pulled in alleys against they will thats different than a hug, but its classified as the same thing. Its power and politics. You know, power-hungry maniacs and just, control. This is Nineteen Eighty-Four mind control that we in. And mob mentality. [via Consequence]

Yeah no, thats the very sort of gospel that we preach against here at the Holy Church Of The Top 10, ladies and gentlemen. Because while JAYSUS wants you to live long and prosper, much like the command of the Starship Enterprise, you should be wary of those people who preach in stadiums like Kanye. Oh wait, I forgot that he just wants to be called YE now. But once again, if youre on trial for something, you probably shouldnt talk about that thing that youre on trial for.
It would appear that Kanye West's efforts to win back Kim Kardashian have fallen short considering she's going on breakfast dates with Pete Davidson in Beverly Hills, and he's on the other side of town taking a makeup-free Marilyn Manson out to dinner.
Two separate eyewitnesses saw the 44-year-old rapper and 52-year-old shock rocker at Bestia in Downtown Los Angeles Sunday night, eating and conversing.
One tipster told Deuxmoi that Manson attended the outing "sans makeup" and that "Ye had the ribeye." Another added that the Yeezy designer was overheard "talking about how all these hot girls still text him."
It's unclear what else the two may have discussed over the course of their meal, but West apparently made sure to "immediately put on headphones when he got up to leave."

No it isnt! it is the symbol of the Unholy Dark One! That said, well keep an eye on this and its only a matter of time before Kanye moves his services to his compound in Wyoming and declares war on the government.

[font size="8"]Holy Shit: Lakewood Church Found Money
You know this is our next to last sermon of the year. We hope that you have a very happy holiday, whatever holiday that is you happen to be worshipping. So that said, we decided that we were going to have some fun with this week because theres a lot of dark shit out there. Though one church has a bit of a money laundering problem on its hands. Of course you probably already know the church in question. Thats right, our old buddy Joel Osteen and his Lakewood Church thats in a giant stadium in Houston, Texas. Yes, Joel Osteen the pastor that has more money than his entire congregation combined, drives multiple Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and owns a mansion that practically has its own zip code. Now see, the GOOD LAWRD wants you to be rich, and wealth is a sign of prosperity, is it not? But theres wealth and then theres fuck you wealth. Joel Osteen is someone who has fuck you wealth. With tax exempt status on top of that! But that said, with this little find of $600,000, Mr. Osteens got some splainin to do!
A plumber doing repair work last month at televangelist Joel Osteens Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas discovered a reported $600k in cash and checks stuffed in envelopes. The funds are believed to be part of a 2014 robbery at the venue.
The plumber revealed his story Thursday to Houston radio station KILT-FM, according to a report from the citys KPRC-TV. The caller claimed to have found hundreds of envelopes of cash and checks hidden in a wall inside the church, where he was repairing a loose toilet.
Police were called to the scene on Nov. 10. according to a statement from the Houston Police Department.
Church members stated that during a renovation project, a large amount of money including cash, checks and money orders was found inside a wall, the statement said.

Yeah these are the kind of preachers who do not say for the LAWRD, their god is the almighty dollar, though they really dont care about prosperity either. They only care about greed. And its no surprise that Pastor Osteen is hiding money in the walls of his church. But that said, Osteens got some splainin to do because this isnt just found money it could also be the evidence of a crime. Or is it money laundering? We wouldnt put anything past anybody here and we do not want to assume guilt either, though hes probably guilty.
For more than seven years, no one has known what happened to $600,000 in checks and cash that was stolen from a safe at Pastor Joel Osteen's Houston megachurch, which has one of the largest congregations in the country.
Now, there's a possible plot twist in the case: The money might never have left the church and a plumber could have helped solve the mystery.
Houston police are investigating whether cash and checks discovered by a plumber during repair work that was being done at Lakewood Church is connected to the money that was stolen in 2014.
The revived investigation comes after a plumber on Thursday called "The Morning Bullpen with George, Mo & Erik on 100.3 The Bull" during a segment on the Houston radio station in which people were asked to talk about the most unusual things of value they had ever found.

