Never Trust My Feelings
There is nothing cynical in the phrase, “Character is what you do when nobody is watching.” Talk is cheap and saying that doesn’t make me a pessimist. There is nothing cynical in the phrase, “Anxious to see how the ‘revived’ Christians live after the services end and the news crews leave.” Faith without works is […]
He Sure Does Get Us
Some anonymous Christian people launched a multi-million dollar ad campaign to boost Jesus’ popularity among young people. The campaign theme is, “He gets us.” You may have seen the Superbowl ads or a billboard or social media post. If you haven’t seen it yet, you will. The campaign is being criticized by progressive Christians because […]
Putting Words In God’s Mouth
One of the church’s most effective methods of growing rotten fruit has been our (and by ‘our’’ I mean ‘your’) relentless efforts to pervert the message of scripture. We have a bumper crop of Christians who believe it is right (and good) to throw out everything in the bible that isn’t written in red letters. […]
How To Traumatize A Girl Scout
Have you ever mentioned to a little girl that cookies are not on your diet? You narcissist! You overwhelmed that innocent child. What in the world were you thinking?! Girls are not emotionally stable enough to deal with small talk about the nutritional value of cookies. Girls do not have the capacity to understand hyperbole […]
Turns Out I Was Right
Shout out to Stephen King (and Main Street Democrats) for proving that I was right. There really are people who do NOT believe children should be protected from ANY literature. A lot of commenters assured me that I was ‘making up stuff to be upset about.’ They said, “John, you jerk! Nobody thinks kids should […]
New Religion Same As The Old
So…you’ve deconstructed your “old religion” and thrown all of those superstitions out the window. You’re now 100% ‘religion free’ and a much better, happier, person. Meh., I don’t buy it. I don’t believe your new superstition is better than your old superstition. There’s no evidence that your deconstructed faith is any different from the legalism […]
An Expanded Definition
I need to apologize for a mistake. I said the people who are eager to teach your children about sex are predators. My statement may have lead some of you to believe that predators are exclusively sexual perverts. That is incorrect and I am sorry for the misunderstanding. The term, ‘predator’ should be understood to […]
Every Predator No Matter Where
I said, “Everyone who wants to make sure your kids learn about sex is a predator,” and pagans showed up to say, “AAAAAAAAGHHH!!!! WHAT ABOUT THE PREDATORS IN THE CHURCH!!!?” Now, I have zero obligation to explain myself to depraved fools. I do, however, have a responsibility to expose the folly of paganism for my […]
Yes. You Can Legislate Morality
If you’re still uncertain about the devastating effects of sending innocent children into the government education system, notice that the church is now saturated with people who genuinely believe the government should not legislate morality. Wait…what? You’re one of those people? This is going to shock you, but the Bible says otherwise. (Romans 13:1) Everyone […]
Objecting to This Is Not A Good Look
When I say, “Removing porn from school libraries is not ‘banning books,’” the only proper response from a morally responsible adult is, “Yes.” When I say porn should be removed from school libraries and you respond with, “That’s not porn. It’s sex education literature,” you’re helping decent, civilized grown-ups identify child predators. For that, we […]
