Podcast #78: Patriotism or Christianity?

We begin this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors with one final bit of blowback from our interview with Cash Peters—and this one's priceless—which leads us into a reflection about the Fundamentalist's pathological need to find a threat or demon lurking behind every tree (can't an innocent erotic chakra massage be religiously neutral? Geez. Relax, people). We then banter a bit about the new Star Wars film and address a caller's feedback about Princess Leia's collagen-filled lips, after which we take another call about the personal and relational price of no longer towing the religious party line. Another listener's question about Jerry Falwell Jr. and Liberty University's open-carry gun policy leads to an in-depth discussion about Christianity and pacifism: Should believers be more American by arming themselves on the one hand, or try to, I don't know, imitate Christ on the other? Our "Feeding Friendzy" segment addresses the problem of our president having such an easy time implementing his communist agenda (will the Right *ever* stand up to him and say "No"?). Christian is biebered by the lawless wilderness that is his daughter's school parking lot, while Jason's bieber involves The Force and its rape-implications. Also, say hi to your mother for me, alright?
