Bad Teachers Produce Ignorant Students
It seems plausible that ignorant students are the result of terrible teachers. Recently, a prominent political figure in my home State was invited to speak at a high school. The politician is an outspoken Christian which is problematic for terrible people including those who happen to be teachers. Several teachers stepped up to educate me […]
Don’t You Dare Say Anything Bad About Divorce!!!
Russell Moore said, “While divorce is sometimes necessary, it is never good,” and that was the cue for a horde of divorced Christian women to defend the dissolution of families. Because a lot of people heard that and went, “Never good? Excuse me, have you met my husband? Divorce was the most spirit-led thing I’ve […]
Where Jesus Was From That Matters
Jesus told us who he was and didn’t mention his ethnicity. Fortunately, there are some noisy church attendees who aren’t afraid to use racism to speak with boldness about things the Bible doesn’t tell us. On easter, a guy in a robe who stands behind a pulpit said, “Jesus was a brown-skinned man from northeast […]
When Sponges Write Blogs
A man who presents himself as a spiritual guide recently posted the following, both quotes nestled together in a single offering: “I was not scandalized by Trump. I was scandalized by the Christian leaders who were not scandalized by him.” ~ Beth Moore And then, without so much as a seatbelt: “Everyone is screwed up, […]
Fear The System of Fear
According to a guy who made a video, there is a ‘System’ engineered to foster fear. The system makes me (and you) afraid of everything. The System is why we scream at each other about what the system even is. Democrats insist Republicans are the System. Republicans insist Democrats are the System. The guy making […]
Afraid of Being Afraid
Jim Breuer recently said, “If a system survives by keeping everyone afraid… maybe it’s the system that needs to go.” Apparently there is a “system” somewhere that is responsible for my fear. An invisible, undefined, all-powerful system that directly manipulates my anxiety. Which is terrifying! But what’s really giving me ulcers is the suggestion that […]
James Talarico Is Like Every Other Politician
James Talarico is a politician who said this: “I believe Christianity points to the truth. I also think other religions of love point to the same truth… Jesus Christ reveals that reality to us, but I also think other traditions reveal that reality in their own ways. I’ve learned more about my tradition by learning […]
Listen To Both Sides Then Believe Any Crazy Thing
Here’s the secret to making people think you’re smart: Tell them you listen to every side of an argument. I always listen to every side of an argument. I mention this constantly so you’ll know I’m open-minded. I’ve heard both sides, which means I completely understand every aspect of the topic. I am omniscient. You […]
Loathe Thy Neighbor
John Pavlovitz produced a video series entitled “Loathe Thy Neighbor,” to warn us about the menace known as MAGA. While Americans are earning paychecks, owning property, speaking freely, and practicing our chosen religion, we’re unaware that our lives are ruined! John is going to set us straight! I feel bad for JP. He used to […]
May The Dumbest One Win
Gavin Newsom recently revealed his low SAT score in an effort to appear relatable. Nothing says “I understand the average American” like academic mediocrity. I truly hope this becomes a trend. It would make elections wildly entertaining. Instead of boring arguments about policy, candidates would compete to be the dumbest. “I ate paste in Kindergarten […]