Yes and that devil is the one who has all the money in the world! And by the way if you want to know what fuck you money looks like in the world of the televangelist, I will say that I have lived like a televangelist (see: Idiots #7-1 ). Its a pretty sweet life but it does come at a cost, and the cost is that those people will hate you. So that said, we dont live like televangelists here at the Holy Church Of The Top 10. So really, Joel Osteen has gains, but most of them are of the ill-gotten variety.
The Bible says it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven, but one celebrity pastor does not seem terribly concerned with the warning.
Joel Osteen, one of the wealthiest and most popular preachers in the US, has come under fire after evidence of his luxurious lifestyle was made public on social media.
Mr Osteen, who leads the Lakewood Church in Houston - one of the enormous congregations that are dubbed "megachurches" - was criticised after it was revealed the pastor owns a Ferrari sportscar that costs more than $300,000 dollars.
Users on Twitter lambasted the pastor, arguing his ownership of a Ferarri is a good argument for the government taxing churches.
"Ferrari is trending. That means either someone won a race or Joel Osteen took some of the money Jesus told him to give to the poor and went on another shopping spree," one user said.

These people dont feel anything bad, Reverend. In one breath they say that JAYSUS gave to the poor then in the other breath they buy hundred million dollar estates and have a small army of luxury sports cars that the average person could not afford. That is not how GAWD wants us to live, that is most certainly an atrocity! I do realize Im contradicting myself, but the real HOLY BIBLE is full of contradictions, is it not? Surely they could spare some cash for found money, couldnt they?
The plumber who found a large sum of money hidden inside the wall of a Houston megachurch said he should get a reward.
The man, who wants to remain anonymous, found hundreds of envelopes of cash and checks that could be connected to a 2014 theft at the church.
I didnt solve their case, but I solved very key important clues as to what could or may have happened there, said the plumber who found the stash at Joel Osteens Lakewood Church.
Houston police said the discovery could be linked to the 2014 case, in which someone stole $600,000 from the church.
At the time of the theft, Crime Stoppers offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. No arrests have so far been made in the 2014 case.

Yeah so the guy who found money gets pennies on the dollar while the man who has more money than GOD, JAYSUS and his entire congregation combined gets to live that swanky billionaire lifestyle! Aint the system great? Mass has ended, may you go in peace! Thats it this week for:

[font size="8"]Q Anon Goes To Church
This week I am just absolutely ashamed and appalled by my brothers and sisters on the right. For they have betrayed us once again by siding with the Unholy, Ungodly Dark One. A man who of course is so foul, vile, evil and rotten that his name dare not be spoken in my church! Then again this is the same group of people who think that a real president, JFK, is going to come down and announce mass arrests of all of the Deep State operatives that prevented the Dark One from winning his last election. So why are churches allowed to get away with preaching this foul hatred? Because it is not what the good LAWRD JAYSUS would want now, is it? Well lets take a good look at what the Q Cult is up to in this latest round of pure insanity.
A high-profile conservative conference is coming to Frisco this weekend.
The ReAwaken America tour mixes conservative politics, controversial anti-vaccine discussions and conspiracy theories with Christian worship, hymnals and fellowship with like-minded Republican supporters, The Washington Post reported last month.
The event, hosted by business consulting company ThriveTime Show, will bring nearly 90 big-name conservative speakers to Elevate Life Church, including Eric Trump, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, Alex Jones of Infowars, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Trump adviser Roger Stone and attorney Sidney Powell.
Nearly all of the 3,500 tickets for the three-day event, which began Thursday, have been sold, according to the website for the event.
Last month, the ReAwaken America tour gained national attention after an event at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio. Videos circulated of eventgoers chanting Lets go, Brandon a euphemism for swearing at President Joe Biden and Flynn urged the U.S. to embrace one religion. My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell and anti-vaccine advocate Sherri Tenpenny also spoke.

Yeah and it pretty much is! Unfortunately you think this would be all the event was, but it was quite the shit show everyone predicted it would be! Of course thats what happens when you support the unholy, ungodly Dark One! He is not a man of light or moral judgement. In fact Im pretty sure that he doesnt know what these things mean, or that hes ever set foot in a church. Yet his flock thinks of him as a GAWD! But this might be my favorite part of the whole embarrassing scene they couldnt remember the lyrics to the national anthem! Thats right the most patriotic among us couldnt remember the words to their own national anthem!
The niece of disgraced former general Michael Flynn appeared to forget the words to the national anthem while singing at a QAnon-friendly conference in Frisco, Texas.
Video of the event showed Julia Flynn take to the stage at the Elevate Life Church to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" to a crowd of thousands on December 10.
But, as Julia Flynn worked her way through the national anthem it appeared as if she forgot the lyrics.
She appeared to sing "came through, through the night," when the lyrics are "gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."
The apparent error was also noted by others, who went on to share their thoughts on social media..

