(One’s a meme.) It’s likely been obvious since I’ve been posting here, that aside from some comments I make which are my own and don’t represent the blog, I’m careful about what sort of energy I put into the Playtime universe. I’ve just finished reading Evan Hurst’s Moral High Ground for today, and while it’s wildly, hilariously entertaining as well as pertinent, it’s not the energy I want to put out, so instead, here is a meme from me, with a bit from the piece, which is linked, and if you like really snarky humor, please do go enjoy it! It’s just a little rougher than I want to post here, even though I restacked it on substack. To be totally clear, the meme applies to myself and what Chip Gaines said. And now, we carry on- A.

Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

Snippet from The Moral High Ground:

I don’t know what Chip Gaines’s walk with the Lord on these issues has consisted of, bu his response to the manufactured controversy from God’s most wasted creations confirms that he’s indeed been on some version of such a walk, unlike anybody else in this post.

Talk, ask qustns, listen.. maybe even learn. Too much to ask of modern American Christian culture. Judge 1st, understand later/never It’s a sad sunday when “non believers” have never been confronted with hate or vitriol until they are introduced to a modern American Christian💔

One line in there tells me that Chip, wherever he is exactly on this issue, his heart is at least aiming in the direction of Jesus:

“Maybe even learn. Too much to ask of modern American Christian culture.” That’s biting, but that’s not the line. “Judge 1st, understand later/never.” He’s not fucking around, but that’s still not the line.

“It’s a sad sunday when ‘non believers’ have never been confronted with hate or vitriol until they are introduced to a modern American Christian.”

There it is. That’s the one that says he gets it. (snip-do go read it all, if you like; link below!)

Chip And Joanna Done Pissed Off The Bigots, Oh Lord by Evan Hurst

Joanna better not give a gay couple any shiplap! Read on Substack

What I like about this video is he uses the bibles own words against the followers of the bible’s vengeful angry god who worship the bible instead of following the teachings of Jesus. The bible is a story of a people looking for god, finding god, running away from god, disobeying god, and returning to god. It is not a thing to worship as even the bible says don’t worship the book. Instead the Christians follow Jesus and his teachings. How many Christians today such as Nancy Mace should really call themselves Biblians because they follow a collection of stories about the people instead of the New Testament of the Jesus. Hugs
