Ed Stetzer wants Christians to be super-creepy this holiday season (LSP #69)

We’ve been talking this year about Christians’ push for increased evangelism. In that vein, today I present Ed Stetzer’s advice to his followers about how to handle the holiday season. See, obviously he’s panicking about Christianity’s continued decline. This Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) leader needs his followers to pick up the pace of their recruitment. And he thinks he’s found a way to do it. Let’s see how effective it is! Today, Lord Snow Presides over the dishonest tactics Christians use to sell their religion.

That Time I Wandered as a Child Into an Evangelism Tent At the County Fair

I love county fairs. Always have. I love everything about them: the food, the games, the rides (well, most of them), the animals, the contests, ALL. OF. IT. I even love the weird stuff that always seems to occupy the fringes of these events (mostly). As we scoot right up the rump of Thanksgiving, let me show you some of that weird stuff I encountered there once–and then what happened afterward.

Foot Washing: A Primer (LSP #68)

Christians do a lot of things that don’t make any sense at all to non-Christians. Let me show you one of those things: foot washing. It’s beyond weird, but it’s just one of those things that (some) Christians do. And I’ve seen one of these rituals–and I’ll tell you all about it. Today, Lord Snow Presides over yet another silly, meaningless ritual that Christians do that they think accomplishes great things.

That Time Biff Tried to Become a Radio Show Host (Just Like Bob Larson)

At the height of the Satanic Panic, my ultra-Christian first husband, Biff, concocted a plan. He felt certain that it was foolproof. See, he had figured out how to achieve his dream of being a professional Christian! He’d become a radio show host just like Bob Larson. Today, I’ll show you what happened, how it shook out, and the hand it ultimately played in bringing us all together.

Why Christians Need Satan to Be An Idiot

When I was a Christian, every single Christian I knew had two completely contradictory opinions about Satan. First, everyone thought he was beyond infernally intelligent. But second, everyone thought he was a stone-cold IDIOT. If anything, this opinion holds even truer today than it did decades ago. Let’s look at both sides of that coin, and maybe see why the coin exists at all.

Can Christians Restart the Satanic Panic?

Last time, we looked at the dishonest testimony of a totally-for-realsies ex-Satanist turned evangelist, John Ramirez. But we noticed a worrisome trend in the new crop of similar testimonies, and we must ask: Did Christians love the Satanic Panic so much that they’re trying their best to restart it? And can they restart a moral panic that ended so long ago? Well, we’re going to see if we can find answers to those questions.
