No Christianity Without Christ
In keeping with the standard atheist belief that morality can exist without any religious foundation, Richard Dawkins has proclaimed himself to be a ‘Cultural Christian.’ This is the guy who hoped that religious readers of his book, The God Delusion, “will be atheists when they put it down.” This is the guy who wrote that […]
Critical of the Critics
One of the attributes of tyrants and dictators is a low tolerance for criticism. The most effective tyrants are able to convince you that they are serving ‘the greater good’ so any criticism you raise will be used as proof that you oppose goodness. Some of the most successful dictators will tell you they are […]
Share The Gospel
Lately, I’ve been critical of some ‘Charismatic’ preachers for various reasons which has (as usual) made some church people squeamish. Church people want everybody to get along. That’s not bad. I’m not opposed to unity. In fact, the Bible encourages us to be united. Here, I’ll quote a scripture to prove how pro-unity I am: […]
God Decides Who’s A Virgin
It’s not difficult to say, “I’m not perfect.” Vague admission of unspecified flaws makes me seem humble. It’s much harder to say, “I assumed you call yourself a sinner so non-believers won’t call you arrogant. I assumed the label of sinner was a disguise you wear to make Christianity more palatable to the lost. I […]
Most Christians agree that the crucifixion of Jesus has the power to transform sinners into saints. Many Christians also define the term ‘sinner’ as ‘one who sins,’ and since saints still sin sometimes (or all the time according to some testimonies), there is some confusion about how saints are different from sinners. If we’re going […]
The Desperation of Champions
An entire month of pretending that the most celebrated, included, accepted people in our culture are victims of oppression. The people who redefined the concepts of marriage, love, gender, and diversity spend four full weeks pantomiming a struggle for acceptance. The craven passions of this privileged class are unanimously approved as virtues. Every recognizable corporate […]
Jesus Don’t Need Your Pity
I grew up hearing evangelists beg sinners to ‘come back home’ to Jesus as if every person on planet Earth is a prodigal who wandered away. I’ve heard the message countless times. “Look how Jesus suffered! He loves you so very much! You ought to show your appreciation and become a disciple. Won’t you give […]
Let Others Tell You You’re A Good Thinker
Human beings need religion. People who proclaim themselves to be ‘non-religious,’ still possess sacred beliefs and values. Every person believes in right and wrong. It’s inescapable. Refusing to acknowledge those beliefs as ‘religious’ is just stubbornness. In their silly attempt to divorce themselves from religion, God-haters often preach the gospel of ‘Critical Thinking.’ The primary […]
Good Parents Tether Children
There’s a cartoon picturing a couple with halos over their heads holding a leash connected to a halo around their child’s neck. It is a perfect depiction of what Christian parenting is supposed to look like. The best parents restrain their children. Kids are prone to self destruction. They are impulsive, reckless, selfish little beasts […]
Making Disciples Is Different From Making Friends
Making disciples is different from making friends. I know you disagree. You’re convinced that a relationship with Jesus requires friendship with a Christian. Lost people can’t fall in love with Jesus unless they first fall in love with us. At the same time, you’re worried that I’m going to prevent one of those lost people […]
