Last updated on: January 4, 2023 at 3:46 pm By Keith Giles

A recent article in The Daily Beast has stirred a bit of controversy regarding the suggestion by some scholars that the Virgin Mary was actually a slave of Joseph’s rather than his wife.

Here’s why this... Read more

Progressive Christianity Year In Review 2022

Last updated on: December 29, 2022 at 8:20 pm By Keith Giles

Now that this year is just about over, let’s take some time to look back at some of the highlights [and low points] of 2022. In the Christian world, things were volatile and slightly disturbing. We had more confirmation of the rise and threat of Christian Nationalism in our nation, with high-profile political and religious leaders openly in favor of creating a Christian Theocracy in this nation, and more than a little indication that they may have the power and...

Okay, I hate to be “that guy” who spoils the fun and points out the fantasy isn’t real, but someone has to do it. I mean, yes, I am the guy who pointed out that the whole “Laminin is the shape of a cross” thing was nonsense a few years ago, and yes, I did write a blog post debunking the whole BLOOD MOON PROPHECY hoax, so…maybe I am “that guy”, but whatever.
