Democrats: Charlie Kirk is a Racist, Fascist, Homophobe Bigot (but Let’s NOT Go to the Tapes to Prove It)

Christ before the Sanhedrin (Wikipedia commons)

The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his doctrine. Jesus answered him saying:

“I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area where the Jews gather and in secret I have said nothing. Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.”

When he said this, one of the temple guards standing there struck him and said: “Is this the way you answer the High Priest?” Jesus answered him:

“If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong, but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”

John 18:19-23

As everyone knows Charlie Kirk was a follower of Jesus Christ and it seems they had one thing in common.

Jesus was accused of all sorts of wrong by the Sanhedrin but despite speaking publicly in front of multitudes they were unable to find testimony that showed him guilty of anything.

Likewise we see Democrats from AOC to Ilan Omar along with multiple celebs and activists on the left claim that Charlie Kirk was a racist, a fascist, a homophobe and a white supremacist, they call him head of the modern Hitler youth, when they’re not cheering his murder that is or booing the idea of praying for him & his family.

But there is one thing that they DON’T do. They never link to video to back up these claims.

This is rather odd if you think about it. Charlie Kirk like Christ, spoke openly, he was at campus’ all over the nation and was interviewed all over the world. There are literally hundreds of videos showing him taking questions and answering them going back years. You don’t have to ask the people who heard him as Christ suggested, you can literally see what he said.

Yet none of these leftist calling Kirk all these names do so, why?

Well the answer comes from Catholic Cardinal who had no idea who Charlie Kirk was.


Here is the quote:

Timothy Cardinal Dolan on Charlie Kirk – “The more I learned about him, I thought this guy is a modern-day Saint Paul. He was a missionary, an evangelist, a hero.”

You see not knowing who Charlie was and not being familiar with his work he went online and checked out the videos and came to the conclusion that he was a hero.

And THAT’S why the left doesn’t dare link to any video to support their charges, because a person seeing the videos, the questions and the answers will see for themselves that their charges are unsubstantiated by the facts and that they are in fact liars.

The irony here is that Charlie, being very familiar with scripture would expect nothing less because as a servant of Christ he would remember the warning given to his disciples during the last supper discourses:

If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you.

Remember the word I spoke to you,  ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me also hates my Father.

John 15:18-23

The world hated Charlie Kirk, because the world is loyal to the prince of the world. That’s why those loyal to the prince of this world cheered his death loudly and publicly.

The Fake Grok Mel Brooks 2000 Year old Man on the rise of Christianity and Bacon

Scholars Believe Explosive Growth Of The Early Church Was Due To Christians Being Allowed To Eat Bacon (Babylon Bee who thought of it 1st)

AI Generated 1st Century Christians eating Bacon Strips

As a rule I don’t trust Grok for anything actually important or for opinions. The one time I did try to trust it to work on a baseball schedule for me it messed it up completely, when I pointed out the mistakes it apologized and made a new schedule with different mistakes till I just said forget it.

However it excels on stuff that isn’t important that can be funny. A few days ago I imagined Mel Brooks as the 2000 year old man explaining how BACON was the actual secret to the rise of Christianity.

Since Mel is actually nearing 2000 years old I figured he wasn’t up to doing it himself and Carl Reiner his straight man is suffering from a chronic case of death I decided that this was a task that Grok could do.

The result wasn’t perfect. Brooks’ 2000 year old man would never used “the interviewer’s” first name and and some of the jokes were a tad repetitive but what Grok spat out was not a bad first draft.

So if you’re curious (and even if you’re not) here it is:

My question to Grok:

based on the original 2000 year old man recordings staring Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks as the 2000 year man give me the script for a 3-6 minute exchange where Reiner questions Brooks on how Christianity ended so popular worldwide despite early persecution with Brooks final conclusion being it was all because of Bacon and how delicious it was.

Here is Grok’s answer unabridged:

Below is a 3-6 minute comedic script inspired by the style of Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks’ 2000 Year Old Man recordings. It captures their playful, improvisational dynamic, with Reiner as the straight-man interviewer and Brooks as the ancient, wisecracking 2000 Year Old Man. The exchange focuses on the rise of Christianity despite early persecution, culminating in Brooks’ absurd conclusion that bacon was the key to its success. The dialogue is written to feel spontaneous, peppered with Brooks’ characteristic Yiddish-inflected humor and Reiner’s dry probing, aiming for a runtime of roughly 4-5 minutes when performed at their typical pace.

