Mega-churches may not be common outside of the bible belt, but for the 30 million-plus evangelicals in this country, a couple thousand acolytes praying nearby is nothing special.

But big trees fall hard, and Atlanta mega-church pastor Bishop Eddie Long had to handle allegations of sexual abuse towards teenage church members over years. His wife filed for divorce in December, yet this month his return brought cheers.

Visiting speaker Ralph Messer claimed, "He's a king. God's blessed him. He's a humble man. But in him is kingship. In him is royalty, In him was a land of Israel. In him was a k chromosome...he was brought through the slaves, raised up in a city and God now wants to release a new anointing."

Things sure work in mysterious ways.

What do ya think?
