Speaker Johnson Done For...

[seer]

Oh the horror!

Mike Johnson is a board member of a Christian publishing house that called ‘monkeypox’ a penalty for being gay

House Speaker Mike Johnson sits on the board of a Christian publishing house that suggested getting “monkeypox” was “an inevitable and appropriate penalty” for being gay and that former President Barack Obama was rumored to be the Antichrist because of his “leanings toward Islam.”

For the last decade, Johnson has been a member of the board of Living Waters Publications, a Christian ministry and publishing house. The speaker has interviewed founder and CEO Ray Comfort on his and his wife’s now-deleted podcast.

Last year, Comfort narrated a Living Waters video, titled “Monkeypox and God: Is It a ‘Gay Disease’?” in which he quoted Biblical scripture saying that those who engaged in homosexual acts would get “in their own bodies the inevitable and appropriate penalty for their wrongdoing.” (The virus was previously known as monkeypox, but last year the World Health Organization changed the name to mpox, saying the term monkeypox could be seen as stigmatizing and racist.)

Who knew that the WHO was a right wing bigoted organization!

Comfort on the intelligent design of bananas:

The Cavendish banana is, technically, intelligently designed as humans intelligently cultivated them.

Comfort on the intelligent design of bananas:

Well as a Christian I believe that it was all intelligently designed...

Oh the horror!

Does that make AIDS the "straight disease" given the overwhelming majority of cases around the world are in straight folks?

So he was right after all? The banana is the result of intelligent design.

Well in the case of the monkey pox, again: WHO recommends gay and bisexual men limit sexual partners to reduce the spread of monkeypox

Comfort does, too, but he specifically thought the banana had an obvious teleology that couldn’t have evolved:

• The banana is shaped to fit into the human hand.
• It comes with a protective, non-slip surface to hold, which is also biodegradable and sits "gracefully" over the human hand.
• It is curved towards the face for ease of consumption and does not squirt in one's face during the act.
• There is a "pull tab" at the "top" for easy access.
• It has a simple "colour code" to show ripeness: Green, too early. Yellow, just right. Black, too late.

He backpedaled after discovering the wild banana had teleological problems:

Comfort apologized for his mistake about the banana, saying 'My apologies for not explaining myself more clearly, I was not aware that the common banana had been so modified through hybridization.’

I always though the banana thing was weak tea. Cute - but weak...

[whag]

So he was right after all? The banana is the result of intelligent design.

No, Comfort’s intent was to highlight God’s intelligence not human intelligence. He called the grocery store banana the “atheist’s nightmare” and had no intention of inadvertently promoting evolutionary biology and destroying his own teleological view.

It was a *chef’s kiss* of a self-own.

[whag]

I always though the banana thing was weak tea. Cute - but weak...

Weak tea as in “bad argument”?

[seer]

Weak tea as in “bad argument”?

Yes, the connection or assumption was weak...
