[su_right_ad]The California pastor singled out women who have sex before marriage.

Paul Chappell, founder and president of West Coast Baptist College and pastor of Lancaster Baptist Church, lamented what he perceives to be a lack of purity and modesty among women.

“One wonders, whatever happened to purity?” he asked in the sermon. “Whatever happened to that? Whatever happened to the days when girls said, I’m not going to be touched by every guy? I’m not going to walk down the aisle like a filthy dishrag on my wedding day. Whatever happened to that day?”…

“I don’t want to sound weird tonight, (but) there’s a reason when ladies come up here to sing that the rule, if you want to use it, the standard – I don’t care what you call it, call it legalism, call it control – I don’t care what you call it, there is a standard in this church that the dresses are going to come down to the knee when a lady stands up here,” Chappell said.

    So, he’s not getting laid and he’s taking it out on the women?

    • Suzanne McFly November 14th, 2014 at 7:09 pm

      Typical (right wing) man 🙂

    Pastor Paul Chappell is nothing more than a lying charlatan who makes his living off the gullible who fear an imaginary god.
    I would rather have a dozen “filthy washrags” in my presence than this piece of garbage.

  3. R.J. Carter November 14th, 2014 at 5:47 pm

    What about the men?

    • Eric Trommater November 14th, 2014 at 5:55 pm

      Apparently they are all virgin dishrags.

    • StoneyCurtisll November 14th, 2014 at 5:57 pm

      I will assume the men are the ones that soiled the “filthy dishrags”…
      But Pastor Paul applies no blame to the men for being enticed by women who brazenly show bare ankles and and exposed flowing hair..(where is her hijab?)

    • allison1050 November 14th, 2014 at 8:49 pm

      Don’t cha know..I think they must be dirty dish towels!

  4. Roctuna November 14th, 2014 at 5:48 pm

    I don’t know about you but I perceive a lack of sanity among baptist pastors. Not much compassion either.

    • burqa November 14th, 2014 at 8:20 pm

      I have heard a number of sermons from quite a few Baptist preachers and have gotten to know a few.
      None of them ever talked like that and were pretty nice people who tended to do a lot for the community.
      Your reaction is what is desired here – to keep highlighting kooks to the end that people think they represent the rest of the group.
      It’s what bigots do.
      Fair-minded people judge a large group by what the overwhelming majority do or say.
      There are millions of Baptists out there, and any group that large is going to have a number of nitwits who disgust us. Examine any group that large – left-handed people, golfers, jazz fans, New Yorkers, tall people, Germans, – and you’ll find a number of dolts among them on a regular basis if you take the time to look.
      Take a look at the web pages of several Baptist churches where you live and see what sorts of activities the congregation is up to.

      • Ember1 November 14th, 2014 at 11:53 pm

        And as long as you keep them, and don’t disclaim them, and are fine with them being in positions of power, you are tainted by them. I don’t care how equitable your personal congregation might be, your church is still a problem when it enables and supports those like him. Even if 90% are great, if you have 10% like him that go pretty much unchallenged and occupy leadership positions, it taints the whole.

      • Roctuna November 15th, 2014 at 12:45 am

        I beg to differ. I’ve lived in the south for 34 years and this matches my experience with baptist pastors and southern baptists/fundies in general. I judge them by their actions and I find them pretty dispicable.

      • rg9rts November 15th, 2014 at 2:23 am

        Their problem is they can’t stop themselves from forcing their ideas on everyone else

  5. Eric Trommater November 14th, 2014 at 5:53 pm

    Would clean dish rags be any less insulting? I mean a dishrag is a dishrag right? If it’s filthy throw it in the wash right?

    • R.J. Carter November 14th, 2014 at 5:59 pm

      “Get thee to a launderer, thou filthy dishrag,” Jesus said to the woman at the well.

      • Carla Akins November 14th, 2014 at 6:17 pm

        I think I’ll stencil that on the wall.

      • Anomaly 100 November 14th, 2014 at 7:35 pm

        Remember when he said to the prostitute, “You ho! Get the hell away from me you unclean woman!”

  6. Khary A November 14th, 2014 at 6:02 pm

    Is there anything as low as a man “slut shaming”? I can’t wait till they find this guy with a prostitute.

    • tiredoftea November 14th, 2014 at 6:15 pm

      Likely will be a male prostitute and lot’s of crack nearby. Like that CO. preacher from a few years ago.

  7. StoneyCurtisll November 14th, 2014 at 6:03 pm

    This is a prime example of how the right wing religious fundamentalist view women in America..(filthy dishrags) who must be virgins before marriage, and subservient to their husbands..

