Dear iidb: Guy babbling about Christ, evolution, and the big bang.

[pood]

Dear iidb:

We are currently putting up a friend of a friend who wandered out to a local bar and got drunk on his ass. Now he is home and LOUDLY BABBLING about the supremacy of Christ, and the falsity of evolution and the big bang. I am uncertain what to do apart from either killing him or myself. Currently the topic of LOUD BABBLING is Sodom and Genorrah etc. Also speculation about who is the anti-Christ. I tried a few sallies about natural selection, genetic drift and sexual selection, plus how matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but these sallies have not deterred the LOUD BABBLING. I am hesitant to kill him (or myself) because he has bought the beer and promises to buy more. Should I humor him, or just kill him (or myself)?

Your thoughts (and prayers) are appreciated. I never know how to handle situations like this.

FLASH BULLETIN: The Queen of Sheba proves that evolution is false.

The existential crisis has eased. Now we are just taking about mutual bars and people we know.

I think I would tell him that Jesus had no human Y chromosome in his conception. The obvious conclusion is that he was an early example of transgendered man.

There is a saying 'no good deed goes unpunished'.

If it is a choice between killing him or yourself I think morally it should be yourself The Stoics believed suicide was an honorable way out of an untenable situation...

Maybe you can get him a room at a detox center or the Salivation Army.

Keep calm, take deep slow breaths, and smile at whatever he says.Imagine he is a quaking duck. Contemplate your navel.

Come to Jesus? If you can't beat em join em.

I mean probably not... But I have at least some inkling that the person responsible for certain "Jesus" quotes, particularly that last line from the Coptic Gospel of Thomas, might indicate that "Jesus" might have wished he was a transgender man.

He definitely had some kind of interest in FTM transitions.

... And if Matthew 19-12 is a quote from the same guy, he was also apparently interested in MTF transitions, too.

That said, I have yet to meet the person who goes off on Jesus-worship tirades who is anything deeper than "surface level" when it comes to their actual understanding.

I expect that Jesus was straight up queer, with a whole gaggle of queer friends.

I think here inn Seattle if somebody establishes residence in your place and you do not have a written agreement it can be hard to move him out.

You may want to check your legal position in NYC. Watch out if he starts getting mail.

Nah, he lives in San Diego, He is just visiting and likes to drink a lot.

And babble about Christ.

 

[pood]

He is currently drunk as fuck but the Christ babble has stopped and I am going to bed so all is well.

I get entertained by just asking them to describe what they think heaven is, in excruciating detail. Because it’s never actually nice.

Jesus turned water to wine at a party and said eat and drink to remember me. Must have been a party animal.

I have heard of a gay Jesus, never heard of a trans Jesus before.

He did say something good about guys who cut their balls off for god.

Mental ignore mode, nod, smile a lot, in one ear out the other, hopefully his monologue eventually runs out of steam.

So, when is this "friend" supposed to go back to San Diego? If he starts babbling again, keep babbling to yourself my mantra,,,,"It's only temporary....it's only temporary....

My feather had 5 brothers.

My uncle Mike was the family mooch. No fixed abode.

 

[unapologetic]

Do you have any christian friends you could pass him off on?

Plan B: Start your own religion. Make him your first convert.
Post him out on a street corner to recruit and beg for donations.

If I was over there, with a couple of beers I'll gladly talk to him about Christ.

Pool table?

We could be the 'two witnesses' (for a moment) converting secular drunkards who are willing to listen and buying a round.

Some people can handle wine, and some know when it's enough. I know there's a verse or two about that.

I have heard of a gay Jesus, never heard of a trans Jesus before.

I heard he was the son of Caesar once. but like the above... I haven't seen a good explanation for any.

He did say something good about guys who cut their balls off for god.

He says good things about anyone who is willing to put God first.
