Isaac Simmons, a United Methodist Church candidate for ordination and associate pastor at Hope UMC in Bloomington, Illinois, recently spewed blasphemy in a new slam poem dedicated to the LGBTQ+ movement. The drag queen pastor who goes by the stage name, Ms. Penny Cost, declared over and over again that “God is nothing,” “the Bible is nothing,” and “religion is nothing” in the profanity-laced video posted on his website. Despite his clear denial of the basic tenets of Christianity, the United Methodist Church has certified Simmons as a candidate for ministry.
