Christian Man Mourns Passing of Great Preacher, Ignores All the Bad Stuff He Said and Did

A local Christian man, Michael Brown, was saddened to hear about the death of a famous preacher, whom he admired for his contributions to modern Christianity. Brown said he chose to focus on the positive aspects of the preacher's legacy, and not dwell on the controversial and divisive issues that he disagreed with.

"I think he was a great man of God, who preached the gospel faithfully and boldly," Brown said. "He had a huge impact on many people's lives, including mine. He taught me how to study the Bible, how to pray, how to share my faith, and how to live a godly life."

Brown said he was aware of some of the preacher's controversial views and actions, such as his endorsement of a political candidate who was accused of sexual misconduct, his approach to social justice and race relations, his support for a war that killed thousands of civilians, his endorsement of another pastor later found to be involved in a financial scandal that defrauded millions of dollars from donors, and his denial of climate change and evolution.

However, Brown said he did not let those things affect his admiration for the preacher. "I don't agree with everything he said or did, but I don't think that matters. He was human, after all. He made mistakes. He had flaws. He was not perfect. But he loved Jesus, and that's what counts."

Brown said he hoped that other Christians would follow his example and honor the preacher's memory by focusing on his good deeds and ignoring his bad ones. "We should not judge him or criticize him. We should forgive him and thank him for his service to the Lord. We should celebrate his life and legacy, and not let the enemy use his faults to divide us or discredit him."

Brown said he planned to attend a memorial service for the preacher at his church, where he expected to hear glowing tributes and testimonies from other admirers. He said he also planned to buy a copy of the preacher's latest book, which was published posthumously and contained his final thoughts on various topics.

"I'm sure it will be a blessing to me and many others," Brown said. "He was such a wise and godly man. I can't wait to read what he had to say."

Pride: Remembering Sodom & Gomorrah

Sodom and Gomorrah: The Original Pride Parade Gone Wrong As the calendar turns to June, rainbow flags and glitter will soon blanket city streets worldwide to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. But before you head out to party, let's take a moment to reflect on the very first recorded Pride parade that didn't go quite as planned - the ill-fated cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. For those rusty on their biblical history, Sodom and Gomorrah were neighboring municipalities around the Dead Sea renowned for their hospitality and...other proclivities. When two angels visited the cities incognito, the residents rolled out the welcome mat in a manner that would make modern swingers blush. Lot, a seemingly chill dude who just wanted to mind his own business, tried to protect the angels from the amorous townsfolk. But despite his pleas to "not act wickedly," the cities' citizens continued to pursue their unconventional interests with gusto befitting their reputation as the original ...

To Protect Last Political Allies from Trump, Biden Pardons Pilate, the Sanhedrin

Critics Say Presidential Clemency 2,000 Years Too Late In a shocking twist of historical revisionism, President Biden has issued a last-minute presidential pardon for Pontius Pilate and the Sanhedrin, effectively settling a 2,000-year-old legal dispute. The unprecedented move comes as Biden clears his presidential desk, seemingly determined to resolve theological legal matters that have been pending since the first century. "Sometimes, you've got to wash your hands of ancient history—literally," Biden reportedly quipped, making a clear reference to Pilate's infamous hand-washing gesture. The pardon documents hilariously cite "administrative oversight" and "bureaucratic complications" as primary reasons for the belated legal clemency. Religious scholars and historians are bewildered, with one anonymous theologian remarking, "Well, that's one way to end a presidency—by retroactively solving a crucifixion controversy." The White House pr...
