For years now, I’ve said that Christianity wouldn’t exist today if it weren’t for its leaders grabbing and wielding legal powers of coercion 1800 years ago, then protecting it with everything they had. In recent decades, secular governments have been peeling away those powers bit by bit. But amid more Read more
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
Evangelicals continue to argue with each other about who should be on the Republican ballot for the next election: Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis. Each camp has its own vehement opinion.
Invoking divine authority to bolster one’s claims is a long-beloved evangelical pastime. Here, it just makes them look ridiculous.
In recent months, Donald Trump has been talking about bringing back the anti-Muslim immigration ban from his single term in office.
His white evangelical fanbase loves it. Almost ten years into their decline, they are more touchy than ever about losing credibility and cultural power.
Today, Lord Snow Presides over the ‘dispirited’ feel at the Mar-a-Lago resort, leading to its recent hemorrhage of paying members.
To borrow a phrase and wreck its meter: ‘the time has come,’ the walrus said, ‘to speak of many things: Of shoes and ships…’ And narcissistic rage, of dysfunctional game admins and extremely seditious presidents. In the case of those last two items, these two groups have some very important traits in common: their narcissistic desire for attention, the mind-boggling extremes to which they are both willing to go in order to get it, and their catastrophic rage when it is denied. Today, Lord Snow Presides over how I learned to spot narcissists in a game I once loved.
By far, one of the only spots of amusement in recent news is the way that Donald Trump’s onetime allies and most fervent supporters are now distancing themselves from him. And of all of those allies and supporters, none were quite as certain of their allegiance as so-called ‘pro-lifers.’ These culture warriors once heralded him as a divine savior of pweshus unborn baybeez. But now, they’ve been trying to claim some very different territory. Today, let me show you how feckless and obviously self-interested these self-proclaimed culture warriors truly are, in their attempts at distancing themselves from Donald Trump.
Today, Lord Snow Presides over Pat Robertson telling Donald Trump he just needs to accept his loss and move on with his life, while not noticing that he and his entire tribe needs to take that same advice.
Hi and welcome back! Sometimes, the news astonishes me. However, this was not one of those times. Donald Trump has downplayed the coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19) from the very beginning. Alongside him, his rabid fanbase of white evangelicals gladly indulged and encouraged this irresponsible behavior. Now, he’s caught the virus along Read more
