The shadows of drones loom large over distant lands, from those shadows my voice rises from the echoes of a past life. As a former evangelical Christian and a veteran of the "War on Terror," my perspective on these issues cuts through the haze with a sharp, personal acuity. The scars of war and faith color my view, painting a stark picture of the dissonance between the morals preached and the horrors we see executed. Are we really so numb, so utterly disconnected, that the signing of bombs—an...
Fletcher ChristianAliens, Angels, and Asshattery: The Grand Face-Off
Sometimes I’d rather listen to four hours of “Mustang Sally” than another douche canoe “expert” pontificate about Jesus or UFOs or whatever new cosmic asshole theory is trending. But here’s the thing: I actually like Billy Carson. Yeah, that guy, with his pseudo-academic babble about ancient aliens and cryptic texts. Part of me cringed at the obvious bullshit, but part of me was like, “Fuck it, I’d rather explore Atlantis with a delusional dreamer than hear one more sermon from a Bible schola...
Fletcher ChristianThe Power of Emergence: Revolutionizing Governance
Alright, let’s break this down. Think about how your body works. You don’t sit there and micromanage every cell, telling it what to do. Those cells just do their thing, communicating in this incredible syncopated soliloquy of life. Now, apply that to society and governance. We’ve got this mess of laws and regulations, like warehouses full of shitty toilet paper, and it’s choking us. Instead of more laws and regulations, we need to cut through the red tape, hateful rhetoric, and political bull...

Here’s the deal: Evangelical Christians who think Trump is God’s chosen one are cherry-picking Bible verses like it’s a damn dinette set. They conveniently ignore the parts that don’t fit their narrative. You know, like Paul saying to pray for all leaders because God put them there. So, guess what? If God put Trump in office, He also put Biden there. But you don’t see these folks sending any prayers Biden’s way, do you? Burn in hell prayers don’t count.
Let’s talk Romans 13:1-2 for a minute: “Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” Simple, right? Apparently not, if you’re only reading the parts you like.
These Trump-loving evangelicals are the kings of selective reading. They’ll shout from the rooftops that Trump is God’s man, but when Biden took office? Crickets. If you believe God appointed Trump, you better believe He appointed Biden too. Otherwise, you’re just full of shit.
This kind of selective interpretation is a theological train wreck. Are we saying God only backs leaders we like? That makes God look like a cosmic flip-flopper. And it makes these so-called believers look like hypocrites.
This isn’t new, by the way. History’s full of people twisting religious texts to fit their political agendas. It’s a classic move. But that doesn’t make it any less bullshit.
The fallout? Divided churches, more political bullshit, and a bunch of people getting turned off from religion entirely. When the message is this inconsistent, it’s no wonder folks are walking away from the church in droves. It’s like watching a soap opera where none of the storylines make sense and the guy who says he is coming back never does.
If you’re going to “live according to the Bible” maybe cut the crap and read the Bible for what it says, not just the parts that make you feel good. If you’re gonna claim God put someone in power, be consistent. Pray for Biden just like you did for Trump. Or better yet, maybe keep your political views out of your theology altogether. Just a thought.
You know what? How about we just get rid of it altogether? You guys have had thousands and thousands of years to try to make it work, and all you’ve done is murder and pillage. Religion’s track record is a bloody mess. Maybe it’s time we stop using ancient texts to justify modern bullshit and start taking responsibility for our actions without hiding behind a holy book.
