Reading Time: 11 minutes He Gets Us is now a billion-dollar advertising campaign, funded and supported by hard-right evangelical culture warriors with strong ties to hate groups. But here they are, trying to make Jesus sound like the ultimate good guy.

Reading Time: 2 minutes The Roman Catholic Church announced yesterday that the organization will change its name to Candle as part of a major rebranding. The head of the Vatican’s marketing team, Cardinal Lampeter, delivered the news. “Polling indicated that people mostly know us as a global network of pedophile-enablers,” said Lampeter. “Unfortunately, it’s hard to move forward when all […]

Reading Time: 8 minutes Hi and welcome back! It didn’t take long after Hillsong’s troubles became public for Christians to engage in one of their favorite pastimes: criticizing megachurches.

Reading Time: 10 minutes Last time we met up, we covered a book about evangelism called Soul-Winning Made Easy, by C.S. Lovett. Like most of these sorts of guides, this one asks its readers to deceive their evangelism targets about what kind of game they’re playing.
