Evangelist Tony Alamo, owner of a multi-million dollar “church” that sold elaborate clothing to celebrities such as Michael Jackson, has been convicted of a series of disgusting crimes involving sex with girls as young as 9 years old. Five women testified at his trial that Alamo transported them across state lines to have sex with them when they were young girls. Alamo will probably end up spending the rest of his life in prison — and he’s comparing himself to Jesus.

Alamo, whose actual name is Bernie Hoffman, called the accusations a hoax in a phone interview with CNN and denied any type of wrongdoing. “They’re just trying to make our church look evil … by saying I’m a pornographer. Saying that I rape little children … I love children. I don’t abuse them. Never have. Never will,” said Alamo.

During the interview he was asked why authorities were searching his property and he responded, “Why were they after Jesus? It’s the same reason. Jesus is living within me.”

I feel it's better to sing about these things ourselves and perform them with the people who it happened to than to have some journalist one day say 'then in 1971, one time when they were at the mudshark hotel...' But people have problems with things of a glandular nature in connection with things of a musical nature. They say why, music is way up here, and glands are way down there and they can't get 'em together, but then they are hypocritical because they take a band that doesn't sing about such things directly and couches their language a little and does it with a little choreography and say that that's great and that's real rock and roll. I maintain that there's no difference, we're just honest enough to get up and say 'this is this and that's that and here you are and respond to it' and the response is 'why... I'm hip, but of course I am offended'.
