We’ve talked many times over the years about how evangelicals love dehumanizing their enemies. This time, though, we have someone doing it who seems to stand well outside of the evangelical end of the Christian pool. Let’s dive into this newest attempt to make nonreligious people look like subhumans—and perhaps Read more
Evangelicals have expressed both dread regarding AI’s popularity and power, and excitement about its potential to turn around their decades-long decline. Many millions of dollars’ worth of evangelical money is concentrating on AI’s potential at the moment.
A recent editorial at Christian Post (archive) featured a sermon about spiritual warfare from a pastor named Jack Hibbs. Hibbs leads a church named Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, California. And apparently Hibbs’ congregation enjoys hearing lies out of their pastor, because he certainly provides them with a solid stream of Read more
Oh, I loved this recent opinion piece from Christian Post about the Endtimes (archive). It’s just so very old-school evangelical, and it will no doubt hit its mark with its intended target audience. This time around, our Endtimes fearmonger is Dan Delzell, a frequent contributor to the site. He might even Read more

In response to a hardline Catholic’s response to another hardline Catholic, an evangelical agrees that there is ‘no better time’ to join up. Of course, it’s not like anyone could choose any other time in which to exist than the present. But it got me thinking. In terms of sheer Read more
Thom Rainer functions as a living, breathing, nonstop rebuttal to evangelical claims. Back in Ye Olden Daies of evangelical power, he reigned as the leader of Lifeway Christian Resources, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) propaganda and publishing arm. During that time, Lifeway tanked in sales. Once he scare-quotes ‘retired,’ he Read more
Last week, I introduced you to a real live ‘Gen Z expert,’ Tanita Maddox. As I noted at the time, Maddox has been very busy writing articles and recording videos about her subject matter for other evangelicals, who apparently know absolutely no Gen Z people. One of her articles of Read more
