Re: Pray for Derick Ion (Alemany), a True Christian™ Entrepreneur Who Lost His Possessions in the Oakland

But Brother Alvin, when I saw his picture I was immediately reminded of our own beloved Brother James Hutchins. You could not wish for a more Godly American gentleman than Brother James, though obviously he has no truck with stupid hats and would never wear earrings, matching or otherwise.

Obviously, I could be wrong. I distinctly remember being wrong once a few years ago and it could easily happen again. One of the hats I have seen perched upon this man's head was some sort of homosexual looking floppy cap. Another was purple. I have never seen a Christian who looked like that, but, of course, we are talking about California. It could be some kind of disguise that he wears to try to avoid beatings from the muggers, dope salesmen and artists who are much in evidence.

I am certain that we should be praying over this, but I am not sure what we should be praying for. Was this a pillar of fire meant to herald the coming cataclysm which will soon consume California? Does this man need our help, or should we be praying that he gets a quick trip to Hell? I am conflicted and I have asked the Lord for guidance.

I have to say that I have seen pictures of this man and my suspicion is that his claim to being a Christian is a false claim. He doesn't even look like an American, much less a Christian. He wears ear rings which don't even match and I saw a picture of him wearing some kind of ridiculous hat. He seems to be some kind of foreign homosexual of the type that flaunts themselves in godless San Francisco, which is close to Oakland. Oakland is sort of like a San Francisco for perverts, dope fiends, thieves and other Democrats who can't afford the real San Francisco. In summation, I am very suspicious of this man.

Brother Alvin, the way I understand it, he had to do these things to himself in order to establish rapport with these abominable hipster wannabes. I believe the term for that is "going native," and he had to do so in order to squeeze some dough from these lowly creatures.

Brother Alvin, I don't need to spell this out but obviously it is FAR more likely that I am wrong.

I am certain that we should be praying over this, but I am not sure what we should be praying for.

These are uncertain times. When in doubt, my family has a favorite prayer:

Dear , please grant me the wisdom to pray for the thing that Thou deemest to be the right thing to pray for. But if Thou art too busy to do that, , then I beg Thee to take my prayer for the right thing as prayed.

Do you have any idea how hard it is going to be to get a building permit in Oakland, after this?
