Yet another dubious entry from my Google Ads.
From the website:

Wouldn’t It Be Incredible To Have The Formula to Pray and Get Answers – REAL Answers? Everytime!


The Outrageous Mastery Manuscripts
Are Your Blueprint to Your Divine Power
that will
Rock Your World

I want to disclose to you:

• How you acquire doubt-free & powerful faith
• How to create money
• How to blast through limitations, fear and worry
• How to heal illnesses
• How to hear answers to “your” prayer
• How to pray effectively
• How to create daily miracles
• How to create outrageous love in your life







Okay, here’s one that has popped up recently in my ever increasingly unendorsed google ads:



from the website:

Pray to St. Jude

When you send your prayers and petitions to the National Shrine of St. Jude, they are incorporated into the Masses, prayers, and good works of the Claretians in Chicago at the National Shrine of St. Jude, and in more than 60 countries around the world. You will be joining a community of more than 700,000 people who share our devotion to St. Jude.

from Marc: Why would anyone who knows Jesus pray to a Saint?







Bob Larson is well known for his expertise on cults and also for performing exorcisms. What do you think, is this guy for real or is it a sham? Anyone here ever been to, done, or experienced an exorcism?







I’m adding a new category, basically its stuff I find advertised in my Google Ads:

The Buzz
"Purgatorio is sheer genius. I'm seriously considering giving it a place in my "Stellar" category."
Pyromaniac

"Stellar"
Pyromaniacs

"With tens of thousands of new blogs beginning every day, it is rare that one comes along that is very different from the rest. Purgatorio is different. Very different. Short on text but long on photo essays, this site is a fascinating glimpse into the trends and fads within Evangelicalism (and occasionally beyond)"
Challies Dot Com

"Purgatorio - Marc Heinrich's blog is only a few months old and today he got more hits than I did. His "you might be emerging if . . . post" that i mentioned last week is already legendary. Challies made him King For a Week, and I am making him Skinny for a Week... Anyway . . . congrats Marc on your excellent blog. Love all the images! Now go and overtake Mark D. Roberts. And after him, set your sites on HughHewitt.com"
Tall Skinny Kiwi

"Marc. We usually read your post daily for some great laughs."
FIDE-O

"If you've never visited Purgatorio, it's time. The guy's got a sense of humor that won't stop.
Jesus Creed Scot McKnight

"I just added Purgatorio to my blogroll, for good reason. Marc Heinrich is a witty Christian Hedonist (from Minnesota, surprisingly) who blogs entirely through the medium of pictures. More importantly, he also likes Radiohead. Go check it out - it's not the usual fare in biblio-blogging and it's worth your time. Express enough interest, and maybe he'll invite you to stay at his house."
Soylent Green

"Marc,You are an instigator, aren't you? That is one reason why PURGATORIO is great!"
Rose's Reasonings

"Usually pot-shot takers aren't ecumenical enough for my taste (or funny enough), but this site is exceptionally funny and not so mean spirited."
A List of List's

"There are very few Christian bloggers that are consistently able to write funny posts. Marc Heinrich is not one of them. He is able to be consistently funny while writing almost nothing. And that is why his blog is one of my favorites."
Christian Survey

"I'm chocking over here - I will just come right out and say it. What???? I visited and that blob/site is garbage. My soul within me is burning. Are you guys serious?????? ...c'mon, what is this blog. I'm disgusted.
Redeemed

"My favorite place for funny or weird photos that say more about people than words can."
Off the Main Road

"One of the truly unique efforts in the Christian blogosphere"
Sharper Iron

"Be perjoritive if you like. I beleive you will see that my readers will discern which of us is a 'kook'. I'm not the fundie here... Your comments prove my point, Big Time."
Reformed Catholic Pentacostal

"I really should Rule 40 this blog, but these kinds of posts can't be found elsewhere"
The Boar's Head Tavern - iMonk

"I'd like to point out that marc is somewhat delusional from searching the internet for images that he thinks are related. It's kinda like the episode of Voyager where Seven links her alcove into the ship's sensor logs and becomes hyper-paranoid about the intentions of the crew and ultimately pits Janeway against Chakotay even though both conspiracy theories cannot be true."
...and His Minister's a Flame of Fire


Klingon Verse of the Day
