The Babylon Bee is a satire site, and they point to the great defect in Christian thought while trying to satirize those upbeat, over-enthusiastic preachers who can’t get to the end of a sentence without using ‘awesome:’ If you don’t believe in Original Sin, if you don’t believe you’re an utterly worthless piece of dung and the bald fact of your putrid existence offends the cosmos itself, Christianity doesn’t have anything on offer. Except the companionship of other insecure people, I mean.
Basically, the Bee is complaining that preachers don’t spend enough time telling people that they’re no damn good.
There is simply no way to escape the bottom line: Christianity is predatory and exploits the insecure.
