Rev. Coy Privette, the president of the Christian Action League, a North Carolina ultraconservative Christian political organization based in Raleigh, has been arrested for soliciting prostitution:

Privette, 74, was charged with six counts of misdemeanor aiding and abetting prostitution by renting a hotel room and paying for sexual acts, according to State Bureau of Investigation Agent Kevin Canty. Tiffany Denise Summers, 32, of Salisbury, was charged with six counts of misdemeanor prostitution, Canty said.

The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

It didn't make sense to me either that he'd pay with checks, but after reading the story I get it. He was trying to get over and con the hooker. He'd pay for all the services with a check and then reported the checks stolen. That got him "free" services and also if the checks were traced by to him, he could say they were stolen. But stupidly, by him reporting them stolen, he led them directly to the hooker. Dummy.

FYI: She looks like a man.

I want to know if the hooker is a Christian. If so, Coy Privette was simply living up to the name of his organization by getting some "Christian action."

PS You guys have a problem with the prostitute? As a woman, I have to say that Privette is one butt-ugly, old white man. I think the hooker deserves a Purple Heart (or whatever they hand out for -- that word again!-- bravery in action).

Do you think twice that someone robbed his checkbook, stoole a check and returned his book and then used the check for hookers?
It was two occassions.

anyway I'm sure were the ones that are sinners, he will be forgiven since he is so high up in the church as a having minor weakness and falling to temptation, and mean while they will try to shove these morals they dont5 even follow into law.

well it goes to show the religioous can be immoral so can it be said athests CAN be very moral.
morality doesnt come from the bible and if you think it does i suggest you read again.

I honestly think the ten commandments should be posted in public places, but unadulterated. Because people are ignorant.
Hey great ideas, the punishment a bit stiff. And if i dont kill you for working on sunday, my neighbors are supposed to kill me for being weak.
Oh yeah we can ignore the killing part now (even though jesus siad specifically he wasnt going to change the old laws) How much more can we ignore now?

The League's purpose is to assist the church in fulfilling Christ's command to be the "salt" and the "light" of the earth.

It seems that in the past couple of years we have witnessed the implosion of the Christian Right. If this were an isolated incident it would be amusing, but considering how many similar incidents have occurred I can't help but wonder if the whole organization is crashing to the ground.

It would be a mistake to see the Christian right as a single monolith. The Christian right is made up of a myriad of organizations, schools of thought, families and single actors.

Though I completely agree that there is much diversity within Christianity, and more specifically Christian conservatives, it can't be denied that until this point they have been united on two issues, homosexuality and abortion, and that their unity has made them one of the most powerful voting blocks in the country. I don't dislike Christianity and respect the religious and historical diversity that its many branches are beholden too, but it disgusts me to see faith hijacked by people who are nothing if not hypocrites motivated by greed rather than altruism.

Spooky makes a good point.

These guys, when you get right down to it, have absolutely nothing to do with faith or Christianity. In fact, I have a feeling if Jesus were to walk among us today, he would be dismayed and horrified at those who profess such fierce loyalty to his teachings and are making millions, defiling his name and his message.

Spooky, Spooky.

When politics and religion become one, such as with the Christian Action League, they end up in the news. Perhaps if they worked harder to find the spiritual side of religion, rather than the activism side, they'd find their path much easier to walk.

Many religious leaders in America have failed their parishioners and especially the youth by making religion more about morality and rhetoric than finding the magic and spirit in the world around us. Perhaps if they climbed off the ivory pulpit and went outdoors and turned over a few rocks by a stream, or planted a tree or anything else that doesn't involve finding fault with whatever everyone else is doing, they'd find about what Christianity and other religions are really about... the mystery of life and why we're here.

There is nothing morally more abhorrent than what this old fart represents... and unfortunately he's not alone. Do as I say, not as I do has never held water, never will, but idiots like this guy and his ilk are more interested in power and money than being the good Samaritan. The louder, more abrasive and exclusionary these religiopoligoons are, the less they should be listened to and the more I want to see them fall.

Just a brief reminder of neocon claims in an earlier seed:

Dems are seen as having no moral authority

And at this point what is the Christian Right seen as having?

Yeah, that was almost laughable, Partisan. It put me in mind of a scene from "Outfoxed" when Rupert Murdoch, a propos of absolutely zilch, ordered a replay of the Chappaquidick incident during a FOX broadcast.

Even the newscasters were baffled.

Boy, they sure like to milk that one for all it's worth.

Off Topic::

Little Emily sits in her little pre-school desk, as soft sobs start to erupt from her in small spouts like intermitted hiccups of sorrow. Miss Green stoops down low and softly whispers her concerns "Why are you so sad today dear one". Emily looks Miss Green firmly in the eye and replies with a sniff, "It's my Mommy, My Mommy and Daddy. They are going to die!" With that, her eyes swell and she redoubles her sobs of despair. "Come with me" say's Miss Green as she takes the little girls hand and leads her to the hall so they can speak alone. "Now tell me Emily, what makes you think such a silly thing?" "I heard them talking about it last night." She replies between sobs of anguished tears. I'm sure you overheard something that you misunderstood and you shouldn't worry yourself about it. Tell me what happened and I will help you. "Well" Began the little girl as she began to settle down. "It was night, and I woke and wanted a drink, so I went to Mommy and Daddy's room, and heard them talking through the door about them dying. 'Sob." I'm sure it's not so bad as that dear what did they say? "I heard Daddy say' "Oh God I'm Coming' then Mommy said. 'Oh God I'm Coming too!"

Religious organizations wonder why people are having less faith. Look at the people who are supposed to be role models... it's like everywhere I turn these people are molesting kids, advocating racism or buying hookers.
