Lance Wallnau has earned a spot in the Christian Crazy Hall of Fame on Snarky Faith. If you’re not familiar with him, don’t worry—you will be soon. You’ve got to hand it to Wallnau. Not everyone can get 700 people to believe that the path to eternal life involves campaigning for Donald Trump and JD Vance. But here we are, America, where reality has taken a detour, and apparently, immortality is just a voter registration drive away. You might think... Read more
Doomscrolling: that endless, soul-sucking spiral of bad news and outrage that keeps you glued to your screen like a moth to a particularly depressing flame. It’s a modern pastime that we can all admit to indulging in when we’re not at our best. But let’s not kid ourselves—Christians have their own special version of it, and they’ve wrapped it up in a sanctimonious bow. Let’s call it Biblical Doomscrolling. Instead of scrolling through headlines of disasters and political fiascos, they’re... Read more
Donald Trump’s back in the spotlight, claiming migrants are eating people’s pets. It’s just the latest edition of America’s Grandpa—the one who never stops talking on the phone. Lies, outrageous claims, fear-mongering—you know, the usual Orange Messiah cocktail. Yet, instead of calling out his nonsense, the the religious right goes all-in on a little trick called sanewashing. Just like greenwashing puts a glossy coat on eco-destruction or sportswashing hides human rights abuses behind the glitz of sporting events, sanewashing packages... Read more
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
Ever find yourself scrolling through Twitter (let’s be honest no one calls it X) and enraged by the latest heretic-of-the-week? Does the thought of “blessing those who curse you” make you grind your teeth? Well, good news, folks—there’s a biblical way to let out that righteous anger. Forget what you’ve been told about turning the other cheek. It’s time to dig into the ancient art of cursing, straight from the pages of the Good Book. The Old Testament: Where Cursing... 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
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
Tried discussing politics lately? It’s like stepping into a minefield covered with banana peels. We’ve all encountered them – the politically possessed. They’re armed with conspiracy theories, drenched in partisan rhetoric, and ready to strike at any hint of dissent. So what do you do? Welcome to the age where every conversation is a high-stakes game of sanity and survival. Here’s a list of ways to keep it together in the face of mouth-breathers. The Art of Patience Snarky Tip:...

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

Kinkservatism: The Politics of Repression and Control
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
