Am I a saint? Absolutely. All you have to do is a short study of the books of Acts and Romans to see that the church, the Bride of Christ, the believers, those who have been redeemed by the shed blood of Christ, the saved are referred to as SAINTS. I am a Saint just like Peter, like Mark, James, Barthlomew, Paul, Mary, Joseph, and so on.

Fuck people! It's getting closer! the day when Randy finally snaps and takes out a busload of children or blows up a Dairy Queen. What a Kooky Kult Leader!

Great Goulessarian.
My pastor occasionally uses the term saints, for the same reason, but to refer to the entire church, not in the "I'm a saint" sense Randy does. And he uses it in a friendly, almost laughing sense.
Randy is getting serisouly into cult territory. And I'll wager that the parents of a number of the "teens-4-christ" have no idea about the content of that site -- they probably assume that sense its a Christian site, it must be safe.
I must admit, reading that thread (the last page in particular) made my blood rise about 10o in temperature.
El Jefe is irony personified.
Wrong. Saints first need beatified, then canonized. These things are done by the Pope and his gang.
If you're a saint, I'm an archangel, bitch!
My old church taught that all Christians are saints; some are just more saintly than others.
Disturbing shades of Aminal Farm, if you think about it too much.
Well, it's not the Messiah, but it's close.
He'll be demanding the kids money, and then taking them to "Teens for Christ" camps soon. This is guy is seriously starting to scare me.
Delusions of Gradeur thirded.
Seriously, though, is there some kind of agency we can reporth this guy to? I think this borders on child abuse, brainwashing kids like this (not that all religions don't do that, bit this has overtones of the sinister). Hell, the site has 2,065 members...
"I am a Saint just like Peter, like Mark, James, Barthlomew, Paul, Mary, Joseph, and so on."
I was taught "saint" refers to believers while "Saint" refers to those who have been canonized as Saints by a Church, in most cases the RCC.
I will agree that BR is like Saint Paul, who was an egotistical, lying blowhard who disregarded much of what Jesus taught.
Personally, I'm waiting for the day that Randy posts his "Haha, I've been duping you all along you ignorant teen shits!" message. Because if he isn't one major Poe, we're going to be seeing him on the news soon in an orange jumpsuit with a bag over his head.
"I am a Saint just like Peter, like Mark, James, Barthlomew, Paul, Mary, Joseph, and so on."
Randy, you're more closely related to a St. Bernard than an actual Saint.
However, I'm absolutely positive that an average St. Bernard is much more intelligent than you. Plus, they carry those casks of brandy around their necks, so they're more useful than you, too.
You do have one thing in common, though. From Wiki: "St. Bernards are often fond of children and are loyal to their family, but, as with any dog, should not be left unsupervised with young children .
Oh and more on St Bernards.
These dogs are gargantuan in size and in accomplishments, with three listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. "Benedictine" won the honor of the largest dog on record by tipping the truck scales at 305 pounds. A Saint named Ayette's Brandy Bear shifted the heaviest load, 6,400'/2 pounds of steel on a wheeled cart, for 15 feet in less than 90 seconds. And a bitch, appropriately named "Careless Ann," tied the record for the largest litter with 23 puppies whelped.
As true giants, they have the physical problems associated with the other large breeds. Their gait is lumbering, they slobber and are expensive to feed. Families that are willing to cope with these aspects have majesty at their feet.
Saints are not always "saints," but they are always large. The combination takes an owner who is willing to discipline that adorable ball of fluff right from the start. Responsible breeders urge buyers to be selective, choosing from sturdy-bodied parentage with gentle temperament.
Bro Randy, which capital sin are you adding to your list so explicitly(apart from lust and glutony, and probably ire and greed)?, pride?

I was thinking the same thing before I posted my previous comment, but decided to go with the snark instead.
This is frightening! Sooner or later (probably sooner) Randy is going to think he is King David, like whiterider does... and that, my friends, would be the end of the world. Seriously, Randy proves there is no god. If there were a just and loving god, s/he would not let people like randy live to say things like this...
...Well, I was waiting for lightning/a tornado/Gene Simmons to blast Randy's house off the face of the earth after this little gem, but it looks like I'm gonna have to do it myself.
I need about 50 tons of commercial fireworks for this one, folks. Who wants to drive the truck?

