J.D. Greear defends himself against Megan Basham’s false accusations

Recently, folks in the Discord uncovered this recent post from J.D. Greear. It’s a response to Megan Basham, who just published a book called Shepherds for Sale. This book claims that right-wing leaders like J.D. Greear are totally secretly taking bribes from deep-pocketed Democratic agents to soften their culture-war stances. In Read more

Goddidit Insomnia and the actual danger of supernatural assumptions

Not long ago, evangelical big name Tim Challies wrote about his lifelong problems with insomnia. After some exploration of this problem, he ended up punting to mystery: Since he has no idea what might have caused his insomnia, he assumes it must be supernatural in nature. Yes, everyone! An omnimax Read more

SBC leader Philip Robertson doesn’t know what these two important words mean

Last time we met up, I showed you an interview Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) leader Philip Robertson did with some evangelical dude on YouTube. Last year, Robertson became the Chairman of the SBC’s top-ranked Executive Committee (EC). Alas for him, he came to this position at a really bad time Read more

Philip Robertson and his false accusations about sex abuse expose ‘Abuse of Faith’

Last week, Christa Brown knocked it out of the park again with a post about a self-serving comment from Philip Robertson about the systemic abuse problem in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). He’s the new Chair of the SBC’s top-ranked Executive Committee (EC), you see, and his hardliner faction is Read more

Another sign of Christianity’s decline: Shrinking sales for Christian publishers

Christian publishers, it seems, are facing a downturn. Christianity is simply so entrenched in American society that I haven’t thought much about the implosion of this formerly-humongous industry. But after decades of fantastic sales, Christian publishers face a decline that they might not be able to stop. Sometimes, a sign Read more

The long-forgotten lesson of Kitzmiller v Dover

When it comes to landmark freedom-of-religion cases, Kitzmiller et al v Dover Area School District et al (nicknamed Kitzmiller v Dover) might be one of the most powerful recent ones. Almost 20 years ago, this decision stopped evangelicals from sneaking religious indoctrination into public schools. Its lengthy memorandum opinion (archive) Read more

If evangelicals can’t persuade Gen Z and Alpha, they will try to coerce them

Now that Gen Z people are reaching adulthood in great numbers and Gen Alpha is poised to enter it, evangelicals are starting to panic. And I mean really panic. For years, their largely-Boomer leaders have panicked about Millennials. Then, they panicked about Gen Z and still are, as we’ll see. Read more

Service evangelism: The newest way to fail at reviving evangelicalism

Service evangelism is a recruitment tactic focusing on helping others somehow, thus impressing them, and then making the impressed people think that being helpful is just how Christians are. It’s supposed to make the impressed people want to join Christianity. However, you can likely already spot some problems with the Read more

The ERLC firing puts the ‘fun’ into Southern Baptist dysfunction

The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) might be the most public-facing and visible group within the entire Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). For about a decade and a half now, hyperconservative SBC leaders have publicly bristled at the ERLC and its leaders’ decisions. This week, though, the friction between the Read more

Christianese 101: Using visions for fun and prophet

In Christianity, visions are supposedly divinely-granted peeks into the secrets of both the present and the future. But in reality, they work very differently. Let’s explore this exciting Christianese concept, see where it originates, and rightly divide the truth between what evangelicals in particular claim is the party line and Read more
