Video of Miss California @ Rock Church & Her Convo w/God
This entry is a follow up to the blog below (as well as this one, this one, and this one) and features a video from the Rock Church, where Miss California, Carrie Prejean, attends. On Sunday, she told the story about the Miss USA Pageant and the statement she made when answering a question about gay marriage posed by Perez Hilton. There are a few apparent splice edits in the video, so I'm not sure what was taken out or how long the original length of her conversation with Pastor Miles McPherson was; but there are several interesting parts.
- At .25 seconds into the video, McPherson asks her what went through her mind when Perez Hilton asked the question about gay marriage. He says "Did you and God have a moment?" She responds, "God said to me at this point, are you going to stand up for what you believe or are you going to compromise your beliefs to win Miss USA?"
- At 5:00, she talks about asking God to show her a sign, so she can know if going to NYC to talk with Matt Lauer on the Today Show was the right thing to do.
- At 7:35, she explains that she WAS representing the state of California and the majority of America by stating that marriage should only be between a man and a woman and goes onto say, "When I decided to go against man and stand up for what I believe... I learned that God has a bigger crown than any man can give you."
- She also thanks the gay community twice in the last minute of the video.
What are you feelings about Miss California and about the aftermath of the pageant? Do you feel that Prejean has been opportunistic as a result of the statement she made?

What a dumb ass. Religion is stupid.
oh my goodness. i want to hurt her very badly. is that wrong? hahahaha
Ignorance is bliss i suppose.
I agree with Miss California and Applaud her for speaking her heart!
NBC = GOD, hahahhaha.
"God will provide clothes for me. Thank god, NBC gave me an allowance to buy clothes."
hhahahahahahahahahahaha
Again, she was reading when she said that crap about the crown that her god will give her. I wonder if NOM wrote that for her also, just like her second Today show appearance. We all know who the puppet masters are.
You WOULD sort of think that if it was your job to speak, you could at least spend a few moments memorizing the lines. This is the most attention she will receive: one has to wonder if she will be able to handle that position af Fox after all.
Ummm...she answered the question IMMEDIATELY, so I know know exactly WHEN this lengthy converssation with a God could have possibly taken place. But the very notion of it seemed to have pleased THIS audience. I would venture to say that since she (thankfully) lost, she is desperate to stay in SOME KIND of spotlight, so she chose the easiest one: religious nuttery. But the platform for that is less, now that Bush is gone. I feel she will go the route of Anita Bryant and "Dr" Laura. That means she will UNDERESTIMATE the number of gay people in the country (let alone the state of California!) and the intensity of their anger, and be thrown forcibly into total obscurity. Both Byrant and Schlessinger never even say the WORD "gay" these days!
The very idea of "I can do this, but YOU can't" (no offense?) is totally outrageous. It is not a mere opinion. She more or less said "I am 'normal' the Bible says so--but gays are not--they don't count." And where did she get this idea we live in a country where we can CHOOSE same sex marriage? THAT is the problem---we can't! And she contributes to that. That is the problem.
I do really love the new term "opposite marriage" now, even though I really dont know what it means. Stupid people give us great things to mock.

Hahah, right on! Because at Fox she would have to look at the camera and not down at her notes while speaking. But still, I would venture to guess that Murdoch would hire her in a second. And 2 weeks into her job, Bill-O get's fired for trying to feel her up off camera...'C'mon baby, let me feel what fake feels like..."
I heard 'opposite marriage' means like marrying your furniture, or car??...that's what some smiley faced person told me. lol.