Carl Reiner (Interviewer): Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with the 2000 Year Old Man, a man who has lived through centuries of human history. Sir, you’ve seen empires rise and fall, religions come and go. I want to ask you about Christianity. It started as a small movement, heavily persecuted by the Romans, yet it spread across the world. How did it get so popular despite all that opposition?

Mel Brooks (2000 Year Old Man): (in a thick, gravelly Yiddish accent) Oh, Christianity, yeah, yeah, I was there! Persecution, schmecsecution! You wanna know the real story? It’s not what you think, Carl. It wasn’t the sermons, it wasn’t the miracles, it wasn’t even the “love thy neighbor” stuff—although that was a nice touch, very catchy. No, no, no. It was bacon.

Reiner: Bacon? Wait a minute, sir, are you saying—

Brooks: I’m saying bacon, Carl! B-A-C-O-N, bacon! The greatest food ever invented! You ever smell bacon frying? It’s like God himself is whispering in your nose, “Come to the kitchen, bubbeleh, I got something for ya!” That’s what got Christianity going. Forget the catacombs, forget the martyrs—this was a bacon-based operation.

Reiner: But sir, Christianity emerged from Judaism, which strictly forbids eating pork. How could bacon possibly—

Brooks: (interrupting) Forbidden, shmorbidden! Look, I was around, I saw it happen. Early Christians, they’re hiding in caves, they’re dodging lions, they’re whispering about salvation. But then, one day, some Roman convert—probably a guy named Tony, good guy, big schnoz—he says, “Fellas, I know we’re supposed to stick to the rules, but I snuck some bacon from the market.” And he fries it up. The smell, Carl! The smell! It wafted through the cave like a divine revelation. Suddenly, everybody’s like, “Jesus who? Pass the bacon!”

Reiner: (dryly) So you’re suggesting that the early Christians abandoned kosher dietary laws because of bacon?

Brooks: Abandoned? They didn’t abandon nothin’! They said, “Look, if God didn’t want us to eat bacon, why’d He make it so crispy and delicious?” It was a theological breakthrough! They’re sitting there, munching, and one guy—smart fella, probably a rabbi before he switched teams—he says, “This bacon is so good, we gotta spread this religion to everybody!” And that’s when they started proselytizing. They’d go to a village, hold up a strip of bacon, and say, “Join us, and you get this.” Boom! Converts left and right.

Reiner: But sir, the Romans were feeding Christians to lions! Surely bacon wasn’t enough to overcome that kind of persecution.

Brooks: Lions, shmions! You think a lion’s gonna scare a guy who’s tasted bacon? I saw it myself. A Christian gets thrown in the Colosseum, lion’s roaring, crowd’s cheering, and the Christian pulls out a little piece of bacon from his toga. He waves it at the lion—poof! Lion sits down, wags its tail like a puppy. The crowd goes nuts, they all convert on the spot. “We want what he’s got!” they’re yelling. Bacon was the ultimate PR move.

Reiner: (skeptical) So you’re saying the global spread of Christianity—across Europe, Asia, Africa—was driven by… bacon?

Brooks: Absolutely! Look, Carl, you gotta understand human nature. People don’t join a religion for fancy theology or eternal life—that’s all fine, but it’s abstract, it’s meshuggeh. Bacon is real. You bite it, it crunches, it melts in your mouth. By the time Christianity hit Constantinople, they were building churches with bacon stands out front. You think St. Peter’s Basilica got built on prayers alone? No, they had a bacon cart in the square—two strips for a denarius, best deal in Rome!

Reiner: But what about the spiritual aspects? The teachings of Jesus, the apostles, the—

Brooks: (interrupting) Spiritual, shmiritual! I’m telling ya, Carl, the apostles were smart. They knew bacon was their secret weapon. Paul? That guy was the bacon king! He’d walk into a town, preach a little, then hand out bacon samples. People’d say, “This guy’s got the truth—and a side of crispy!” By the time he left, half the town was Christian, and the other half was just waiting for the next bacon shipment.

Reiner: (deadpan) So your final conclusion is that Christianity’s worldwide success is due to bacon?

Brooks: Final conclusion? Carl, it’s the only conclusion! Bacon was the miracle nobody talks about. You wanna know why Christianity beat out the pagans, the Zoroastrians, the whatevers? Because nobody else had bacon. You try converting someone with a bowl of lentils—good luck! Bacon was the game-changer. And let me tell ya, Carl, to this day, every time I smell bacon frying, I think, “Those Christians, they knew what they were doing.” (pauses, dreamily) Mmm… bacon…

Reiner: (sighs) Thank you, 2000 Year Old Man. That’s… certainly a perspective. Ladies and gentlemen, we’ll be back with more insights from history—or at least, from the kitchen.

