Tithing
The world is a crazy place. That’s why three mega-church pastors pretending to be accountants and bad white rappers pushing the congregation for 10 per cent tithes with a laser light show and dance routine should be of no surprise! What is surprising then? They’re actually pretty funny. I almost wrote them a cheque. Just kidding; churches are the only things left on earth that still take cheques.
Satire
Those crazy Irishmen are at it again. Conall and Donall meet Richard Dawkins. Though it was never particularly difficult to suss out Dawkins’ circular arguments, the good ol’ boys at Lutheran Satire sure make it fun to watch. It might not be as pointed as some of their other gems (see The Hippy Dippy Pope) but it’s well worth the five minutes. The only problem with these wonderfully rude little people is that I can’t help but click the “next video” button. They are addictive.
Apologetics
Tektonics is the apologetics website of one J. P. Holding; a well-known name on TheologyWeb, GodTube and YouTube. He has a handful of published books, but Tektonics is his crown jewel. Holding is a minister living in Florida and an ex-prison librarian. He is well read, very intelligent and extraordinarily arrogant. In other words, he’s fun. He regularly critiques the likes of Robert Price and Bart Ehrman, taking “new” arguments against Christianity and showing how they have already been refuted. Take a look at “Abraham Lincoln didn’t exist” to get a handle on what he does.

Book
What if, in some strange dystopian future, the U.S.A. was ruled by a new political force known as the Centurion? What if the year were 2099 and miserable? And then one man dares to challenge everything: Deacon Larser. Centurion is the apocalyptic thriller by Ryan Casey Waller. It is the retelling of Mark’s gospel from a futuristic perspective. I know it sounds odd. And it is. But it also gets you to see the story in a whole new light. And if you have a Kindle it’s just $1.23. Where else can you get five hours of entertainment that cheap?
