BRAZIL ISSUE EXTRA - MEGA EVENTS WITH GOD GOD GOD

In case today's featured story (an

all-Kern fashion shoot

on the beach, you know what that means) titwashes your mind, erasing all memories of Brazil's confederacy of the righteous and pious, here's some follow-up with those consecrated children who heal on behalf of Jesus…

Alex Silva is one of the

mini preachers we talked to

in our Brazil Issue about his intimate connection to God. At first he was really fussy about sending us any pictures of him and his enlightening shows, but over time, he started sending us more and more stuff. Tons of stuff, actually. Pictures and invitations to his Jesus parties have been popping up in our inboxes ever since…

He sent us this flyer to one of the parties, where he claims that "God descends onto earth to speak through me." The preacher events seem to fascinate Alex's followers and fans as much as modern exorcism. That flyer up there says something about compulsory attendance and that Robson Nascimento will perform a live show. He's pretty much the Brazilian version of Seal. It happened yesterday, but don't worry, as long as you can spend about a grand on a concert/communion with the Lord, another one's always right around the corner.

One thing we really don't get--isn't it rude to point at God?
