Month: August 2008
Paganism & The Renaissance Festival
On my recent vacation, I attended the opening day of the Ohio Renaissance Festival. I’d been to this one about 7 years ago, so I kind of knew what to expect. There’s a few distinct groups who go to Ren Fairs: the performers and merchants [who often travel from fair to fair], Goths, metalheads, medieval…
What’s Wrong With Church 7: Everybody has a right to their own opinion, right?
It’s a sentence that poisoned the well into toxic sludge at at least one church I’ve attended. “Everybody has a right to their own opinion.” I didn’t know it at the time, but it was pretty much the unofficial motto of that church. I’m not sure exactly when I finally became aware of it. Almost…
Darwin’s Dyke: Monkeys and Their Typewriters
It really never ceases to amaze me how the Church of Darwin blindly ahderes to their spoonfed dogma, no matter how contradictory their claims are to the evidence. The infinite monkeys theorum is one of my favorites in this respect. The claim is as follows: Given an infinite amount of time an infinite amount of…
What’s Wrong With Church 6 – It Should Be Considered a SIN to make the Living Word of God BORING or TEDIOUS!!!
Pop quiz: The New Testament notes a few people who died in church. Do you remember who they were? And the cause of death? Well, there’s Annanias and Saphira, the good, upstanding church couple who sold their property in their zeal for the church. Unfortunately, greed got in the way. They promised the entire amount…
What’s Wrong With Church 5: Whatever Happened to Congregational Hymns?
OK, I’ll admit it. I find modern Praise and Worship music doctrinally shallow. A lot of the time they just sing a chorus over and over until they begin to feel some sort of emotion [tedium?]. I love the sentiments in those songs. I love the fact that [originally] they were psalms and scripture set…
What’s Wrong With Church 4: I Call Them “Special People” Cults
I can’t count the number of times I’ve visited a church, liked the people, liked the worship, liked the preaching and found out after about a month or two that there was simply NOTHING to do there. I’m not saying it was boring. I’m one of those guys who likes to dig in, roll up…
What’s Wrong With Church 3: Televangelists! Televangelists! Televangelists!
Is there anything more disgustingly and blatantly [dare I say, grossly] hypocritical than a televangelist? Seriously. How much good are these guys really doing [for anybody other than themselves]? They’ve given Christ a bad name ever since the PTL scandals of the eighties and nineties. You can just flip onto those channels at a random…
What’s Wrong With Church 2: No Children Allowed
There’s famous story in the Gospels about some mothers took their children to Jesus to be blessed. The disciples tried to turn them away under the basic assumption that the Master would not want to be bothered with children when He was doing some big, important ADULT religious stuff. They hadn’t asked Jesus. Jesus’ response…
What’s Wrong With Church 1: I am!
The other day, I commented on someone else’s blog and lamented that “I would love to be stoked by church, but most weeks I’m happy just to have SURVIVED it!” It’s one of my pet peeves but the Church of the Living God is, as Tommy Tenney once put it, “somewhat less than advertised.” Rather…
Creation Cryptids: For Sale: Jackelope in a Poke!
For those of you who were severely disappointed by the news that the Georgia Bigfoot, also known as the big Halloween costume shot at a tellingly odd angle and stuffed into a freezer, turned out to be a big hoax, we offer the following relief from cryptid fakery!
Kanawha Creation Science Group Conference Oct 3rd & 4th 2008
Since it’s occurring in my general area and since I’m a Creationist, I thought I’d drop you guys a note about an upcoming Creation conference. As the blog title notes, it will be on October 3 & 4 at Greater Things Fellowship in South Charleston, WV. Guest speakers will include Dr. Charles Jackson [whom I’ve heard…
