WEBVTT 00:00:02.380 --> 00:00:09.300 Welcome to season 2 episode 4 of Missing Throwup Radio. 00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:11.700 This episode is going to be a little bit different. 00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:17.100 As the creator and founder of Missing Throwup Radio, I reserve the right to flip the script 00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:19.000 anytime I like. 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:25.940 Historically speaking, I have an abstract or concrete thought, or something that is irritating 00:00:25.940 --> 00:00:31.640 me, or something I've noticed, and I will do about 15 minutes on that topic and the most 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.480 absurd way imaginable. 00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:38.080 I will then have that chick say segment 2, and then I will do it again. 00:00:38.080 --> 00:00:39.080 Wash your ins repeat. 00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:44.680 You typically get two topics per episode of Missing Throwup Radio, and we keep it moving. 00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:47.400 I'm not going to say it's a formula, because it's not. 00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:48.760 It's just kind of the way it works out. 00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:51.520 I want to do about 30 minute episodes. 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.320 Typically do 10 to 15 minutes, sometimes 20 if I'm really passionate about something, and 00:00:57.320 --> 00:00:59.560 then I move on to the next topic. 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:11.320 The last time I broke fucking character, I should say, and did an episode unlike what 00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:18.080 we usually do here at Missing Throwup Radio was when that Ukrainian girl got stabbed in her 00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:20.640 fucking neck, and then Charlie Kirk got killed. 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.360 I spent about 30 seconds on Charlie Kirk. 00:01:23.360 --> 00:01:30.040 That episode was basically me lamenting the fact that we live in a place where A something 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:35.440 like that could happen, and B, a significant portion of the population is kind of okay with 00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:36.440 it. 00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:37.440 Right? 00:01:37.440 --> 00:01:45.200 So that's the last time I really broke character and did something outside of my comfort 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:46.360 zone. 00:01:46.360 --> 00:01:48.560 This is another one of those times. 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.640 I guess the best way to start off talking about what I'm going to talk to you about today 00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:01.400 is to tell you, I'm in a moment of frank, complete honesty, I don't keep people. 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:06.840 I don't, and that's really the most plain way I can fucking say it. 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.640 I don't keep people. 00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:11.680 I don't collect people. 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.320 I don't hoard people. 00:02:14.320 --> 00:02:17.280 I don't have any long term friends. 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.960 And a lot of people meet folks in, let's say high school or college, and they become 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:29.000 there a long time life, long, and they play softball or they go fucking bowling or they 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:31.800 join a union together or some shit like that. 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.040 They attend church together. 00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:39.200 They become mason's or whatever, or whatever normal people do. 00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:40.200 I don't do that. 00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:41.200 I've met tons of people. 00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:44.840 I've connected with tons of people throughout the course of my life. 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:53.520 And then, life changes or geography changes or the job changes. 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.000 And once they're gone, they're just gone. 00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.160 I don't write them off. 00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:00.480 I, don't forgetーダ about them. 00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:05.840 But I also have this deep-seated desire to never be a problem. 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.440 And it comes from my radio days, honestly. 00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:11.080 This is a character flaw. 00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:15.800 I, you know, everyone's on the fucking spectrum nowadays, right? 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.500 Everybody's got the fucking reason why they're unique or they're fitting into this particular 00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:21.800 fucking niche category. 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:27.740 I don't know what you would call this, but I remember sitting in the office manager's 00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:31.560 office in her phone rang and she looked at the fucking phone. 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.320 It was when back in the fucking day when everybody had those indestructible Nokia phones, she 00:03:37.320 --> 00:03:40.520 looked at her phone and she rolled her eyes and she goes, God damn. 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:46.080 And she takes the call and she's just as pleasant and sweet as she could possibly be. 