40 Questions for (fear-mongering) pastor Kevin DeYoung, now stomping the rainbow flag

Last updated on: July 3, 2015 at 10:40 am By John Shore

Going viral today is a post by pastor Kevin DeYoung called 40 QUESTIONS FOR CHRISTIANS NOW WAVING RAINBOW FLAGS. A few Christians have written me to discuss how they should respond to his chunk o’ chum—to ask how they can beat DeYoung at his own game. But that’s a fool’s errand: once you accept the premise of DeYoung’s questions—which it’s assumed you do if, hook by hook, you start taking his bait—then you’ve already lost. It’s like a reporter asking, “So, Mr.... Read more

LGBT ruling = Attack of the Crazy Christians = Quiet time

Last updated on: June 29, 2015 at 4:27 pm By John Shore

Hi, folks! Congratulations to all who are rejoicing over SCOTUS’s historic ruling that gay people have no less right to the full protection of the Constitution of the United States than do any other American citizens! Don’t you just love how eventually right prevails? Don’t you just hate how sometimes it takes waaaaaay too long for that to happen? Speaking of hairballs in the clogged sink of moral progress, it’s been a tough few days for those who believe that gay... Read more

Not even the might and will of the Christian church
