Pedophilia: The next new “Alternate Sexuality”.

What a difference a summer makes, am I right? We now have “gay marriage” (pronounced “gay mirage“) in America, where we like to beg for the wrath of God upon us by pretending to make it “legal”. (See: “Supreme Court” Votes for Wrath of God Upon America.) Then there’s “Transgenderism”. You can’t check out in an […]

Beyond Debate: The never-ending “conservative” pitch for Statism (A biblical review of Round 1 of the GOP “debate” – Fire Breathing Christian Podcast Episode 6)

Ever notice how all the supposedly “conservative” leaders anointed and appointed by the national Republican Party seem to always end up leading us deeper and deeper into the Socialism and state-dependency that they claim to oppose? (See: How’s that Pagan “conservatism” workin’ out for ya, Christian?) Ever notice that no matter how many Republican Representatives, Senators, […]

Americans Embrace Trump’s Dismissal of Repentance

Who needs God? Especially when you have the world’s largest military and the world’s reserve (fictional) currency? (See: Fiat $lavery: We have been bought and paid for…with nothing.) Who needs repentance? Especially when good ol’ America-centered American pride has gotten ya this far, right? (See: How’s that Pagan “conservatism” workin’ out for ya, Christian?) Who […]

US Army protects man-on-boy rape en route to first openly gay leader.

What does a culture – and its military – look like when it is severed from the lordship of Christ? What does a culture look like and what does its military become when both define and pursue “security”, “liberty”, and “freedom” apart from submission to the King of kings? What does a culture and its military devolve […]

Christians rally for the “rights” of Satanists to worship Satan in America.

Interesting and important conversations are taking place in America. Critical and challenging thoughts are being entertained in a serious way by many Americans for the first time in a good long while (if ever). We are now being forced, by the grace of God, to consider what it means exactly to worship and what it […]

How to actually defeat Islam. Guaranteed.

How can we really and truly defeat Islam, ISIS, ISIL, and every other (genuine or contrived boogeyman) used by our Pagan Political Right and Pagan Political Left Statist “leaders” and “experts” to lead us by the nose to perpetual war abroad and deeper into the living hell of Orwellian Statism at home? (See: Problem>Reaction>Solution – […]

Liars, Jokers, and Thieves: Do we really want Jesus or do we just want His stuff?

“In God We Trust!” “God bless America!” “Oh, how I love Jesus!” This lingo is all over the place in America. As the culture war rages, loud and proud appeals are constantly made by tens of millions of American professing Christians – especially “conservatives” – who claim to love, trust, and adore God. But what do […]

Why do we allow the open practice of Islam, witchcraft, and Satanism in America?

One of the weirdest and most telltale signs that we’ve become a people completely disconnected from reality is the way that here in America, even most “conservative” professing Christians have come to cherish and defend the concept of religious pluralism. The idea that we have the “God-given ‘right’” to worship any god or practice any religion […]

But “Our Schools Are Different!”, Says The State-Discipled Mind

So what if our children are taught that all religions are to be respected equally? So what if our children are taught as much about Islam as they are about Christianity…and all from a supposedly “neutral perspective” (in stark contrast to a biblical perspective)? So what if our children are taught to presuppose no absolute […]

Woman jailed for obeying God in America…while Gay America chants “love wins!”

County Clerk for Rowan County, Kentucky – Kim Davis – was led off to jail today after refusing to issue licenses for “gay marriages” in direct violation of the unbreakable, unshakable, universally binding Word of God. Welcome to America. Welcome to the New America, where we are now reaping the full, foul fruit of “We the […]

Presuppositional Civil Government: Who we view as owning civil government determines how we will pursue civil government.

What is government? More specifically, what is civil government? Put another way, what is The State? What are its roles, responsibilities, and limitations? Where might we as Christians go to find the answers to these important questions…hrmmm….I wonder… Maybe to…The State? Ummm…nope. Okay, maybe State-certified and State-approved educators then? Uh…no. Bad idea. Well, howsabout other […]

Technology, Family, And Our Awesome Opportunity For Decentralization

  I don’t know about you, but I like good news. Especially The Good News, which thankfully carries along with it an infinite amount of lesser (but still incredibly powerful) good news through which we can actually do great things right here and now. (See: The Awesome Gospel.) And probably like you, I could really use […]

What if Planned Parenthood butchered pensions and savings accounts instead of babies?

