Pop Culture Matters (A Lot!) – An Intro To The New FBC Video Channel

Pop culture matters. A lot. For many reasons, including the fact that pop culture plays a significant role upstream of things like politics, economics, education, and art, all of which are very important to King Jesus and, as a result, should be very important to those who claim to love and serve King Jesus. Things […]

Batman Goes Full Frontal Stupidity

DC Comics recently released a new Batman comic book in which Batman is presented in frontal nudity form. While the new title, appropriately titled Batman: Damned, gives us clarity on parts of Batman that few, if any, Batman fans actually want, perhaps the even more pathetic and disappointing revelation made plain by Batman: Damned is […]

Yoda Declares Bert & Ernie NOT Gay; Sends SJW’s Into Hateful Rage

So if Bert and Ernie are “gay”, we’re all supposed to be thrilled, happy, accepting, and supportive of them in their precious little homosexual puppet pursuits. But if they’re not gay and we’re happy that they’re not gay, well, then that’s obviously a sign of our being evil, bigoted, hate-filled creatures, and there’s no amount […]

Why Sane People Ignore SJW Demands On Sex And Gender

On the one hand we’re supposed to be obsessed with pursuing “proper representation” (which is conveniently left undefined) of women in movies, games, comics, and jobs of all sorts. And on the other hand, Bruce Jenner is a woman. Really. Not. Even. Kidding. This is what passes for “reality” in the crazyland of Social Justice […]

Marvel Re-Launches Failed Gay (Per)Version of Iceman

One of the many ways in which the inherent bankruptcy and laziness of Social Justice Warrior ideology presents itself is in its advocates’ inability to create their own compelling fictional characters, stories, and settings from which to advance their agenda. Instead, SJW’s rely on capturing existing icons and perverting them into tools to use in […]

Wonder Woman’s Creepy SJW Origin Story

Bondage, bisexuality, polygamy, and a mission to move the culture towards a more favorable view of each of these things. That’s the Wonder Woman origin story that DC Comics doesn’t promote much…yet…and that’s the origin story we discuss in the following video, with an emphasis on the character of Wonder Woman, her creators, and those […]

Asgard & Wakanda: Marvel’s SJW Racial Theory On Display

Why would self-proclaimed champions of social justice, diversity, tolerance, and inclusion create two kingdoms with polar opposite approaches to race, tolerance, and inclusion? Because, as with practically every hot button buzzword Social Justice Warriors use, terms like diversity, tolerance, and inclusion don’t mean…well…what those words actually, objectively mean in the real world. In the alternate […]

A Stack Of Foundations Does Not A Building Make

Film, literature, art. Movies, poems, comic books. For some weird and wildly unbiblical reason, these sorts of things are looked down on by many self-assessed “mature” or “deep” Christians. Just to be clear, I’m not talking merely about the perverted versions of these things presently permeating the culture. I’m talking about the things themselves – […]

Saving Sci-Fi (And Everything Else) From The SJW Madness

What happens when culture is surrendered to the enemy? What happens when Christians decide that they’re “too spiritual” to pursue excellence in film, literature, and art or that “there’s no point anyway” because “the culture will only get worse and worse anyway before the rapture”? Put another way, what happens when “Christians” stop believing, obeying, […]

Pando Calrissian And Disney’s Ongoing Rape Of Star Wars

Let’s begin with the obvious: Disney loves to sexualize children. Disney also loves to bring chaos (“fluidity”) to the foundations of healthy sexuality, healthy family life, and healthy culture in general both through the sexualization of children and as the means by which more and more children might be sexualized in the future. So now […]

Ranking Star Wars Flicks Heading Into “Solo: A Star Wars Story”

I’ve got a bad feeling about this. And I’m not alone. With three awful Disney Star Wars flicks already in the can and previews for Solo looking…well…pretty much on trend with the shallow, stupid, flagrantly SJW direction of the franchise, it’s hard to be optimistic at this point. Hopeful, yes. Optimistic, no. There’s a difference. […]

Disney’s SJW Pornification Of Star Wars

Ever since The Farce Awakens hit the scene in 2015, I’ve been kind of dreading the arrival of The Least Jedi. Okay, scratch the kinda. From the age of five, when I first saw Star Wars in 1977, I was a full-blown fanatic for the series, eager to catch midnight premier showings of each new […]

Affleck’s Batman, Weinstein’s Super-Predator, And The Dawn Of Justice Over Hollywood

The cause, character, and continuing trajectory of the Harvey Weinstein scandal now consuming Hollyweird is, in essence, neatly summarized in one tiny little scene from last year’s big budget blockbuster “superhero” flick, Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Before we dive into that clip, it’s important to note that this Harvey Weinstein thing is a Big Deal, and […]

What happened to Star Wars? And why does it matter? (VIDEO)

What happened to Star Wars? How bad was Episode VII? How much more damage will Disney do in Episode VIII? Why should these things matter to Christians? These are some of the questions we kick around in the latest post at the FBC video channel. This is something of a follow-up to an article we posted in […]

Babel, Rogue One, and The Man in the High Castle

I finally got a chance to catch Rogue One this week. Normally I’m one of Those People who takes in Star Wars flicks at the earliest legally allowed viewing opportunity, but this time around there was just too much better-than-Star Wars stuff going on (like the arrival and settling in of Baby Buss #3, for […]

“How Prince practiced what Christians pretend to believe.” – The Hell Razer Report Podcast

In this week’s episode of The Hell Razer Report, we consider the impact of the recently deceased pop culture icon Prince and how he embraced the application of his worldview in all that he did, including his art. We contrast Prince’s appreciation and application of a comprehensive (satanic) worldview with the lack of such comprehensive application by most professing […]

Prince was right about one big thing: Everything is spiritual.