Yeah thats about what it is like. And in case youre wondering what the ultimate goal of ReAwaken America is, well, this entire conference has a ridiculous Nazi vibe to it. Forget about the south rising again, we need to worry about the Nazi party rising again! And their plan for one religion under America should terrify the living shit out of you. If it doesnt then you sure as shit are not paying attention to the EVILS they are prescribing!
This past weekend, infamous FBI fibber Michael Flynn stood on a stage at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio and spoke his truth: If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God. Christian nationalist mic drop. Hed finally said the quiet part out loud.
Which, to be fair, was maybe not even the craziest thing that happened at Cornerstone last weekend as it hosted podcast host Clay Clarks Reawaken America Tour a shitshow so very spectacular that Cornerstone, the church of famed end times Christian Zionist John Hagee, had to release a face-saving statement saying that maybe, just maybe, things had gone a little too far even for them (Cornerstone Church is not associated with this organization and does not endorse their views.) There was a woman wearing a Jewish-themed prayer shawl and blowing on a rams horn, because, as she explained it, Demons tremble at the sound of the shofar. There was My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell and disgraced political operative Roger Stone on hand to provide the event with a legitimate dose of illegitimacy. There was Alex Jones growling at attendees that the devils reign on this planet is coming to an end and that Bill Gates and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama know that they chose SATAN! AND THEY! ARE GOING! TO FAIL! There were rousing rounds of the oddly-devised anti-Biden chant Lets go, Brandon and worship music provided by Sean Feucht, graciously in attendance thanks to his failed run for Californias state legislature. There was also, presumably, nary a vaccinated person in the house.

Which only further cements the fact that they have absolutely no original ideas of their own. But this event was so toxic that even for a church as toxic as John Hagees, that is pretty damn toxic! But I guess that they want to hang on to their 503(c) status dont they? I mean if I was a church I wouldnt have even had this event in the first place! But then again as many times as I have said on this program, the Dark One and his minions do not want what is best for America!
San Antonio's Cornerstone Church made headlines over the weekend for hosting a far-right political rally at which former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn called for the United States to adopt "one religion."
Other news organizations, including the Express-News, latched onto viral video of attendees chanting "Let's go, Brandon" a cuss word-averse stand-in for "Fuck Joe Biden" from the pews during the three-day gathering.
Indeed, the speaker list for the Reawaken America Tour proved newsworthy in itself. In addition to Flynn, they included Trump loyalist and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, InfoWars founder Alex Jones and anti-vaccine zealot Sherri Tenpenny. Organized by Oklahoma business coach Clay Clark, the multi-city tour provided a platform for 2020 election deniers, anti-vaxxers and other religious-right conspiracists.
Amid the event's fallout, Cornerstone led by the controversial father-son evangelical team of John and Matt Hagee issued a statement distancing itself from the Reawaken America Tour.
"This past week, Cornerstone Church facilities were used by an outside organization. Cornerstone Church is not associated with this organization and does not endorse their views," said the statement the nondenominational congregation shared with multiple news outlets.

Other news organizations, including the Express-News, latched onto viral video of attendees chanting "Let's go, Brandon" a cuss word-averse stand-in for "Fuck Joe Biden" from the pews during the three-day gathering.
Indeed, the speaker list for the Reawaken America Tour proved newsworthy in itself. In addition to Flynn, they included Trump loyalist and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, InfoWars founder Alex Jones and anti-vaccine zealot Sherri Tenpenny.

[font size="8"]The Holy Shit Hotline To Heaven

My fair congregation! We are almost at the end of the year and we of course are bringing you at the end of every episode our free floating segment where we answer your prayers from the Holy Shit Prayer line, which can be found on our Twitter feed at @churchoftop10 or you can e-mail us at holychurchoftop10@gmail.com. Dont be shy! We welcome all prayers, questions, comments, and of course hate mail. Yes, even the haters are welcome at the Holy Church Of The Top 10! So of course naturally we will answer your prayers with anything that is on your mind, something to deal with current events, or anything that the religious right happens to be talking about this week, because they say a lot of ridiculously crazy shit. And theyre only getting crazier by the day. So lets see what they have in store this week!
Ricardo G. from Ocean Beach, CA writes:
Heavenly father, when my religious friends say that they are not going to comply, what exactly do they mean?
Well brother Ricardo, they mean that theyre going to claim that today its mask mandates, tomorrow were going directly to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany! Wow, talk about something that escalated quickly!
Radical right-wing pastor Tony Spell appeared on The Pete Santilli Show Thursday, where he likened requiring schoolchildren to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to the Holocaust.
Spell, who has been locked in battle with authorities in Louisiana for more than a year over his steadfast refusal to abide by any of the states stay-at-home orders, mask mandates, and other public health restrictions, declared that Americans must resist and refuse to comply with efforts to limit the spread of the virus.
Imagine telling a child, Put this mask on to sit in your class, take it off or pull it down to sip or put something in your mouth, and put it back up,' Spell said. Why? Well, because the government says so.
Put this Star of David on your arm, and go to the Warsaw Ghetto. But why? Because the government said so, he continued. Get in this cattle car and go to six concentration camps, strip off your clothes, naked, hand you a bar of soap like youre going to take a shower. Why? Because the government says so. And then they drop Zyklon B, and 6 million Jews are murdered in Hitlers concentration camp, and 50 million civilians are killed under the crooked cross of the swastika. Why? Because a madman said so.

