To Bad Mothers: Don’t Have Kids
I need to set the record straight but this is the internet where everyone thinks everything they read is about them so I have to explain who I’m talking to before I set the record straight. I’m talking to women who admit they would be terrible mothers if they had kids. If you’re not a […]
The Righteous Don’t Leave Christianity
I’ve been told that ‘decent people’ are leaving Christianity in vast numbers. According to ex-Christians, the hateful teachings in the bible are repulsive to kind-hearted heathens. The un-religious want me to believe that the morally minded masses strongly object to the Christian faith. Poppycock. The ‘decent people’ don’t have a problem with Christian faith. In […]
Outcasts Aren’t Acceptable By Definition
Beware whenever someone tells you what Jesus did without reference to some scripture. The reason that God went to the trouble of spending 1500 years writing the Bible is so that our theology wouldn’t shift with the musings of modern day prophets. (Mark 2:16) When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him […]
Fear Not Those Torch Bearers
I spent a couple hours on Thanksgiving day in an online meeting with some secularists. Mostly I listened to them talk about the horrors inflicted upon them by religious people. They used words like, ‘trauma’ and ‘abuse’ to describe their church experiences. I’m confident that this rhetoric has helped them abuse Christians in past conversations. […]
Gratefulness for Beginners
Expressing gratitude is never wrong. The urge to give thanks is one of the signals that God sends you to remind you that He is real. Gratefulness is a spiritual phenomenon that requires belief in the supernatural. When a comedian thanks his friends and family for helping him achieve success, that is thanksgiving at Kindergarten […]
Tax The Rich But It Won’t Help
TAX THE RICH!! TAX THE RICH!!! TAXXXX THEEEE RIIIIICHHHH! Please, be quiet. You are making a fool of yourself. “John, you jerk! I deeply care about people in need!!! You are a disgusting apologist for billionaires! They’re hording wealth while innocent people suffer needlessly!” Shhh. You’re not qualified to decide whose suffering is ‘needless.’ The […]
Being Upset Doesn’t Make You A Victim
Sincere question: Why should I care that you’re upset? “John, you jerk! You heartless, unloving, selfish jerk!!! Don’t you care about the suffering of others!!??” There! Do you see what you just did? You ignored my sincere question, judged my character, and asked a question of your own. That’s upsetting to me. Do you care? […]
Irrational Confidence
A program on television a few years ago featured a guest who was afraid of mustard. They brought a big plate of mustard out and the poor woman panicked. She ran around the room screaming to get away from the pile of condiment. That’s an irrational fear. I’ve heard from some Secularists that we don’t […]
Pets Aren’t People
I saw a meme about some humans who take their dog, Ruckus, to see the Christmas lights. The dog loves it! Oh, also, the humans don’t have any children. I said, “Imagine how happy Ruckus would be if his humans gave him some kids to play with!” “John, you insensitive jerk! Some people can’t have […]
The Season of God’s Wrath
During the Christmas season it is good to think about God’s unwavering justice. In order to achieve justice, God unleashes wrath. Let’s not forget that Jesus came to Earth, in the form of a newborn babe, meek and mild, to perish on a cross because of us. All year long, ungodly rebels like to tell […]
