This video is great! Thanks for the laughter, John! I’ll be thinking of this every time I hear someone complain about their experience with Christianity and how it’s not for them.
Hi JB, you asked me a question here: https://shadowtolight.wordpress.com/2019/09/30/ignoring-the-outmoded-2/ and funny how the blog owner isn’t allowing my response to appear, keeping it in moderation. That’s not very honest, is it?
It is not okay for Krauss to cheat on his wife. That comes from my wonderfully subjective morality.
Now, JB, is it okay for a Christian to follow a serial adulterer?
Objectively: It is NOT okay for someone to follow a serial adulterer in the sense that they are copying his serial adultery. Is it okay to follow him in a car on the road or follow him while he demonstrates a new dance routine, for example? Objectively, yes.
Amanda, you are the best to make excuses why you don’t do what your god says. It’s so cute to see you try to ignore my point. But I’ll make it clearer for you so everyone can see how deceitful you are: Amanda, is it okay to support a serial adulterer and make excuses for his adultery?
Nope. It’s not okay to support serial adultery or make excuses for it,
PREDICTION: The Leopard will now thank you for proving subjective morality is true.
Yeah, I don’t how how many times I can say it’s OBJECTIVELY wrong to commit and support serial adultery. 🤷
It’s also objectively wrong to hold someone accountable for a long-past sin for which they have repented. Forgiveness is objectively right. 🙂
Correct.
The disconnect will come from the fact that you AGREED that it’s wrong to support a serial adulterer. She is not capable of grasping your deeper explanation. She thinks adultery is wrong on the basis of her subjective morality and your agreeing that it’s wrong will confirm in her mind that you are also a proponent of subjectivity.
I guarantee it.
…regardless of how many times I use the word “objective.” 🙂
How amusing.
The other blog owner doesn’t appreciate your inane chatter like I do. Your wonderfully subjective morality should inform you that his definition of honesty is just as good as yours.
Your wonderfully subjective morality also make my response to your question irrelevant. If cheating on a spouse is subjectively right or wrong, then there’s nothing wrong with what Krauss did.
Alas, no, JB, since most people know that honesty is not intentionally misleading people.
It’s fun to see you excuse a fellow Christian and to refuse to answer a question put to you when it causes a problem of what you do and what your god supposedly wants you to do. So funny how your morality is evidently as subjective as mine.
FYI: This is why the other guy didn’t release your comments from moderation. It’s also why I will ALWAYS allow you to say whatever’s on your mind. You are a stellar example of atheist futility.
“John Branyan says:
I think it’s adorable the way you humanize Nony. It’s super cute when you act like it’s a person.“
Lol! You gotta make sure you don’t humanize people, especially strangers! That would go against your applied theology and your brand, and that’s not why we come here!
Look at that, Dad! You made him “lol.”
Johnny number five is alive!
This is hilarious and makes a great point. I suppose it will rile up the angry “exes” when they’re exposed rather humorously.
As “Fancy McGuffin” said in the comments, Jesus is okay them just running away. But what I don’t get is why they can’t stop talking about it. They should just move on with their new-found freedom after “outgrowing God.” Me thinks thou doth protest too much.
Who knew the Lutherans were so humorous and satire no less. Where are the church people condemning this? And if there is any dodging it was learned from the pagans who are masters at it.
I don’t care about the “no true Scotsman” fallacy bologna.
I also don’t care what someone who called themselves a Christian and then chucked it VERY publicly, has to say.
They chuck it publicly to try doing maximum damage.
Jokes on them. Jesus isn’t afraid of people who walk away. He lets them go.
This is hysterical and John nailed it again.
Those who don’t like it can…walk away. We won’t stop you.
Run, little unbelievers, run!
This has No true Scotsman fallacy written all over. You can parody the life experiences and history of honest people who have left Christianity if you like, but don’t think it’s an honest rebuttal or refutation at all.

In other words, “This is a bullseye, and I’m offended.” 😂
Bullseye? No. Offended? Yes, but I’m ok. Thx for asking.
Hey Mike!
I gained some perspective last week. I’m more sympathetic to your point of view having experienced first hand the malevolent wrath of church people. It’s astonishing how quickly people dedicated to communicating the love of Jesus will pounce on one of their own who violates their protocol. Several times last week I though, “This is what Mike’s talking about.”
I’m planning to write a blog post outlining some tips for how to leave the church while maintaining unanimous support from church people. I think you’ll find it helpful.
Have a great day!
So cool how you dodged Mike’s point with sarcasm. Nicely done!
Thanks! Ever since Mike tried to intimidate me with a sexually-suggestive comment, he lost the opportunity to be taken seriously. Choose your friends carefully!
I’m so sorry you were the victim of someone speaking hatefully or inappropriately about you. That just have been tough.
Well, I handled it better than a lot of people do…
And I’m so grateful that you’re not one of those people who thinks hateful/inappropriate speech is only wrong when certain people do it. Thanks for being consistent.
It is nice to have the support of anonymous avatars, isn’t it?
Yes–I always feel the need to explain my behavior to nameless, faceless text on a wall. 🙂 So, it’s comforting to know that Anonymous (or “Nony,” as I affectionately call him/her) is on my side now…
I think it’s adorable the way you humanize Nony. It’s super cute when you act like it’s a person.
Funny, funny. 😆😆😆
