Christians Say the Darnedest Things: “Dr.” David Tee Swears Off Bruce Gerencser and Ben Berwick, Yet Keeps Writing About Them

dr david tee

I promised I would stop responding to Fake Dr. David Tee/TheologyArcheology/David Thiessen/TEWSNBN in 2022. So far, I have been a good boy, but today I plan to break my promise (much like my promise that I will put the toilet seat down) so I can share with readers Tee’s latest post about me and my friend Ben Berwick (who blogs at Meerkat Musings). Since January 1, 2022, Tee has written twenty-four posts about the two of us. Twenty-four! What follows is his latest:

BG had an article the other day about the supposed war on deconstructing one’s evangelical faith. You can read it here if you are interested. We are not [yet Tee responded to it]. The article is filled with the same old false teaching that has been around since Christ walked the earth.

….

We have had some thoughts on our minds [stop looking at porn, David] for some time now. They concern BG & MM [still too lazy to type out our names]. You will notice that we may only link to an article they wrote as a reference point. We do not analyze their words that much anymore [did you ever analyze our words? I mean thoughtful, critical analysis?].

There is no point to as all we get in response is to be called liars [if it walks, talks, and acts like a liar, it is a liar] and that they did not say what we recorded them as saying. We do not need the hassle [yet, you keep writing about us].

There was a time we did try to understand BG’s story [bullshit] per his public wish. But we found that to be a wasted effort. He really doesn’t want anyone to understand his story [most people understand my story just fine], he just wants to receive sympathy, attention, and play the victim card [and money and blow jobs too :)].

There is nothing you can do for such people. We are sad [no you are not] that he made his decision to walk away from the faith and all we can do is knock the dirt off our sandals fathered from his website [who had sex with my website and fathered, uh, dirt?] and walk away [promise?]. We hesitate to do that because he is already in enough spiritual trouble, we do not want to add to it. [Tees fails to understand that his behavior actually makes me think less of Jesus and Christianity, as do all such Christian Assholes. Do better, David, do better. Start with the fruit of the Spirit.]

Be careful when you encounter those who once believed and now do not. They will trample pearls beneath their feet and cause you great harm if you are not careful [😂😂😂].

You may question your faith if you listen to their words [that’s the idea]. Don’t listen to them as they are nothing but false teachers and false prophets [yes, but are our words true?]. They do not bring you anything from God [of course not, we are non-Christians] nor will they help you in your spiritual growth [we will, however, help you get free from the Evangelical cult].

They will help you walk away from your faith if you let their seeds of destruction get planted in your souls and minds. We watched Bart Ehrman debate Craig Evans once and the former did not come to debate.

He came to evangelize the faithful away from the faith [this is a lie, or, at best, a personal opnion]. That is what BG and other atheists will do if you let them [resistence is futile]. They are ready to evangelize you away from salvation with their lies and untruths [and with Satan’s help, we will prevail].

Don’t let it happen. Stick with [my Fundamentalist version of] the truth and do not deter from it. Do not listen to those who do not believe but give them the truth in love. They are the ones who are lost and deceived, do not join them.

They are the ones who made the mistake and the wrong decision, not you [sounds like Tee is having a crisis of faith].

Bruce Gerencser, 66, lives in rural Northwest Ohio with his wife of 45 years. He and his wife have six grown children and thirteen grandchildren. Bruce pastored Evangelical churches for twenty-five years in Ohio, Texas, and Michigan. Bruce left the ministry in 2005, and in 2008 he left Christianity. Bruce is now a humanist and an atheist.

    This guy reminds me of a dog chasing its tail. Around and around in circles, bumping into the same obstacles over and over again and jumping up and mindlessly pursuing the same stupid thing again. All that head bumping seems to have caused this poor mutt some issues with cognition. I’d feel more pity for him if he weren’t such an asshole, though.

    I continue to be of the opinion that this guy is not entitled to the handle ‘Dr’. It may be that he has some formal certificate that grants him the credential, but he couldn’t compete intellectually with anybody I know who has obtained the qualification properly.

    It’s interesting that he appears only to engage directly with Bruce, perhaps because Bruce’s style is peculiarly unique. Otherwise he exists inside a little shell. He claims to speak ‘truth’ but makes no attempt to explain his position, or even to defend it, only to make counter attacks against Bruce and Ben. His only ‘argument’ is to quote the bible, and as the majority of mankind sees no reason to hold it in any esteem, his argument is very circular. I’d like to see him defend his position intellectually, but of course this is something he is unable to do.

      He’s not. He either has a doctorate from a diploma mill/correspondence school or he granted himself the degree. He refuses to say where he got his education. Told me to ask God. I did, and God said “he got it out of a Cracker Jack box.”

    I’d love to know what we’re denying saying that he recorded us saying. He links to our posts and it would be very obvious if there was a discrepancy between what he was quoting and what we had written.

    I still can’t figure out why he refers to himself in the first person plural all the time. Does he think it legitimized him in some way – “me and my good buddy Jesus”(yes, I intended to use bad grammar) or “I am a royal son of a God” or “I and those who agree with me” or “my parasite and I”? Huh?

    Some time ago, after leaving Christianity, I decided to become a preacher, mostly bcause my wife pointed out, on a fairly regular basis, that I tend to include ‘religion’ in many and most conversations that persist for a time. Allegedly, I somehow find a way to include this matter. So, my backward acknowledgment of the fact was to seek a Certificate in Ministry. I achieved that by sending away for it to the one true church, The Church of the Latter-Day Dude. As a minister/priest of Dudeism, I am now qualified and belong. I rate!
    Well, my wife disagrees. Of course, she has no certicate as I do in matters of import and her graduate degree does not mean she can stand with me, with us.! We will endure her complaints but we know better, don’t we…. We have spoken.

    People are most adamant—to make the point of harming others—when they’re trying desperately to hold onto them. It sounds like David/Tee/whatever he calls himself today is trying to prop up the edifice of a philosophy, and perhaps way, of life that he knows is crumbling underneath him.

    This behavior is how he thinks he can maintain some significance. Too much time on his hands,plus a basic indifference from the public.🙃Tee would do better by simply golfing, instead of blogging.

    Apparently he has no original thoughts of his own. If he did, he wouldn’t have to keep using your material. He doesn’t offer any kind of a positive Christian experience, but instead focuses on negativity. And none of these fundies cares about God’s love and the exhortatio to love others. Instead, it’s all a fear response to a burning hell.