It’s funny how a major drop in the stock market helps to put things in perspective. There are obviously a lot of things you can mess with, trample, and destroy here in America without much fear of serious repercussions…like the lives and bodies of little baby boys and girls, for example. You can attack, mock, perpetually redefine, and strive […]

Why our economic Jenga Tower Of Babel must fall. (Hint: Proverbs 11:1)

So the stock market is careening (again), the talking heads are flipping out (again), and our dearly beloved pagan “leaders” and “experts” are being looked to for economic security and salvation (again). Welcome to the world of Fiat $lavery, an economic construct built upon the laughably insane and wildly unbiblical notion that some should have the […]

10 Reasons Christians Should Not Teach In Public Schools

Some of my favorite people have been public school teachers. Some of my favorite people are public school teachers. Some of my favorite people are Christians who are teaching or have taught in American public schools. As a product/victim of American State-run worldview programming myself, I have much to be thankful for. High on the list is God’s perfect, purposeful use […]

What if Christians in public “schools” taught Christ instead of Paganism?

What are professing Christians who work for the State-run “education” system supposed to do? How are they supposed to teach? How are they to supposed to present truth? How are they supposed to define and share knowledge? What approach the pursuit of knowledge are they supposed to model for their students? How are they commanded […]

Why “conservatives” love funding liberalism. (And how they do it.)

When it comes to State dependency, professing Christian “conservatives” are just as keen on the concept as “those crazy/stupid liberals” that they love to whine about and blame for pretty much everything. They’re just too immersed in American State propaganda and “education” to notice. Pagan “Christian” conservatives are all about propping up and “fixing” explicitly Marxist concepts […]

The Ultimate (and completely safe) “Debate”-Watchers’ Drinking Game

D-Day has arrived. Zero hour is nearly upon us. I am of course speaking of The Big Show (of the moment): Tonight’s 10-man corporate controlled political puppet cage match being put on by Fox News in Cleveland. The stakes are high and the contrived drama is higher. Trumpamania is already running wild and The Donald will be taking center […]

Welcome to the 2016 Parade of Republican Statists

Wanna know where the long term embrace of a wildly unbiblical “lesser of two evils” approach to leadership selection leads? Wanna know how easy it is for anti-Christian corporate/banking elites to steer us straight on into hard core Statism through their production, promotion, and control of The All-American Political Puppet Show? Well there’s no need to wonder. Just […]

The Corporate Sponsored Death of Gender in America

“Be all that you can be!” “You can do anything that you set your mind to!” “Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do!” “Don’t let anything stand between you and your goals!” These are the All-American (and Corporate-sponsored) emotion-driven battle cries of self-absorption that have come to define us. Our songs, […]

Just in case you still think Republicans are ever going to actually stop abortion…

So which of the two All-American Pagan political parties gave us the majority of Supreme Court Justices who gave us “legal” abortion in America? The Republicans. And which of the two All-American Pagan political parties gave us the majority of Supreme Court Justices who gave us ObamaCare, which expands federal funding of…you guessed it…abortion. The Republicans. […]

Our Big Fat Greek Economic Future

Last month in Greece is the word. (That nobody wants to hear.) we reminded folks of the many lessons to be learned and warnings to be had by way of the unfolding fiat-currency-fueled economic crisis in Greece. Later in Fake it ’til ya break it: What the Greek implosion tells us about America’s future. we continued to […]

Our Inevitable Victory Over Satanic “Education”

These days in America, it’s often professing Christians who seem to least believe that Christ the King actually owns and defines all of reality (see: Colossians 1:16). After generations of immersion in a man-centered, emotion-driven, and culturally disengaged religious worldview masquerading as Christianity, we’ve largely come to expect the victory of Christ’s enemies all around us here on His […]

Presuppositional Law: Where we begin with law determines where we end.

What is law? What is the basis for law? What ultimately determines whether a thing is lawful or lawless? What we often automatically and unconsciously presuppose about the origin and nature of law determines what we will allow ourselves to see and consider from that point forward. Our presuppositions about the essence of law dictate which “truths” we […]

Trumpamania runs wild! (Yes, he can really win…and yes, we really deserve him.)

