@Joe Bryant - Why would you use the crying emoji on this post? Perhaps I should have been more explicit, but have you never heard of The Righteous Gemstones? It's got an all-star cast, great writing, Emmy nominations, and it's hilarious. Does it make fun of the Joel Osteen / Jerry Falwell types? Sure does, but I think you agree they aren't representative of what you think Christianity should be.
Because I think it's sad we Christians give people reason to laugh at us that much.
I totally get it that you think it's funny and awesome there's that much to laugh about.
I don't.
And yes, it would be great if people didn't use the fringe examples to make generalizations about the whole group.
But we all know that happens and it quickly spirals down to "I'd rather just donate to my local food bank, where I know that it's going to help people that need it, than helping to pay for Joel Osteen's house"
So forgive me if I find that not hilarious.
