Ever so often, one of the major news websites post a really obscure and random news article. This is the epitome of such. 
According to the article, a fellow who goes by the name “god” was arrested outside a church…selling cocaine. The mans full name is “god Lucky Howard,” and was apparently under close watch for many months prior to his actual arrest. When they searched his home after the arrest, the police found more cocaine, 22 grams to be exact. He is now being held on a bond of $86,500.
So what can we take from this blog? god is a black cocaine dealer who makes money out of those who attend church or lurk near church grounds.
