For example, I don’t like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.
But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It’s such a cozy movie.

So then how are you confused by them sharing their faith this way?
Did I say I was confused?
I am put off by it, I find it concerning, inappropriate, performative, disingenuous.
You show you are confused by the last line in your post. Why would you think this would need tocome from the clergy given your history of fundie christianity? Were you in one of the weird ones that doesn’t evangelize?
No, its because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Has he gone to seminary?
Has he been ordained?
Is he certified in any kind of theological field?
To my knowledge, no, he isn’t.
He’s no different from any other celeb promoting any other thing which they barely understand, like Madonna with Kabala.
I find it weird precisely because I would be more inclined to listen to an actual expert over a popular, pretty face.
…
I am not confused in the sense of ‘why would he do this?’
Thats easy: He is being performatively, publically Christian, which ironically, is something you can find scripture to tell you that that’s not a thing you should be doing.
…
But what is a Protestant doing promoting Lent, anyway?
Its fucking wierd, it would be like Marky Mark promoting Mormon diet restrictions.
Very, very rare to see any kind of ecumenism coming from American Protestant Christians, they usually hate the fuck out of Catholics, or just barely tolerate them, call them polytheists and the Church of The Beast after the Catholics have left the room.
