Lawnmower Christianity

When I read the article above from an issue of the “Wall Street Journal,” I knew it was time to speak out. Sadly, it took a secular newspaper to expose a new distortion of Christianity: high-amped worship bands creating a secularized rock concert atmosphere, with deafening decibels. Some evangelical churches are saying goodbye to expository

Exorcism Excess

Last year, a Dallas jury, sentenced a Hispanic, female minister to 99 years in prison for starving to death a small child in an exorcism gone wrong. Pastor Aracely Meza tortured a little boy named Benjamin to drive out his demons. Meza claimed the little boy had the demon of manipulation and starved the youngster,

SLAYER’s Final Tour

For more than three decades they’ve claimed the title of the world’s most satanic band. Now, the death-metal musicians of Slayer are finally calling it quits. After years of extolling the pleasures of uninhibited demonism and hedonism, their thrashing guitars are going silent. At least that’s what their publicity says about their “final world tour.”

Addiction IS Your Fault

For weeks, the ad above (specific contact information removed) has appeared in major newspapers. Saying that “ADDICTION IS NOT YOUR FAULT” is dangerous because it connotes an underlying assumption. If you’re an addict, don’t blame yourself. I agree that shaming people won’t necessarily help them overcome an addiction. They’re already shamed by their dependency and heaping more guilt on them won’t help. But completely letting them off the hook