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.960 In the moment she hung up, her face dropped back. 00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:53.780 Back into that of utter disgust and she kind of tossed her phone down on the desk and she 00:03:53.780 --> 00:03:57.400 said something like, why can't people just move on? 00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:58.840 And I was like, what do you mean? 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.840 And she goes, she hasn't worked here in five years and she still calls me like we're 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:03.840 best friends. 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.080 I'm not going to say that that was a watershed moment, but it's something that stuck 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.000 with me from that moment on. 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.080 I don't keep people because that moment sitting in that fucking dopey broad's office really 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.520 resonated with me. 00:04:16.520 --> 00:04:17.760 It really stuck with me. 00:04:17.760 --> 00:04:18.760 It plagued me. 00:04:18.760 --> 00:04:22.320 And I remember saying to her, God damn, I hope you don't ever roll your fucking eyes like 00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:23.760 that one I call someday. 00:04:23.760 --> 00:04:26.600 And she goes, oh, I would never do that to you. 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:27.600 Yeah. 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.100 Why not? 00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:32.680 What the fuck makes me any different than you ever the fuck that was on the phone? 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:34.160 That moment stuck with me. 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.760 And from that moment on, you can say Lorenzo doesn't keep people because I don't want to 00:04:39.760 --> 00:04:40.760 be a bother. 00:04:40.760 --> 00:04:45.980 I don't ever want to be the person that fucking calls and you roll your eyes at, put on a 00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:49.040 fucking happy face and take the call. 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:55.080 So when the environment changes, when whatever brought us together to connect on whatever 00:04:55.080 --> 00:05:02.080 level is altered, changed or severed, I just fade away into the background. 00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:04.320 I become somebody that you used to know. 00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:09.840 I guess you'd call that insecurity or questioning my own self worth. 00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:10.840 Maybe it is. 00:05:10.840 --> 00:05:11.840 I don't fucking know. 00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:18.320 I just哦 that once I move on or you move on from a job or a town or a situation, I'm 00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:19.320 gonna fade away. 00:05:19.320 --> 00:05:22.560 I'm gonna fade slowly out of your life. 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.320 It's never a blow up. 00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:28.480 There's never a shatter point where you have to decide whether or not you want to continue 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:29.480 knowing me. 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.440 It's never fucking unpleasant. 00:05:32.440 --> 00:05:35.360 I just quietly fade away. 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.600 I say all that to say this. 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:42.200 Throughout the course of this podcast episode, you're going to hear me refer to people as 00:05:42.200 --> 00:05:43.200 my friend. 00:05:43.200 --> 00:05:49.520 I had a friend or I have a friend or this guy I know understand that I no longer know 00:05:49.520 --> 00:05:50.520 them. 00:05:50.520 --> 00:05:55.880 They're in the past, some in the recent past, some in the distant past. 00:05:55.880 --> 00:05:58.120 They're people that I used to know. 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:04.880 Some of them may not even remember my fucking name, but conversations that we've had or interactions 00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:10.920 that we've had have stuck with me and I would still consider them to be a friend. 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:15.320 It sounds really fucking sad and lonely when I say that, but it's not. 00:06:15.320 --> 00:06:17.520 I'm leading up to something here, bear with me. 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:20.000 A friend of mine recently passed away. 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.560 I say passed away because it's not like he had a fucking car accident or fell off a building 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.480 or had a heart attack having sex with a hooker or something like that. 00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:15.600 If you grabbed him up a couple days before he died and said, hey, there 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.520 is this fucking guy named Lorenzo who counts you 00:07:18.520 --> 00:07:19.520 not. 00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:20.520 Go. 00:07:20.520 --> 00:07:23.840 But I read his obituary and this has really bothered me. 00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:27.760 It's been bothering me for a week ever since I read his obit. 00:07:27.760 --> 00:07:29.800 It's been weighing on my mind. 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.640 This man died peacefully in his sleep. 00:07:32.640 --> 00:07:36.680 He is survived by his wife and his two kids who loved him dearly. 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.640 He will be remembered fondly as someone who was absolutely at the pinnacle of their fucking 00:07:41.640 --> 00:07:44.480 craft and their professional life. 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.600 Donations can be made here and whatnot. 