August 6. That’s the day America is waiting for. That’s the day that it is on! August 6 in Cleveland, Ohio: Trumpamania gets real. Or unreal. Or more unreal. Or…well…you get the picture. Whatever it is, this Trumpamania thing is getting serious. Seriously funny, seriously sad, and seriously bizarre all at the same time. It’s […]

How’s that Pagan “conservatism” workin’ out for ya, Christian?

So how is our Pagan “conservatism” and America worship working out for us? How’s that 40+ year “pro-life commitment” from the GOP panning out? (See: Note to ‘Merica: There is no “God-given right” to murder children. Repent accordingly.) How’s that GOP/”conservative” defense of “family values” playing out? (See: Of course Jeb Bush is “fine” with […]

Is it okay to ask the military what happened to our freedom?

I know that this is touchy. I know that we’ve been conditioned to avoid even the consideration of such thoughts and subjects. I know that even asking the question will have many tempted to immediately tar and tag me as “unpatriotic” or some sort of commie pinko who should just shut up, stop thinking such things, stop […]

Bankers to Laughing Greek Public: You can trust us! Really!

So where does the wildly unbiblical and culture-enslaving practice of black magic fiat currency economics ultimately and invariably lead? To State dependence for the masses and civilizational control for the elites who own and operate said State, that’s where. (See: Fiat $lavery: We have been bought and paid for…with nothing.) At the end of the day, all […]

God bless America. And Planned Parenthood.

Revelation leading to repentance can be a very hard thing. That’s it’s nature. But that doesn’t make it any less a blessing from God. Thankfully, these days we’re getting a whole lotta revelation. Not much in the way of repentance yet, but God is graciously keeping the revelations coming anyway. (See: Will America repent or will America be […]

When Conservatism Trumps Christianity

One of the most simultaneously mystifying and terrifying realities of our day is that there are those who really, truly, and actually believe that professional wrestling is real. I mean really real. Not just that it exists. Not just that it’s “fun” for some in a silly kinda way. Not just that it’s like a harmless, if idiotic, parody […]

Confronting Americult

For those hoping, praying, and pulling for true restoration in America, the past weekend offered us the clearest sign yet that we are nowhere near even beginning to head in that direction as a people. The one thing to watch for in this or any other culture where death is near and restoration is desperately […]

Happy Secession Day!

Happy Secession Day, America! After last week’s wave of catastrophic “Supreme Court” decisions handed down from the Federal level (see: “Supreme Court” Votes for Wrath of God Upon America), more and more Americans are beginning to think long and hard about the radical decentralization of political power that played such a pivotal role in bringing […]

Why using the Ten Commandments as a lucky rabbit’s foot is a really bad idea.

Contrary to popular American mythology, things like Bibles and Ten Commandments monuments make lousy (and particularly blasphemous) lucky rabbits’ feet. When we use them as superstitious icons and trinkets of protection – as we routinely do here in “the land of the free” and the home of the NSA – we aren’t proclaiming our fidelity to […]

Biblical decentralization of power. Learn it. Live it. Love it.

First off, before anyone gets any wacky ideas about hijacking and mutilating the point of this article, let me make something crystal clear: The practice of chattel slavery as practiced in and advocated by the Confederacy was (and is, in the many lands that still practice it today) a vile, disgusting thing. It is one of the most […]

American Public Schools are Officially Gay

On Friday, millions upon millions of American “Christians” were outraged – outraged, I tell you! – at the “Supreme Court” vote in favor of “gay marriage” as the “law” of the land. Then on Monday many of these very same outraged Christian conservatives freely shipped the delicate, impressionable little boys and girls that God has […]

Will America repent or will America be destroyed?

