The Talus Slopes Podcast

EPISODE 41: Does Your Pastor Think You’re Stupid? (Ep.41)In this episode, Kris and Justin examine and discuss a very curious post by a very curious individual who is… A PASTOR. We suppose we all better just shut up and listen to the inspired wisdom of this great mind of our times. JK, we taking it allllll apart. Is a simple faith truly better than actually getting educated on a matter? We have our doubts on that take. As always, you all decide for yourselves!RESOURCE LINKS: Honest Youth Pastor Instagram post: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/p/C9QslykMjDH/?igsh=MWQ3OW1qdTBsaDBnZw%3D%3D⁠SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talusslopes/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-SROvhjwS-HinubRqDT1VgProduction, engineering, music, and artwork by Justin JanetzkoGraphics attributions: <a href="http://www.freepik.com">Designed by pch.vector / Freepik</a>https://www.vecteezy.com

The vilification of the trans community when it comes to sports and bathrooms is outrageous, hateful, and oh so popular right now. We’d love to exist in another timeline, but this is what we’ve got, so let’s talk reality. We all know conservatives are incredibly skilled at making stuff up and getting people to believe them… We’re here to at least help you find the facts in this whole mess. Join us as we tackle myths and talking points that are dominating the narrative around women and the trans community.

Us: Just minding our own business. Conservative Christians: “HUGE NUMBERS OF KIDS ARE TRANSITIONING AND ARE MISERABLE BECAUSE OF IT.” Uh huh, sure. Where’d you get your information from, huh? Facebook? 4CHAN? Your local church??? Kris and Justin want to set the record straight regarding the wild claims conservatives are making about trans regret, because it’s starting to get ridiculous how many lies are being spread about the matter. Join us as we show our work and expose the lies that God’s mightiest warriors are all too happy to share.

Today we’re talking about the culture war topic that is solely responsible for powering many a conservative program/tweet/stand-up routine/t-shirt line/brunch/etc. … Pronouns! We all have them, but why? And how? And when? And who? But mostly WHAT is the big deal? Join Kris (they/them) and Justin (he/him) and they discuss the intricacies of navigating the Christian response to the pronoun conversation, and decide once and for all “Should Christians Use Pronouns”.

They mad. Oh, they maaaaaad. Or are they? It’s hard to really tell when the more unhinged you appear, the more your stuff takes off. What an incentive. We’re kinda over it, but conservatives keep on serving up hot dishes of Big Mad that are really harshing our good vibes, and they are getting rewarded for doing so.

You’ll never guess what! Donald Trump said some transphobic stuff and half the nation was like “Yeah, it’s cool.” We don’t think so, but it did remind us of some other awful stuff some Christians are spreading around right now about the trans community. In this episode, we break down the claim that there is a social contagion of “transgendering” currently happening in America, and try to shed some light on what’s really going on. We also want to implore conservatives to stop being so terrible on this and so much more.

Here is a bonus episode we did last season in which Kris and Justin run across some internet foolishness regarding name changes in the Bible, and discussion ensues.

Do you believe in ghosts? After this episode, we do. We really believe in learning your vocab for the test of life. We think many conservative Christians are failing that test because, well, all sorts of reasons. Specifically, it doesn’t seem they know much about the trans community but insist on talking about them anyway. Not great! Listen as Teacher Kris (an accredited educator, of course) leads us through some important terms and ideas associated with the trans community. Your mind will not get bored.

FINALLY! Today, we finish watching and responding to the “Taking a Bold Stand on Human Sexuality” video. It’s been a wild ride, but it ain’t over yet. Imagine creating an entire theological point based on a word that appears twice in all of the Bible and nobody really even knows exactly what it means. You can’t be telling us that you’d do that with anything else in life. We hope this final episode of the season inspires you to continue thinking critically about the cringe attacks coming from conservatives regarding the LGBTQIA+ community. Happy listening!

When the homophobes really want to serve up the queer and affirming community, all they think they have to do is drop a dollop of Romans 1 on us. Hahahahaha! Did they really think they’d catch us lacking?? In 2024?? With all the historical research and evidence that winds up in favor of the affirming perspective?? Alas, Kris and Justin think it’s time to point out some of the weaknesses in the conservative interpretation of this widely used and abused text.

Justin is casual friends with chef Gordon Ramsey, and Kris loves the word “licentiousness”... You can’t make this stuff up. Say, is being gay the same as committing adultery? What about fornication?

We hear all the time that biblical marriage is between one man and one woman, which makes sense until you read the Bible. We’re seeing a lot of unbiblical marriages in the Bible, and God doesn’t seem too upset about it. Also, Kris gets special permission from a conservative pastor to get married and take a wife. Yay!

“Fat little bottoms.” “Chunky thighs.” “Give me a spanking!” Hey, these ain’t our words! These quotes come straight to you from American theologian John Piper, who believes that Jesus thinks your kids would be better off if you just inflicted their rears with some mild pain. After all, that’s what God says in the Bible, right? Justin and Kris try to make sense of this argument without catching the ire of Piper. We wouldn’t want to end up in his spanking room after all.

