Preaching Against a Sponge

Some preachers think that Spongebob Squarepants is gay and they'd like to see him be 
expunged.
Instead of preaching against rape, murder and other problems, they preach against a 
sponge.
I use sponges to clean my tub but I don't believe that they're gay.
If I did believe that, the men in white coats would take me away.
They preach against a cartoon character who isn't even real.
When they preach against such a thing, it has no appeal.
These preachers should find other things to preach against.
Preaching that a sponge is gay makes absolutely no sense.

(THIS IS A TRUE STORY.)

What an excellent rebuke to clergy who are unable to distinguish reality from fantasy! It makes an important point and is also very amusing. Thanks for sharing. Elton Camp
