Beware of People Who ONLY Worry About Church People
I suggested that a predator is a person who is super-interested in making sure your children know about sex. There were a lot of responses in the comment section that were along the lines of, “John, you jerk! Predators want children to be ignorant so they can prey on their innocence! The CLERGY EXPLOITS UNEDUCATED […]
We Are Woke and They Hate Us For It
As soon as it became common knowledge what it means to be ‘woke,’ the woke crowd started working overtime to change that meaning. For many years, ‘woke’ was understood as the past participle of ‘wake’ and we were content with that definition. We didn’t need it to mean ‘well informed’, ‘thoughtful’, ‘humble’, or ‘kind’, because…we […]
To Those Who Drop Anvils
Some kids shouldn’t be allowed to watch Bugs Bunny. This isn’t a popular take but if I was primarily motivated by the desire to be popular, I’d just share memes like this one without commentary. Any kid who can’t understand that Bugs Bunny is not real, should not be watching cartoons. It won’t cause the […]
Time To Stop Sending Your Kids to The Neighbor’s House
You went to the neighbors house when you were a kid. They shared the same values as your parents so you were safe at their house. You learned a lot of important things over at their house. Now that you’re grown-up and have some kids of your own, you’re sending your kids to the neighbors […]
Brainwash Your Kids
So, you’re afraid someone might accuse you of brainwashing your kid. You’re terrified that passing your theology to your progeny might get you scolded by some anonymous Facebook troll. You’re worried that somebody might tell you that indoctrinating your kid with religion is child abuse. Well, you live in a culture full of nitwits so […]
Never Trust My Feelings
There is nothing cynical in the phrase, “Character is what you do when nobody is watching.” Talk is cheap and saying that doesn’t make me a pessimist. There is nothing cynical in the phrase, “Anxious to see how the ‘revived’ Christians live after the services end and the news crews leave.” Faith without works is […]
He Sure Does Get Us
Some anonymous Christian people launched a multi-million dollar ad campaign to boost Jesus’ popularity among young people. The campaign theme is, “He gets us.” You may have seen the Superbowl ads or a billboard or social media post. If you haven’t seen it yet, you will. The campaign is being criticized by progressive Christians because […]
Putting Words In God’s Mouth
One of the church’s most effective methods of growing rotten fruit has been our (and by ‘our’’ I mean ‘your’) relentless efforts to pervert the message of scripture. We have a bumper crop of Christians who believe it is right (and good) to throw out everything in the bible that isn’t written in red letters. […]
How To Traumatize A Girl Scout
Have you ever mentioned to a little girl that cookies are not on your diet? You narcissist! You overwhelmed that innocent child. What in the world were you thinking?! Girls are not emotionally stable enough to deal with small talk about the nutritional value of cookies. Girls do not have the capacity to understand hyperbole […]
Turns Out I Was Right
Shout out to Stephen King (and Main Street Democrats) for proving that I was right. There really are people who do NOT believe children should be protected from ANY literature. A lot of commenters assured me that I was ‘making up stuff to be upset about.’ They said, “John, you jerk! Nobody thinks kids should […]
