Greg Locke's church fell from 3,000 to 300. He pretends he's glad
Jehovah's Witnesses scrub blood transfusions from their research guide but keep the article ordering members to shun disfellowshipped family. That article still says love for Jehovah must be stronger than love for a disfellowshipped relative, even though the organization told Norway's courts it...

Did Doug Wilson really defend slavery? The ten worst claims in his book
Doug Wilson's Southern Slavery calls slavery mutually harmonious, and his Fight Laugh Feast conference just lost its Sapphire bookings. The episode counts down the ten worst claims in that 1996 book, from whipping compared to spanking to a chapter titled Unexpected Blessings that recasts the…

How prosperity preachers turn desperation into a donation
Paula White's $1,000 Passover offer promises seven supernatural blessings and a crystal cross while Benny Hinn's screeners turned away a disabled child. The tithe pitch asks for the first tenth of your gross income and credits 30 million pounds of food and a village in Israel to the donors, and…

Kent Hovind's PhD came from a 2,000 dollar mail-order Bible diploma mill
The universe's fine-tuning defeats atheism, Fox News argues, but the design analogy collapses the moment anyone asks who ever watched life get painted. Brandon Carter's anthropic principle, presented in Krakow in 1973 for Copernicus's 500th birthday, never pointed where the article claims, and…

Maine court strips a mother's church control over her daughter Ava
Maine's Supreme Judicial Court backed Matthew Brideen's veto over Calvary Chapel after hell sermons gave 12-year-old Ava panic attacks. Judge Jennifer Noffsinger's 18-page ruling documents what Emily Bickford hid from the girl's father: an anti-abortion protest disguised as a trip to the state...

Josh Howerton's megachurch put 400 AI cameras on its own staff
Josh Howerton's Lakepointe Church runs 400 AI facial-recognition cameras on its own staff while he preaches against mass surveillance. The Coram AI system Lakepointe bought advertises that it identifies persons of interest, tracks license plates and enforces compliance, and insiders count those...
-
Michele Bachmann says Gazans eat 3,000 calories a day. They do not
Lance Wallnau claims Trump is handing local churches $1.3 trillion in frozen USAID money so Christians can buy converts. The self-described prophet pitches the workaround openly: build a charity that requires church attendance, and federal dollars follow the gospel through the door. Hemant…

Christian Broadcasting Network made a war on Christmas sitcom
Janet Porter's war-on-Christmas sitcom builds a whole episode around an HOA fining her nativity scene, and none of it happens in real life. What a Girl Wants ran one season on the Christian Broadcasting Network, and its eighth episode stacks every persecution fantasy at once: a homeowners...
-
maga: trump is the son of god
Erica Anderson's Federalist piece brands Dolly Parton's inclusive faith as a False Gospel, a claim that ignores her decades of non-judgmental advocacy. Michael, a current Mormon, claims mormons arent responsible for the curse of Ham narrative by blaming Southern Protestantism rather than LDS...

Texas Republicans want to define Islam out of being a religion
Bannon promises prison for himself and everyone in the room if Republicans lose the midterms, and he means it. Steve Bannon's own audio does the work here: the call to codify Trump's executive orders past the Senate's structural barriers, the boast that Lindsey Graham and the self-described...
-
The two witness rule explained, and why it buried child abuse

Trump's Race Horse Theory Is Just Eugenics With a New Name
Donald Trump says he's a believer in 'Race Horse Theory' - the old 1950s euphemism for eugenics - and it's not a one-off. We pull the supercut of Trump talking about 'good genes,' German blood, and winning bloodlines going back decades, and trace race horse theory straight to the eugenics…

Heaven's Gate: 39 People Who Died Believing They Were Aliens
Heaven's Gate's 39 members died in 1997 believing a spacecraft trailed the Hale-Bopp comet—the endpoint of Marshall Applewhite's 25-year UFO theology that reframed Christianity as extraterrestrial instruction manual. We trace the cult's evolution from 1972 New Age recruitment through 17 years of...

Trump Supporter Suggests Banning Opposition Party, Quotes Hitler Playbook
Eric Metaxas claims German churches stayed silent during the Nazi regime—but 16,000 of 18,000 pastors actively supported Hitler, calling themselves 'Christian Nationalists.' I wrote the book on this (literally: Was Hitler an Atheist), and Metaxas's history is dangerously wrong. Worse: he's now...

Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Policy Killed 33,000 People

Jehovah's Witnesses Policy Changes: Legal Pressure, Not Revelation

MAGA TikTok Lies: Trump 2028, Deportation Celebrations, Vaccine Hoaxes
MAGA TikTokers claim Trump can run in 2028 by repealing the 22nd Amendment. I explain why this constitutional fantasy fails: Republicans won't win 2026 midterms given historical patterns and Trump's massive unpopularity, and amendments require two-thirds of Congress plus 38 states. We dissect…
