Veggie Tales Creator Phil Vischer Compares Christians who Oppose Legal Same-Sex "Marriage" to ‘Confederate Theologians’
Proestia ^ | 14th December 2022 | Staff Author

Veggie Tales creator Phil Vischer, the man who swears he’s not progressive despite knocking creationists as a bunch of dummies, crediting his white privilege for the success of his show, claiming he didn’t know there were such things black Christians until he was an adult, thumbing his nose at “Cracker Barrel Christians,” getting upset at Christians for opposing LGBTQ, and coming out as pro-choice, has a burr in his saddle.

On episode 537 of the Holy Post podcast, Vischer is set off by Al Mohler’s column critiquing David French for his endorsement of the “Respect For Marriage Act.” In particular, this paragraph by Mohler really got him going:

"One of the most perplexing marks of our time is the defection of so many “conservatives” from the cause of conserving what Russell Kirk called “the permanent things.” If marriage is not conserved—if civil marriage is not conserved as a man-woman union—then nothing genuinely conservative can last, at least for long. Support for the Respect for Marriage Act is bad enough. The way David French frames his argument is worse. This is how conservatism dies, and this is how marriage is surrendered.

In response, Vischer begins sniping that Mohler is “not defending the faith in this. He’s defending conservatism. Conservatism has become the thing that we are supposed to fight for. Not Jesus. Not the faith. Not the church.”

Then, in what may be the clearest indication yet that Vischer has become pro-LBGTQ, he criticizes people who say that heterosexual marriage is a foundational belief that must never be compromised, saying that confederate soldiers said the same thing about slavery, making a 1-to-1 comparison.

Phil Vischer Is a Christian Sodomite. He will earn a Sodomite’s reward.

Most Confederate soldiers owned no slaves. They were fighting against the invasion of their homeland, not for slavery!

Grant and Sherman defeated the Confederacy by destroying the civilian infrastructure. So Confederate soldiers were justified in fighting against them!!

2 Thessalonians 2:3 NKJV
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day [i.e. the Day of the Lord, the second coming of Christ] will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition.

Luke 4:21 NKJV
And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

In Luke 4, Christ read from the scroll in the synagogue but stopped reading abruptly. He was reading from Isaiah 61, and the next phrase is this:

“And the day of vengeance of our God.” (See Isaiah 61:2.) But this part was not fulfilled during Christ’s first coming.

I think we are witnessing the “falling away” or apostasy which was prophesied two thousand years ago to come before the Day of the Lord/Christ’s second coming. We are literally watching and hearing it happen right now.

As I recall, only about 1/3 of the Veggie Tales were Bible stories.

For some time, he did seem to have a hang-up about women. “David and Bathsheba” became “King George and the Ducky,” or some such. Then “Omelet” (his version of Hamlet) had a male voice for Ophelia with the explanation of that’s how it was done in Shakespeare’s day.

Eventually he did make some stories centered on girls and women but it took a while.

I always thought this piece was a bit strange. Sort of based on the story of Nebuchadnezzar.

Botanically speaking “Bob the Tomato” and “Larry the Cucumber” are fruits.

Just sayin’

So many otherwise faithful Christians have bought into the “made that way” lie......if God made them that way, who are we to argue?

Far as I know there is not a shred of scientific evidence to support made that way. Homosexual acts are a choice, as is pedophilia and transvestism. As long as sexual acts are between consenting adults, we should not interfere - but understand that such behavior is clearly labeled sinful in God’s Word. I don’t know how Mr. Vischer and countless others reconcile their belief that God makes people homos (and pedos and trannies and murderers and thieves) with the clear guidance of scripture that these actions are sinful.

Having said that, I will still pull up “Dave and the Giant Pickle” when I need a good laugh.
