Listen Later

What do a mediocre megachurch pastor, Mike Huckabee, and the Babylon Bee have in common? They say all the world's a stage.... Evangelical leaders have taken full advantage of that fact to infuse their "message" with "comedy". Or are they infusing their "comedy" with a message? And when that message is riddled with sexism, what does that say about these supposed Christians?
