Have you ever wondered why your churched friends can’t understand your life outside of church? Join the crowd. What many can’t seem to wrap their mind around is the fact that the churched are at enmity with their spiritual life. The churched and the “un-churched” followers of Jesus are not the same in any respect.

Milk-Bone Underwear

The saints who have left the church make nice targets for religious dogs. I call the church and everything that goes with it Big Mamma—the whore. Big Mamma hates anyone that challenges her legitimacy. She goes through great lengths to destroy her detractors and has no mercy on any who leave her to have a more meaningful walk with God. In this episode I relate some of what I’ve learned about leaving Big Momma.

Misplaced Zeal

Shean Smith — Wed, 12 May 2010 10:00:21 +0000

Religious zeal usually doesn’t end well. Good intentions might be pure to start off with, but misplaced zeal ends up taking good intentions and turns them into a doctrinal statement that’s forced on people.

“It Is Finished!”

Shean Smith — Wed, 05 May 2010 10:00:56 +0000

Jesus said, “It is finished!” on the cross yet church work continues; what’s up with that? There’s no end to doing church and feeling ashamed when we fail in our church duties. Did Jesus die to give us church work to do or to free us from it?

Tattooed Temples: Putting Graffiti On God’s Temple

Shean Smith — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 10:00:19 +0000

I’m sure you’ve seen it; Christian putting tattoos and piercings all over their bodies. The ones who do it say they’re free to do to tattoo if they want. The same ignore the fact that God’s temple is the body of the born-again and not a building.

Is The New Testament The Church Manual?

Shean Smith — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 10:00:47 +0000

The New Testament became the proving grounds for ecclesiology in the Second Century. Today, as it was in the Second Century, the New Testament is the church manual that’s used to whip people into churchiaddicts that’re dependent on the clergy.

Martyr

Shean Smith — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 11:00:38 +0000

People have gotten the idea that martyrs are dead; they’ve been killed for their religious steadfastness. Martyrs receive veneration from the church because of their death. However, the truth behind the word “martyr” refers to the living and their testimony of walking with Jesus.

The Due Penalty For Perversion

Shean Smith — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 11:00:27 +0000

You can here it in the news and in the streets today: “Homosexuals are born, not made.” The religious right try to argue that we are created beings and not a freak of nature. Who’s right? What’s with the homosexual gene?

True Strong Women

Shean Smith — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 11:00:38 +0000

True strong women are homemakers. Career women aren’t woman enough to run a family so they send their children off to strangers to raise; they try becoming a man by trying to grow a man’s genitalia.

Censored Truth

Does the government have a right to censor churches and keep them from endorsing politicians and policies? As you answer that question consider this question: Who grants tax-free status to churches–God or the federal government?
