Ever since the fall of Roe v. Wade or the conservative fever dream of Project 2025, women’s reproductive rights have been under relentless attack. If the Orange Messiah and JD Vance’s political wet dreams come true, things are going to get much worse. So, brace yourself for the continued surge in rhetoric and further erosion of women’s rights. With reproductive choice, conservatives spin their own propaganda filled with scare tactics and half-truths. One of their most egregious talking points is... Read more

Welcome to evangelism in the digital age! Gone are those days of awkwardly handing out tracts and cornering unsolicited strangers to talk about their eternal destinies. No, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the time has truly come to do the will of God and embrace the future of our faith. Let me be blunt, we need to forget trying to “save” humans. It’s truly become a waste of time. They’ve had plenty of chances to hear the gospel... Read more

Snarky’s Wager: Would Christians Follow Jesus Without Hell?

Last updated on: August 16, 2024 at 6:13 pm By Stuart Delony

Pascal’s Wager is the classic gamble on the existence of God and the afterlife. The basic idea is this – believe in God just in case there is a heaven or a hell. The payoff? Eternal bliss and the avoidance of eternal torment. But let’s toss a wrench into this divine game of craps and ask anew a question for American Christianity: If you removed the gamble of the afterlife, would Christians still follow the teachings of Jesus? Welcome to... Read more

Kinkservatism: The Politics of Repression and Control

Last updated on: July 30, 2024 at 2:49 pm By Stuart Delony

If you strip away the patriotic cosplay and ‘family values’ rhetoric, Christian conservatism reveals itself as a bizarre kink driven by repression and the infliction of pain on others, born from a deep well of self-hatred and shame. The political theater we witness today isn’t just about policy; it’s a masochistic display of power, control, and punishment. The 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee highlighted this in an unexpected way when the influx of attendees caused the gay dating app... Read more

Greg Locke: Demon Slayer

If you’re a listener of Snarky Faith, you’d know Pastor Greg Locke from our “Christian Crazy” segment on the show. His preaching style is best summarized as Yosemite Sam on an auctioneer’s stage fueled by book burnings, conspiracies, and end-times paranoia. He also sees himself as a modern-day prophet and exorcist. Simply put, he thinks he’s a prophetic demon slayer, but he’s more prosperity grifter and less Tanjiro Kamado. So whether or not you’re familiar with the firebrand charlatan, let’s... Read more

Let’s cut to the chase—Liz Cooledge Jenkins’s Nice Churchy Patriarchy: Reclaiming Women’s Humanity from Evangelicalism is a wrecking ball swinging at the fragility of the Evangelical patriarchy. It’s a book I wish my wife and I had 20 years ago in ministry. It’s easy to rage against the patriarchy, but this book is wrapped in scholarly research and personal experiences. This isn’t just a read; it’s a call to arms for anyone tangled up at the messy crossroads of faith... Read more

Happy Independence Day! It’s that time when we celebrate our freedoms while cooking meat, blowing things up, and conveniently ignoring the erosion of the very liberties we’re celebrating. So between the hotdogs and fireworks, let’s explore if we’re as free as our forefathers intended… or living in blissful ignorance. A Brief History Lesson Remember back in history class?
