Blog: The Modern Church is Crap, but Here’s Why You Should Still Try. My Experiences with the Church.

In some of my previous blog posts about The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and my review of Shiny, Happy People, you might be thinking, “Wow, the church sucks. Why would anyone ever go there?” and you would be right in thinking that. For hundreds of years, the church has been corrupt on all different…Continue Reading →

Blog: All Books of the Bible Summarized (Old Testement)

(Disclaimer: This is satire and not to be taken seriously. I am not – by any means – a Bible expert. This is just based off of my understanding of it. Please do not use this as something to build your theology off of.) #1: Genesis Really guys? Can you not sin for…like…five seconds? This…Continue Reading →

Blog: If Bible Characters Could Text

When one of my friends left for college out of state earlier in the year, I made it my mission to report to her what the sermons at youth group and Sunday church service were about as often as possible. Usually it consists of what the sermon was about before transitioning into me spilling the…Continue Reading →

Blog: New Testament Summarized

A few months ago, I posted a blog where I summarized the Old Testament and though you guys seemed to like that post, I never did a follow up. Realizing this, here’s the sequel to that post. (Disclaimer: This is satire. This is in no way, shape, or form supposed to be used to replace…Continue Reading →

Blog: If Bible Characters Went to the Zoo

I don’t know what made me want to do this blog post. Maybe it’s the fact that I am the type of person to scroll endlessly through memes, or maybe it’s because my brain just works in a really weird way, but here’s what I think would happen if certain Bible characters visited a zoo….Continue Reading →

Blog: How to Tell When It’s Time to Leave a Church

If you guys have read my blog post on why you should still try to go to church even though most of them suck, you will know that I have left several churches: The Church of the Holy Dollar, The Church of the (W)Holy Incompetent Pastors, and the Church of the Holy Dinosaur, and am…Continue Reading →

Blog: Debunking Easter

One idea that seems to be really popular amongst angry, blue-haired, crystal-obsessed cat moms on the internet is the idea that Easter is actually a pagan holiday and was taken over by the Christians to push Christianity onto the people. Their basis for this is the fact that we have culturally adopted things like egg…Continue Reading →

Blog: Don’t Base Your View of Christianity on Crappy People

A few months ago, I had an interesting talk with a friend from my church. The conversation started off talking about life and teenager-stuff like What do you want to do with your life?, What are your plans for summer?, etc. before we started talking about the church in general and how many Christians have…Continue Reading →

Blog: Bryce Crawford Needs the Real Jesus. Part 1: Todd White and the Problem with Hyper-Charismatics.

A little while ago, I was going through my YouTube “For You” page and ran across a video by a dude named Bryce Crawford, a 20-year-old Gen Z street preacher with an audience of 177K subscribers on YouTube and 693K on TikTok. In this video, he was sharing the Gospel to people at a L.A….Continue Reading →

Blog: Bryce Crawford Needs the Real Jesus. Part 2: Personal Testimony and Faith Healing.

Last week, I wrote a post talking about GenZ street evangelist Bryce Craford’s connection to pastor Todd White and why that is concerning. If you haven’t read that post yet, I highly suggest that you do since it will help you understand this part of the story which deals with Bryce’s personal testimony that deals…Continue Reading →

Blog: Bryce Crawford Needs the Real Jesus. Part 3: The Grift.

If you guys have read parts 1 and 2 of this series, you know that I’ve talked about how Bryce Crawford has been discipled by Todd White, a heretical, false teacher who has taught him how to use Christianity and other people’s pain for monetary gain and popularity and that Crawford has followed this teaching…Continue Reading →

Blog: I Argued with an Atheist…

Last Wednesday, I responded to a blog post by a guy called Ex-Narnian where he was talking about how, for the second time, he is having a crisis of faith, doesn’t know what God’s plan is for his life, and no longer knows if God exists. Intrigued since many of the complaints he had were…Continue Reading →

Blog: What Convinced Me to Become a Christian

If you’ve been following the Tanuki Corner since the beginning, you’ll know that I argue from a Christian worldview and have often done blog posts about the Bible and have discussed some of my experiences with the church, which haven’t always been great. However, in recent months, I have come to the decision to fully…Continue Reading →

Blog: Debunking Deconstruction – Is the Bible Actually Reliable? Part 1: Historicity.