Can we stop with the “blame Obama” spiel, please? Can we please stop blaming the Democrats, the Progressives and the homosexual activists for leading the culture to ruin when they’re just doing what we’ve taught ’em to do? Let’s face it: Some version of “Can you believe how wicked and evil President Obama is?!” has become an […]

“Supreme Court” Votes for Wrath of God Upon America

The “Supreme Court” verdict is in: “Gay marriage” is legit. [insert “U! S! A!” chant here] Of course, in Reality – as in, the unbreakable reality of a universe defined and held together by God – there is no such thing as “gay marriage”. (See: The Eternal Model for Marriage is Christ the King and […]

So this is what a (church built) zombie apocalypse looks like…

There’s something surreal about what’s happening here in “the land of the free” and the home of the NSA. Something creepy. Something disturbing. Many are understandably captivated by the looming “Supreme Court” decision as to whether American “law” is going to submit to God’s perfect, unalterable definition of marriage or become further broken by another sad, suicidal attempt to rebel against Truth. But […]

The Great American Purge of Decentralized Thought Continues

The Great American Purge of decentralized thought continues. Anyone advocating the radical decentralization of power must be silenced. Anything inspiring people to seriously consider and possibly embrace such decentralization must be eliminated. Any challenge to the supremacy and indivisible nature of the almighty American Corporate State cannot and will not be tolerated. (See: The God of Government […]

America’s Preferred (and Protected) Symbol of Slavery and Oppression

As you may have noticed, people are talking a lot about flags lately. And slavery. And oppression. And hate and feelings and sensitivities. And how Confederate flags and icons are uniquely worthy of a purge here in “the land of the free” and the home of the NSA. That’s the Corporate American Statists’ spin on […]

Why our “Supreme Court” insanity is anything but surprising.

  First, the good news: A decision has been made where the definition of marriage is concerned. It is a right decision. It is a good decision. It is a loving decision. Moreover, it is a perfectly right, good and loving decision. It is unbreakable, immutable, inescapable and undeniable. Any who would try to break, […]

What would happen if Christians just said no to American Statism?

“Follow the money.” “Money makes the world go ’round.” These are reliable clichés for good reason; they point to truth. The ability to control individuals, cultures and civilization through control of their ability to pursue, attain and multiply wealth is as well established a fact of human history as one will find. Money is practical. It’s […]

Southern Baptists flip out over “gay marriage”, but are okay with government-run children’s “education”.

There’s something bizarre about watching someone try to kill a hornet with a nuclear strike while simultaneously protecting the hornet’s nest from which it came, but that’s pretty much what we’re witnessing now from many “Christian leaders” who seem to take every opportunity to express outrage and even threaten civil disobedience over the looming Supreme Court pronouncement on […]

If American dollars express American values and we are about to change the $10 bill…

As Zero Hedge reminded us today, three things are true where the soon-to-be-announced new $10 American Federal Reserve Note is concerned: Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has revealed that Alexander Hamilton will soon be removed from the $10 note in favor of an as-yet-unnamed woman (or possibly “woman”). . Secretary Lew has stated that “America’s currency is a way for […]

Greece is the word. (That nobody wants to hear.)

There are two topics that we write on fairly regularly here that routinely cause site traffic and interest to dive. But we keep writing about ’em anyway because they’re important. One of those subjects is technology. The other is economics. For various reasons – many of which are rooted in lousy “end times” views that fuel […]

51,000,003 reasons why America owes Nazi Germany an apology.

[Author’s note: Since this was written in the summer of 2015, America has added millions to the death toll of innocent baby boys and girls murdered in the name of “freedom” and “liberty”. – SAB 11/8/17] The typical American guy is a stat hound. In the Internet-fueled era of things like fantasy football and day-trading, we’ve become […]

Franklin Graham’s Incoherent “Fight” Against the Homosexual Agenda

One of the least surprising things in all of God’s creation seems to be the thing that’s most surprising to the vast majority of “American conservative Christians” who simply cannot believe how fast the culture is melting down around them, particularly in the realm of sexuality. But really, what could be more predictable than the sexual, […]

When, if ever, should we actively disobey or disarm Police?

In a Police State, when the Police speak (or beat or tackle or shoot), you don’t challenge them. You simply conform to their will and obey. You don’t think for yourself in that moment. You don’t critically evaluate what one person is doing to another when the one doing it is wearing a badge. And you […]

Who owns America? (Hint: Not “We the People”.)

