Bible-thumping Alabama governor expelled from church after racy phone calls go public

Posted by | March 29, 2016 17:12 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Religion


He was once a deacon at the church that has now banned him.

Gov. Robert Bentley and his top advisor, Rebekah Mason, both attended First Baptist Church of Tuscaloosa for years. But they have apparently been expelled after the release of an audio recording in which Bentley makes sexually explicit comments to Mason.

“While church discipline is a church family matter, both Governor Robert Bentley and Mrs. Rebekah Mason are no longer members of First Baptist Church Tuscaloosa,” Senior Pastor Gil McKee told the Christian News Network. “I continue to pray for each of them.”

McKee had previously compared Bentley to the Old Testament prophet Joshua. “God has called him to this mission of leadership,” McKee said during Bentley’s inauguration day in 2011, according to The Gadsden Times.

    He was lookin’ to thump more than his bible…

    I bet before he was in power, women never gave him a second look. It seems like these fools get in a position of power then they all the sudden can’t control their urges.

    The devil made him do it (with thanks to Geraldine Jones aka Flip Wilson)

    “God has called him to this mission of leadership,” McKee said. Would that be the god that is all knowing, including the future, who called a power-hungry adulterer to this mission of leadership?

      It was that racist god that only loves white racists… there are over 44,000 gods so it is hard to keep them straight.

      • clemans March 30th, 2016 at 02:03

        a cause for maybe taking up drinking……trying to keep that many “straight”……smiles

        but #1,245 is the true boss of them all/

    What a bunch of hypocrites. You can be thrown out of a church for sinning? Isn’t that when you need a church most? What happened to forgiveness? What would we find if we bugged the pastor’s phone? Or his wife’s?

    • Carla Akins March 29th, 2016 at 18:35

      I believe that first he has to admit it and ask for forgiveness.

      • Larry Schmitt March 29th, 2016 at 18:42

        According to the story he did both:
        Last week, Bentley admitted to making the sexual remarks to Mason — but denied there was a “physical” affair with the mother of three.

        “I would now like to apologize to the people of Alabama. I ask them to forgive me. I’ve been told about the possibility of tapes for two years,” he said at a news conference.

    Some Jesus freaks put on this air of superiority that often is their downfall. After all, they are just human.

    getting expelled from an Alabama church is equivalent to being asked to leave a wal-mart

    • clemans March 30th, 2016 at 02:00

      is that a bad thing?

      • fahvel March 30th, 2016 at 04:56

        at this moment I wish I could hum Dueling Banjos and share it with you all.

        • granpa.usthai March 30th, 2016 at 09:39

          does this help?

        going to wally world or being asked to leave ?

        • clemans April 3rd, 2016 at 10:02

          thinking on those options…….it is a toss up really, both would be bad……seeing photos of some of the people who go to wally world makes me wonder just how bad someone has to be to be asked to leave?

  11. jybarz March 29th, 2016 at 20:41

    Bible humper!

    • clemans March 30th, 2016 at 02:00

      my spouse used to say that if one was looking for an easy girl they could go to Bible camp and look for a preacher’s daughter……he was young. I guess if you are older, you look for a preacher or elder and somebody’s wife.

  12. Chris March 29th, 2016 at 22:22

    I believe the term is excommunicated rather than expelled.

    Then again, we’re talking about Alabama, so who knows? (Rimshot!)

  13. amersham46 March 30th, 2016 at 00:42

    He is getting off lightly , in a more religious era he would have been stoned or burnt at the stake

      I am getting a salary of 6700 dollars each week. Over a year ago I was in a horrible condition ,,pd jobless and no bank credit . Thanks to one of my friends who showed me a way where I was able to gather myself and making average of 58 d/h. So it can change your life as it has changed mine. Why not try this.

      Look here for details

    “I would now like to apologize to the people of Alabama. I ask them to forgive me. I’ve been told about the possibility of tapes for two years,” he said at a news conference.
    And you obviously did one hell of a job to hide it from them as well, till now, hypocrite.

    I have no sympathy for these holier-than-thou bible thumping hypocrites.

    Bentley chastised the U.S. Supreme Court in 2015 for legalizing same-sex marriage, arguing that it conflicted with God’s definition of marriage.
