... be afraid, be very afraid
This page will document all of the articles and other relevant pieces, including blog entries,that I have made. Also I have started a podcast, quite appropriately called The Preterist Podcast, click here for the homepage of the podcast site.
Atheist John Loftus has argued that if God were really good, He would have given us various appendages to keep us from dying in nasty ways. We agree, thus, see Dee Dee's Glorified Loftusian body. Also, for those zany revisionists who claim Xena never existed and vote for what Xena really said from a hypothetical "X" source and voting with little purple beads, the UnDiscovery Channel has unveiled irrefutable contemporary evidence for Xena.

Notable Blog Entries by Subject (kinda)
Responses to my Appearance on Unchained Radio with Gene Cook
There are few things worse than silly and grasping heretics...
She turned me into a newt!!! ~ don't tell anyone, but I'm not a Calvinist and somehow that makes the hyperpreterists' denial of the resurrection just ducky
He Loves Me Not ~ More hyperpreterist obfuscation about me not being a Calvinist
Flesh and Blood ~ A response to a hyperpreterist rebuttal. The author has since conceded my point and withdrawn the rebuttal, but it is useful in case anyone else tries this. I am keeping track of these items on my Grave Heresy: Hyperpreterism and the Response of the Church article
A Mack Truck ~ Disposing of a hyperpreterist argument that belongs in the silly Hall of Shame, i.e., that is that there is no such thing as multiple acceptable orthodox eschatologies as orthodoxy requires only one view not four
Slippery as Eels and Wiley as Coyotes ~ exposing some cagey hyperpreterist tactics
Twister ~ Demonstrating the absolutely CULTIC misrepresentation of Pastor Gene Cook by a hyperpreterist

As the Rooster Crows ~ a response to Michael Bennett including an appeal to get him to understand that I agree with him, if hyperpreterism is right, NONhyperpreterists are extreme heretics - IOW that toilet flushes both ways
Perfuming the Hog ~ the newest change in the semantical "war" by Todd Dennis and the newest hyperpreterist tactic to point to ones in their own movement as the True Hyperpreteriststm (as they are not only embracing eschatological heresy but all other kinds as well - which misses the point as to the sum and substance of why it is called hyperpreterism in the first place)
