No Comment! VeggieTales Creator Phil Vischer Refuses to Publicly Condemn Same-Sex Marriage
VeggieTales creator and Holy Post podcast host Phil Vischer has gotten beat up on social media over the last few days, and with good reason. The shots have been coming after he criticized a conservative TV network for not featuring LBGTQ characters in films, then compared christians who oppose legal same-sex marriage to ‘confederate theologians’, using his best smarmy voice to castigate those he disagrees with.
This is on top of knocking creationists as a bunch of dummies, crediting his white privilege for the success of his show, claiming he didn’t know there were such things black Christians until he was an adult, thumbing his nose at “Cracker Barrel Christians,” getting upset at Christians for opposing LGBTQ, and coming out as pro-choice, has a burr in his saddle.
But Vischer took exception to the criticism he received about same-sex marriage, pushing back on claims that he has an unbiblical or unscriptural view of homosexuality and same-sex marriage. You can see much of that interaction here. Vischer typically has a whole lot to say about everything, but when specifically pressed to share his view on the sin of same-sex ‘marriage’ by @WokePreacherTV, on what should be a very easy, no-brainer question to answer, Vischer went strangely silent.
Unsurprisingly, he did what progressives usually do when cornered theologically on matters they don’t want to publicly divulge, lest they get #farewellrobbelled by the evangelical machine; offered to talk about it in private, away from prying eyes because it was “too sensitive” of a subject to discuss publicly.
WPTV: “If 2 professing Christians of the same sex become romantically involved, abstain from sexual activity until they are legally married, and live together monogamously for their entire lives, has a sin occurred?”
Vischer: “Not the topic of the thread or the show.”
WPTV: “Too sensitive of a subject, I see.”
Vischer: “For Twitter, yes. Happy to have coffee and discuss.”
We called this trajectory years ago. What a coward.
