Last updated on: March 11, 2019 at 10:40 am By Benjamin L. Corey

Don’t Worry Folks, the Great Tribulation Isn’t Happening This Weekend, or Ever

Last updated on: March 11, 2019 at 10:40 am By Benjamin L. Corey

Is the Great Tribulation getting ready to kick off this weekend? Are we about to plunge into seven years of global chaos where all those left behind will be forced to take the mark of the beast or get beheaded? Well, that’s what one end-times predictor is warning the world. And I’ll admit, this end-times prediction is a little crazier than usual. An end-times “prophet” named David Meade is predicting not only that the Great Tribulation will kick off this... Read more

Being a Christian isn't about following the Bible, it's about following Jesus-- and that shouldn't be so controversial. Read more

No, Natural Disasters Are Not Signs We’re in the “End Times”

Jesus claimed that natural disasters and war would be signs that the time for the destruction of the temple, not the end of the world, was close. Read more

The Prosperity Gospel vs. Jesus: Why These Two Things Are Not the Same

Last updated on: March 11, 2019 at 10:41 am By Benjamin L. Corey

I believe that Christianity is a religion founded upon the life, teachings, and example of Jesus of Nazareth. Any version of Christianity that is built on a different foundation– whether it’s founded upon “following the Bible” or some foundation other than “be like Jesus,” isn’t really Christianity at all, even if it tries to go by the same name. Christianity, by definition, is supposed to mean “like Christ.” There are some Christian traditions that highlight certain parts of Jesus at the... Read more

Pope Francis Is NOT A Champion Of The Marginalized

Last updated on: February 16, 2019 at 8:05 am By Benjamin L. Corey

Pope Francis has, by and large, been lauded by many progressive Christians since the earliest days of his papacy– I have been one of them. In fact, in 2015 I was interviewed by CNN as one of a variety of non-Catholic faith leaders who liked and respected him, even going so far as to say I had a “bromance” with him. There are certainly a host of things to like and celebrate about Pope Francis, most especially when viewing those... Read more

Dear Religious Right: Didn’t You Just Finish Telling Me You Believe in Violence Against Nazis?

Last updated on: March 11, 2019 at 10:41 am By Benjamin L. Corey

I have a serious and honest question for my friends on the Religious Right, because what you told me recently has left me confused as to your actual position. An American city saw terror descended upon it by a bunch of proud, white supremacist nazis– people who hold what most of us, whether liberal, conservative, or somewhere in-between, have long agreed is among the most vile and repulsive belief systems that a human being could hold. These nazis came out of... Read more

Friends of Formerly Fundie: As some of you may have seen on Facebook, I have spent the last year and a half quietly in the background plugging away at what became the most intense spiritual experience of my life.
