WASP Comedy

Just two white, cisgender, Protestants trying to tell our story. We're also middle class and male- can @jbmale & @michaeljsielaff be any more diverse?

I wrote a poem for #InaugurationDay too, but after listening to #AmandaGorman I think I may want to keep it tucked away in my email drafts for..."whoops," it was deleted.

@Truth_matters20 Your teaching bears bad fruit. What does the Bible say about that?

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

@jason_howerton You don’t understand the word. You are quick to abuse the word. And the fruits of your interpretation of the word are rotten.

If you think the Bible is telling you to objectify people you’re either an idiot or a predator or both.

As a Christian man I hereby distance myself—publicly and for all time—from the Christian men who suggest their wives are OBLIGATED to sleep with them. How utterly pathetic, abusive, and un-Christlike.

Aziz Ansari just appeared as Kash Patel on SNL, and they went innnnn on him

"I'm a trailblazer. I'm the first Indian person to suck at their job. Everyone says Indian people are smart, hardworking, incredibly intelligent. I prove without a shadow of a doubt that we can be just as incapable and incompetent as the whites."

If the way of Jesus was faithfulness—even to the cruel cross designed to intimidate and shame—then churches have no business measuring their success by numbers. A congregation of 5 may well be healthier than a congregation of 5,000.

👋 Hi I’m a minister and interfaith hospital chaplain who was raised fundamentalist evangelical Christian. I deconstructed and now my faith is messy but authentic (and life-giving). I still identify as Christian but if I had to choose I’d rather be called a good human.

As a hospital chaplain I see a lot of patients with altered mental status. Honestly—in my non-doctor opinion—he doesn’t have dementia, he’s just a really bad person.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

So God loves only American troops? Not innocent people who lost their lives in Iran? Where was God's "miraculous protection" for them? This is the inevitable result of believing that God is on "our side." It's making a false god in our image: a god who despises Iranians.

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

Every time these pro-patriarchy hacks try to demonize women in leadership it just sounds like a confession. Like, “easily deceived,” have you ever been to a conservative Christian Bible study for men? It’s like a breakout room at a conspiracy theory convention.

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

No Tyranny.
No ICE.
No War Crimes.
No Christian Nationalism.
No Cover Ups.
No Kings.

This is the proper reaction when a pastor tries to work a miracle by pushing your forehead.

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

There are many different types of Christianity, but no version of the faith stands a chance of being healthy unless it refuses to align with empire the way Jesus did.

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

If your god is racist, it’s only because you’re a racist.

If your god is homophobic, it’s only because you’re a homophobe.

Theology is a look in the mirror as much as a look at the sky.

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

Toxic Christianity is demanding unlimited grace for the privileged and powerful while holding the marginalized and disadvantaged to impossible standards

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

👋 Hi I’m a progressive Christian minister and hospital chaplain who believes:

• women are equally called to serve as preachers, pastors, and faith leaders
• women are underrepresented in the government
• women will lead us out of this maga mess we’re in

i will never understand how so many christians can read the gospels and come away with “we should kill more people in war”

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

They say America
but they mean rich oligarchs

They say patriotism
but they mean cult-like loyalty

They say freedom
but they mean cheap oil

They say God, Jesus, and the Bible
but they mean capitalism,
white supremacy,
and patriarchy.

[Rev. Justin Berkobien @JustinBerkobien]

Every day that goes by without this man being struck down by lightning from heaven is a testament to God’s long-suffering patience. God does not need the United States of America and God sure as hell doesn’t need a predatory narcissistic lying felonious bully in the Oval Office.