    • KABoink_after_wingnut_hacker November 14th, 2014 at 6:48 pm

      Exactly!

  8. Anomaly 100 November 14th, 2014 at 6:08 pm

          Only one way to find out.

        • tracey marie November 14th, 2014 at 7:56 pm

          we saw you dangling in a tree, fat ass?

          • Anomaly 100 November 14th, 2014 at 8:06 pm

            Don’t we all have a picture of ourselves dangling from a tree totally not roofied?

          • tracey marie November 14th, 2014 at 8:23 pm

            why thanks for the shot of a small butt, now I have to go exercise some more

          • Anomaly 100 November 14th, 2014 at 8:29 pm

            By the way, it’s really hard to take a butt selfie.

          • tracey marie November 14th, 2014 at 8:37 pm

    “Pastor: Women Who Have Sex Before Marriage Are ‘Filthy Dishrags’”

    …says the Baptist “minister” who hates women because they ignore his advances…

  11. tracey marie November 14th, 2014 at 7:56 pm

    dresses to the knees prevents sex?

    • edmeyer_able November 14th, 2014 at 8:05 pm

      Not if you’re doing it right.

      • tracey marie November 14th, 2014 at 8:13 pm

        you are so bad.

    • whatthe46 November 14th, 2014 at 8:12 pm

      but, they’d complain about a woman wearing pants as well. go figure.

  12. whatthe46 November 14th, 2014 at 8:11 pm

    it never ceases to amaze me that all these “christian” men have serious deep rooted issues with women period. what of the man that has sex before marriage? what of men who rape women, regardless of how they are dressed? fk this D.B. to hell and back. too bad his mother didn’t squeeze her legs and choke the sh’t out of his ass when he was being born.

  13. fancypants November 14th, 2014 at 8:23 pm

    Hopefully the pope gets to kick this clown to the curb soon

    • burqa November 14th, 2014 at 8:29 pm

      The Pope is head of the Roman Catholic church, not the Baptists.

      • fancypants November 14th, 2014 at 8:34 pm

        it didn’t read like this idiot was talking about Baptist woman ?

  14. whatthe46 November 14th, 2014 at 8:27 pm

    i would love to hear what a woman sitting in his church opinion is. and if none of them stood up and walked out, they are a bunch of idiots.

  15. burqa November 14th, 2014 at 8:32 pm

    Disgusting.
    One hopes this maroon learns from the reaction he is sure to get.
    The good news is he’s an outlier and is not representative of millions of other Baptists.
    But Alan is not interested in presenting a balanced view of them.
    This guy is not representative of millions of other Baptists any more than he is representative of millions of other Californians.

    • Anomaly 100 November 14th, 2014 at 8:36 pm

      “But Alan is not interested in presenting a balanced view of them.”

      Where did Alan say that this man represents all Baptists? Show me.

    • AAASuperPatriot November 14th, 2014 at 8:41 pm

      In my opinion, Alan is quite “fair and balanced” about Christianity. And, I’m a devout Christian.

      • fahvel November 15th, 2014 at 6:20 am

        waste of time fella – be devout to something tangible like Mac Donalds or KFC or – what the hell, devotion to nothingness is so sad.

    • tracey marie November 14th, 2014 at 9:05 pm

      actually he is, the baptists do demand purity in their women while winking at the boys “antics”.

      • AAASuperPatriot November 14th, 2014 at 9:07 pm

        Not all baptists. I spent part of my youth in a baptist church and I can honestly say that they did not have a double standard regarding premarital sex.

        • tracey marie November 14th, 2014 at 9:13 pm

          How old are you, when was the last time you had to listen to their misogynist nonsense. I have to hear it all the time in Texas

      • rg9rts November 15th, 2014 at 2:18 am

        AHAH!!!! You know……..

  16. AAASuperPatriot November 14th, 2014 at 8:40 pm

    My guess is that the Reverend calls his wife a “dirty dishrag” again and again just before he….

    well, you get the idea.

  17. allison1050 November 14th, 2014 at 8:41 pm

    Sooo, how does he refer to boys and unmarried men who have sex before marriage…dirty dish towels?

    • AAASuperPatriot November 14th, 2014 at 8:42 pm

      Good point. This is just more sexism, isn’t it?

      • allison1050 November 14th, 2014 at 8:43 pm

        In a word..yep. 😉

    • edmeyer_able November 14th, 2014 at 8:53 pm

      Well if the women are dishrags we must be the dirty plates, I’ve always thought of myself as a turkey platter though.