Hey guys, remember that time Jesus was like, “Don’t be gay.”? Yeah, neither do we… But conservatives insist it’s true! In this continuation of our analysis of the “Taking a Bold Stand on Human Sexuality” video, Kris and Justin push back against a popular conservative claim that Jesus actually teaches that being gay is wrong… As always, judge for yourselves!  Link to “Taking a Bold Stand on Human Sexuality: A Special Message from Pastor Ted Wilson” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQtzrl8nIkg&t=1s Link to Alicia Johnston’s Book “The Bible & LGBTQ Adventists”: https://www.aliciajohnston.com/lgbtqadventists Link to “basar” stuff: https://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/hebrew/nas/basar-2.html#google_vignette Join our Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheTalusSlopesPodcast?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talusslopes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/talusslopes/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-SROvhjwS-HinubRqDT1Vg Production, engineering, music, and artwork by Justin Janetzko Graphics attributions: <a href="http://www.freepik.com">Designed by pch.vector / Freepik</a> https://www.vecteezy.com

Kris and Justin respond to the cold words of an Oklahoma State senator about the recent death of Nex Benedict… Sadly, this senator’s attitude feels too familiar. Where have we seen this before? Hmmmmmm… How can we address the horrific rhetoric and behavior coming from religious conservatives regarding the LGBTQIA+ community that will begin to make a difference?

We are the slowest, but we want to be the surest. Kris and Justin continue analyzing the “Taking a Bold Stand on Human Sexuality” video, and are confused by the claims made… Is marriage between a man and woman really something that the Bible commands? If you listen to some of these conservatives, you may get that feeling… If you listen to Paul in 1 Corinthians, you may not get that feeling. Why would you waste your time getting married when you could serve God instead??? Turns out, not too many conservatives are interested in that for themselves. But they fully support gay people not getting married to serve God better!

You know we had to do it… With all of the narratives out there about how God can turn someone who is a raging gay into a straight-shootin, God-fearin saint, we just had to weigh in on the question in question: Can God make a gay person straight? Kris and Justin break down the supernatural and natural explanations regarding conversion stories, and discover some hold more water than others… The verdict? You’ll just have to listen and find out!

The facts don’t lie… but we can lie about the facts. Is that what conservative Christians are doing, or do Kris and Justin have a complete misunderstanding of reality? Help us when we’re wrong, but we’re super confused about being so certain about an event that literally nobody was around to witness.

TW:  This episode contains content dealing with sexual abuse.  Does the Bible really promote homophobic ideas, or is it simply misunderstood? Kris and Justin return to the ever-important qualifier in the verse often used to defend homophobia: Leviticus 18:22. But is it what conservatives make it out to be? If it’s on this podcast, probably not. Check out this episode to see what we think conservative Christians get right and wrong when it comes to ancient views of sexuality.

We push forward in our analysis of the “Taking a Bold Stand on Human Sexuality” video… and there’s a lot of talk about Satan. Oh, he’s a wiley one, always trying to turn the kids gay or something? Kris and Justin try to decipher what conservative Christians actually believe about Satan, the Bible, and love… from what we can tell, it’s kinda all over the place.

TW: This episode contains content dealing with sexual abuse. Ever notice that conservative Christian churches are a little light in the “LGBTQIA+ attendance” area? Apparently, this is baffling to several conservative Christians leaders, so we thought we’d help them out. In this episode, Kris gives a thorough response to Danny Shelton’s “welcoming” message to gay people who are apprehensive about attending their local congregation. Looks like they’re just overreacting, according to Danny. Kris would disagree. And Justin would agree… with Kris. And you can make up your own mind about it all, this week on The Talus Slopes Podcast.

Izzy is back to help Justin figure out what in the world the “Taking a Bold Stand on Human Sexuality” video is trying to say. This week, the fellas actually start watching the video (oh wow)! There’s a lot to say about the 25 seconds that are actually viewed, including The Great Controversy book, Wilson’s shout-out to the reformers, and the casual dropping of martyrdom imagery (as conservatives do). Are conservative Christians heroes, or just homophobic?

Guest Izzy Olaore joins Talus Slopes to help start breaking down a video that has got Justin feeling down about the state of modern Christianity… What else is new? In Part I of a series analyzing the Seventh-day Adventist church’s video response to the LGBTQIA+ movement and those who affirm it, Izzy and Justin discuss the title of the video “Taking a Bold Stand on Human Sexuality”... and really get no further than that. Turns out whoever titled that video knew what they were doing! We hope this series will be helpful in understanding why a non-affirming position is so problematic… period.  Link to “Taking a Bold Stand on Human Sexuality: A Special Message from Pastor Ted Wilson” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQtzrl8nIkg&t=1s Join our Patreon: https://patreon.com/TheTalusSlopesPodcast?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talusslopes/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/talusslopes/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-SROvhjwS-HinubRqDT1Vg Production, engineering, music, and artwork by Justin Janetzko Graphics attributions: <a href="http://www.freepik.com">Designed by pch.vector / Freepik</a> https://www.vecteezy.com

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains content dealing with sexual abuse.  In this continuation of Episode 3, Kris and Justin wrap up their analysis of that damn paragraph from the infamous “Homophobes” worksheet… and share observations regarding the human race and male genitalia (they seem to be slightly obsessed).

In this patrons-only bonus episode that we’ve made public, Justin and Kris break down the absurdities of Question 5 from the “Homophobes” worksheet of Episode 2 fame.
