Pence Mocks Democrats for Wanting to Make "Poor People More Comfortable"

Someone's getting visited by three Christmas spirits tonight.

• Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias is posthumously busted for being a perv. So far, three women who worked at health spas Zacharias owned have come forward saying he “touched them inappropriately, exposed himself, and masturbated during regular treatments over a period of about five years.”

• Kirk Cameron said a bunch of dumb stuff this week, including there’s “immunity in community,” that the people enforcing mask-wearing are the “mask Gestapo,” and possibly the dumbest of all:

  Acyn Torabi @Acyn

  “You might catch the hope virus”

  

• I don’t like to put words in a fictitious dead guy’s mouth, but Jesus would not approve of Mike Pence’s mocking attitude toward Democrats wanting to help the poor.

  The Hill @thehill

  Vice President Mike Pence: "[Democrats] want to make rich people poorer, and poor people more comfortable."

  

• The Brevard County commissioners in Florida have gone three years without invocations because, in the past, when they didn’t want to open the practice up to atheists, they were sued and lost badly. Well, they’re back at it and claim they’re ready to play fair by vowing to be inclusive of all beliefs. Seems like that promise deserves to be tested by Satanists, atheists, and other non-Christians.

• I’m pretty sure this is in the Bible somewhere. Reporters should ask all his evangelical supporters about it.

  Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones

  Trump is spending his last few weeks in office executing poor people and pardoning rich people.

• Preacher Hank Kunneman is shaming fellow conservative preachers who have accepted the reality of the election, because the voice in his head he calls God tells him otherwise.

• The War on Christmas looks quite a bit different this year. It’s no longer about the color of Starbucks cups or what greeting the shop clerk uses, but about the meanie health officials who cancelled Christmas by prohibiting you from heavy breathing “Silent Night” into your pew-mates face. Tonight, before you settle in for a long winter’s nap, follow Snopes all the way back to the beginning of the War on Christmas— you’re never going to believe who fired the first shot.

• And with that, Merry Friday, atheists :)
