Welcome to the Happy Crappy Mother’s Day Club!

Last updated on: May 6, 2010 at 8:35 am By John Shore

Mother’s Day is coming up right quick here. Yay! I guess. I don’t know. I do know that about this time of year I find myself feeling for all those whom the good Lord saw fit to birth unto a woman no more suited for motherhood than June Cleaver was suited for professional mud wrestling. All around them others are waxing rhapsodic about their loving, tender, wise, resourceful, self-sacrificing Exemplary Mother, while they’re stuck remembering how their loser witch of... Read more

Ten Ways Christians Fail to be Christian

Last updated on: May 4, 2018 at 5:27 pm By John Shore

I feel that we Christians too often fail in these ten ways: 1. Too much money. “Wealthy Christian” should be an oxymoron. In Luke 12:33, Jesus says, “Sell your possessions and give to the poor.” At Matthew 19:21, he says, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor.” In Matthew 6:24, he says: “You cannot serve God and Money.” Christians are generally pretty huge on cleaving to the word of God. I just... Read more

The Restoration of John Shore

Last updated on: April 26, 2010 at 2:19 pm By John Shore

As you may already know, charismatic Christian (and apparent long-time tax evader) Stephen Baldwin has put up (or at least presumably sanctioned) a website called The Restoration of Stephen Baldwin. I have put up one called The Restoration of John Shore. You decide which is more credible. (You can vote either at “The Restoration of John Shore,” or below.) [polldaddy poll=3118064] Read more

I, a Rabid Anti-Christian, Very Suddenly Convert

Last updated on: April 23, 2016 at 4:23 pm By John Shore

The split-second before I very suddenly became a Christian I couldn’t have been less of a Christian if I had red horns, hoofs, and a long pointy tail. If anything, I was anti-Christian. The religion struck me as ridiculously immature, a way-too-obvious system designed mostly to capitalize on people’s guilt: Big Daddy in the Sky knows you did wrong, but will love you anyway if you’ll only admit that he’s perfection itself, and that you’re a wretched, sickening sack of...
