‘Fallacies of Pop Christianity’ (2013)

Love Is Love Yard Signs | Black Lives Matter Yard Signs

Touching all the bases… murdering your country with motives that make you feel Really Good about yourself!

I’ve run this post a few times over the years–not that I expect “pop Christianity” to dry up anytime soon. But at least the “Hate Has No Home Here” lawn signs seem to have passed away… although the “Love Is Love” signs are still with us: music to a pedophile’s ears.

Fallacies of Pop Christianity

Anyway, follow the rules of Pop Christianity and you’ll never have to worry about fitting into a liberal church; and you’ll always have a home in the Democrat Party, among “devout Catholics” (LOL!) SloJo and Pelosi.

It’s the nature of vacuums to be filled, one way or another. The vacuum created by churches’ failure to teach the Bible has been filled by, among other things, something we might call “pop Christianity.”

Fallacies of Pop Christianity

Is it any better than New Age drivel, atheism, or out-and-out paganism? Didn’t Israel, in the Old Testament, try to get by with pop Judaism? And how did that turn out for them?

‘Winsome? We’re Supposed to be Winsome? (2015)

Not so much winsome as… creepy

When people who really hate Christianity lecture Christians on how to be Christians, they usually demand that we be winsome. Try using that word in everyday conversation. You’ll get some funny looks.

Winsome? We’re Supposed to be Winsome?

We’re also supposed to let the bad guys do anything they flaming well please to our society, and never, never, never defend it from them.

Not interested! Not winsome, either.

‘Water Slide… Baptism?’ (2016)

To merge the church with the amusement park seems like a really bad idea, but there’s a church in North Carolina that’s done it.

Water Slide… Baptism?

Do you get the impression that some churches don’t take the sacraments seriously anymore? That’s what happens when you conform to the world rather than being transformed by the word of God.

It shows a lack of respect.

 

‘Christian vs. Almost Christian Fantasy’ (2015)

Maybe this year I’ll find some really great, current, Christian fantasy to review.

Christian vs. Almost Christian Fantasy

I have to be careful about going into the theology shop, because I’m not a theologian, I might break something.

But a demon-hunting hit squad? If that seems a familiar motif, it’s from a book called Pax Demonica about “a demon-hunting soccer mom.” I know, I know–but really, it wasn’t as bad as it sounds. But the theology was way, way off.

Is it really necessary to warn anyone that learning Christian doctrine from paperback novels is probably not a good idea?

My Newswithviews Column, July 26 (‘Religion for Hipsters’)

There are churches and “Bible scholars” out there who’ll say and do anything to win the approval of a Godless world.

It wouldn’t be so bad, if they had only their own souls to worry about; but how many people are they leading into error?

Well, it’ll make an interesting defense on Judgment Day. “But Lord! I was only doing what was trending!”

‘Who’s a Bad Christian?’ (2016)

I thought this piece was worth revisiting. A lot has happened in the two years since it was first posted: but nothing has happened to make it out of date.

And now, because the landlord has had five or six months to fix the problem with the laundry machines in our basement, but hasn’t, I have to go to the laundromat.

I’ll have an important post for you this afternoon, though. Mustn’t rush through it this morning.
