John Hagee: God Is Angry About Obama’s Re-Election

Last updated on: November 16, 2012 at 8:54 am By Zack Hunt

According to fundamentalist mega-church pastor John Hagee, “God will hold America responsible” for not electing Mitt Romney. Hagee rattles off the normal list of political sins: gay marriage, abortion, and socialism. But it seems to be that last one that really sticks in his crawl. Sure, the early church may have sold all their possessions and shared everything in common, but if anyone messes with John Hagee’s 401K they will apparently have hell to pay. Literally. Is it just...

My Biggest Struggle

Last updated on: November 14, 2012 at 10:13 am By Zack Hunt

We all have our struggles. Some of us procrastinate. Some of us eat too much. Some of us drink too much. Some of us are greedy. I’ve become increasingly aware that my biggest struggle….is with other Christians. Seriously. There are few people or things in the world that get under my skin more easily or spark my anger faster than other Christians. Jesus said “love your enemies” as a challenge to his followers, but to be honest, a lot... Read more

Was Albert Mohler’s ‘Evangelical Disaster’ Actually A Good Thing?

Last updated on: November 13, 2012 at 9:00 am By Zack Hunt

In a recent interview Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president and the media’s apparent go-to evangelical for all quotes concerning evangelicalism, Albert Mohler described Mitt Romney’s loss in the presendential election as a “evangelical disaster.” He’s right. It was. At least for his particular brand of evangelicalism. But I think that disaster might actually be a good thing for evangelicalism as a whole. For starters, it liberates, or hopefully will liberate, evangelicalism from the cold, dead heads of people like... Read more

Alabama’s Loss To Texas A&M A Sign Of President Obama’s Imminent Demise?

Last updated on: November 12, 2012 at 8:57 am By Zack Hunt

I don’t think I’ve ever had back to back posts on the Third Eagle of the Apocalypse. Usually he spreads out his crazy prophecies over the course of a couple of weeks. However, apparently the University of Alabama’s stunning loss to Texas A&M over the weekend had more importance attached to it than just BCS rankings. According to the Third Eagle, headlines reading “down goes ‘BAMA” are really a signal that President O-BAMA will soon go down too. Personally,... Read more

God Is Using ‘Gangnam Style’ & ‘Call Me Maybe’ To Announce The Antichrist?

Last updated on: November 9, 2012 at 10:12 am By Zack Hunt

Keeping mind that William Tapley thinks the Denver International Airport is full of demonic phallic imagery, it’s not really surprising to hear him proclaim that Gangnam Style and Call Me Maybe are songs announcing the coming of the Antichrist. Sure, the Third Eagle has to tweak the lyrics of Gangnam Style to make his point. But, clearly, God has taken to making prophetic announcements through pop music. After all, if the popularity of Lady Gaga isn’t a sign of the... Read more

A Theology Of Beer

Last updated on: November 8, 2012 at 8:42 am By Zack Hunt

In many American Protestant traditions Jesus stands as a condemned sinner. Why? Because he drank alcohol. For these traditions, holy people would never drink alcohol in any form. Never mind the fact that Jesus and Paul would disagree with that assessment. (Side note: please don’t bother commenting with ridiculous revisionist histories of why Jesus “really” drank wine. This includes what is admittedly my favorite claim, that he turned water in to grape jelly, not wine. Seriously, I have heard... Read more

Unpaid Water Bill To Shut Down The Church Of The Holy Sepulchre?

Last updated on: November 7, 2012 at 10:01 am By Zack Hunt

This is sad. Jerusalem Church at Jesus’ Burial Site Facing Closure Over Unpaid Water Bill? By Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the site at which Jesus Christ is said to have been crucified and buried, is facing the danger of being closed down unless administrators can pay a water bill of up to $2.3 million. “The church is completely paralyzed,” said a Greek Orthodox Patriarchate who wished to remain anonymous. “We can’t...

Election and Eucharist

Last updated on: November 6, 2012 at 9:00 am By Zack Hunt

As Americans we love to fight. Our country was founded after a fight with the British. Less than a century later we fought to keep the country together. Ever since then, fighting to save the world, whether from the Nazis, communists, or terrorists, has, in many ways, shaped our identity as a country. As Christians we love to fight too. Our story starts in a garden where we fought for power with God. The Old Testament is littered... Read more