It’s very unlikely you will do any “series” since you’ve failed so far. – Club Schadenfreude on my post I Argued with an Atheist… It’s here everyone. The series that Vel from Club Schadenfreude doubted I would do that I’ve been teasing for two weeks now is finally here. Originally, this series was just going…Continue Reading →

Blog: Debunking Deconstruction – Is the Bible Actually Reliable? Part 2: The Science.

One of the things that is constantly used as damning evidence against Christianity is science. Things like the theory of evolution, the Big Bang theory, radiocarbon dating, etc. are all seen as evidence that God doesn’t exist by atheists, secularists, nihilists, and others. However, the problem with many of these things is that they 1)….Continue Reading →

Blog: Debunking Deconstruction – Is the Bible Actually Reliable? Part 3: Prophecies

In many religions around the world, prophecies are just part of the gig. In fact, the three biggest religions in the world (Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism) even have messianic prophecies though they revolve around different people, with the Christians believing in Jesus Christ as the Messiah (duh, you already knew that), the Muslims believing in…Continue Reading →

Blog: Debunking Deconstruction – Is the Bible Actually Reliable? Part 4: Grammar and When It/How Was Written.

If you’re like me, you too probably look at the word “grammar” and cringe so hard you see the back of your skull. None of us like grammar. However, grammar is very, very important to understanding how the Bible is reliable and how you should be reading it (a lot of division within the church…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Is the Bible Actually Reliable? Part 5: Divine Inspiration.

After giving you guys a few weeks on hiatus, it’s time that we return to my Debunking Deconstruction series, closing out this chapter of this series with the last proof that the Bible is reliable, which is divine inspiration, the proof that I’ve been building up to for the past several posts on this topic,…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – What is Deconstruction?

Now that we’ve established why the Bible is reliable, it’s time to start debunking the reasons for deconstruction, which means we have to define it first. I had originally thought about doing this post before talking about the Bible’s reliability but felt that this fit the stream of thought better. So, what is deconstruction and…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Trump is not Jesus

Happy Inauguration Day! After a long wait, January 20th is finally here, which means America can start making its comeback after four years of Biden falling asleep, losing his train of thought, and letting America go to hell. However, for Christians concerned about the massive wave of deconstruction that’s hit the church, today also marks…Continue Reading →

Blog/Apologetics: I Ran into the Mother God Cult at the Mall.

I’m really hoping that I don’t get sued for writing this. The Mother God cult is not something that you want to mess with. Even the apologist Mike Winger had to take down his YouTube video on this cult because they were threatening legal action against him if he didn’t. But with that worry out…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Is God Abusive?

A while ago, I ran across a meme where it was outlining the traits of an abusive relationship and trying to apply them to God. This meme was so incredibly stupid that I scrolled past it (and unfortunately can’t find it again for the sake of this post), but it did bring up an interesting…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Does God Condone Slavery?

Since writing my post last Friday debunking the idea that God is abusive in the sense that He’s often painted by deconstructors as a toxic boyfriend, my comments section has been being flooded by a commentor who has been pressuring me to answer whether or not I think that God (supposedly) condoning slavery and genocide…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Is God a Genocidal Maniac?

After answering the question of “Does God condone slavery?” it’s only fitting that we also address the question stated in the title. This question is a hard one and is one that many people struggle with because God did indeed order the Israelites to get rid of the Canaanites and Amalekites. So how can Christians…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Is God (and the Bible) Misogynistic?

