Andrew Bradley is the creator and sole writer for “Mrs. Betty Bowers, America’s Best Christian ™” both a character and an award-winning eponymous web series. He has written or co-written three books (What Would Betty Do, White House Handbook and Welcome to Jesusland!) on two topics he was told never to talk about: religion and politics. He also served as one of the lead writers on LandoverBaptist.org, a spoof of fundamentalism.
“You never run out of material, particularly with the incarnation of evangelicalism right now in America,” Bradley says on the show. “The hypocrisy is just so off the charts. It’s fun to spoof it; it’s almost effortless.”

I really enjoy the "Betty Bowers" videos. Here in South Texas Christianity can get serious. I got into it with a man that had a bumper sticker on his pickup truck that read "The Bible should be the law of the land". I asked if he genuinely believed this. "Of course, I'm a Christian". Does that include the Old Testament?. "Of course,It's God"s word". I went over to get my Bible. I opened it to the Old Testament. I asked this man if his clothes were a blended fiber cloth. "Yes,They are". "Well sir, I have to kill you now. Mixed fiber clothing is an abomination to God". I showed him the verse saying this. Told him there are almost 800 "laws" regarding human behavior. The penalty for for most transgressions is death. Driving your truck on the Sabbath is not allowed. No more bacon, catfish or shrimp. No more shaving or cutting your hair. I pointed out the verses regarding these activities. He didn't look happy.

Back around 1985, our local newpaper's "Letters to the Editor" was constantly filled with letters demanding prayer in public schools. So I wrote a letter quoting what Jesus said about public displays of prayer (Matthew 6:5-6) and reminding them that anyone who has ever bothered to actually read the New Testament should know all too well what Jesus thought of hypocrites (he seemed to hate nothing worse than hypocrites). After my letter was published, it was at least a full two years before the next letter calling for school prayer appeared and even then they didn't make a full come-back.

I actually remember the first time I heard the word ATHEIST. My mother was watching the Opra Winfrey Show. Dan Barker and Annie Laurie were on. I was a child. I was shocked. I winced inside. I was so grieved that anyone would so boldly admit to not believing. Thankfully I found my way out of fundamentalism and concluded atheism ten years ago.

This happened to a lot of people. When I was 8, my paternal grandmother, a fundamentalist Southern Baptist, family tyrant, and hypocrite, said, "If there are atheists out there, they deserved to be hanged!" My father agreed with her... as always. I was shocked, because by 8 I had figured out religion was not all that they cracked it up to be. Love FFRF, because it does so much to keep our secular nation safe from Christian Dominionists!
