Hard to watch no matter the frequency

I'd normally just laugh this kinda malarkey off for the absurdity that it is if I wasn't STILL hearing this or some variation of it from so many Christians. It's not just on the satire shows or even out of the mouths of the Mississippi folks I grew up with (that would be too easy) but from surprising places like students, recent college grads or people I meet through work. The same dissonant, divorced from reality nonsense, it just takes different forms with different levels of vocabulary. The mind balks. (and Jesus weeps)
