Last summer when I was working at a Christian youth camp, I was walking back to the staff apartments when I saw that someone (presumably a camper) had written in chalk on the asphalt: “WHO ARE WE TO DOUBT?” This disturbed me, because A) I didn’t like that...

Snake Handling Pastor Dies From Snake Bite

Last updated on: June 1, 2012 at 9:46 am By Zack Hunt

This story is just sad. All the more sad because it didn’t have to happen (the oft-cited passage for snake handling doesn’t appear in the oldest versions of Mark). Biblical exegesis aside, I genuinely hope and pray that his family and friends are finding the comfort and support they need. Serpent-handling pastor profiled earlier in Washington Post dies from rattlesnake bite Washington Post By Julia Duin Mack Wolford, a flamboyant Pentecostal pastor from West Virginia whose serpent-handling talents were...

Politician Preachers

Last updated on: May 31, 2012 at 10:03 am By Zack Hunt

Do you remember the story of God leading George Washington out of his tent and promising him that God would make of ole’ George a great nation and that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the shore? How about the story of Thomas Jefferson going up on the mountainside to receive the law from God which outlined America’s covenant relationship with God?

Jesus Is Coming, Better Get Your Hair Done!

Last updated on: May 30, 2012 at 11:30 am By Zack Hunt

Well, those crazy Brits are at it again. First, it was a pastor leaving the ministry to become an Elvis impersonator/evangelist. Now, a hair salon is using the Second Coming to promote their business. When will the madness end?! Hopefully not soon because this is rather entertaining. ‘Jesus is coming, better get your hair done’ advert deemed not offensive The Telegraph The advert for Barber Brown’s hair salon, which is based in Bristol but has a string...

Researchers Discover Exact Day Of Jesus’ Crucifixion

Last updated on: May 30, 2012 at 8:47 am By Zack Hunt

Or maybe they haven’t. Who knows for sure, but this a really interesting story nonetheless. Using records of earthquake activity in the area, a group of geologists have determined that Jesus was crucified on April 3, 33 A.D. I just don’t know why they put so much time and effort into their research. They should have just done what the rest of us do when we need find an answer: Google it. It really would have saved them... Read more

How Being ‘Radical’ Became A Bad Joke

Last updated on: May 29, 2012 at 8:12 am By Zack Hunt

I don’t feel much like a Christian. At least not when I read the Gospels. Jesus said “sell everything you have and give it to the poor.” On a good week I give 10% of my paycheck. Jesus fed the hungry. I usually just feed myself. Jesus said “turn the other cheek” and “love your enemies.” I still think violence can sometimes solve problems. Jesus was mocked, arrested, and murdered for what he said and did. I worry... Read more
