Should Christians Celebrate Global Warming?

Last updated on: January 28, 2013 at 11:03 am By Zack Hunt

Christian Nightmares found and posted this image yesterday. While it leaves me more than a bit flabbergasted, I don’t find it all that surprising. Countless people in the church are convinced that the Second Coming is imminent. As in Jesus is probably, no definitely coming back tomorrow. Why are they so convinced? In a word, ok two words, terrible theology. Don’t hear me wrong. I’m not saying expecting the Second Coming of Jesus is terrible theology. What I’m saying is... Read more

The Changing Face Of The Christian Faith (Or Why Mark Driscoll Tweets & John Piper Blog Posts Matter)

Last updated on: January 24, 2013 at 11:43 am By Zack Hunt

If you happened to find yourself on the internet on Monday, then chances are you may have heard about this tweet from Mark Driscoll. Not surprisingly it caused a bit of a ruckus (as so many of the things he says do). Also not surprisingly, people came out of the woodwork, not so much to defend him (though, of course, some did), but to attack people who had the apparent audacity to criticize him. These sorts of attacks usually go... Read more

Jesus Galifianakis

Last updated on: January 22, 2013 at 12:30 pm By Zack Hunt

This has apparently been out there for a while, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it, so I’m sharing it because I think it’s hilarious. And before anyone comes out of the woodwork to cry “blasphemy!”, this is not blasphemy. No one in claiming Zach Galifianakis is Jesus. Nor is anybody making fun of Jesus. Whoever created this image is just pointing out the striking and hilarious resemblance between Zach and this portrait of Jesus. Read more

What If The Next Four Years Were Different?

Last updated on: January 21, 2013 at 9:45 am By Zack Hunt

Today officially marks the unofficial start to President Obama’s second term as President of the United States. It goes without saying that there are just about as many people upset about today’s festivities as there are those chanting “four more years.” We have a long standing tradition in the United States of being critical of the President. It’s been going on since the dawn of the country and probably won’t be ending any time soon. But what if it did?... Read more

A Prophetic Song About The Denver International Airport

Last updated on: January 18, 2013 at 9:34 am By Zack Hunt

I’ve posted plenty of stuff over the past couple of years from the one and only William Tapley, aka The Third Eagle of the Apocalypse. But if you’ve somehow managed to miss them, or you just skipped over them, now is your time to remedy that mistake. If you have seen some of the Tapley posts, then you’ll probably recall that he has been featured on both Anderson Cooper’s Ridiculist as well as The Colbert Report. Both of those appearances...

Pastor Turns MMA Fighter To Raise Money For Church

Last updated on: January 18, 2013 at 9:08 am By Zack Hunt

You’ve gotta fight…. For your right… To haaaaavvveee… Church! Ok, that was terrible. My apologies. Last year Kevin James starred in a movie called Here Comes the Boom in which he played a school teacher who became a MMA fighter into to raise desperately needed money for his school. Now a pastor in Valdosta, GA seems to be turning fiction into reality. I know what you’re thinking. How did Mark Driscoll not think of this first?! Original story here Read more

Why Was Jesus Baptized? (Or Why Baptizing Infants Isn’t Heresy)

Last updated on: January 16, 2013 at 9:54 am By Zack Hunt

Classes started up again for me this week, yesterday to be specific. One of the classes I attended yesterday is called Reformation Europe. It’s a look at the various reformations (because there was more than one) that went on during this period in the life of the church, as well as the state. During his lecture, the professor made an offhand comment that I found to be rather interesting. Apparently during this time it was required by law (because the... Read more

When God Was Found In A Cave

Last updated on: January 14, 2013 at 10:33 am By Zack Hunt

(via) Yesterday at church I saw a video about hope in the new year. There was nothing particularly wrong with it. Standard Christian video fare. An inspirational song set to cheerful images and lyrics. What stuck out to me were the images being used in the video. On their own they were rather innocuous – smiling families, a big, new house, people celebrating a new job, etc. Again, nothing particularly interesting about those images in and of themselves, but when...