After last Friday’s break from this series, we’re back with another claim, though I hadn’t seriously heard of this accusation until a few months ago. Did I know that some people claimed that the Bible is evil because of that gosh darn patriarchy? Yes. Did I take it seriously? No. I thought it was just…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Does God Condone Rape?

Continuing our series addressing questions brought up by deconstructors, one of the accusations that I’ve recently run across is that the Bible condones rape, specifically that Numbers 31 condones it, which I will address in this post. Of course, this is yet another dumb claim that, when looked at in context, can easily be debunked,…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Does God Support Abortion?

Spoiler Alert: No. God does not support abortion. I had never heard this claim before until I got into my argument with an atheist. Not only did it sound like a stupid claim from the offset (which it was), but it was also one that’s a total misreading of Numbers 5:11-31, which is where critics…Continue Reading →

Blog: Islam Condones Pedophilia and Treats Women Horribly

Welp…I’m posting this towards the end of Ramadan, the most important Muslim holiday. If I don’t get at least one disgruntled person in the comments calling me Islamophobic or racist, I’ll be genuinely surprised. Today, I’ll be replying to a comment made by our favorite Pro-Hamas protester, D.J., who said this under my post about…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: All Have Sinned.

It’s April, guys, and guess which holidays are coming up in the next few weeks. That’s right. Passover, Good Friday, and Easter are all this month, which means that I have a buttload of topics to write about concerning these three holidays. My apologies if the way that I cover them seems a little chaotic…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Mediators Before Christ.

Throughout the Bible, one of the things we see quite often is the theme of the need of a mediator between man and God. The most obvious example of this, of course, is Christ himself, but there was foreshadowing of the need for a perfect mediator (Christ) in the Old Testament as well. So, let’s…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Evidence for Christ.

Continuing with our discussion around Easter and the evidence for it, we need to talk about the evidence for Christ. This is one of the most controversial points to argue with non-believers because they often want tangible, archaeological evidence to be sure of Christ’s existence, even if they won’t believe that He was the Son…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Evidence for the Exodus.

In one of my early debates with Ark, one of the claims that he made was that there was no evidence for the Exodus and that all archeological evidence points to it never happening. However, is that true? Or is there actually archaeological evidence to support it that we just don’t hear a lot about?…Continue Reading →

Blog/Apologetics: Here’s How Not to Evangelize.

Whelp, it’s been some time since I last talked about Bryce Crawford and with all the accusations coming out about Todd White and how he’s actually a pathological liar and hypocrite (whoever could’ve guessed) and the fact that Bryce was recently on an interview with disgraced Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz, I figured that we should…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Q/A About the Crucifixion.

Happy Good Friday, y’all. Because today is the day that we celebrate Jesus’ death on the cross to take the punishment of God’s wrath from us, I figured that there’s no better time to do a question/answer post about what happened that leading up to the cross, during the crucifixion, and on the morning of…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: What Saves?

If you’ve read my testimony, you’ll know that growing up, I was very confused when it came to spirituality. Jesus was kind-of just a name to me, where to be saved, all I had to do was say, “Jesus, I welcome you into my heart,” or something along those lines and I was automatically saved…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Why Discipleship is Important.

One of the questions that I’ve been asked to answer about Christianity is the question of: “Why is discipleship important? Why do we need that, especially if man is flawed and fallible?” Though this is a minor question when it comes to understanding Christianity, it is a good question. Why is it important? Can Christians…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Why Baptism is Important.

A little bit ago when I was announcing that I was getting baptized, I said that I would do a blog post about why it’s important. So, here’s the somewhat short answer as to why, if you’re a Christian, you should get baptized. The most important thing to know about baptism is that it’s not…Continue Reading →

Blog: Bryce Crawford Needs the Real Jesus – Part 4: Carl Lentz.

If you guys have read Part 1 of this series, you know that I originally intended this to be a three-part series, saying: “This will be a three-part series because there is simply too much to cover in one post, though I suspect it may become longer if the plot continues to thicken like oatmeal.”…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Should Christians Study Other Religions?