      • allison1050 November 14th, 2014 at 9:14 pm

        You old dirty plate you! ;o))

      • allison1050 November 14th, 2014 at 10:15 pm

        lol

  18. AAASuperPatriot November 14th, 2014 at 9:02 pm

    Alan is very fair to Christianity. IMHO, he has some of the best Christian guests on his show.

    But he does one thing that bugs me — he often asks Christian scholars, “Did Jesus really exist?”

    I’m embarrassed for him! No informed person would ask such a question.

    Don’t get me wrong — it’s perfectly reasonable to ask if the biblical claims about Jesus are true. But, there is not reasonable doubt that Jesus existed.

    • Ember1 November 14th, 2014 at 11:45 pm

      There is plenty of reasonable doubt. Mostly because the only evidence for him is the Bible and similar works (“gnostic gospels” and such–later religious works.). Not a scrap of evidence elsewhere. Including in places you would expect to find some mention. Not evidence he didn’t exist, but it makes the doubt quite reasonable.

    • Dwendt44 November 14th, 2014 at 11:49 pm

      So true. The man did exist. Jeshua ( Jesus’s real name) was relatively common name back then, so he wasn’t the only one even then.

    • fahvel November 15th, 2014 at 6:17 am

      and you draw this conclusion from which scholarly source? Ya see, when you, in your innocense want to accept this idea of a real jesus, regardless of his talents, your desperation for something, anything, to cling to becomes apparent and you lose stature.

    • Hass November 15th, 2014 at 6:32 am

      Sorry mate but there’s no shred of evidence that such a man existed at all.

    • allison1050 November 15th, 2014 at 9:26 am

      Really!

  19. AAASuperPatriot November 14th, 2014 at 9:12 pm

    Once again, a conservatives reveals his medieval view of women as commodities to be owned.

    This mindset is behind the “used goods” view of single women who have had sex.

    • allison1050 November 14th, 2014 at 9:21 pm

      Thinking like is the American version of Muslim religious fanatics. To think that too many Americans like to believe that American women have it so much better when indeed they don’t.

    • rg9rts November 15th, 2014 at 2:24 am

      Rule of thumb

  20. Foundryman November 14th, 2014 at 10:21 pm

    The republicans just elected at least a half dozen of these like minded holy rollers around the country….nice huh?

    • allison1050 November 14th, 2014 at 10:23 pm

      Frightening actually.

      • rg9rts November 15th, 2014 at 2:14 am

        Texas has an abundance of them

  21. Cristina Bonuso November 14th, 2014 at 10:36 pm

    Another flawed man who can’t control his sexual urges if he sees a woman’s legs??? It really is amazing how weak men are that they require women to cover every inch of their skin…is this their rationale for raping women?

    • Ravensinger November 15th, 2014 at 4:39 pm

      Yes. Because men like him are such weak pieces of shit that they project their lack of self-control and self-discipline into the handiest targets around: the women their Book tells them are “unclean.”

  22. annafeehly November 14th, 2014 at 10:58 pm

    Perhaps. But why aren’t you saying anything bad about the men who are partners. How come they’re not filthy dishrags.

  23. Dave Lanson November 14th, 2014 at 11:45 pm

    I bet he thinks men who have sex before marriage are manly studs who need sex to power their innate superiority to women.

  24. Dwendt44 November 14th, 2014 at 11:56 pm

    One wonders IF he can verify that his wife was chaste on his wedding night.

  27. Laurie Neufeld November 15th, 2014 at 2:26 am

    Well, I’m betting any woman who ever had sex with him would feel dirty afterwards and want to get clean ASAP…

      eww

  28. Tommy6860 November 15th, 2014 at 4:41 am

    So, unless women screw this misogynist, they are unclean. What’s sad, is that this asshole, through his beliefs, can screw as many women as he pleases until he thinks he’s found the cleanliness of his beliefs. #PenisPrivilege #HowManyOrgasmsDoesItTake?

    • cecilia November 15th, 2014 at 11:46 pm

      trust me, no one with taste is looking at this fat pig and thinking, “i wanna piece of THAT!”

  29. fahvel November 15th, 2014 at 6:13 am

    how can a woman, any woman, consider this thing a person – if the ladies are dish rags – this piece of crap is well used toilet paper from an under an overpass community. utterly revolting.

  30. Jeffrey Samuels November 15th, 2014 at 11:08 am

    what about the good Christian boys that have sex with all these ‘dishrags’? Last I heard, it takes two.

    Sir, filthy dirt rags are not a good course of contraception prevention. Have you ever heard of condoms?
