“Liberal Bible scholarship over the last two centuries has denied that Paul wrote Ephesians, 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus; and doubted that he wrote Colossians and 2 Thessalonians. However, all the epistles listed above except Hebrews say they are written by Paul. As they are authoritative Scripture which “cannot lie”, their claims should be believed.” “The Bible: Pauline Epistles” - Conservapedia

Sublime mix by Tony Humphries of haunting gospel from the Joubert Singers.

We must not question the good Lord
Have faith in God and trust his words

Just leave your brain at the door of the church, folks…

Seversky skewers Christianity

I see they’re back to the Problem of Evil. Again.

It’ll all be Adam (and Eve’s) fault for trying a fruit diet. Again.

There’ll be no satisfactory explanation of why an omniscient being didn’t see it coming a mile off and why an omnipotent being didn’t do anything about it. Again.

There’ll be no moral justification for punishing not just the original offenders but all their descendants in perpetuity. Again.

There’ll be no explanation of why God lied to Adam and no discussion of what that implies for everything else God is reported to have said. Again.

Finally, and much more fundamentally, there will be no discussion of why a necessary being, such as the Christian God must be to be an Uncaused First Cause, would ever create a Universe and populate it with beings with whom he wants to enter into a loving relationship. Again.

A beautiful takedown of Christian theology and apologetics by Seversky @ atbc

The Holy Prepuce - This Week in Holy Crimes

This week’s winner:

New Jersey: Members of the Walking with Christ sect have pleaded not guilty of causing the death of an eight year-old girl after forcing the child to fast in order to achieve holiness. Pastor Emanyel Kris told followers that even to swallow one’s own saliva was a “sin” and a violation of his fasting edict. The victim’s mother is charged with aggravated manslaughter. Pastor Kris has not been charged with anything.
