People sometimes ask why I have the comments turned off. The answer is simple; I don’t need to be told 500 times a day that I’m going to hell. I’ve heard that threat my entire life. So, if my posts offend you, do the adult thing and just move along. In other words, turn the other cheek.

When I post a joke, I try not to use big words so evangelicals can understand they are being insulted. I hope this one doesn’t go over their heads.

Born-again Christians believe that critical thinking leads to hellfire damnation. Therefore, the turn-or-burn crowd tries to avoid thinking at all costs. They are spectacularly successful in that effort.

ICE is searching for a man of Middle Eastern descent who has a long history of caring for the poor, feeding the hungry, and comforting the sick. His millions of followers believe He will soon return for them, but sadly, they are filled with hate and refuse to follow His example of compassion.

Born-again Christians believe that “sin” is something fun that they are not allowed to do. Consequently, they don’t want anyone else to be able to do it either.

Religious freedom does not mean you have the right to inflict others with your beliefs.

One side believes THEIR GOD is the right god, while the other side is convinced THEIR GOD is the right god. Consequently, wars have ravaged humanity because of these ridiculous assertions. The world would be a far more peaceful place if everyone realized there are NO GODS to fight over.

Why are so many hospitals named after saints? If you believe in the power of prayer, you don’t need an ER or an ICU. I think Christians are trying to have their cake and eat it too.

If you talk to an imaginary companion in the hope they will give you whatever you want, you’re either mentally ill or you are an evangelical. In either case, you have lost touch with reality.

There is nothing that self-righteous born-again Christians love more than judging others. But it is the height of arrogance to believe a vengeful God needs THEIR HELP finding sinners who deserve eternal damnation.

As a child, I was a victim of brainwashing. I was raised a Southern Baptist. As an adult, escaping the cult was not easy, but I eventually managed to stop drinking the Kool-Aid and switch to Rum and Coke. Cheers!

Evangelicals don’t love God. They fear the threat of eternal damnation. That is not what you would call a healthy relationship.

Born-again Christians are extremely sensitive about having their beliefs ridiculed, which makes it all the more fun to point out their idiocy at every opportunity. Like right now.

Evangelicals demand that everyone respect their religious beliefs, but, of course, they refuse to give those who disagree with them the same consideration.

A strict religious upbringing is an abusive attempt by ignorant adults to brainwash an innocent child into believing they are wicked and sinful. The damage it causes can last a lifetime.

Mentally unhinged evangelicals refuse to engage in critical thinking. That is why they helped elect a pedophile as president TWICE.

The definition of blasphemy: When someone disagrees with the crazy religious delusions you are trying to force on them, and it hurts your feelings.

To be convinced that an omnipotent God would choose Donald Trump to lead America is proof that evangelicals will believe anything.

Join ICE today, and you too could hide your identity under a ridiculous mask, wear unnecessary tactical gear, and be heavily armed as you defend America by taking away the freedom of innocent people.

The definition of hell: a heaven filled with evangelicals.

People who choose faith over science will discover they were dead wrong at a much younger age.

It’s always ironic to see the “God and Guns” crowd on TV saying that they’re praying to God for the victims of guns.

Evangelicals love to pick and choose which Bible verses they’ll follow and which ones they’ll ignore. It’s a glorious example of free will.

The people who demand that the Ten Commandments be publicly displayed are the same people who happily ignore those commandments.

When anti-vaxxers get sick, they race to the emergency room because their unshakable faith in prayer is suddenly replaced by the realization that only science can save them.

My childhood friend prayed to the Son of God for a puppy. But, of course, he didn’t get one. So, he took matters into his own hands. He stared at the REAL SUN and got a guide dog.
