Stephen Baldwin Is Broke! Donate Now!

Bankrupt star needs our help, website contends

(Newser) – Stephen Baldwin—the Baldwin brother whose, er, hefty résumé includes playing Barney Rubble in The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas—is bankrupt. He’s also a born-again Christian. And because of that, his supporters have come up with an innovative way to restore him to his former glory: We should all give him some money. And if we do, he will be “publicly restored in front of millions, and God will get all the glory.”

Gawker points to the Restore Stephen Baldwin website and a helpful video explaining the project—and comparing Baldwin to Biblical hero Job, “the most influential man in the East.” Just like Job, Baldwin lost everything due to his beliefs (or to the fact that he can’t act—you decide), and has been “publicly ridiculed and insulted.” But if we donate just a token amount, the way Job’s friends did, it will all turn around for him.

Help Stephen Baldwin return to the lifestyle he once enjoyed.

My family is really struggling right now but I don't have people rallying around us to bail us out.
We have a 2-year old son and I recently fell and busted my ankle, had to have major surgery, have no insurance to pay all my bills. I had to practically beg my Christian friends to come in and help out a couple of hours a day. The Christian life is not a walk on the yellow brick road. HIS word tells us that we are going to go through trials in this life. God has blessed Stephen Baldwin with so much more than most of us will ever know and Stephen has not proved himself to be a good stewart of HIS blessing.

Oh I love it! So what is the complaint? That he didn't get work because of his public evangelizing? Good! The world is better off without the bleating of these religious fundamentalists anyway. Here's a thought, Stephen, get a job, just like the rest of us. I'm sure you knew your income was dipping long before you ran out of money. You should have saved or reduced your expenses. Hmm, not really a good example of 'prudence', a supposedly Chrisitian virtue.
