During almost every commercial my friend Andy said, “That’s not what that song’s about.” Too sad to be comical.

Oh my head. I was in the other room when I heard that.

It wasn't a "Jesus gets us" was it?

Like the GOP playing "Born in the USA"

Sure was.

I saw an ad the other day for some kind of weird army themed blinged out electric go cart/cooler.

The music was “fortunate son” by Creedence Clearwater Revival…

They must have never listened to the lyrics.

I felt the same way when the National Christians were singing Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah at Trump rallies.

Is that the group tied to devoses that’s trying to trick everyone that there are no bad things about Christianity and don’t look to close?

Yep.

No sh*! What do you think apocalypso is about?! Caesar called himself the savior of the world first! Jesus is all about turning the world upside down! That’s what subversive passivity is!

What are you talking about?

Just no reading of anything that’s not the most obvious, superficial take…on everything.
