Christianity Needs a Quiet Riot Now

Last updated on: February 20, 2025 at 10:04 am By Stuart Delony

You ever notice how the loudest people in Christianity are the ones with the least interesting things to say? They’re out there screaming about Jesus, waving their theological pom-poms, and selling their latest sermon series as if faith is just another multi-level marketing scam. But here’s the kicker—they’re all about certainty. No room for doubt. No space for mystery. Just polished, prepackaged answers for everything. Which is why the church needs a little Quiet Riot. Yes, the 80s rock anthem... Read more

❤️ Valentine’s Day: From Sacred to Secular

Last updated on: February 13, 2025 at 4:40 pm By Stuart Delony

Valentine’s Day: A time for love, romance, and an overpriced racket of chocolates and wilted grocery-store roses. What was once a religious feast day to honor St. Valentine has been entirely secularized—hollowed out, repackaged, and resold to us by capitalism. It’s much like modern Evangelicalism, which has turned faith into a brand, a political identity, and a business model. But before you roll your eyes at this Hallmarkification of yet another sacred day, let’s talk about a different kind of... Read more

How MAGA Exposed American Christianity’s Stockholm Syndrome

Last updated on: February 4, 2025 at 5:05 pm By Stuart Delony

Sometimes, I wonder if Jesus would even recognize large swaths of American Christianity today. That itinerant rabbi who preached about loving your enemies, feeding the poor, and who ended up on the cross because he confronted religious and political powers – remember him? If he time-traveled to 2025’s heartland, he’d be baffled by churches that have become partisan pep rallies. It’s an entire phenomenon that looks eerily like Stockholm syndrome, where the faithful have grown dependent on a political movement... Read more

Kessler Syndrome and Christianity’s Theological Junkyard

Last updated on: January 14, 2025 at 7:25 pm By Stuart Delony

Somewhere in the vast emptiness of space, an ever-growing cloud of debris hurtles around our planet. Broken satellites, leftover rocket parts, and other discarded remnants of human ambition orbit Earth, a floating junkyard that threatens the future of space exploration. It’s called the Kessler Syndrome, a cascading collision of space junk creating even more space junk. And in case you’re wondering—yes, this is a metaphor for the mess that is American Christianity. The theological orbit around Jesus’ teachings has become... Read more

MLK’s Wisdom in the Age of Trump: A Call to Resist

Did you ever notice how Martin Luther King Jr.’s story gets boiled down to the ‘I Have a Dream’ speech? Like that’s the only thing he ever said. The feel-good parts make it easy to ignore the uncomfortable truth: King wasn’t here for our comfort. He was here to confront power and oppression. Yet here we are again. It’s another MLK Day with our country facing many of the same issues King fought against, especially in the wake of another... Read more

Three-Body Problem: Faith, Reality, and Modern Christianity

Last updated on: January 14, 2025 at 5:24 pm By Stuart Delony

In science, the Three-Body Problem refers to the chaotic and unpredictable motion of three celestial bodies interacting with one another. The kicker? There’s no real solution. The gravitational forces between them are so complex that, no matter how much math you throw at it – their future movements can’t be predicted with certainty. It’s an intriguing concept, but why stop at physics? Modern Christianity has perfected its own version of the Three-Body Problem. It’s an endless, futile tug-of-war between faith,... Read more

Let’s Ruin Christmas

Last updated on: December 23, 2024 at 5:24 pm By Stuart Delony

Christmas is that season of joy, peace, and completely fabricated nativity scenes. So, while you’re decking the halls and singing ‘Silent Night,’ let’s ruin the holiday magic by diving into the Christmas story’s biblical plot holes and historical head-scratchers—the tale that inspired countless plastic versions of the ‘eight pound, six ounce, newborn infant Jesus, who doesn’t even know a word yet—cuddly but still omnipotent.’ The Great Bethlehem Baby Massacre The Gospel of Matthew tells us that King Herod, upon hearing...

When Love Gives Up the Ghost

Last updated on: December 18, 2024 at 11:00 am By Stuart Delony

“Give up the ghost” is one of those phrases that has stuck around long after its meaning faded. Rooted in the King James Bible, it once described something solemn: the very breath of life departing from the body. But over time, it’s become more about dead toasters and abandoned towns. We say it with a smirk now, reserving it for things that have lost their purpose—things that stopped working long before anyone noticed. Maybe the same could be said for... Read more

Faith That Moves Mountains… Or Just Builds Molehills?

Last updated on: December 4, 2024 at 5:58 pm By Stuart Delony

When Jesus said faith could move mountains, I doubt he meant rearranging molehills and calling it holy work. You know, something along the lines of feeding the hungry, helping the poor, or generally being decent humans. But somewhere along the way, that bold notion of mountain-moving faith got hijacked by the urge to make mountains out of molehills—and here we are, surrounded by molehills dressed up as divine duties. Let’s get real: today’s Christianity has a molehill problem. We’ve traded... Read more

Rethinking Masculine Strength Beyond Alpha Bro-vado

Last updated on: December 3, 2024 at 9:41 am By Stuart Delony

Former Catholic priest James Kavanaugh’s poem, “There Are Men Too Gentle to Live Among Wolves,” offers a look into a kind of masculinity that gets overshadowed in today’s MAGA-driven bro culture. The gentle men in his poem are the ones who “wonder if the leaves will change their color soon.” This vision sharply contrasts with the loud, chest-thumping version of “strength” we’re so often shown. These guys aren’t outdated or old-fashioned. They’re symbols of a different kind of strength –... Read more