One of the problems that the modern church has had for a very long time is that it’s incredibly ignorant of what else is out there. That doesn’t mean that they don’t know about other religions existing, but rather that they don’t know what these religions teach. Some of this is accidental, with people just…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – I Just Finished the Introduction to the Quran…What is This? (Part 1)

Time to anger people again! In my conversation with a Muslim girl who goes by A Person (who was one of the most respectful people I have had the chance to debate with, so kudos to her), she raised the point that I needed to read the Quran if I hadn’t already. This was a…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Happy (Belated) Mother’s Day! Please Stop Venerating Mary.

As most of us know, yesterday was Mother’s Day. For the small number of us who didn’t know that, there’s your reminder. You might want to start making up for your bad memory as quickly as possible. But PSA announcement aside, because yesterday was Mother’s Day, I thought it fitting that we take a moment…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – I Just Finished the Introduction to the Quran…What is This? (Part 2)

Continuing with my mission to annoy and anger all the right people into thinking critically, I must continue to criticize the introduction to the Quran, now mostly focusing on the political aspects of the arguments brought up in the introduction and more of the straight up lies that the writer tells in his effort to…Continue Reading →

Blog: Bryce Crawford Needs the Real Jesus – Part 5: Maddy Dodd

Well, we’re back with this series again. I thought it might’ve ended with my post about Carl Lentz being on Bryce’s podcast, and I thought of perhaps doing a post about the allegations against Todd White as a spinoff post, but the plot has thickened once more. Recently, under Part 3 of this series, an…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Is God a Vindictive Bully?

Ah, yes. Another series that I (sort-of) haven’t touched on in a while that I’m now returning to. Wonderful. Like the other questions in the Debunking Deconstruction series, this is a common problem that deconstructors have with God. After all, God seems to allow a lot, suddenly condemn it as sin, and then punish people…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Quran vs. The Bible: Surah Al-Fatihah

After a week-long break, we’re back to Flippin’ Fatwa Fridy, but this time, we’re no longer in the Introduction, but are finally in the religious text itself. Part of this is because I couldn’t remember everything else wrong with the Introduction and didn’t care to find everything else that was wrong with it, and part…Continue Reading →

Blog/Apologetics: How the Church Should Respond to LGBTQ+.

Oh, joy. It’s June. You know what that means. It means that for an entire month we get to bombarded with videos of people proudly and publicly putting their sexual fetishes on display for everyone (including children) to see while also burning our eyes with the ugliest combinations of colors I’ve ever seen on random…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: What the Heck was Jordan Peterson vs. 20 Atheists?

Last week, a video from Jubilee went viral, originally titled, “1 Christian vs. 20 Atheists.” This could’ve been an interesting debate had it been done right and an actual Christian such as Frank Turek or Wesley Huff been the one to debate these 20 atheists, but instead, Jubilee opted for one of the worst people…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Why Didn’t God Just Blip the Bible into Existence? (Plus a Bonus Question)

One of the arguments I’ve heard against Christianity recently is the question of “Why didn’t God just write the Bible himself?” or, as I put it, blip it into existence. I think it’s an interesting point about Christianity and worth a blog post exploring it. Was it wise for God to give His word to…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa… Wednesday? AI Quran.

I know today isn’t Friday, but I had to post this because this may be one of the most amazing things I have found AI to be capable of doing, and that is…imitation. After I saw a video of a dude called Apostate Prophet and friends using ChatGPT to generate a custom surah in the…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Quran vs. The Bible: Surah Al-Baqarah Verses 1-7.

Surah Al-Baqarah was easily one of the worst, most tedious reads ever and is a prime example of how (supposedly) no man can produce anything like even a single surah of the Quran. It’s because any self-respecting writer would see what they wrote, burn it, then turn themselves in to a mental hospital or hurl…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Happy Father’s Day, Abraham!

