Prejean discusses her breast implants with "ChristianityToday"
Edited on Fri Nov-13-09 08:56 PM by Bluebear
I know, I know. But every time she opens her mouth she seals the deal, the woman has a screw loose.


=====

In between half-hearted attempts at storming off "Larry King Live" and testy appearances on "The View," Carrie Prejean spoke to Christianity Today about her breast implants, why she's not homophobic, and what it means to be a Christian beauty queen.

We've taken the liberty of bolding the good parts.

On whether or not breast implants are "compatible" with the Christian faith:

No, I don't think there's anything wrong with getting breast implants as a Christian. I think it's a personal decision. I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it says you shouldn't get breast implants.

On beauty pageants:

I think you can be a Christian and compete in a pageant. I think you can be a Christian and be a model. It depends on how you act as that role, and if you remember who you are and you remember what you stand for and stay true to who you are, you can be in any job. Just don't compromise what you believe in.

On why it's not hypocritical to tout "Christian" values in spite of topless photos and underage sex tapes:

No one's perfect. You're not perfect, I'm not perfect. Everyone's made mistakes. So if people want to judge me and say that I'm not a good person because of something I did when I was young, that's their problem. But what really matters is who I am now. We as Christians need to stick together and realize that the Enemy is powerful, and that there are so many people out there who will try and destroy good people. It's a crazy world, that's all I can say.

Also, in case you were wondering:

I've never said that I hated gays. I have friends who are gay. I have hairdressers who are gay.

All emphasis ours.

3. Wonder if she's been to any house parties on C Street
She sure sounds like one of them trying to justify and excuse her behavior and bigotry.

4. Uh oh!
http://www.gotquestions.org/plastic-surgery.html

Question: "What does the Bible say about a Christian having plastic / cosmetic surgery?"

The most commonly performed cosmetic procedures include breast augmentation/lifts, liposuction (the removal of body fat), facelifts, eyelid lifts, buttock and other body lifts, leg vein treatments, botox/fat injections, and nose and face reshaping. Approximately two million people subject themselves to these kinds of procedures each year, shelling out money and sacrificing time and comfort. When vanity motivates a person to undergoing surgery, he/she has become his/her own idol. The Bible warns us not to be vain or conceited (Philippians 2:3-4) and not to draw attention to ourselves by the way we look (1 Timothy 2:9). Another concern would be the cost. This is a major consideration because most people have families, and the expense of plastic surgery should never come before the needs of the family. The Bible also tells us that we need to use wisely the money that God has entrusted to us (Proverbs 11:24-25; Luke 16:10-12).

13. Now that's a pair of boobs!
Of course, we see a simple-minded hypocrite, but the fundies see a meek sheep looking for redemption. Nothing gives them a hard-on faster.

7. Pretty sure the Bible doesn't say "no sex videos" either
but I doubt she'd try to slip that one past Christianity Today.

8. So, "Christianity Today" gets Biblical guidance from a 22-year-old airhead. . .
quite the intellectually challenging (challenged?) publication, I'd hazard to surmise. . .

17. you'd be incorrect
It's a very liberal publication, at least as far as Christian publications go. I believe they're having a little fun at her expense.

9. None of that stuff is in the
Constitution, either. As they say, if it ain't there, then they can't do it.

19. No.... For Rape, You Are Going To Have To Pay Her Father Fifty Shekels....
Deuteronomy 22:28-29:

If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

24. It only says not to covet thy neighbor's ass, doesn't mention coveting boobs
at all - let's not forget, these fundies take the Bible literally. If it's not mentioned, it's Jeebus approved

If this is the only TV time she can get then it won't be much longer until she fades off into total obscurity.

20. Most Protestants Say "Yes"

Catholics used to be down on masturbation, but I don't know if they've reconsidered that.

A lot of bible-banging Protestants are okay with it, as long as your fantasies are limited to how wonderful marriage will be.

31. How do you suppose all of those "chastity rings" out there are being maintained, by
all of those young dealers in the "coin of the social realm", i.e. S - E - X.

Problem: How does one maintain a positive self:social-concept AND "save yourself for marriage"? Answer: How about mutual masturbation? You get to think of yourself as a "virgin" AND you get the BUZZZZ! from advertising with your pretty little silver ring and maybe even a special group-date with your peers and your/their dad(s) where the main topic is what you aren't letting members of the opposite sex do with your genitilia!!!

26. If I might propose a New Rule...
"So if people want to judge me and say that I'm not a good person because of something I did when I was young"

You have to be more than a year past the legal drinking age before you can invoke the youthful indiscretion excuse.

32. 'Christians need to stick together and realize that the Enemy is powerful'
Who is this "Enemy" she speaks of?

Sounds a lot like Republicans when they replace "opponent" with "enemy" on the campaign trail and in Washington.

Carrie: Well God made them okay, but I made them spectacular. If you think they are awesome, then you ought to see me working my hot wet pussy into a screaming orgasm. God gave me that gift, and he meant for me to use it for my pleasure.