Who owns America? Contrary to popular ‘Merican belief, the correct answer is not “We the People”. (See: We the people…are not God.) The correct answer is Christ. While that is the correct answer, it is not at this time in ‘Merican history a particularly popular answer, even (and often especially) among many self-identified “conservative Christians” […]

Corporate America Crowns Bruce Jenner King (and/or Queen) of Courage

Welcome to our Brave New America, where nothing is sane and nothing is safe…except for our pride, of course. No gender is safe. No concept is safe. No area of life is safe. No word is safe. And ultimately, no thought is safe. This tragic reality becomes more and more clear when we bother to consider […]

Disney, the NSA, and Republicans’ relentless pimping of the America Idol.

Disney World is a magical place. But you knew that already. What you maybe didn’t know was just what kind of magic is really goin’ on ’round there. I’m talkin’ black magic. Some of the blackest – and bleakest – of magic, actually. Black economic magic, to be precise. I’m talkin’ ’bout the All-American Corporate […]

The Dennis Hastert Example and NSA Control of National Government

Okay, so let’s put on our thinking caps and try real hard to concentrate for just a second or two and consider the (probably very significant) relationship between two points… 1. The NSA needs to “protect our freedom and liberty” by gathering information on the citizens of the United States on a scale and at a level […]

Education Wars: Raising Corporate Cogs vs. Raising Jedi

Who are we and why are we here? What makes for a good life right here and now? What makes for a productive life right here and now? What is success? How is it best defined? How is it best pursued? The answers that we provide – and have been conditioned to provide – to […]

Why “Christians” throw Christians under the bus…and then run ’em over.

Leonard Ravenhill once said, “If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.” This is something to think about as we live in a very proud America defined by three things: A population overwhelmingly comprised of professing Christians. . A landscape dotted by thousands and thousands of often very well […]

Duggar Drama and the Trans-Jennerism of American Culture

‘Bout this time last month, ‘Merica was treated to the news that Bruce Jenner had “transitioned” into a Republican Christian Woman. ‘Bout this time last week, news erupted on the Duggar Family front, centering on revelations of serious sexual sin on the part of Josh Duggar when he was in his mid-teens (over a decade […]

The question we’re not supposed to ask on Memorial Day (or any other).

We’re encouraged to feel and do a lot of things on Memorial Day. We’re purposefully immersed in countless emotion-provoking images, speeches and sentiments. We’re encouraged to lovingly admire, support and adore our beloved American State. To that end, we’re called to remember the great sacrifices made by many to secure the freedoms and liberties that we now enjoy […]

Appreciating America vs. Worshiping America

As we roll into another Memorial Day, we must remember to keep the things we hold dear in their place, lest they become the things we hold dearest. Our families. Our friends. Our traditions. Our things. Even (and perhaps especially) our country. (See: The America Idol: How “Christians” Worship and Enable the Anti-Christ State.) If they are to inspire […]

Republican enabled ObamaTrade: Now *that’s* Progressive!

What could be more pure, virtuous and all-’round awesome for us all than a proposed national trade bill that is so incredibly supercool and sweet that nobody who has actually read it is allowed to even talk about the details in public before it’s voted on by our beloved “leaders” in DC? What could be more pixie-dust […]

Feeding Our Kids to the Big Gay Beast

You can do this in one of three ways: You can drop a few bucks in the tip jar by making a one-time donation through PayPal. You can make a regular contribution by joining our monthly […]

State-run schools teach sexual perversion (again). “Christians” pretend to be “shocked” and “horrified” (again)…and keep right on feeding their children to the beast.

So according to a report published late last week, some “shocked” American parents are “furious” about their government run school’s plan to teach kids about stuff like “gender fluidity” and “the gender spectrum”. To which one might be rightly compelled by concern and true love for these folks and their children to respond: What did you expect?! I […]

Hitler, Legos and the Art of Worldview Domination

Dictators and other wannabe gods can be funny things. Tragic too, but funny nonetheless, and I’m not talking about the little things like goofy little square mustaches or diva complexes. I’m talkin’ ’bout the Big Problem with these folks: They wanna be God. This desire is in each of us from birth, and there it remains until and […]

Putting Teeth into “Mark of the Beast” Economics

Ever wonder what a “Mark of the Beast” style economic system would look like in real world practice? Well, if the “leaders” we’ve allowed to design and direct the current global anti-Christian economic engine get their way, we’ll soon find out. As reported today in The Telegraph in How to end boom and bust: make […]

How to NOT stop the Big Gay Bullies that are raping the culture.

