Another Television show mocking Christians as fake and describing Jesus as a Liberal.

Fugelsang’s as-yet-untitled show (Talk-ata and Fugelsang? The F-Bomb?) will join a lineup that includes five hours of programming from stand-up comedians (including Stephanie Miller and Joy Behar), two former governors (Eliot Spitzer, Jennifer Granholm) plus current California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, and liberal media street-fighters like Bill Press and Cenk Uygur. Fugelsang says he thinks the mix is “admirably eclectic.”

“I think when you have a line up that’s made up of real journalists, I have so much respect for Bill and Cenk, and satirists, I think there is a reason people trust comedians more than politicians or anyone else. If its not true you’re not going to laugh at it. So I respect that they would hire Stephanie and Joy and me, and yeah, real bona fide elected officials like the two govs and Gavin Newsom.”

Kimball, who oversees the teaching and mission at Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz, Calif., isn't surprised by some of the statements Fugelsang has made against conservative Christians.

The comedian has stated on Current TV that Jesus was "never anti-gay, never mentioned abortion, never mentioned premarital sex."

He also told TheWrap that Jesus was one of the most liberal characters in history and "quipped that parts of the bible say eating pork is a sin," as reported by the news organization.

Such arguments have been made many times before, Kimball noted. And the California pastor is surprised that "we are still hearing them as they aren't very valid ones (arguments)."

While Kimball agreed that Jesus did not hate gays and did not mention abortion or premarital sex, the pastor noted that Jesus also didn't directly speak on sex trafficking, single people or post-marital sex either.

"To make arguments from silence about what Jesus believes or doesn't can be taken to make cases about all kinds of things," he maintained. "We can look at what Jesus positively spoke of as examples of marriage or human rights or how human beings should treat each other."

Kimball further noted, "Jesus wasn't right-winged but he wasn't left-winged either. He was truth-winged with a focus on loving people, despite when he called out hypocrisy or false truths that people wouldn't necessarily like to hear."
