What is y'alls favorite scene drop a pic or description in the comments!

Galatians 1:11-12. Paul, in his own words: 'I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.'

Paul is saying the quiet part out loud. His information came from visions. Not eyewitnesses. Not interviews. Not travel notes. Visions.

And yet Christian apologists treat Paul's letters as the earliest historical evidence for Jesus. You cannot have it both ways. Either Paul's source is supernatural or it is historical. Which is it?

Drop your answer below.

Happy Sunday! Donald J. Trump faked assassination attempts to get elected president.

You're welcome.

Every time an atheist raises the Euthyphro Dilemma, the apologist move is the same: 'Well, God forbids murder because it's actually wrong.'

Cool. You just lost the argument.

If wrongness exists independently of God and He is merely the one reporting on it, then God isn't the source of morality. He's a middleman. A cosmic ethics librarian. Divine Command Theory just retired itself.

You can have a God who defines morality (horn 1) or you can have objective morality (horn 2). You cannot have both.

Which horn did your pastor pick? Tag a theology major, let's see them untangle this.

A working pastor in Kentucky sat down for an HBO documentary and told the camera, on the record, that if the Bible said 2 + 2 = 5, he would believe it and spend the rest of his life trying to work out how.

That is not a parody. That is not a mythicist's strawman. That is Pastor Peter LaRuffa of Grace Fellowship Church, on HBO's Questioning Darwin, 2014. The man is out here admitting that basic arithmetic loses to scripture every time.

What's the wildest thing a pastor told you to believe as a kid? Tag someone who grew up in this.

Picture it. You are mid cardiac surgery, and your surgeon puts down the scalpel, spots a craps game on the next bed, and loses his entire mind. He is flipping monitors, screaming about a 'den of thieves,' and chasing the anesthesiologist out with an IV stand.

That is the Jesus of John 2:13-16. Not the stained-glass hippie. The whip-making, table-flipping, market-clearing zealot the WWJD bracelets quietly left out.

Which Jesus moment did your Sunday school conveniently skip? Tag a pastor who only preaches the peaceful version.

These aren't deepfakes. These aren't paraphrases. These are Donald J. Trump's own words, on Howard Stern's show, April 2005, caught on tape, bragging about using his pageant ownership as a loophole to walk in on women while they were undressed.

His closing line: 'I sort of get away with things like that.'

And evangelical pastors still tell their congregations President Donald J. Trump was personally chosen by God.

What scripture do you think they'll twist next to justify it? Tag the 'family values' voter who needs to read his own savior's words.

MAGA will probably die on this hill

"Jesus is totally unique." Okay. Osiris had an incarnation myth. Osiris died. Osiris came back in a glorified body. Osiris ascended to rule the afterlife.

And he was doing all of this in public temples, in Egypt, for roughly 2,000 years before a Galilean carpenter was ever a twinkle in Yahweh's eye.

That is not copying. That is borrowing from the bin marked "already used."

What is your favorite "totally unique" Jesus claim that turns out to have a much older pagan version?

Tag the Christian friend who swears Jesus invented resurrection.

The Treaty of Tripoli was signed in 1796, ratified unanimously by the Senate in 1797, and signed by John Adams. Article 11 couldn't be more clear: the government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.

Not "kind of" founded on it. Not "inspired by" it. Not in ANY sense.

So why do the loudest "Christian nation" politicians never bring this up? Because it torpedoes their entire narrative with a document signed by the Founders themselves.

What's your go-to response when someone pulls the "Christian nation" card?

The Health and Human Services Secretary of the United States is on record. In his OWN journal. Pulled over on I-684 with his kids waiting in the car, slicing the p***s off a roadkill raccoon, while thinking about "how weird" his family is.

This is the man Trump put in charge of your healthcare. The bear cub. The whale head on the minivan. The brain worm. Now this.

What's the weirdest RFK Jr. story you've heard so far? Tag someone who STILL defends this guy.

Nothing says "get the hell out of my temple" quite like Jesus flipping tables on a Tuesday afternoon. But if a doctor walked into their OR and found people running a poker game next to the anesthesia cart, this energy would be 100% justified.

The real question is: who had the audacity to set up a card table in the first place?

What is the wildest thing you have ever seen someone do where they absolutely should not have been doing it? Tag someone who would gamble in an operating room.
