You Are Never Enough
Despite what you’ve heard from trendy memes, you are most definitely NOT enough. Far from it. I know this is hard to hear. I just buried a hatchet in the skull of your favorite sacred cow. But before you display your ignorance by typing angry words into the comment section, let me offer a couple […]
Christians Are Better
One of my favorite questions to be asked is, “Do you think you’re better than me just because you’re a Christian?” I furrow my brow, hold my hands up defensively, lower my gaze to the floor and answer, “Yes.” That shockingly honest answer requires some clarification so I quickly add, “In every possible way, I’m […]
Burn The Un-Potioned
You’re eventually going to burn me at the stake. That’s always how these things play out. When people disagree about how to deal with a perceived crisis, the rational person is always killed by the hysterical person. Hundreds of years ago, hysterical people were terrified by the witches living among them. All the bad stuff […]
You Don’t Need To Prove God’s Love
I need to be very careful saying this. I know it might be sincerely misunderstood by some people who make the effort to understand what I’m saying. It will certainly be misunderstood by the people who categorize me as a jerk who gets his jollies from upsetting people. First, it is good to lead a […]
Just Worship Your god Already
I can tell what a person worships by what they suggest will fix my problems. Christian people suggest prayer, bible reading, and generally tell me to “trust God will work everything out for good.” After that, a Christian suggests I ask God for ears to hear His voice and wisdom to understand His answer. Pagans […]
Stop Speaking Your Truth
I’ve noticed that you do not have a friend who loves you enough to shove his hand over your mouth and yell, “STOP TALKING!” That reality makes me sad. I’ll feel a little better if you would do me the favor of placing your hand over your mouth, pretend it’s my hand, and in your […]
Just Turn Around
Louisville is directly South of my town. This is a message of encouragement to all the single mom’s living in my town who are trying to get to Louisville by going North. You don’t need the church to buy you diapers and formula. You don’t need access to healthcare. You don’t need better education about […]
Picking Fights To Eliminate Friends
An acquaintance of mine decided she was too close to the 5000 friends limit on Facebook but she didn’t have the heart to unfriend anyone so, she announced that she would be posting “controversial” things every day. She told anyone who didn’t agree with her “extreme views” to unfriend her. She then made three posts […]
Persecution Is Always Legal
It is super-important to godless tyrants that Christians understand: “Religious persecution is NEVER unlawful.” Throughout history Christians have been jailed, flogged, and martyred because they broke the law, not because they were Christians. Remember, the Romans LEGALLY fed criminals (who were coincidentally Christians) to the lions. As their flesh was torn from their bones, thoughtful […]
A Better Human Sacrifice
There are many ways to improve a civilization. Civilization improves when people start doing some things. Like growing crops. Or bathing more than annually. And Civilization improves when people stop doing other things. Like sacrificing babies to worship various gods. Our ancestors did that. Superstitious savages. We don’t do that anymore. Statistics show it would hinder church growth. …Parents wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving kids in the […]
