WORDSLINGER'S NOTE: Greetings all. It's been about 6 months since my last Churchianity post -- my how time does fly -- but after receiving a rather potent letter from a reader, I think it's high time to start up again. If you're new here, you may wish to read Part 1 (or even Parts 1 - 6) before continuing.I have written at length about the current (and continuing) unhealthy state of the modern-day Christian church. I am a Christian, but one who is both sickened and disheartened by the fact t...

WORDSLINGER'S NOTE: Here we go again with another Churchianity post -- I've been trying to be a little more faithful in my upkeep of this topic. Depending on your background, some of these may sound a little more rant-like than carefully thought out, but I am making a sincere effort to focus more on the faulty dogma than those whom I believe are deceived by it. Again, you may wish to read Parts I - V before continuing.Self-medication. Two words that can instantly bring to mind a vastly differ...

WORDSLINGER'S NOTE: Given my circumstances, I'm probably too stressed to be writing a Churchianity post right now and may end up sounding angry and bitter ... 'course, when have I let that stop me? Just because one is bitter doesn't mean one's points aren't valid. I know full well how some of these posts sound -- perhaps after I've gotten enough out of my system, I will do a Churchianity post on BITTERNESS. How does one walk this line? When Jesus was exposing the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, h...

WORDSLINGER'S NOTE: It's been months since I last put up a Churchianity post (May 2008), but something tells me it's time to start up again. These controversial articles have generated (mostly) positive responses and I stand by everything I have written -- although I'll be the first to admit some of my posits and theories need ... tweaking. Before continuing with this article, you may want to read Parts 1 - 3.Given that the divorce rate in this country is about fifty percent, with no discernib...

WORDSLINGER'S NOTE - This is Part 3 in an ongoing series attempting to shed light on the heresy-proclaimed-as-gospel ingrained in the modern-day Christian church. I am a Christian, albeit one who is profoundly disturbed by such theologically twisted, pulpit propaganda. If you are new here, please read CHURCHIANITY PART I and PART II before continuing.Remember George Carlin's infamous seven words you can't say on television? I won't repeat them here ... not because I'm prudish (I'm not), or wo...

WORDSLINGER'S NOTE - I've put off following up Part I of this series too long. This is a sensitive and controversial subject matter, so ... if you're new to this site, or subject, please read CHURCHIANITY PART I - a rant before continuing on with this article. Though my intent is to speak the truth in love, my bitterness at the unhealthy state of the Christian church, and the heretical bullshit many have proclaimed as gospel for ages, makes this a precarious line to walk. May God bless my effort...

George Carlin is hilarious. I've always thought so. I may be one of the few Christians in the world to hold him in this regard, but we'll get to that. From his hippy-dippy weatherman in the 60s, his infamous Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television in the 70s, A Place For My Stuff in the 80s and beyond, he deserves a ranking between Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor as one of the most influential comedians of all time. Back in 1975, he was also the first host on the premiere episode of Saturd...

WORDSLINGER'S NOTE - 90% of the entries on this blog are going to involve movies, books, and pop culture. However, there is a subject matter about which I feel so passionately, like a burning ember in my being, I can no longer remain silent about it. It is also a hot button of controversy, so I will do my best to speak the truth in love. Here goes ...I am a Christian -- let me be clear about that up front. A Bible believer, not thumper. I am also a Preacher's Kid. To quote Dusty Springfiel...