Father’s Day weekend is upon us, which, just like my Mother’s Day post, is your reminder to go call your dad. PSA aside, it’s also a good time to talk about possibly on of the most controversial fathers in the entire Bible who is constantly brought up by atheists to show how God is supposedly…Continue Reading →

Blog/Apologetics: I Went to a New Age Expo (Stranger in a Strange Land)

For some reason, writing this introduction reminds me of the end of a My Little Pony episode, in which Twilight Sparkle writes to Princess Celestia about what she learned about the power of friendship that episode. This is probably due to the fact that this was my first time ever going to one of these…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Why Doesn’t Jesus Still Walk with Us Today?

One question that I’ve heard raised about the validity of God and salvation is, “If God was so serious about salvation, why doesn’t He still walk amongst us today?” It’s a fair enough question. After all, Immanuel means “God with us.” So why doesn’t He? Is there a good reason why He’s not walking around,…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – Why Don’t Miracles Happen All the Time?

Back to this series where I really need a better way of introducing arguments against Christianity posed by deconstructors. You read the title, so you know what we’re talking about today and if you’re familiar with my stance on some sects of Christianity such as the hyper-charismatics or NAR (New Apostolic Reformation), y’all know that…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Quran vs. the Bible: Surah Al-Baqarah Verses 8-20.

Continuing with our read-through of the Quran, we’re back in Surah Al-Baqarah today, examining verses 8-20. These are the verses that really set up a whole series of random threats that will be repeated throughout the Quran. Honestly, so far in my reading of this book, if you took out all the random threats of…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Replacement/Fulfillment Theology is Stupid.

One of the things that I and my family have observed in recent months is the rise in churches and Christians accepting and teaching replacement theology (a.k.a supersessionism) or its close cousin, fulfillment theology. Unfortunately for us, this problem didn’t arise because of something we saw on the impersonal world of the internet, but in…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Debunking Deconstruction – When Christians Don’t Act Like Christians.

It seems that this year so far has been a bad one for the church, as we’ve had not one, but three major scandals come to light. First were the allegations that came out against Todd White back in April that basically confirmed what we already know that he’s a pathological liar. Then came the…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Quran vs. The Bible: Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 23-24.

Well, it’s been a while since I dissected the Quran, so after taking a bit of a mental health break since this book is so infuriating, it’s time to get back to it. On the bright side, today’s dissection is only of two verses of the dumbest logic to justify a religion’s validity that I’ve…Continue Reading →

Apologetics/Mythology: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Quran vs. The Bible: Surah Al-Baqarah Verses 30-39 and Surah Al-A’raf Verses 11-25

You may have noticed that I included the category “Mythology” to this one and be wondering why. Well, I added it because we’re talking about the Quranic creation account. Though it’s fairly similar to the Biblical creation story, it’s different in some very important ways that shine a light on some key differences between what…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: What is the NAR?

I’ve talked a bit about the NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) on this blog in posts about Bryce Crawford and the new season of Shiny, Happy People. However, it’s about time that I dedicate an entire post to this topic as its influence on the church and even in politics has been growing in recent years,…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Flippin’ Fatwa Friday – The Quran vs. The Bible: Surah Al-Baqarah Verses 40-46, 53.

Now that we’ve covered what’s possibly the worst retelling of the Creation account that I’ve ever read and had a week-long break to process whatever that was, it’s time to jump back into the Quran to compare it to the Bible. This time, however, we’re once again dealing with the Islamic Dilemma, the million-dollar question…Continue Reading →

Apologetics: Please Stop Calling Everything Demonic.

One of the things that really annoys me about the church is that a lot of people – especially the ladies – have a bad habit of calling everything they don’t like or disagree with “demonic.” If you’re in the church, I’m sure you’ve run across this problem at least once or twice. Harry Potter?…Continue Reading →
