Friends,
I was shocked and horrified to read THIS news story just the other day -
It's a freakshow, friends! Obviously these weirdos have no idea the vast amount of Bible verses on God's hatred of the foolish! 
God will NOT be mocked, clown Christians! For the Bible teaches us the foolish goto Hell!
Mark 7:21-23
“For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, FOOLISHNESS. All these EVIL THINGS come from within, and they DEFILE a person.”

Clowns in Joseph Grimaldi church tribute service
Dozens of clowns attended the church service at Holy Trinity Church in Dalston
Rubber noses, frizzy wigs and multi-coloured suits may not sound like your usual Sunday best.
But this look was very much en vogue in an east London church.
Armed with hand puppets, balloon animals and whoopie cushions, dozens of clowns descended on Holy Trinity Church in Dalston.
They were there to remember fellow clowns who have passed on, and pay tribute to the man seen as the father of modern clowning - Joseph Grimaldi.
Grimaldi, who made his stage debut at the Sadler's Wells Theatre when he was less than two years old, is thought to be the inspiration for the clown nickname "Joey".
The 19th Century London clown trail blazed modern clown comedy, clobber and antics.
Such was the anticipation for the 67th annual event, the church was packed to the rafters an hour before the service had even begun.
But Custard Clown Uncle Colin and his prankster pal Mr Woo, sporting a bright red wig, rosy cheeks and garish checked suit, were on hand to buffoon around and warm up the crowds.
Not that they needed warming up - children's cheers echoed around the church at their comedy capers.
After an hour of waiting, circus show-tunes were bashed out on the organ, and the doors at the back of the church burst open.
A variegated sea of jokers, jesters and pranksters dressed in motley, frolicked up the aisle, entertaining on their way, before plonking themselves in front of the altar.
The service began as Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin addressed the church.
Clown's Prayer
Shimmering oversized bowtie wearing Jolly Jack, 64, from Islington, who has been a clown since the Jubilee Street parties of 1977, gave a reading from the Bible.
The service then took a less traditional turn as balloon animals were made for the local children.
Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin Speaker's Chaplain
The odd horn hooter went off during the hymns, but the clowns were generally on their best behaviour.
There was a sombre moment as the names of clowns who had died in the last year were read out one by one.
A candle was lit for each clown and carried down the aisle, followed by a wreath for Grimaldi.
Finally, the Clown's Prayer was said, which thanked God for the gift of laughter.
But afterwards, the show had only just begun. Clowns descended on the church hall and performed for the waiting families.
Tuppy and Stephen Richardson had squeezed their gigantic boots and homemade outfits into suitcases and got on a plane from Adelade, Australia, to be at the service.
