When a joke goes bad…

…but it’s not a joke. Really.

So one of the hens from The View, Sherri Shepherd, decided to make a funny:

She also tells the mag that that it is hard being ‘taken to task about her faith’ on The View:

“Oh sometimes I say, ‘Lord, Juanita Bynum or Joyce Myers (evangelists) would be so good at this table. They could lay hands on Barbara Walters and get her saved. I ask the Lord, ‘Why am I here?’ I have to trust God when He says, ‘Because I said so.’”

Ok. This isn’t a joke. This is an actual, motherphucking, huge-ass, gorilla of a problem.

Why do, “Christians” feel audacious enough that they think they can lead someone to being, “saved?” Furthermore, why do, “Christians” feel like people should be saved? Maybe we don’t want to? Have you ever thought about that, folks?

At first, I was seething because Barbara Walters is a Jewess, like me. Living in The Bible Belt/The South, I hear this shit incessantly. People thinking they mean well but they, ultimately, don’t. They’re just being narrow minded, self-absorbed, selfish and disrespectful.

So disrespectful that a former colleague of mine actually took me out to lunch to address my life of sin. All because she was worried about me. Note: SHE was worried. SHE. It was all about HER. Not me. Not my beliefs. No respect for me - at all. The fact that I’m a Jewess and refuse to accept (let alone acknowledge) Christ as my savior had been keeping her up at night and that just won’t do!

Sherri Shepherd was not joking. She does believe this shit. Any attempt to spin this story any other way is merely that - a feeble attempt to hide her blantant arrogance.

And to her other comment about the bazillions of abortions she had: it’s a good thing. We don’t need the stupid and the arrogant procreating.

Moar abortions and less fundies, kplzthnx!