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.600 But what bothered me is this. 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.440 Yes, he is survived by his wife. 00:07:52.440 --> 00:07:55.560 He had not lived with his wife for 40 years. 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.120 They were estranged. 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.560 They were not divorced. 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:00.560 That's true. 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.040 They weren't. 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:07.000 But it was not a fucking closely guarded secret that this man was gay. 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.640 He was one of those old school. 00:08:09.640 --> 00:08:12.480 Never really came out of the closet. 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.800 But everyone knew. 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:14.800 We all knew. 00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:16.400 We all knew the man was gay. 00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:19.120 He had a partner, a lifelong partner. 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:35.740 He wasn't out there fucking hitting the fucking hot tub 00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:44.220 but it bothered me in a way that it's taken me almost a week to classify. 00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:47.660 He was gay as queer as a three dollar bill. 00:08:47.660 --> 00:08:49.020 We never talked about it. 00:08:49.020 --> 00:08:50.140 We never discussed it. 00:08:50.140 --> 00:08:51.740 He never came out of the closet. 00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:53.660 But everyone knew he was gay. 00:08:53.660 --> 00:08:56.420 Everyone knew that the guy he lived with was not his roommate. 00:08:56.420 --> 00:08:57.780 He was his partner. 00:08:57.780 --> 00:08:59.260 They went everywhere together. 00:08:59.260 --> 00:09:01.020 They were seen all over town. 00:09:01.020 --> 00:09:05.060 They were never seen holding hands or making out in public or wearing fucking rainbow 00:09:05.060 --> 00:09:07.100 t-shirts or anything like that. 00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:13.300 And what bothered me about his obituary was the fact that the man that he chose to spend 00:09:13.300 --> 00:09:16.660 his life with was not mentioned in the open. 00:09:16.660 --> 00:09:20.940 And I wonder how many people read that fucking obituary who knew him because he was a very 00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:28.220 popular dude, very well known throughout the state and in the industry he was in, I'm 00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:31.780 going to say nationally at least regionally famous. 00:09:31.780 --> 00:09:38.340 I wonder how many people read that obituary and said, well where's Brian's name? 00:09:38.340 --> 00:09:41.260 Why is Brian been left out of the fucking obit? 00:09:41.260 --> 00:09:46.180 And it's not like I was reading the obituary waiting for them to fucking mention Brian 00:09:46.180 --> 00:09:52.740 with the family saying and survived, you know, survived by his wife, his two kids. 00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:55.500 And Brian, his gay lover. 00:09:55.500 --> 00:10:00.780 And Brian, his catchers met and Brian, his fucking giz pocket. 00:10:00.780 --> 00:10:04.060 I didn't think that they were going to fucking out him like that in the newspaper. 00:10:04.060 --> 00:10:06.060 You know what I mean? 00:10:06.060 --> 00:10:12.140 But I did kind of expect there to be something to suggest that Brian was an important part 00:10:12.140 --> 00:10:21.060 of this man's life and survived by, you know, wife, two kids and best friend Brian or lifelong 00:10:21.060 --> 00:10:25.100 pal Brian or just goddamn Brian. 00:10:25.100 --> 00:10:27.020 Why didn't they put Brian in there? 00:10:27.020 --> 00:10:28.180 It's been weighing on me. 00:10:28.180 --> 00:10:29.460 It's been fucking bothering me. 00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:31.940 It's actually bothering me quite a bit. 00:10:31.940 --> 00:10:35.420 You know, I talk a lot of shit on missing through a radio. 00:10:35.420 --> 00:10:36.420 I do. 00:10:36.420 --> 00:10:37.420 I do. 00:10:37.420 --> 00:10:38.420 I do. 00:10:38.420 --> 00:10:39.420 I do. 00:10:39.420 --> 00:10:40.420 I do. 00:10:40.420 --> 00:10:41.420 I do. 00:10:41.420 --> 00:10:42.420 I do. 00:10:42.420 --> 00:10:43.420 I do. 00:10:43.420 --> 00:10:44.420 I do. 00:10:44.420 --> 00:10:45.420 I do. 00:10:45.420 --> 00:10:46.420 I do. 00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:47.420 I do. 00:10:47.540 --> 00:10:48.920 I 00:10:48.920 --> 00:10:49.920 I do. 00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:50.920 I do. 00:10:50.920 --> 00:10:51.920 I do. 00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:52.920 I do. 00:10:52.920 --> 00:10:53.920 I do. 00:10:53.920 --> 00:10:54.920 I do. 00:10:54.920 --> 00:10:55.920 I do. 00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:56.920 I do. 00:10:56.920 --> 00:10:57.920 I do. 00:10:57.920 --> 00:10:58.920 I do. 00:10:58.920 --> 00:10:59.920 I do. 00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:00.920 I do. 00:11:00.920 --> 00:11:01.920 I do. 00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:02.920 I do. 00:11:02.920 --> 00:11:03.920 I do. 00:11:30.920 --> 00:11:37.680 is this. This man was deeply religious and also gay. He went to church every Sunday and took 00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:44.880 a very active role in his church every Sunday but was also gay. Attended church faithfully 00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:52.920 sang in the choir with his partner and was also both of them extraordinarily gay but when 00:11:52.920 --> 00:11:59.680 it came time when the man was dead and he had the opportunity to make sure that the people 00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:07.920 who survived him extolled the virtues of this man Brian who he gave 40 fucking plus years 00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:13.900 