No dummy! Christmas isn’t pagan

So, I’ve spent the last few days debating with both Christians and pagans alike who insist that their cereal-box revisionist histories on Christian holidays are in fact true, and the well documented and verified history of these holidays are what is false. Arguing with these people is a lot like playing whack-a-mole. As soon as

Critical Deconstruction of Dispensationalism Part 2: The Curses

One of the key scriptures that Dispensationalists cling to for their die-hard support of Israel is God’s covenant with Abraham where He promises: “I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 Paul goes into

Critical Deconstruction of Dispensationalism Part 1: The Covenants.

I grew up as an Evangelical, so I fully understand everything they believe about the State of Israel and the Jews. Because I once believed them too. To the Dispensationalist, the Jews are eternally God’s chosen people, and they’re protected by the Old Covenant. Basically, so long as they keep the law, they get some

Critical Deconstruction of Dispensationalism. Introduction

Dispensationalism is the Evangelical and Baptist belief that God reveals his will progressively, in distinct “dispensations” and that each revelation was only meant for the group or people that it was given to. While I agree that God has operated in progressive revelation, I do not accept, nor do the vast majority of all Christians

Critical Deconstruction of CB Robertson’s Holy Nihilism, Chapter 3.

CB begins this chapter by describing how Christian values have been separated from their cores. He makes this statement: < “For him, hope is not an emotion and a reaction to likely or unlikely future outcomes, but a virtue to be cultivated — always and in all circumstances”> I hate to sound pedantic, but these

How to be a Man. Part 2 Worship and Church

A real man worships God and goes to church. Part of being a man, a real man, is recognition that it is not all about you. Life is not all about you. This world is not all about you. Men who do not worship God or go to church are men who never matured past

How to be a Man. Part 1 Family

I don’t pretend to be the ultimate male. I have a long and often painful history of mistakes that I’ve made, mostly by being naïve about the world, but along the way I gained a lot of wisdom from those mistakes and learned a lot about what it means to be a man, and I

Critical Deconstruction of CB Robertson’s Holy Nihilism, Chapter 2

Chapter 2 is titled The Nature of Christianity. CB makes a number of statements that are actually completely true, such as his definition of a Christian : <“I define Christianity in the following manner: Christianity is a religion derived from the Bible, and which aims at reunification with the God Yaweh through the development of

Critical Deconstruction of CB Robertson’s Holy Nihilism, Chapter 1.

Chapter 1 I’m going to start my deconstruction in Chapter 1 page 9-11, where CB discusses the Christian attitudes toward violence and arguing. <“Conflict can be harmful and is sometimes deeply tragic. Some of the greatest suffering in the world is the result of violence which arose in conflict, and this harm is made all

Introduction to my Critical Deconstruction of CB Robertson’s Holy Nihilism: The Moral and Spiritual Case Against Christianity.

Introduction I have come to know the author CB Robertson over the last few weeks through social media interaction. CB describes himself as a pagan and subjective moralist. He is a very intelligent and insightful young man who is active with his family, supports America First, and is into physical fitness. CB is very well
