If Christianity Isn’t the Celebration of a Murder/Suicide Pact Between God the Father and God the Son, Then What is It?

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 5:35 pm By Frank Schaeffer

It’s Christmas. Time to ask, what the hell Christianity is about, if anything? If Christianity isn’t the celebration of a murder/suicide pact between God the Father and God the Son, then what is it? The Crucifixion seems to be something like the story of Abraham and Isaac when God tested Abram by asking him to kill his son. Then God said STOP! If evangelicals like Billy Graham are to be believed, when it came to his own son God said,... Read more

When Neighbors Asked About her Husband, Curious About the 52-year-old Man’s Disappearance, Kaling Wald Would tell Them he was “In God’s hands now.”

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 5:35 pm By Frank Schaeffer

“Peter Wald’s family truly believed he would rise from the dead. They believed it because they had prayed for it, every single day, while his corpse lay rotting for six months in an upstairs bedroom of their north-end Hamilton home.” Fundamentalists say they really believe and the rest of us don’t. But the dirty little secret of fundamentalism is that they say one thing but do another. I mean, why is Franklin Graham still raising money to pay himself close to... Read more

Tea Party America Just Spent 7 Years Lynching our First Black President So What Chance Do You Think a Young Black Man in Ferguson Had?

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 5:35 pm By Frank Schaeffer

Since white Tea Party/Fox News/Republican Party America lynched President Obama in slow motion over the last 7 years, what chance did Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, who was shot and killed on Aug. 9, by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, in Ferguson, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis have? Eric Garner’s dying words “I can’t breathe” as he was succumbing to a police officer’s chokehold reverberated in a wave of anger after a Staten Island grand jury declined to indict the... Read more

Something You’ll NEVER See in ‘Christianity Today’ magazine: My Facebook Friends’ Answers to This Question: “How to help former evangelicals navigate their way out of despair and towards meaningful action?”

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 5:35 pm By Frank Schaeffer

“Find a safe place. Come to understand just how unsafe and destructive evangelicalism is. Whether that safe place is a therapist’s office, a support group, a college classroom (critical thinking courses), a professor’s office hours, a preist’s study, reading a book like yours, Frank…” I asked my Facebook community to respond to this question: “How to help former evangelicals navigate their way out of despair and towards meaningful action?” Here are their answers… so far: (Are you on my FB...

How to help former evangelicals navigate their way out of despair and towards meaningful action?

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 5:35 pm By Frank Schaeffer

Here’s a letter from one of my readers that asks: “Because you have your finger on the pulse of this movement of alienated former Christians to a more specific degree than any public figure I am currently aware of- I encourage you to ponder how you might be able to be a leader in helping former evangelicals navigate their way out of despair and towards meaningful action…” So please read the letter, then go to my Facebook page and jump...

Is It Time to Dump the Word “Evangelical”?

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 5:35 pm By Frank Schaeffer

According to Wikipedia “Evangelicalism is a worldwide Protestant movement, maintaining that the essence of the gospel consists in the doctrine of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ‘s atonement.” The truth is something else. Let me rephrase: Evangelicalism is a worldwide Protestant movement, maintaining the essence of personality cults consisting in the doctrine of profitable empire-building in order to control mentally damaged certainty addicts. As old Schaeffer family friend and once leading evangelical Kenneth Kantzer, once put it, the name fundamentalist... Read more

There were two ANGRY MALES in our house, Dad and our Jewish/Christian “God.”

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 5:35 pm By Frank Schaeffer

Unlike Jesus, my father tried to follow the Bible. So there were two ANGRY MALES in our house, Dad (Francis Schaeffer) and our Jewish/Christian “God.” I grew up trying to do the best I could to hide The-God-Of-The-Bible’s and Dad’s true character from myself and from their followers and help my parents convert people to believing in this “God” by pretending that our “Deity” was nicer than he is. The sexual dysfunction and anti-feminism that unleashed the culture wars sprung from... Read more

For the price of a cup of coffee you can buy the funniest, darkest novel I ever wrote about God, Movies, Religious Delusion and SEX, on Kindle today

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 5:35 pm By Frank Schaeffer

And God Said, “Billy!” is a darkly comic coming-of-age story written by the master story teller Frank Schaeffer that author Andre Dubus III (House of Sand and Fog) hailed as the funniest American writer since Mark Twain. And God Said, “Billy!” is set in the 1980s and is about Billy, a young fundamentalist Christian who feels called to go to Hollywood to make “God’s movie.” But everything goes off the rails when he accepts a job to direct a soft-porn slasher/exploitation...

I was ready to punch you out for raising questions I couldn’t answer so how nutty all these years later the only reason I even hope there’s a God and am reconciled to my son– is because of you

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 5:35 pm By Frank Schaeffer

I vividly remember being lectured, harangued, insulted, corrected, and yelled at by a man who stood up in one of my lectures. This was 4 years ago. He held up his huge black Bible like a gun! Then just 3 days before Thanksgiving I got this letter from THIS SAME SCARY GUY who had left me quaking! Last night I called him and I asked if I could use his letter here and he said yes, but requested his name... Read more
