I’m Coming Out Again
THIS IS AN UPDATE — I’m telling you so you don’t have to read the whole post again. Several people have joined me in support of my coming out. Thank you! Your generosity and encouragement means a lot to me! Just yesterday, I had a face to face conversation with a fellow minister (who happens […]
Listen To Me Die
A new commandment has slipped into the Gospel. Christians throw it around all the time. Listen. Don’t speak. Don’t offer advice. Certainly don’t preach. Just listen. Hear people out. Understand them. It’s the newest (and therefore, THE BEST) way to emulate Jesus. A quick read through the New Testament… Never mind. Don’t bother. Just take […]
Diversity Is For Dimwits
This is a map. I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. 1 Corinthians 1:10 Awhile back I saw a map that supposedly showed […]

Crazy stuff like, “Jesus rose from the dead.” Outrageous! If I found an ancient story about a man rising from the grave, I’d dismiss it as folklore. If I found the […]
God Rest You Gullible Gentlemen

Yes, Virginia, Santa Is A Horrendous Lie
I’m truly sorry your parents let it go on this long, Virginia. Deceiving children is an odd Christmas tradition in some families. Since your folks won’t tell the truth, I’ll give you the skinny on the fat man. Santa Claus is an imaginary character like Sponge Bob or Spiderman or an honest congressman. Santa is a […]
Hijacking Christmas
Christmas is so awesome, even people who don’t like God celebrate it!
Tis’ The Season of Shame
It’s not Christmas unless it horrifies you.