With a nod to the Babylon Bee who had the story first:

Five Things For A Good Christian in General and a Good Catholic To Remember on Easter. All Sins Means ALL, In his own good time, But it’s their call, Your own redemption is job 1, Salvation vs Understanding

A list of five bits of Good advice for Christians on Easter Sunday8

  1. Christ’s death and Resurrection paid for the sins of everyone who has ever lived and gave us all a shot at heaven. This includes loony leftists to torch Teslas, Palestinian terrorists who slaughter Jews, Men who think they’re women and the Annoying neighbor whose dog shits on your lawn. He didn’t play favorites, he redeemed everyone, even you.
  2. You have no idea when Christ will choose to touch people and when/if they will respond. There were a fair amount of Pharisees who became Christians and some of them likely were in favor of the Crucifixion before then. You would not have liked Matthew or Mary Magdalene the day before Christ touched them.
  3. In the end you can’t force someone across the finish line. You can warn and advise the foolish bridesmaids as much as you want, you can point them to the oil store and even loan them a few bucks to buy it but it’s their responsibility to be ready.
  4. If you spend all your time focusing on the sins of others you will likely miss your own redemption and be one of those who cried Lord Lord. Don’t be the guy who cries Lord Lord and doesn’t get into heaven.
  5. It’s ok to not understand or to even doubt some things. The disciples who saw Jesus walk on water, raise the dead repeatedly didn’t understand and doubted and they were there. Worry about walking before you run.

None of these are easy to keep in mind or to accept but all of them are Christianity 101

The Feast of Stephen and Two Reminders

Posted: December 26, 2024 by datechguy in catholic, Church doctrine

Today is the Feast of St. Stephen the first Martyr of the Christian faith.

To some it might be an odd thing that the very first thing celebrated after the birth of Christ in the Christmas Season is the slaughter of one of his early followers and one of the first appointed deacons of his Church but it’s an important point in terms of both of why he is killed and how he dies.

When people find themselves unable to assail his arguments for Christ he is accused of blasphemy and when brought forth before the authorities he recounts the history of the Jewish race from God’s call of Abraham to Solomon before finally declaring:

“You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors. Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They put to death those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become. You received the law as transmitted by angels, but you did not observe it.”

And then the words that sent them over the edge

When they heard this, they were infuriated, and they ground their teeth at him. But he, filled with the holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

They instantly take him out and stone him to death yet his final words are:

“Lord, do not hold this sin against them”

Why because he didn’t tell them the truth to condemn them, he told them the truth in order for them to see themselves in the light of truth. To see things as they really are and act accordingly. That’s why even in death he asks for mercy for them and ironically one of those there Saul would soon become the messenger of the Lord who would spread the word of Christ far beyond the Jewish community.

Steven’s death reminds us that it is our duty to speak the truth but to never hate those who are trying to teach. He in his speech and death incorporates most of the Seven Spiritual Works of Mercy:

  • Instructing the Ignorant
  • Admonishing the Sinner
  • Forgiving injuries
  • Bearing wrongs patiently
  • Praying for the Living and the Dead

It’s an important reminder that the following of Christ is not without cost.

The 2nd reminder has little to do with St. Stephen but a lot to do with Christ.

We have an Islamic Iman in Florida claiming that Christians are pagans while at the same time supporters of the Palestinian Arabs are claiming that Jesus is a Palestinian and Christians in Bethlehem are trying to use their position to politicize the birth of Christ.

Meanwhile while at the same time we have writers denying the Palestinian attempt to re-write history and rightly claiming Christ as a Jew while at the same time denying his place in history by terming the numbering system of years as the “common era” rather than AD as if there is no special event that this system is about. Taking the Christ out of the entire Calendar.

Using Jesus as a political football has been a favorite sport of people for centuries but C. S. Lewis’ favorite Devil Screwtape gives a warning about this trend.

Once you have made the World an end, and faith a means, you have almost won your man, and it makes very little difference what kind of worldly end he is pursuing. Provided that meetings, pamphlets, policies, movements, causes, and crusades, matter more to him than prayers and sacraments and charity, he is ours—and the more “religious” (on those terms) the more securely ours. I could show you a pretty cageful down here.
