Reading Time: 10 minutes While someone might see this movie and assume–as I did repeatedly–that it was hawking a particular marriage advice manual, The Love Dare, that’s not entirely true. The characters repeatedly reference the book and laud how amazing it is and how much it’s helped their marriages, but the movie is quite clear about exactly what really saved Kirk’s marriage in the movie.

Reading Time: 19 minutes Everybody can learn new things. Why, just this morning I figured out how to get italics into my blog post titles.

Reading Time: 10 minutes I’m just going to warn you now: stuff like we’re about to discuss today is exactly why a certain Christian apologist is now the subject of an erotic e-novel involving a crocoduck.

The Great Left Behind-a-Palooza
Reading Time: 16 minutes To my astonishment, a quick search on Netflix revealed not only the new version of the movie but also the original Kirk Cameron version–and the two Kirk Cameron sequels. I feel like a five-year-old on Christmas morning suddenly. I’d say we’re set.

Jesus is supposed to have left some very explicit instructions […]

The Cult of Before Stories: Shane Hayes, Part 1.

The Christian’s Guide to Ex-Christians: You’ve Got to Quit This Tone Trolling.
Reading Time: 8 minutes Today I saw an article about Kevin Sorbo, who has clearly ridden the short bus past his stop and ended up going all the way to Crazytown, talking about Bill Maher and dismissing him entirely because he sounds “angry” and “hateful.” Now, back in the day, Kevin Sorbo was famous for portraying Hercules, a totally […]

Update on that Macklemore Grammys Story I Posted–
Reading Time: 4 minutes I didn’t feel like updating the story I did about the Grammys yet again (hopefully the link works this time), but two more things about it that I thought were interesting and might be of interest to y’all as well: * A Christian rapper has done exactly what Christians have always done ever since the […]