of his 00:12:13.900 --> 00:12:38.900 did not. 00:12:38.900 --> 00:12:44.460 It was never going to go to the fucking funeral but one of the factors that kept me away from this 00:12:44.460 --> 00:12:52.620 funeral, was I could not go and watch that fucking farce play out. This man's wife is a great lady 00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:56.940 and his kids I'm sure are fucking wonderful and that's great but they're gonna sit there 00:12:56.940 --> 00:13:00.660 and they're gonna fold the fucking flag and they're going to hand it to her and she's 00:13:00.660 --> 00:13:06.260 gonna be weeping all in black bitch you haven't lived with him in 50 fucking years and I 00:13:06.260 --> 00:13:13.020 did not want to be there to see Brian standing in the fucking back all dressed in black with 00:13:13.020 --> 00:13:18.940 fucking sunglasses and an umbrella. You know what I mean because we couldn't fucking publicly 00:13:18.940 --> 00:13:25.380 acknowledge the fact that this man was gay less there be shame cast upon the family. Everybody 00:13:25.380 --> 00:13:32.300 fucking knew it was the worst kept secret in the Midwest. Everyone fucking knew he was gay 00:13:32.380 --> 00:13:37.740 everybody and I didn't want to have to see Brian standing in the back or standing to the side 00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:43.260 quietly fucking grieving the loss of the man he loved more than anyone else in the world. 00:13:43.260 --> 00:13:48.620 I didn't want to fucking I didn't want to see that probably was never gonna go anyway but I 00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:54.860 definitely was not gonna go watch that the moment I read that obituary and saw that his life 00:13:54.860 --> 00:14:01.340 partner had been excluded from that obituary I immediately played out in my mind the bullshit 00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:05.820 that his funeral was gonna be and I wasn't gonna go watch that happen. These people were raised 00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:13.820 in a time when being gay was shameful when it was a mortal sin. Hell it may be I don't fucking know 00:14:13.820 --> 00:14:20.220 and that kind of brings me to what I want to talk to you about today religion and my problem with 00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:27.020 it all of the conflicting emotions and intersecting and contradictory thoughts that I have and 00:14:27.020 --> 00:14:35.020 experiences I guess that I have that pertain to religion I've been a lot of places lived in a lot 00:14:35.020 --> 00:14:40.780 of places seen a lot of people met a lot of people known a lot of people experienced a lot of different 00:14:40.780 --> 00:14:47.980 religions firsthand and in the case of this man he lived his life in the shadows and never publicly 00:14:47.980 --> 00:14:56.380 acknowledged who he really was not even in death and in the case of this man I put the blame for him 00:14:56.380 --> 00:15:03.420 feeling like he needed to conceal himself squarely on the shoulders of a society that bows to 00:15:03.420 --> 00:15:09.980 religion you know one of the things I hear people say all the time is that they have a fundamental 00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:15.020 issue with going to church because of the people the people make fucking church fucked up and they 00:15:15.020 --> 00:15:20.380 hate church because of the people right and if you've listened to missing throw-per-ity 00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:26.380 over in 2.0 for any fucking period of time you know that I can't stand people on a fundamental 00:15:26.380 --> 00:15:34.600 level it almost doesn't matter what people do 00:15:35.400 --> 00:15:43.320 he was an avid churchgoer loved his church gave his time talent and treasure to his church family 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:52.200 my question is this why would an organization like a Christian church accept the time talent and 00:15:52.200 --> 00:16:01.400 treasure of a man who is obviously clearly and not very secretly gay why would they do that 00:16:01.400 --> 00:16:08.920 I want you to take a 700 foot view of Christianity with me the bible is very clear very clear 00:16:08.920 --> 00:16:16.360 on what God's stance is on homosexuality very clear there's not much room for misinterpretation 00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:20.280 I guess I could sit here and thumb through the fucking bible for you and give you all the different 00:16:20.280 --> 00:16:22.320 passages telling you that if you're 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:29.560 fucking gay you're going to fucking burn in a lake of fire if you're fucking gay you are damn 00:16:29.800 --> 00:16:35.480 eternally okay I mean I guess I guess I could do that but I don't really research here on 00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:40.120 misanthroofradio you know what I mean I was so I've never done it before so why would I start now 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:47.720 if you grew up with a Christian background like I did you know that the bible is very fucking clear 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:56.600 on homosexuality so I understand why a gay man would want to go to church I get it it's for a 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:02.920 sense of community and it's for the belief that God loves everyone even if he doesn't love what 00:17:02.920 --> 00:17:08.680 you do so I don't question why this man was involved in his church I totally get it and I don't 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:14.600 necessarily even question why the church allowed him to become a member if you are an organization 00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:21.320 whose entire goal is to bring people in off the streets educate them in the ways of your religion 00:17:21.320 --> 00:17:27.000 so they can share eternal life with you you're going to accept to accept anyone who comes with an 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:32.840 open heart I understand that piece too I get it