Marketing Wins: Why Rob Bell Isn’t Going to Hell

Last updated on: February 28, 2011 at 11:23 am By Zack Hunt

Remember when Jesus said “Hate everyone that doesn’t agree with you theologically and call them heretics?” Me neither. Then again if you were to read most of the blogs and tweets that have popped up over the weekend concerning Rob Bell’s new book Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived you would think that the primary mission of the church is to trash everyone who’s theology doesn’t align with yours and sentence them...

How to Speak Christianese

Last updated on: February 25, 2011 at 10:26 am By Zack Hunt

One of my biggest pet peeves in the church is “Christianese”, words and phrases we use in the church that are only used in the context of church and which no one outside of church can understand. Granted every religion, culture, and community will have its own vocabulary which will be foreign to outsiders. I whole heartedly embrace the language of the faith. The problem, however, in my experience is two-fold. First, most people inside the church really have no clue what... Read more

Christian Remake of Eminem’s “Real Slim Shady”

Last updated on: February 24, 2011 at 2:56 pm By Guest Contributor

If you’re like me, the two passions in your life are white rappers and Jesus Christ. To my own dismay, these two worlds rarely- if ever- collide. Well, brace yourself- because below is a Jesusified version of “The Real Slim Shady” called “The Real Jesus Christ.” And yes, it is every bit as awesome as you think it would be. Watch out Lecrae! Lyrics below the video. “The Real Jesus Christ” May I have your attention please? May I... Read more

Seven Bowls of Wrath

Last updated on: February 24, 2011 at 10:40 am By Zack Hunt

“1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.” 2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. 3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person,...

Geico Church Commercial

Last updated on: February 23, 2011 at 12:18 pm By Zack Hunt

Let me preface this by saying that I really really hate the “Can you really save 15% or more on car insurance by switching to Geico?” commercials. One, they’re not funny. At all. I actually change the channel whenever they come on. Two, it’s the 21st century and you’re a major company. Stop shooting your commercials in 4:3. However, this church’s parody is actually pretty amusing. In fact, I would argue it’s infinitely funnier than the real thing. Read more

I just got back from a weekend in Gatlinburg with my youth group. I’ve been there several times before and am well aware of the tacky tourist atmosphere, but I had no idea it was such a hotbed of American Christian paraphernalia. Here are just a few of my favorites. First up, a couple of tshirts. This first one isn’t too earth shatteringly amazing, but what makes it more amusing is the fact that it, along with the other shirt, was... Read more

This church really wants to talk to you about sex…

Last updated on: February 21, 2011 at 2:44 pm By Guest Contributor

The Ignite Church in Joplin, Missouri likes sex. Alot. And it thinks that you should like it too. They are putting billboards up all over town that are causing quite a stir. Why? Because some of them imply that people are- GASP!- having sex. The pastor defends his billboard, explaining that all of the couples on the billboard are married, so it’s kosher. Most of them advertise a sermon series that the church is doing, which now has... Read more

Fundie Friday – part 23

Last updated on: February 18, 2011 at 10:38 am By Zack Hunt

Today as part of Fundie Friday your job is to “cancel the devil’s assignment!” How do you do that? Easy, send Jentezen Franklin your paycheck. Maybe it’s just me, but has anybody else ever noticed the suit evolution that happens on Christian TV? Somebody like Jentezen Franklin starts off wearing something really shabby while their slumming it on the telethon, but over the years as their appearances on the show increase their suits get nicer and nicer until they eventually...

Praise God Tonight

Last updated on: February 17, 2011 at 10:38 am By Zack Hunt

This wonderful little diddy is actually brought to us by our friends to the north, but as we all know Canada is really just a little America. Sorry Canadian friends, but you know it’s true. I’m assuming that this is the fulfillment of the artistic vision KC and the Sunshine Band had when they originally wrote “Get Down Tonight.” Puppets singing a remixed Christian version of their classic song. Say a little prayer, sing a little song, praise God tonight! Read more

That title isn’t a typo. Apparently it stands for “Hardcore Bible Thumping Spirit Filled Jesus Freaks.” It’s so obvious now. I don’t know why I didn’t get that the first time. Anyway, we present yet another reason why you probably shouldn’t make your own homemade Christian rap video. Although I will say that nothing says “gangsta” more than sitting in front of a wooden fence. Orange pants and a touch of auto-tune don’t hurt either. Read more