Keep that in mind. This isn't new, and I doubt it has changed. I really want to believe that he just means he's been sanctified, but then he adds the last bit. The best hope is that he says this because believes all believers are sanctified equally.
I heard this same thing all the time when I was growing up. While I think Randy is totally and completely insane, I'm not sure this is the evidence we think it is. This is run of the mill thinking for fundies from my experience. Although I don't think it will be long before Randy finally falls off the edge he is teetering on.
Okay, I just semi-defended this asshole. I need to shower so hard that it rubs off my skin.
Not to defend brother randy or anything, but he's stating that all 'believers' are, biblically, considered to be saints. He's not really singling himself out here. This quote is being taken out of context.
I've said it before, and I'll say it agian, it's a cult, and this just proves to me the true depths of Randy's insanity.
Aah, the power you have over these kids' minds feels good, doesn't it? It's a great feeling to be able to sit down at that keyboard and mould them in your image, eh? Truly, you must feel like a saint.
Well, time for a little reality check, Randy. These kids will eventually move on and hopefully become sane and well functioning members of society. I have the pleasure of being able to work with teenagers, and I'm always impressed by their resilience against bullshit. I'm not too worried about them. They've got a future, regardless of how many stumbling blocks you throw in their way. And in 5 years' time T4C will hopefully just be a faint and sad memory.
You, on the other hand will still have to wake up, look in the mirror, and still see that same fat, useless no-mark with an ugly wife and dreams of grandeur that you are today. Enjoy your moment in the sun, big boy. As the old adage goes: "This, too, shall pass." You're losing, Randy.
Why, Lord, Why? Why don't your most devout supplicants really want to meet you? Can't You, Almighty, soften their hearts as like unto their heads? Show them your Truth, Lord. Let them know in their hearts that a martyr's death is required to face the Glory of the Lord, and that such a death can be achieved most quickly by going fully armed to the nearest police station, throwing open the doors with gun in hand, and Reclaiming our Government for Christ!
Of course, a good christian shitbag like Randy never goes in for martyrdom until he has followers willing to die before him.
Except for that vital step: death.
Ah, yes. Death, Brother Randy. Death is but a door. Here, lemme hold that for ya.
I was under the impression that in Protestantism 'saint' does refer to any Christian. However, 'Saint' (capitalised) is something different, and that BR uses that is rather telling. So, probably not taken so much out of context. BR is on one big egotrip.
Now is it just me or does this whole god-complex thing reek of "cult leader" to anyone else.
Oh, on a side note, I recommend louis theroux's "the most hated family in america" to anyone, really great, but anywho, I digress.
Sorry do you mean me.
What do you mean by keep, that was my first post.
And if you mean digress yes it does mean what I think it does, it means "To turn aside, especially from the main subject in writing or speaking; stray."
WEll. Thats a new high for fundieism right there!
Gotta love good ol Bro. Randy. Good laughs on a rainy day, eh?
"I am a Saint just like Peter, like Mark, James, Barthlomew, Paul, Mary, Joseph, and so on."
Yes, and you're also a lunatic just like them too.
This guy kind of reminds me of Karras from Thief 2. "Praise be to Karras! ...and the Builder."
Yeah, but Karras had actual talent.
Actually, Brother Randy is a semi-sentient pile of shit that was never wiped off the sidewalk. Jerry Falwell came along one day, and pressed a few twigs into the decomposing defecation, and allowed God to breathe the halitosis-ridden breath of Godly-life into the fecal matter.
And that's how Brother Randy was made.
Wasn't there a sin called Pride?
Despite the fact that this guy crossed the line into thinly-veiled-messiah-complex,I'm optimistic that he'll follow Jim Jones's footsteps.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Randy, you're an idiot.
It is doctrine among lots of Protestants that all of the saved are "saints".
However, much of mainstream Protestantism, while not revering them as Catholics do, also use the them "Saints" to refer to the especially influential people in church history.
And almost no one from the Christian mainstream would consider themselves as a saint on the same level as Peter or Mark or Mary...
I thought you had to be dead to be a saint. And then there was the long outdrawn process of canonization and then sanctification. Oh sorry, that's only the Catholic Christians. The Eastern Orthodox say anyone who's in Heaven is a saint. The Anglicans say a saint is a person who has been elevated by popular opinion as a pious and holy person. And the Protestants say everyone who's a Christian is a saint.
Randy, buddy, if everyone is special, then no-one is special. You know that, don't you?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
