What’s Hell Like?

“What’s hell like?” my oldest child asked me, pretty much destroying every cheery thought I’d been having as I drove the road to home. Kids are full of questions. I answered as simply as I could, which [fortunately] is a habit for me. ”It’s a bad place. It’s full of flames, because it’s a place of punishment; […]

On the Compatibility of Christian Faith & Evolution: Which Atheist is Lying To Us?

This weekend, atheist Dr. Michael Zimmerman is once again encouraging churches to preach Darwin from their pulpits. He claims that his Clergy Letter Project, signed by over 12,000 members of predominantly liberal clergy, shows that evolution and Christianity are compatible so long as we define religious truth as dealing with doctrine and morality and scientific […]

The Archko Volue describes Joseph as being "as gross and as glum as he looks," rather than being a just man.

Christmas & the Archko Library

Every Christmas and Easter, I get tons of hits on The Archko Volume, or Archko Library by the Rev. W. D. Mahan. Proponents of this work of pseudo-apocrypha, including televangelist Benny Hinn, claim that the Archko Volue is an authentic historical work recovered from the Vatican Library which authenticates many of the events of the […]

How Televangelist Pat Robertson Should Have Answered Concerned Mother Michelle’s Dinosaur Question

A viewer named Michelle asked the following of televangelist Pat Robertson: “I have three teenage boys and now two of them are questioning the Bible. This scares me!

Why I Didn’t Need to Call NASA To KNow the World Isn’t Going To End on December 21, 2012

Yes, I’m still offering Johnny Came Home free on Kindle today. No, that’s not what this post is about. I’m writing this post because I found out that NASA was/is being flooded with calls and emails from folks wanting to know if Doomsday is here.

2012, the Mayan Calendar & the Free Kindle Book at the End of the World

The Mayan Long Calendar ends on December 21, 2012 and everyone’s seeing that as a sign of an impending Apocalypse. Well, not everyone. The Mayans were actually looking forward to it as something of a Golden Age per some scholars. In any case, Christians need not fear this hocus pocus. Jesus adamantly stated even He didn’t know the […]

What Christmas Means and Why I Hope Bart Ehrman Gets It Someday

A recent Newsweek cover [Dec. 17, 2012] pictures the Nativity and claims that Bart Ehrman will answer such questions as “Who was Jesus? Did he have a wife? How many wise men were there? Why Bethlemhem? In a manger or a cave?” Unfortunately, the cover is referring to an article inside called “The Myths of Jesus.” In […]

Objections to Young Earth Creationism Often Reveal A Basic Misunderstanding of Science

Recently, I ran across a few comments about this image on a site called atheistthinktank.net. I really don’t expect fans on these sites, but I was surprised to see that their basic objections reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of the debate. For example, take this comment by someone who sadly identifies themself as nogodsforme: “What the eff? I […]

Another Great Review of Johnny Came Home: Is Survival of the Fittest Justifiable Among Humans?

Peter R. Stone, author of A Knight from Dein, posted this awesome review of Johnny Came Home on Amazon: After his parents perished in a house fire, Johnny vowed never to return to his hometown, to never again see the boarded up remains of his fire-gutted family home. Yet inexplicably he returns, dragging his best […]
