Am I The Only One – Aaron Lewis
Having done my part, I’m heading to bed.
Oh that made me guffaw!
I am looking forward to it.
It’s ok, Jem. Babylon Bee is a satire site - owned and run by Christians. They’re very funny.
Here’s one of their short videos, which really gets a good message across:

I love Austrian pastries. My mother was from Trieste, which was the only port city in the Austro-Hungarian empire. Triestine cooking melded Austrian and Italian to have the best of both worlds. Except for Iota, sauerkraut soup. We can skip that one. But the Pasticcerias (pastry shops, ie bakeries) were mostly Austrian creations.
That made me laugh too, Spunky. “Lowly fry cook” lolo.
I think the satire was more aimed at people idolizing public figures, not aimed at Jesus at all. They did say he won every year for over 2000 years.
Well, you sure can!
Enjoy!
You can tell that everyone is pretty much caught up on all of the shopping and other busyness that comes with Christmas. We’re all done, now just winding down and looking forward to a week of being burrowed in with egg nog and relaxation lol.
“There are some things about which no one should joke. The righteousness of Jesus, the holiness of God is one of those things.”
I agree with you Jemian.
I have listened to Seth Dillon (owner) speak about The Bee, his faith, etc. He is very sound. The Bee really does use satire and humor to get points across very well. He interviews people as well.....I remember a few years back when he interviewed Elon Musk. Seth confronts and questions and he tried very hard to lead Elon to make a committment to Christ. Elon only ever goes so far as defending the principles of Christianity. I expect that will change, eventually.
I like Seth Dillon and think they do an incredible job at The Bee. He goes after everything, every idol, all woke nonsense, politics, nothing is off the table. His satire really points out the folly of these positions. I think his videos starring Satan are particularly effective.
He wasn’t joking about the righteousness of Jesus, as Cotton pointed out. The Bee never jokes about that. He was pointing out the frivolity of the world. It needs a bit of a deeper look.
Here’s Satan. Great points.

“I think the satire was more aimed at people idolizing public figures, not aimed at Jesus at all. They did say he won every year for over 2000 years.”
I don’t always get the meaning of some satire.
I tend to get my feathers ruffled anytime I see Jesus used in any other way then with reverance.
Here is an example that made my blood boil.
Called “Piss Christ”
“The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art’s “Awards in the Visual Arts” competition,[1] which was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects.”
This is one place where they can start cutting our money from.
Oh I remember Piss Christ.
Disgusting. Vulgar. Full-throated blasphemy.
If you see some of The Bee’s videos, you will soon realize that this guy has an incredible ministry going on. He not only does the satire, but he invites people over to his ministry site, where he connects with people and answers questions to those making serious inquiries about Christianity. I give him a lot of credit for using some pretty sharp humor to wake people up.
Here’s one about the election loss. Well done, IMHO.

I will watch them tomorrow. Now I have to watch my murder mysteries so I can go to sleep. Lol
Lolo nothing like a good murder to send one off to a peaceful sleep! That’s pretty funny.
