Summary
In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, we begin by finally tackling the age-old question, "If you're blind, how much does it matter if your spouse is hot or not?" As you may guess, a query of this magnitude has multiple layers of nuance, but we do give our best shot at an answer. We then resist a caller's temptation to try to steal food from the mouth of a homeless, as well as engage with another caller about the difficulty of wanting to be yourself in public but not being free to. Another listener suggests a "new way" to conceive of God and Christianity, about which our resident agnostic is uncertain and doubtful (shocking, we know). We briefly discuss the thorny issue of "stumbling our weaker brother" before we dive into our main topic: the refugee crisis in Europe and throughout much of the world (and you'll never guess which segment of society has found a way to be on the wrong side of yet another issue!). Christian shares his thoughts on our obviously Islamophile president, while Jason tells a heart-wrenching story about being robbed of positive male role models. Christian is biebered when people are no longer marginalized but celebrated, while Jason's bieber will leave you on the edge of your seat clinging to his every word.
Also, marshmallows with a nice chemical topping? Yummmmm….
