Such is often wielded by prophets and teachers in Scripture, including Jesus. I know you were writing from a "light-hearted and fun perspective". I know you were not being mean-spirited. Sorry to make you feel defensive. It just made me uncomfortable. I reread it to see if I was simply having one of those "days". Growing up I often heard my grandmother warning "touch not God's anointed". So maybe that is why I don't have a sense of humor this time. We should be able to laugh at ourselves, but I wouldn't want to give the world anymore ammunition. You are right it probably would be a hit. But my children still at home would not be allowed to watch it. Sorry. Satire–that is what I meant when I said you were wielding a serrated edge.

Many have. This blog was written from a light-hearted and fun perspective. Satire...with not one ounce of mean-spiritedness in it. Not sure why you've reacted so sharply to this when we've enjoyed lots of laughs like this in the past. Well, Evonne, that’s too bad you didn’t laugh. Many have.

I recognize the "serrated edge" you attempting to wield, but, I wish you hadn't... Also, your assessment of judges on both shows leaves much to be desired.

I would watch! You know, Beth Moore, is a yeller too. She has yelled me into submission (and that's just on TV!). She might make a good judge too. Hilarious, Mike! I would watch!

If so, will they also be judged in the goatee shape and form category? A shrieking woman with a beard and a fire and brimstone sermon could really have some impact.
