I’m not surprised that conservative Christians have lashed out at rapper Lil Nas X over the “Satan Shoes” he’s promoting (created by the company MSCHF). Given that the entire point of the shoes was to go viral — and not to make any kind of theological argument — the critics fell right into the trap of giving the shoes and the company free promotion.

But it’s downright hilarious to see who’s doing the criticizing.

Consider preacher John Gray, who posted a rant on Instagram yesterday about the shoes:...

...It would be a hell of a lot easier to take his rant seriously if Gray wasn’t famous for buying expensive shoes — and spending lots of money on extravagant items — that many Christians would say goes against anything Jesus ever preached.
