Last time we met up, we covered a book about evangelism called Soul-Winning Made Easy, by C.S. Lovett. Like most of these sorts of guides, this one asks its readers to deceive their evangelism targets about what kind of game they’re playing. In fact, a lot of Christian evangelism tactics commit that same kind of deception. Using that book’s patent-pending X-Ray Approach Technique, I’ll show you what I mean.
A couple of months ago, I came into two books by a minister that tickled me pink. I wanted to show you one of them today! In a lot of ways, this book reveals so much about Christianity. Come with me for a romp through Soul-Winning Made Easy!
One of the most dramatic miracle claims that far-right evangelicals make is that of speaking in tongues. Something about it just looks next-level weird. The Christians who do it claim that their baby-babble comes from their god’s touch upon their spirits. But they’re wrong, and I know that truth quite well.
Christians now have a whole new bad idea to torment people with. See, their god’s totally on social media, and gosh, we’re being so mean to him by leaving him on read receipt! Today, Lord Snow Presides over the newest bad idea getting installed in Christians’ heads.
Often, ex-Christians describe deconversion as being very similar to children realizing there’s no Santa Claus. I know that comparison irks a lot of Christians. And I wish we had a better comparison to offer, because hands down that is the best way I’ve ever heard of describing deconversion. Today, I’ll show you what I mean–and perhaps reveal some details about that comparison that might be new.
We’ve been talking lately about multi-level marketing schemes (MLMs) and their similarity to the worst end of Christianity. I even noticed a few people in comments talking about how recognizing that similarity helped them escape the religion itself. Much the same thing happened reto me. Today, let me show you Read more
Today, I’ll show you some of the goofier miracles Christians are claiming nowadays. These are the things Christians think their god’s been up to while avoiding serious work–and maybe why they’ve landed on these weird ideas.
One of the most visible signs of Christianity’s decline is its rash of abandoned churches. And they’re proving to be a problem! Today, Lord Snow Presides over fast-emptying churches.
Already, Christians herald John Allen Chau as a martyr to their holy cause. And he is, just not quite in the way they believe. His story drives home exactly why his religion is declining–and why it deserves to decline.
As we approach Thanksgiving here in America, I reflect upon the idea of finding meaning in one’s life. A few years ago, I ran a series on the topic. Well, some folks (as I heard through the social-media grapevine) had expected me to literally lay out instructions for how to find meaning in life. Today’s post might answer that concern. Today, I’ll show you how I found meaning in my own life, and how that process differed from when I was Christian.
