Sorry, guys. We have a longer one to deal with today. At first, I only wanted to go through verses 110-112, but when I saw that 122 starts talking about Abraham and the Kabbah, and Ramadan starts on the 17th, I figured I'd make you guys suck it up and deal with 11 verses of... Continue Reading →
I recently got a comment from someone on my post answering the question of "Is God Abusive?" that was asking about the Bible's treatment of familial abuse, both in the book and in the real world. I don't know if this person is a deconstructor or not, but it's a fair question. I honestly hadn't... Continue Reading →
Last week, when I was talking about Islam's view of predestination, I mentioned that there's actually a huge debate in the Christian world about if God predestines people to go to Hell or Heaven or if He just knows who is going to go where. And this isn't the first time this has come up.... Continue Reading →
Happy Al-Zutt Remembrance Day! Unfortunately, while I was writing this post, I completely forgot that this installation of Flippin' Fatwa Friday would fall on this hilarious new holiday, which means that sadly (or thankfully, depending on how you look at it), we will not be talking about Muhammad's midnight rendezvous with the thirty men of...

Picking up our roast of Surah 2, we need to talk about 2:83-86. When I got to this point in Al-Baqarah, I was somewhat shocked at just how blatantly anti-Jew it was. It provides a justification for why Muslims should hate the Jews that isn't valid at all when you have a Biblical worldview. However,... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
