Sherri Shepard, you know, one of the really annoying people on The View, recently shared a bit about her checkered past. Here’s what she had to say:

“Before I converted to Christianity, I was a Jehovah’s Witness. In 1993, my mother was dying from diabetic complications. My sister was heavy into drugs, and we would have to go and get her from crack houses. I was in a very physically abusive relationship. I was sleeping with a lot of guys and had more abortions than I would like to count. I had very low self-esteem and just wanted to die. I felt if someone killed me, it wouldn’t even make a difference. But God showed me that it would make a difference.”

Okay, I can respect that. But here’s where she loses me:

“Oh sometimes I say, ‘Lord, Juanita Bynum or Joyce Myers would be so good at this table. They could lay hands on Barbara Walters and get her saved. I ask the Lord, ‘Why am I here?’ I have to trust God when He says, ‘Because I said so.’” - source

Oh, you mean THIS Juanita Bynum? Huh. Anyway, I have a hard time when Christians check their brains at the door and justify their stupidity (see above) with the catchall “because God said so”. Apparently, God is in the habit of letting idiots blame them for all their mistakes.
