| Christan Wives Need to Give Head, Says Pastor |
| International News | |||
 If you’re not religious, maybe this pastor can change your mind. He told the faithful at an Edinburgh service: “Men, I am glad to report to you that oral sex is biblical…” He then addressed the women in the audience, exhorting them to pleasure their husbands as good Christian wives: “Ladies, your husbands appreciate oral sex. It’s biblical. It’s right here [in the Song of Solomon]: ‘The fruit of her husband is sweet to her taste, and she delights to be beneath him.’” Who ever knew that the Song of Solomon also gave “biblical justification for spouses stripping for each other”? Thank God for Pastor Mark Driscoll. Despite being theologically conservative, he can preach about sex toys and nymphomania like no other pastor out there. In fact, he even recommends that good Christian wives visit a website set up for the sole purpose of making their husbands happy in the marital bed. The name of the site is “Christian Nymphos,” and it’s well worth a look, especially if you've never associated "Christian women" and "nymphos" before! Driscoll preaches at the Mars Hill Church in Seattle (USA) and is the co-founder of the Acts 29 Network, which is dedicated to “planting” new churches. But Driscoll hasn’t made many friends by his liberal cultural views. He’s written, for example, that pastors’ wives should be more sexually available to their husbands: “Most pastors I know do not have satisfying, free, sexual conversations and liberties with their wives. At the risk of being even more widely despised than I currently am, I will lean over the plate and take one for the team on this. It is not uncommon to meet pastors’ wives who really let themselves go; they sometimes feel that because their husband is a pastor, he is therefore trapped into fidelity, which gives them cause for laziness. A wife who lets herself go and is not sexually available to her husband in the ways that the Song of Songs is so frank about is not responsible for her husband’s sin, but she may not be helping him either.” Driscoll later apologized for the statement. Despite being named one of the top 50 most influential Christians in America by Christian publishing company Zondervan in 2008, Driscoll has many enemies, including Dick Bott, founder of one of the largest U.S. Christian radio networks. Bott pulled all programming involving Mark Driscoll or his ministries from his network. If you’re curious about Mark Driscoll and would like to see his shock-jock preaching in action, check out his “Ask Anything” video series, in which he tackles literally any question people throw at him, from birth control to dating. You can’t miss the one on “Sexual Sin,” where Driscoll argues that God intended us to receive pleasure from sex. Who knew sex was such a Godly topic?
