The Smear Sermon That Backfired

Rodney King Stephens: The Imaginary Beating of a Lifetime
August 8, 2025Mark has been hard at work on Facebook again, posting his unique brand of inspirational content — the kind that sounds almost profound until you remember it’s coming from the same man who treats court orders like junk mail and spelling like interpretive art.



This week’s gems include:
- “Dad’s you are not sline stay strong”
- “Respect, honesty, sincere intentions — the truest treasures”
- “It’s an uphill battle to be a father”
Let’s pause on “sline.” It’s not in the dictionary, but in Marklish it could mean:
- A rare mineral mined from the depths of Facebook comment sections.
- The mysterious adhesive holding his logic together.
- Or maybe, just maybe, it was supposed to be “alone” — but somewhere between his brain and his thumbs, the English language filed for a restraining order.
Respect?
Mark claims it’s one of life’s “truest treasures.” Yet this is the same man who called his severely underweight, medically fragile son obese while he was on a feeding tube. And when it comes to “respect” for family? That’s where it gets rich.
He doesn’t just erase the boys’ mother and stepfather from the narrative — he casts us as the villains in his personal screenplay. We’re the nameless, faceless antagonists in the Mark Saves the Day saga. And in the rare cases we do appear in his world, it’s because he’s physically erased us from stolen family photos — cropping, cutting, or scribbling over us like we’re outdated price tags.
Respect, in Marklish, means: “Delete you from the picture, then rewrite the story so I’m the hero.”
Honesty?
Three different fake stories in one day about how he got a missing little girl’s baseball cap. — all of them equally untrue. Add to that the years of “I’m fighting for my kids” while ignoring the actual court-ordered checklist to see them again. The same checklist he’s taken not one single step toward completing.
When Mark talks about honesty, what he really means is: “My version of events — even if I have to invent the events.”
Sincere Intentions?
Picture this: a kids’ basketball game. Parents, coaches, grandparents, all there to watch. And then there’s Mark, laughing and filming while his buddy — the one he calls “Nathan’s uncle” but nobody knows — shouts “F*** Joe Biden!” and other political obscenities at the players.
Most people would shut it down. Mark turned it into a highlight reel. Sincere intentions? Only if the goal was to embarrass his son and clear out half the gym.
The Uphill Battle
Mark describes fatherhood like he’s climbing Everest. But here’s the plot twist: the “hill” isn’t natural. He built it himself — brick by brick out of no-contact orders, ignored domestic violence assessments, sabotaged medical care, and years of contempt for court authority. Then he coated it in “sline,” so every time he tries to climb, he slides right back into the comments section to post another meme about being misunderstood.
The Punchline
Every post about “respect” is paired with acts that scream disrespect. Every declaration of “honesty” is wrapped in multiple versions of the truth. Every photo meant to prove his connection to the kids is stolen, cropped, or edited to erase the people actually raising them.
He’s not erasing us from the story — he’s starring us as the villains and editing the footage so the audience never sees what really happened. And the funniest part? He genuinely seems to think no one notices.
So yes, Mark, stay “sline.” Stay strong. Because every time you post, the hill you built gets a little higher — and the internet’s memory gets a little longer.
| Marklish Word/Phrase | Literal Translation | Actual Meaning in Context | Usage Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sline | Probably meant “alone” | A mysterious, sticky substance made from typos and self-pity that coats the hill he built for himself, ensuring he slides back down after every inspirational post. | Marklish: “Dad’s you are not sline stay strong.”Translation: “I meant alone, but spelling is for people without persecution complexes.” |
| Respect | Admiration for others | Erasing the boys’ mother and stepfather from stolen photos, cropping them out of the story, and recasting them as villains so he can play the hero. | Marklish: “Respect is one of the truest treasures.”Translation: “Unless you’re in a photo I want — then you’re gone.” |
| Honesty | Truthfulness | Creating multiple, conflicting stories about a single event and picking whichever one makes him look least at fault that day. | Marklish: “I’m an honest man.”Translation: “Today’s version is the truth until I need a new one.” |
| Sincere Intentions | Genuine good will | Bringing chaos to children’s sporting events, filming it, laughing, and calling it “parenting.” | Marklish: “My intentions are pure.”Translation: “I sincerely intended to make a scene.” |
| Uphill Battle | A hard struggle | A landscape entirely of his own making, built from no-contact orders, contempt filings, and sabotaged medical care — then complaining that climbing it is unfair. | Marklish: “It’s an uphill battle to be a father.”Translation: “I built this hill with my own bad decisions and now I’m upset it’s steep.” |
| Fighting for my kids | Advocating for your children | Avoiding every single court-ordered step to regain contact while posting memes about being kept away. | Marklish: “I’m fighting for my kids.”Translation: “By fighting every doctor, court, and fact that could help me see them.” |
| Erased from the narrative | Removed from a story | Physically cutting people out of photos and replacing reality with his personal victim screenplay. | Marklish: “They erased me from the boys’ lives.”Translation: “I literally erased them from pictures I stole.” |
| God’s Will | Divine plan | Whatever he was already going to do before checking if it was legal, moral, or remotely sane. | Marklish: “It’s God’s will.”Translation: “I was going to do this anyway, but now it’s holy.” |
| Stay the Course | Keep going on the same path | Continuing to post, lie, and avoid all accountability while expecting a different outcome. | Marklish: “I will stay the course.”Translation: “I will keep circling the drain with conviction.” |
Sincere. Respect. Honesty. Fighting for my kids.
Coming from Mark, those words are like luxury cars being driven straight off the lot and into a sewage pond. — technically still the same vehicle, but now they reek, they’re sinking fast, and no one in their right mind would get inside.
The way he uses them isn’t aspirational; it’s performance art in hypocrisy. “Sincere” becomes scheming with a camera in the stands. “Respect” means cropping you out of a family photo you posted. “Honesty” is picking whichever lie sounds most flattering that day. And “Fighting for my kids” translates directly to fighting anyone who might actually help them.
If there’s any divine justice left, God should treat those words in Mark’s mouth like a smoke alarm treats burnt toast — loud, immediate, and impossible to ignore. Better yet, every time he tries to utter them, a lightning bolt should just hit send for him: Post blocked for excessive bullsh*t.
Does Mark actually think that flooding the market with his Greatest Hits — Cheating Wife, Alienated Father, Bitter Baby Momma, The System Is Geared Against Men — makes him more credible?
Because all it really does is turn his Facebook feed into a QVC channel for victimhood. Same four products, just presented in different colors, angles, and lighting. He’s convinced that if he keeps hitting “replay,” the repetition will somehow turn his accusations into facts. In reality, it’s like a con artist thinking, “If I sell enough fake Rolexes, eventually they’ll be real.”
This isn’t credibility-building — it’s credibility foreclosure. Every time he runs the cycle again, the audience gets smaller, the eye-rolls get bigger, and the resale value on his sob story drops another 20%. At this point, even Facebook’s algorithm is probably begging him to diversify his lies.
The irony? He’s not flooding the market to win over new believers — he’s drowning the few he still has left.
