Agnostics Are Leprechauns
I assume God exists. Self labeled atheists and agnostics laugh at such religious presuppositions. The god-haters chortle, “Hahaha! Your religious bias disqualifies you from serious conversations. Keep your superstitious assumptions to yourself! The public conversation must be separate from religion.” In other words, they assume God doesn’t exist. I know! I know! I can hear […]
Support Is Soooo Easy
Years ago, supporting someone required effort. Not anymore! I can take credit for being a ‘supportive ally’ by just posting stuff on social media. I can bask in lavish applause without taking a risk, breaking a sweat, or spending a dime. Hero status is available for nothing. So…get ready to praise my greatness! I support […]
Ignorance Begets Confidence
A quote from the man who still holds major influence in the scientific community despite his staggering scientific ignorance. Way back when Chuck Darwin was writing all his scientific insights, the consensus among the biological experts was that life could spontaneously generate from non-life. It was accepted science that life just appeared, like magic. I’m […]
Beware of People Who ONLY Worry About Church People
I suggested that a predator is a person who is super-interested in making sure your children know about sex. There were a lot of responses in the comment section that were along the lines of, “John, you jerk! Predators want children to be ignorant so they can prey on their innocence! The CLERGY EXPLOITS UNEDUCATED […]
We Are Woke and They Hate Us For It
As soon as it became common knowledge what it means to be ‘woke,’ the woke crowd started working overtime to change that meaning. For many years, ‘woke’ was understood as the past participle of ‘wake’ and we were content with that definition. We didn’t need it to mean ‘well informed’, ‘thoughtful’, ‘humble’, or ‘kind’, because…we […]
To Those Who Drop Anvils
Some kids shouldn’t be allowed to watch Bugs Bunny. This isn’t a popular take but if I was primarily motivated by the desire to be popular, I’d just share memes like this one without commentary. Any kid who can’t understand that Bugs Bunny is not real, should not be watching cartoons. It won’t cause the […]
Time To Stop Sending Your Kids to The Neighbor’s House
You went to the neighbors house when you were a kid. They shared the same values as your parents so you were safe at their house. You learned a lot of important things over at their house. Now that you’re grown-up and have some kids of your own, you’re sending your kids to the neighbors […]
Brainwash Your Kids
So, you’re afraid someone might accuse you of brainwashing your kid. You’re terrified that passing your theology to your progeny might get you scolded by some anonymous Facebook troll. You’re worried that somebody might tell you that indoctrinating your kid with religion is child abuse. Well, you live in a culture full of nitwits so […]
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 […]