Yes that indeed escalated very quickly! Next on the Hotline to Heaven we have:
Lucille O. from Milwaukee, WI writes:
Heavenly Father,
I have relatives who are unfortunately on the MAGA side of politics that I must buy Christmas presents for. What do I get them?
Well, sister Lucille! Theres no shortage of completely ridiculous gifts that you can get your MAGA relatives, heres a few selections!
As the Fox News Christmas tree was lit aflame in New York City, reportedly by a troubled homeless man, the network and right-wing media sprang into action. Torching Christmas trees, Tucker Carlson said, is an attack on Christianity. To Fox and its friends in the religious right, it was just the latest skirmish in the never-ending War on Christmas supposedly being waged by leftist secularists against their Christian nation. Of course, to the broader right-wing movement, it was also a sign of how the country has descended into chaos without a White House occupied by former President Donald Trump, who we all know saved Christmas.
So, while all those on the left may be granted coal this holiday season, what may good conservatives be unwrapping under their Christmas trees (that is, assuming they still stand)? Were glad you asked. Right Wing Watchs 2021 annual gift guide for the holiday season is here.
Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like
Looking for some holiday cheer this season? You can order a Its Beginning To Look A Lot Like Lets Go Brandon! T-shirt for person in your life who really wants to say Fuck Joe Biden but realizes there are kids around. Sold on Donald Trump Jr.s website, its a good reminder that while the holiday season might be about giving and thanks, its also about sticking it to the liberal in your family.

Thats MAGA Santa for you! Our next prayer comes from Harry H. from Brooklyn, New York:
Heavenly Father,
Why are our anti-vaxxers seem so intent on taking themselves out? I know many who are practically dying for the cause.
Well thats a tricky subject, Brother Harry, given the extreme rhetoric coming from our right-wing religious zealots, it might be no surprise thats where they are headed. We might see some insane things happen to population numbers in the coming months. These people are not what the good LAWRD JAYSUS had in mind! Nothing can ever be naturally occurring, it must be a conspiracy!
Jordan Y. from Miami, FL writes:
Heavenly father,
Why do people insist on calling themselves prophets?
Well, Sister Jordan, there are plenty of reasons why and none of them are really Biblically correct. I mean imagine the balls that it takes to call yourself a prophet. And we may have to do a deep dive on this subject in a future sermon. But really, these so-called prophets and those who take the name of the LAWRD JAYSUS in vein can go fuck themselves with a rusty spoon!
Thanks for that, discount Ozzy Osbourne. Our final prayer this week comes from Kevin J. from North Hollywood, California:
Heavenly father,
Why cant I go to a church without it being like some sort of MAGA campaign event? And why is it that these things are becoming like rock concerts?
Well theres no logical explanation for that. But if you see some of these events popping up in your town, run the other way! They do not have the best interests of America, or their religion, at hand!
Right-wing conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec wants you to hang out with him at Turning Point USAs America Fest, billed as the biggest event in the conservative movement in Phoenix, Arizona, Dec 18-21. At least thats what he says on Twitter, where he offers a promo code for the event and insists it makes a great Christmas present. Joining him will be TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, Fox News Tucker Carlson, former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and Donald Trump Jr.
The event brings together right-wing Congress members, Christian nationalists, conspiracy theorists, and even right-wing activist athletes. A flashy promo video shows young conservatives dancing at what looks like a concertand indeed, the event promises full concerts from a handful of younger country music stars, God Bless the USA singer Lee Greenwood, and Dee Jay Silver.
While the promotion makes the event look more like a party, Turning Point USA is an organization that trains and mobilizes right-wing college students. This summer, that mobilization focused on targeting public school boards for allowing schools to teach about racism in U.S. history and implementing LGBTQ-inclusive policies. The group has raised tens of millions of dollars, peddled disinformation about President Joe Bidens win in 2020, and stoked fears about COVID-19 vaccines. The Associated Press writes that Kirk, who has called George Floyd a scumbag, exploits the racial divide to reach Gen Z.