I understand why he went and I understand why they 00:17:32.840 --> 00:17:42.680 let him stay my problem is this why would an organization whose textbook says in numerous places 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:51.240 throughout its pages what God's stance is on homosexuality why would that organization accept 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:58.440 the time talent and treasure of someone that they know is gay but that's what they did he gave 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:06.120 tons of fucking money to this church he gave tons of money and tons of his time and tons of his talent 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:14.440 to this church why would they accept that if they were real if they were honest with themselves 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:19.000 and if they were honestly trying to live according to the tenants of the book that they 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:25.960 extol is the exact fucking word of God why would they accept the time talent and treasure of someone 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:32.280 that they know according to their teachings is going to burn in hell why would they do that 00:18:32.280 --> 00:18:37.080 it doesn't make any fucking sense I ended like I said I understand why they let him stay they're 00:18:37.080 --> 00:18:42.920 hoping that he will repent and see the light I understand why he went he wants to just fucking 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:49.080 belong and he doesn't believe he's damned and honestly I don't know that it's even their place to 00:18:49.080 --> 00:18:53.720 tell him you could make the case that they should have met him at the door and been like we know that 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:58.520 you are one of them fucking gays you can just turn around and take your faggot ass right 00:18:58.520 --> 00:19:04.440 back to your truck on one hand it would make perfect sense for them to do that and there's maybe 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:08.600 even a little bit of fucking respect you got to have for an organization that's going to live that 00:19:08.600 --> 00:19:15.480 fucking gangster you know an organization that believes their shit is the truth so much that 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:20.440 they're willing to fucking turn people away who 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:25.400 who live a lifestyle contrary to what they believe to the 00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:30.520 I don't necessarily agree with that but I do think it's hypocritical and even a little predatory 00:19:30.520 --> 00:19:37.560 to accept the time talent and treasure from a man that you know according to your 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:44.920 religion's textbook is damned to hell but they did they took every 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:51.560 fucking time he gave happily they happily took that money and from what I'm told he gave a 00:19:51.560 --> 00:19:58.200 significant portion of his fortune to that church over the course of time it's dishonest 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:04.520 and it's dishonest in a very fucking gross upsetting way chasing the almighty dollar 00:20:04.520 --> 00:20:09.000 is what it feels like to me from the outside looking in now I don't want you to think that this is 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:16.040 an anti-Christianity rant that I'm on here because it's not all I'm saying if I'm saying anything 00:20:16.040 --> 00:20:26.920 is that the man 00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:36.440 is shame attached to their lifestyle in a society that was founded on Christian principles and that 00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:43.640 Christian church willingly accepted all of the time talent and treasure that the recently departed 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:51.400 had to give this man was gay I'm even relatively confident that he and his partner Brian attended 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:59.160 this church together that's how open they were in their relationship they just didn't fucking 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:05.080 make out in public and when it came time for this organization to celebrate this motherfucker's life 00:21:05.080 --> 00:21:11.560 they excluded the person that he chose to spend his life with simply because society has been 00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:17.880 taught to think a certain way about people of that lifestyle by the very organization that accepted 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:25.720 all of his time talent and treasure what the fuck and no one is really I don't think outraged 00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:30.760 except me the few people I've tried to talk to about this are just like yeah it's fucked up but 00:21:30.760 --> 00:21:35.800 you know that's just the way it is no it's not okay I'm not just gonna fucking wave it off as one 00:21:35.800 --> 00:21:41.400 of those things that we just need to accept this as fucking reality why the fuck is it like this 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:47.240 if you're not gonna fucking accept the man wholly into your fucking church that don't fucking 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:53.240 accept him at all certainly don't accept his money a Christian organization if they were being 00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:59.640 honest would have sat down and had a meeting with this man when he decided to join that church 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:04.440 and just laid it all out there in the open and the conversation would have gone something like this 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:10.680 you know we really appreciate that you chose us we want you to be here we love seeing you walk 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:15.160 