I'm no Christian, I'll proudly say that, though honestly, it's of little matter to me what anyone's faith is. I think if they put that music up for people who didn't use religion like these two, then I'd wonder just what the heck they were doing. I'm not a Christian, but trust me, I have the right to be offended along with the rest of you when Christianity is mocked openly. I truly think they music is making fun of the girls and the rather odd way they are going about it.

I will say again that Dick isn't so bad that a faithful person needs to act like this. The others in the house are generally just sitting there and listening to him as he rants on them. These two girls take it to a whole other level. When you start taking your religion too seriously you start acting like an idiot. Why does this need to be such a controversial concept. This is the US where we learned a long time ago to keep religion (or the lack thereof) to yourself.

"dick isn't so bad"
these girls are young and immature. if they were raised in a loving christian home, with a loving church family they have probably never met any one lke dick. i know i never did and im 65 yrs old. i hope to never meet anyone as vile as he is.

i was also a psyc nurse for 35 yrs. dealing with a LOT of behaviors. as for being a christian i am proud to say i am. Jesus said " let he who is withot sin cast the first stone" i am not throwing stones just saying his behavior is evil and he thinks so too or he would not where the moniker ED.

Some of the most faithful of Christians were at one point, probably worse than Dick.

I'm thinking Saul was pretty vile before He met God.

Nala, jmo, but I think with Amber's background she's know plenty of people like Dick. Dope freaks will do whatever they have to do to get their fix. Lie, steal, cheat and yeah, even kill. In my experience, meth heads, speed freaks, crack heads are some of the worst for the me-first-and-only attitude. I think if Amber's story is true and she's only been clean 3-6-9-12 months she should not be in the house. She's too new to sobriety. She may be just as new in her faith, leading her to think God is a big candy store and she gets what she asks for.
Jameka, being a school counselor, should be familiar with people like Dick. Again, I think she is what's termed a "babe in Christ" and is still growing and learning.
As a Christian, I'm watching this thinking they are not very good representations of Christianity, and hear sarcasm when I hear the organ music.

I am a Christian and I also felt the music was mocking the girls, not the religion. As someone said earlier, I too have noticed the girls praying for God to help them win, but I have yet to hear them praying and giving thanks for the good things they have. It is also a very big turn off to me for someone to profess to being a "GOOD CHRISTIAN" and then talking smack behind someones back.

I refuse to think of Jameka or Amber as christain behaving women. It's bad enough to have Dick's behavior run the house for so many weeks but to bring God into this mess is worse. Jameka,s public praying and quoting scripture is a play for camera time. Amber is simply a very troubled person and should have never passed the BB entry tests. Dick is personally, I believe, been hand picked to get the viewers.

Nala maybe he goes by Evel Dick because he has heard he is evil his whole life. So he embraced it.
I'll tell you one thing for sure and that is Dick knows the Bible better than either Jameka or Amber, that is what offended Jameka to begin with that this tattooed man with the mouth dared to try and correct her inaccuracy.

psyc nurse or not YOU can not make any diagnosis from watching him in a artificial environment anymore than a nurse who has spent her career treating cancer patients could diagnose someone with cancer from watching them in a house.

I don't mind that they are playing an organ, but I wish that they had a top-notch organist playing some Bach or something rather than that dismal sounding stuff!

Nala...hats off to you. I totally respect nurses and all that they do. It truly is one of those professions which can not be rewarded enough. And to be a psych nurse, you deserve many kuddos.

Now I believe that you may have seen it all and dealt with it all, but I think we must leave the diagnosing of mental conditions to the doctors. And I do believe that any MD would not diagnose a patient over the internet...at least I seriously hope not.

Again hun...I totally respect you and your profession...Thank you!!!!

I don't think behaviors are evil....it's intent that is evil.

I would hate to think all psych patients with poor social skills are evil.

When I saw the name Evel Dick...I didn't think evil. I thot Evel Kaneaval.

Evels son Vincent stated that Evel got his name from Evel Knievel...hence the spelling EVEL!

How do you know 'for sure' that Dick knows the Bible better than Jameka?

I doubt that Jameka has any prejudice regarding Dick's tatooes given that nice one on her own arm.

I listened to Dick try and have a discussion with Jameka and Carol. Trust me he knows his Bible. Could
help him that mom is a minister. Even Jameka admitted Dick knew the Bible better than she did but that he didn't live it.

I think some public praying has its place. Elders in my church pray out loud just before we take weekly communion. The congregation repeats the Lord's prayer in unison. I am turned off by the way Jameka and Amber pray. The organ music didn't offend me. I don't know what BB's intent was. I took it as harmless background music. I don't care if a person is a Christian or non-Christian when I interact with them. I cannot see any obvious differences. Sometimes I am glad I that I am not wearing the one sweat shirt I own with my church's logo on it. I would give my church a bad name.

Kearie, I agree with your 7:38 post.

It does bother me that BB is making fun of what is clearly an emotional moment for the two girls. They see the BB house as real. So, they don't see their prayers as silly, as BB is making it seem. I'm not offended as much as embarrassed for them.
