Another Reason to Love Matt Walsh
I know. Matt Walsh upsets you. But put your outrage aside for a moment and read his latest column on the vapidity of super-hero movies. It contains one of the funniest things I’ve read in months. Ten thousand years from now, as the next installment of the Avengers saga is released to the screens we […]
The Gift Nobody Wanted
The debate rages on about the “reason for the season” at Christmas. This year, The Church of The Perpetually Offended is banning everything from nativity scenes to creepy songs about weather related entrapment schemes. This is what happens when outrage isn’t organized properly. You’ll end up missing the most offensive thing about Christmas. Jesus! The […]
Podcast! Baby It’s Cold!
The first 15 minutes is me explaining why the podcast is late (sort of) and talking about how I don’t have anything against Lauren Daigle. Then I hug David Pendleton for a really long time. Robert G. Lee joins us and we discuss banned Christmas songs and the racism of Veggie Tales. It’s a good […]
The Church With The Loudest Pastor
Imagine thousands of people standing around drinking coffee and talking sports. A dude stands up on a box and starts preaching a sermon about how Christianity is inclusive and tolerant. A hundred yards away, another dude grabs a megaphone, stands up on a ladder and yells over him. “Love wins!” An eager group of believers […]
Just Stop Can’t Evening
Sometimes people say crazy things. “We should allow cats to vote in national elections!” Depending on what’s been said, it may be important to challenge the statement. “That’s not a good idea because cats are anarchists.” Notice the response contains an explanation. This enables the first person to continue the conversation. “Not true! Millions of […]
Yes. Christians Are Better Than Everyone Else.
I’m going to say this as clearly as I know how. Christianity makes people better. “What?!! Are you saying Christians are better than other people?!!!” Yes. Emphatically, explicitly, and unwaveringly – YES. As you’re lining-up to scold me for being conceited, I’ll explain myself. The last thing Jesus said to his disciples was, “Get out […]
Gimme That No Comment Religion!
Lauren Daigle (who I’ve been told is a popular Christian artist) gave some theology during an interview. She was asked, “Do you feel that homosexuality is a sin?” This is an easy one! No possible way to be wrong! The popular Christian artist replied: “I can’t honestly answer on that. In a sense, I have […]
There Is No War On Christmas
Calm down. Everything is going to be okay. The clerk at the grocery store said, “Happy holidays!” That’s not persecution. Just say, “Thanks! Same to you!” The courthouse doesn’t have a nativity on the lawn. Just put one up at your house. (The traditional nativity isn’t historically accurate anyway.) Why do you care how they […]
Podcast – Jealousy and Melted Purity Rings
http://traffic.libsyn.com/branyancomedy/EP118_Crying_Mothers_Melted_Purity_Rings_and_Jealousy.mp3 This week’s podcast posted early because I am clumsy with the podcast publishing system and forgot to set the publishing date for Monday. This is a discussion about melted purity rings and the effects of jealousy on Old Testament kings and modern day non-royals. There’s a couple of videos to supplement the audio this […]
Go Into The World and Make Salesmen
Do you like it when people come to your door to try and sell you stuff? I don’t. I’ve been known to hide when anyone with a clipboard or briefcase shows up on my porch. I’m not proud of it, but it’s true. Once, I laid on the floor of my living room waiting for […]
