or, If God Has a Wonderful Plan for My Life, Why Am I Suffering? From my files: September 2008. My long-time readers know that the best way to get a post out of me is for somebody to ask me a thoughtful question. That hasn’t happened as much lately as it used to, but the other [...]
March 4 is National Grammar Day! Hooray! Unfortunately, I don’t have time to do a hilarious hagiography like I did last year, or much of anything really, being too busy correcting grammar for a living. So here’s the next best thing: What would a grammar holiday be without some rousing choruses of Schoolhouse Rock? Bet [...]
Today on a blog that discusses issues of spiritual abuse– the blog in question is directed to survivors of a high-control group that puts a lot of emphasis on finding God through physical suffering, righteous living, and other forms of legalism– a very interesting question was raised in this post: If you purposely choose to practice [...]
Good heavens! Rev. Bosco Peters of Liturgy.co.nz has gone and found it. It’s a St. Peter joke (you know, this guy dies and goes to the pearly gates and he meets St. Peter and St. Peter says….) that actually has good theology. Well, for a St. Peter joke. Have a gander: A man dies and goes [...]

(They’re the ones who popularized the infamous slogan, “God hates [anti-homosexual slur redacted]s.”) For reasons unfathomable [...]

When you consider that non-Christians don’t, that would mean that Phelps would go but not Princess Di and M. Gandhi. Is this fair? –J. M., [...]
[From my archives.] Ah, those good old Pharisees. They’ve been dead and gone for centuries, yet we never tire of talking about the dangers of their beliefs. I’ve lost count of the number of sermons I’ve heard, articles I’ve seen, and books I’ve read that in some way or another caution the Christians of modern days [...]
