Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 17, 2017

Give it your best shot. I’m unchurchable.

Pull up your unchurched pants. I found the “Unchurched Belt”:

Something interesting. At the bottom of the link (above) is a category named “Belt” regions of the United States. I clicked on Jell-O and found this odd statistic: “Utah residents also eat twice as much lime Jell-O as anyone else on the planet.”

Clear off!!! I don’t subscribe to your religion!

@pained: Considering that Jell-o was rumored (many years ago) to be made with brains, then we can expect the zombie apocalypse to begin in one of those small Utah towns?

maybe not

But this one caused me to remember a joke I read about 1961.

Can’t believe that your Jell-O actually was alive?

A kid is served his first batch of jell-o, which is, as usual oscillating on the dish. His mother says, Eat your Jell-o!" He says, “Eat it! It ain’t dead yet!”

The Unchurch of the Undead!

Charming a puppet off his strings.

Their humanity remains, however. They want to believe in something greater that can control their lives and bring them into a state of grace (the face) where they have no worries and are promised perpetual joy. We have had great success in selling governmental authority, defining the chuchers as The Great Evil, aided greatly by current political authoritarian ideologies that impose a church on the unchurched as part of their process of domination and oppression.

That unchurched puppet figure makes me think of the early Disney Halloween cartoon.

The last step before preaching to the choir.

FREE DOGSNIFF!!!

The man in black has the place up and running, will you be coming?

Not at my door.

Don’t expect them to send money for you to “save them.”

Religion is B.S.

Seems B.S. Makes the world go ‘round; or maybe it’s more like bump, bump, worble, skREEEEEEEEEEE!

There’s a horrid Christmas song where the kid is told that Jesus won’t let his dying mother into heaven unless she’s wearing some fancy new shoes … and the narrator of the song agrees. The song goes on with the message that the only thing that can be done to help this destitute family, whose mother is at death’s door, is to buy her some nice shoes, so Jesus won’t refuse to even look at her when she passes on. What kind of religion is that, PreacherMan?

All that evangelizing made one of the puppets legs become disjointed. That’s some power proselytizing.

Is there a semantic difference between evangelizing and proselytizing?

Well, bully for you, Preacherman!

As we’ve seen above, many don’t want to be evangelized (literally, to be told the Good News) and instead positively wallow in unchurchedness. That is their choice and their right. The churched also have made their choice, and that is their right.

Too bad both sides can’t Live and Let Live. Witness the Bad News of your choice….

“Live and Let Live” is not part of many religions. Definitely not Christianity and Islam.

Teresa, did I ever tell you that you’re my SHERO?

Planet Earth is blue, and there’s nothing I can do. as sung by David Bowie.

Hey, Preacherman, ask Dusty Springfield what your son’s gettin’ up to.
