Sleeping through sermons.

Gooooch.

Welcome to Holy Nonsense, where we laugh at religious absurdity!

Thank you to Kooky, Laura P, and Vel for becoming the newest paid subscribers!

Today’s Holy Nonsense comes from Bryan Gooch:

Gooch…may I call you Gooch? Gooch, re-read your first sentence.

“I love how godless heathens like to tell Christians what their god says and thinks.”

Now, switch godless heathens and Christians, and you know exactly how we feel. Y’all tell us what your god says and thinks constantly. A god that we don’t believe in. You quote from a collection of 66 books that mean zilch to us. You stand on the streets and tell us that we’re going to hell. I have just as much right to talk about your god as you do, even if I don’t believe.

They love to discredit us by reducing our experience to going to Sunday school a few times. Why is this always their go-to? Oh, right. It’s building a straw man they can easily knock down.

His whole second paragraph is punctuationless slop.

“A party of people who believe men can become women.” You believe snakes talk.

“Abortion is healthcare.” Your view of abortion is more black and white than a NEWSPAPER!

Get it because they’re black and white?

Dude thinks kids can’t know who they are, but I’m sure he’s fine with them giving their lives to Christ. Right, Gooch?

It makes me sad when someone refers to immigrants as illegals. They love to treat them as subhuman. Just a number. A nuisance. These are people who are just trying to make their lives better. I guess it’s a good thing that you were born in the good ol’ US of A, huh, Gooch?

Gooch is just like many other straight, white, cis American Christians: he just wants to live as comfortably as possible.

I want to make Jesus Unfollower my full-time mission, but I can’t do it without you. If you find value in what I do, consider becoming a paid subscriber!

Remember: you don’t need a god to be good!
