Bryan Fischer “Proves” Being Gay Is A Choice

Posted on by

Bryan Fischer is at it again…this time with the proof that homosexuality is a choice.

Anytime a homosexual exercises any sort of selectivity at all, when it comes to intimate matters, he is proving that it’s a matter of choice.

I’m willing bet that Bryan was selective, in some way, in his quest to find a partner. I bet he dated and used some sort of criteria to determine who he wanted to date and ultimately marry. In essence, utilized the same selectivity that “proves” homosexuality is a choice. By his logic, being a heterosexual is also a choice…

Mark Driscoll’s Bad Eschatology

Posted on by

I know I’m a bit late to the whole Mark Driscoll said something stupid (again) party, but tough.

During his talk at the Catalyst Conference, Driscoll said this little gem:

I know who made the environment and he’s coming back and going to burn it all up. So yes, I drive an SUV.

And several people thought this was tweet worthy and took the statement to Twitter. Stephanie Drury picked up on it and started retweeting.

The problem with this is it’s not a part of the biblical narrative. In Genesis, God gives dominion of creation to humankind, but here’s the kicker, we are to rule as God would rule. And, there is no corresponding biblical text exempting us from dominion over creation.

Dominion does not mean that we can do whatever the hell we want with creation, because ultimately, it isn’t ours. We are to rule over creation as God would rule over creation. And God called the whole of creation very good.

What this basically boils down to is Dricsoll’s theology of “fear.”

Read what others have to say. I’m not going to rehash their arguments.

Glenn Beck’s Bad Theology

Glenn Beck attempts to wax theological on why God must destroy America.

The problem here is Beck is telling God what God must do. I’m sorry, but God doesn’t have to do what Beck thinks God must do. Any time someone tries to determine what God must do…they are usually wrong.

Bad Twitter Theology

I was surfing the net last night and happened across a HuffPo article about Brother Dean. The video on the article was pretty bad…although, I did manage to make it through most of the video before shutting it off. Brother Dean’s YouTube page was also a bust, but there was one tiny gem that I wanted to share:

You’re welcome!