First off, let’s take a moment to duly note how pathetic and emasculated we’ve become here in the “land of the free and the home of the brave” when it is the assumed norm that American culture and civilization is going to be nagged, bullied and bought into compliance by a bunch of loudmouthed and fabulously malicious androgynous fruitloops. Way to go, ‘Merica! And […]

Jeb Bush makes the Pagan Right pitch on religion (again).

Ever wonder what it looks like when one’s politics defines one’s Christianity, rather than the other way around? Ever wonder what it looks like when openly unbelieving voices like Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and the hordes of Neo-Cons at Fox News become the sages, icons and prophets to which vast swaths of professing Christians look first, most and […]

Whose flag should fly highest over America?

Flags are symbols. Symbols of power and authority. You know that, I know that, and the powers that be atop the Corporate American State know that. So it should come as no surprise that those powers have trained us since childhood to pledge allegiance on cue to the selected symbol of the American State’s “indivisible” political union and power. […]

Isn’t our robotic future exciting? (Or: Should Christians fear or embrace technology?)

China has announced plans to construct an all-robot manufacturing plant. And this scares some people. There are good reasons for healthy concern (not to be confused with fear). A whole lotta folks and families are about to have their economic worlds – and overall worldviews – fundamentally rocked. They’re going to learn the hard way that the “reality” […]

Government run “education”…and why we don’t know anything anymore.

If there’s one thing we know, it’s that America is awesome! If there’s another thing that we know, it’s that we must place the American State above and beyond any serious challenge. The American State is the hope of the world. The American State cannot be allowed to falter. The American State must prevail…and, by the […]

Have the “We will not obey!” Christian “leaders” repented of their role in bringing us to this hellish condition in the first place?

Have you ever known someone who’s been pursuing a destructive path for a very long time and has been warned by many friends at many times all along the way that what they were doing was wrong, dangerous, and would ultimately lead to serious consequences? We’ve all experienced, witnessed or heard about such situations. You could say that we’ve all been […]

Lesbian Teaches Government School Kindergarteners About “Being Gay”

Shocking! Terrible! How could this happen?! How can those liberals do things like this to our adorable, innocent little children!? Have they no shame?! These are some of the things we think, say, and often hear from others as we witness our American culture and civilization flushing itself down the drain in increasingly dramatic fashion right before […]

Our Big, Gay, Cross-dressing Army. (Or: How ridiculously ungodly have we and our military become?)

The big, gay hits just keep a-comin’. This week we’ve already touched on the gloriously progressive turn that has come to and through American culture by way of “Transgender” approaches to Kindergarten. Last week it was the launch of a “Transgender” Girl(?) Scouts program in Utah(!). Today we’re acknowledging America’s fabulous new high heels wearing crop of U.S. […]

And now for “Transgender” Kindergarten, as brought to you by…American “Christianity”

  Last week we covered the new move to support “Transgender” Girl(?) Scouts in, of all places, Utah, so this week it should come as little surprise to anyone with half a clue that we’re now able to confirm…Transgender-friendly Kindergarten! Woohoo! Isn’t tolerance awesome?! Isn’t Christ-dismissing “education” sweet?! And isn’t it great that professing Christians have […]

Manning the life boats as America shifts into iceberg-ramming mode.

You know you’re doing something right when both The Huffington Post and The New York Times get all worked up and start to sound the “separation of God from civil government/law/education” alarms. In this case, the alarm-worthy event is the passage of a bill in the Tennessee State House of Representatives that would make The Bible the official state book. […]

Don’t be fooled by Hillary.

As if a witch leading Iowa legislators in prayer last week wasn’t comically tragic enough, the weekend followed up by treating us to the official launch of Hillary 2016. Adding some interesting zing to the Hillary launch was what some have called an “astounding typo”. Apparently, in promotion of her Big Day, the official Hillaryland press release phrase that included the line: “fought children […]