through those doors let's just get down to brass tacks here and lay all our fucking cards on the 00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:20.360 table we all know your gay everyone in the world knows your gay you're the gayest man in America okay 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:27.320 we want you here we want you to be part of the congregation we want you to come here and worship 00:22:27.320 --> 00:22:34.360 the Lord with us however because of your lifestyle and the fact that our textbook the foundation of 00:22:34.360 --> 00:22:34.680 our very organization says that you are in fact eternally damned 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:42.680 to hell we cannot accept your time talent and treasure so keep your money and you can't be on any 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:48.920 committees and that's probably fucked up to say but we would be betraying our tenants and what we 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:56.920 hold is true if we allowed you to throw a bunch of money at us and give us your time other than that 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:02.760 though welcome coffee and donuts after church and we do not have time to do that and we do not have 00:23:02.760 --> 00:23:07.080 coffee and donuts after church and we do have Sunday school and it's pretty instructive we think that 00:23:07.080 --> 00:23:13.720 you you will enjoy the lessons good talk and if he was then willing to participate in that church 00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:19.240 under those terms then fucking great but at least everything was being done honestly in above board 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:23.480 you know I don't know I don't know that I'm making any fucking sense at all all I know for sure is 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:28.520 that it fucking rub me the wrong way the whole fucking thing rub me the wrong way and I'm not even 00:23:28.520 --> 00:23:33.160 saying that Christianity is a bad fucking option I think it's great especially when you compare it to 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:39.960 other world religions fucking Hindus are nuts okay have you ever interacted with honest to god Hindus 00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:46.840 like devout Hindus those motherfuckers I had a conversation with a guy named Sherwin he was an Indian from 00:23:46.840 --> 00:23:52.760 India and I made some kind of fucking off handed comment about the Ganges River being the most polluted 00:23:52.760 --> 00:23:59.080 body of water in the world and he stood there and looked me directly in my face and said no it's not 00:23:59.080 --> 00:24:06.200 it is the pure tears of Ganesha or some shit like that I don't remember the fucking god associated with 00:24:22.760 --> 00:24:28.280 water in the world I said are you joking and he said no I said bro I've seen footage of the 00:24:28.280 --> 00:24:34.680 fucking Ganges River it's a constant flow of fucking trash and incidentally the occasional dead body 00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:40.680 floating down river but Hindus are so fucking delusional they will stand in the Ganges River 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:46.040 amidst fucking dead bodies floating by and fucking piles of trash and dead manities and it's in 00:24:46.040 --> 00:24:51.880 shit and look you right in your face and tell you know this is the most pure and sacred water in the 00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:57.560 world completely fucking delusional okay so if you're not gonna be a Hindu and Christianity is not 00:24:57.560 --> 00:25:05.160 for you what is there Islam okay Muslims are obviously insane okay oh that hang on but are they 00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:16.840 Islam is 1394 years old Christianity is 2000 years old only in the last 200 or so years has Christianity 00:25:16.840 --> 00:25:22.600 stopped being fucking crazy so if we're going to use Christianity as a template for the 00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:29.800 maturation of a world religion we have about 400 more years of Muslims be heading in the delus and 00:25:29.800 --> 00:25:35.560 stoning chicks who've seen more than one penis before they fucking chill out a little bit because 00:25:35.560 --> 00:25:42.120 the first 1600 years or so of Christianity was off the fucking chain lest we not forget where the 00:25:42.120 --> 00:25:47.000 fuck we came from all right I think I'm just gonna fucking go ahead and stick up fork in this 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:53.480 episode of Misenthroperadio this really kind of isn't what I wanted to do but I sat down to record 00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:56.980 Misenthroperadio first of all I talked about how I was 00:25:56.980 --> 00:26:02.280 sick yet again that didn't make the cut and then I went into talking about government I definitely 00:26:02.280 --> 00:26:08.200 don't want to fucking talk about politics I'm taking a fucking step back away from that by the way 00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:14.360 I got caught up in the fucking news cycle accidentally again for about two weeks and I really 00:26:14.360 --> 00:26:18.200 started to fucking care about what's going on with the government shutdown and shit like that and I 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:23.800 had a fucking moment of clarity and I was like okay wait hold on that's not in your fucking 00:26:23.800 --> 00:26:28.680 wheelhouse you're not interested in that don't fucking talk about this on Misenthroperadio 00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:35.640 but when that friend of mine died and I saw that obituary I kind of flew off the rails a little bit 00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:43.320 and I just I couldn't sit I couldn't make myself sit down and tell dick jokes and be stupid it 00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:48.040 doesn't have to be dick jokes all the time thanks for listening until next time
