Candid View: Sherri Shepherd Talks Religion, Abortion & Weight Loss

Posted: 7/21/08 at 7:44pm

"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,'" she declared. "I ask the Lord, 'Why am I here?' I have to trust God when He says, 'Because I said so.'"

This is one of those times when I really miss Namo.
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Are you checking out those comments at the bottom?


Wait on second thought...don't.

I was glad I checked them, because a few comments confirmed my first thought, which was "Jehovah's Witnesses ARE Christians (albeit even more wacky than the regular kind)."

I love when women have multiple abortions and then become pro-life.

My favorite comment went something like, "Sherri, Jesus loves you even though you are a serial killer and fornicator".

Now, I'm wondering how high she can count.


Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Remember that Star what's her name (not Jones) that guest hosted here and there? She had a handful of abortions, too, before she decided other women shouldn't have that same right. She must have had that many to really make an informed decision.

She was on The View today doing some damage control.

She basically said it was a joke and apologized to Barbara if she offended her. She also said that the abortion comment was not fully quoted, so it made her look flippant about abortions.

I have to agree with her that print is VERY misleading and often times the reporter/writer chooses what bits to leave in and take out. In this case, I think she got very comfortable and thought her "Christian sister" who interviewed her would have her back and not skew the article for publicity... WRONG.

I still stand on my position that she is BAT-SH*T CRAZY (for Jesus - amen), and obviously not the brightest bulb.

Well like my theatre friends say, there's nothing worse than dealing with a bunch of Christians.

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)
