Sometime in January, Professing Creationist to get Serious

DOVELAND, WISCONSIN — Local creationist Jonathan J. Johnson has been on various platforms for several years, mainly to argue with atheists about the existence of God. He gets really excited when the subject invariably turns to evolution because, he says, it is his strong suit.

"I've studied creation science for years. Look at all the books and videos!" he exclaimed, gesturing to his bookcase. "Also, I follow creation ministries and stuff." When asked how many he watched or read, he said, "Atheist spout off and I let them have it!"

"I really like memes, short sayings, captioned pictures and stuff, but articles and videos, not so much." He said all that changed when he dealt with more knowledgeable atheists and, as predicted, "had is clock cleaned."

Jonathan added, "It was a wake-up call. I wasn't really prepared after all and got verbally slapped down. That, and a sermon I just heard reminded me that people are going into a dismal eternity without God, and I wasn't caring. I couldn't even be bothered to even share a link to support Question Evolution Day! People don't learn if nobody cares enough to say something."

As to when he was going to get serious and learn things, Johnson stated that it should be very soon. "Like when people set New Year's resolutions for, say, dieting, you know? There's still Christmas cookies and stuff around." The same way with him. He has "some things to do" and then he'll get really serious about getting informed about creation science and caring about the lost.

This parody article was inspired by this one from The Babylon Bee. Odds are, there is a Jonathan J. Johnson (or many by that name) out there somewhere. Not living in Doveland, WI though. It does not really exist. Switch the details around a mite, and the above resolution can be applied to several aspects of good intentions in the Christian life,
