One of my favorite fun facts from the creator of VeggieTales Phil Vischer's autobiography "Me, Myself, and Bob" was that they started getting letters from parents whose kids refused to eat anything they'd seen on VeggieTales, and letters from parents whose kids would only eat vegetables they'd seen on VeggieTales.

Parents when they put on veggie tales and their child starts refusing all vegetables, sobbing about decapitating Larry when they see cucumber slices

"jesus was actually a radical Palestinian activist of colour" stop trying to sell Christianity by slapping a progressive coat of paint on it. it's still preaching even if you don't recognise that and think you're just trying to fight back against conservatives or whatever. I promise you ~global christendom~ would not be fucking redeemed if everyone just learned the *true* meaning of his message (but for real this time)

So when we - Jewish anti-zionists - tell y'all that, yes, sometimes anti-zionism bleeds into antisemitism, this is an example of what we mean.

Zinnia really dove head first into this one.

Like, saying Judaism and Zionism are the same thing is already inherently antisemitic (even and especially when Zionists do it), but this is next level shit.

evangelicals being like "god made men to do This and be like This and women to do That and be like That that's just how it is" and it's just a picture of a white man and woman following traditional gender norms makes me so insane like you boring fascist fucks. god made 2 million species of beetles. god made whales, ducks, humans, and 1500 other species capable of same sex behavior. god made fish and amphibians that change sexes. god made more than 30 different intersex variations in human beings. god, in his infinite curiosity. wake up!!! fuck!!

In veggietales, specifically the Jonah and the ark story, starts out with the veggies on a bus singing about how excited they are to eat steak and shrimp.

Paired with their forward-facing eyes, I fear this paints a disturbing picture of the universe’s food chain.

If their god is above, does their vegetable existence itself not count as blasphemy? What is the state of their flora?

I really hate entering the theological discussion of transness because it usually centers around the Christian God and not the many other interpretations of gender that exist across pantheons. But sometimes that topic comes towards you and they say 'you should accept the way that God made you' and its like...

...not that I'm in the habit of speaking on behalf of God or anything, but what if God wanted me to be nonbinary? What if God wanted my friends to be trans? What if God wanted gender to take a backseat to my sense of justice? What if God wanted me to be happy?

Like why can't this be part of God's plan? Why cant me, having bigger fish to fry that what's in my pants, be part of God's plan? What if God sent ME to YOU to teach about loving your neighbor and not the other way around?

What if the world was made of pudding?

FOR THE LAST TIME

👏 APOSTASY is the rejection of a faith after having professed it;

👏 HERESY is selective belief in only some of the tenets of a faith one professes, or belief in tenets contrary to those of a faith one professes;

👏 BLASPHEMY is derogation of the honour due to God.

I think I recognize this screenshot from The Best Christmas Gift (2019), and I'm pretty sure that this is from them putting on a Christmas pageant and it's like extra obvious that they're actors, so it is a little bit of a loophole. Also, I don't think Phil Vischer was in charge, but he was part of the voice cast.

merry christmas