Prince seemed to understand and appreciate one vital worldview forming fundamental in a way that is vigorously (and you might say religiously) avoided by most professing Christians permeating the culture that he reshaped and molded through his decidedly anti-Christ approach to music. Everything is theological. Everything is spiritual. Music is a vehicle for spirituality. It is a medium for the expression of […]

Captain Picard/Professor X Goes Drag Queen

Well, at least Patrick Stewart wasn’t seen in public holding a Bible and taking a stand for its detailed application in the arts…or business…or law, civil government or anything else. That would be unforgivable. That could not be tolerated. That would have to be punished. But dress in full drag to promote a TV show? Oh yeah, that’s […]

Escapism vs. Exaltation: Two Opposing Motives for Sci-Fi and Fantasy

Why do we imagine? Why do we fantasize? What is healthy fantasy? What is unhealthy fantasy? How do we determine the difference between the two and live in light of that distinction? How do we understand and interact with things like Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, The Chronicles of Narnia or […]

The Martian, the Gospel and the pouting unbeliever.

Holly and I took in The Martian last night and it was all that I’d expected it to be after hearing and reading many rave reviews. It was very well acted and very well directed (Ridley Scott is a genius). It had a solid enough plot and interesting enough twists. It was a well polished […]

When Little gods Die

By now you’ve almost surely heard the news of David Bowie’s death and have likely been exposed to dozens if not hundreds if not thousands of homages, tributes, and retrospective adoration sessions. I’m not going to add to that list of Bowie-centric examinations here. I want to look less at the specifics of David Bowie and more at […]

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Rolls Over In Bed…and what Christians oughta do about it.

  Like it or not, love ’em or hate ’em, sci-fi and fantasy are important. They matter. They move minds, lives, and cultures. Thus, Christians oughta make ’em high priority targets to be “taken captive” a la 2 Corinthians 10:5, purging them of sin and purifying them in accordance with the life-giving, everything-reconciling Gospel-fueled Great Commission of King Jesus. […]

Answering a question about the Enterprise (or Galactica or Millennium Falcon) to come.

  Yesterday’s post (Fear Not: The Future Is Christian) revisited a topic that we just love to touch on here from time to time, that being the awesome future prepared and secured by God in which His supernaturally saved and sanctified people will learn, grow, explore, cultivate, and adventure forever unencumbered by sin in a restored creation. Well over a year […]

Fear Not: The Future Is Christian

One of the great things about a new Star Wars flick blowing through the land is the incredible opportunity that it gives Christians to engage, process, and clarify to a watching culture what is truly beautiful, what is truly ugly, what is truly good, what is truly bad, why it all matters and where it’s all really going from […]

A long time from now in a galaxy far, far away…

A long time from now in a galaxy far, far away (and in every galaxy in all of creation, come to think of it)… All evil empires will have been completely vanquished and long faded from the scene… The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, […]

Why do we prefer ignorance and bondage to truth and freedom?

The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. . . ~ Acts 17:30 One awesome – and awesomely convicting – principle revealed in Scripture is that we are responsible for the light that has been given us. Not merely the light that we choose to soak in, choose to meditate […]

Yes, even our Muppets are depraved. (Nothing’s safe when nothing’s sacred.)

Kermit playing the field? Miss Piggy considering breast augmentation? Sure. And why not? Why wouldn’t even our Muppets become jaded and tainted by the rot we’ve tolerated and embraced as a people? One of the most ridiculous lies we’ve embraced is the notion that anything is safe from the corrupting power of unaddressed sin – the […]

Warp speed fantasies, realities, and the never-ending adventure to come.

In a recent article posted at The Daily Mail, the University of Sydney’s Professor Geraint Lewis talked about the possibility of something like warp drive from Star Trek becoming a reality in light of Einstein’s theory of relativity. While the article was loaded with enough qualifiers to make it anything but an endorsement of the inevitability […]

Our Star Trek just got one step closer to reality.

Back in October, we asked the question: Enterprise, Falcon, or Galactica? What will Christians use to explore the restored cosmos? It appears that Enterprise may have jumped out to an early lead of sorts. According to a report posted by The Mirror earlier this week, something akin to “Star Trek impulse drive” may have actually been developed: Flying to […]

The Awesome Theology Of Dirty Harry

“A man’s got to know his limitations.” ~ Detective Harry Callahan, Magnum Force (1973) . Truer words have never been spoken. And truer words have never been lost in the fog following a barrage of precisely placed rounds from a .44 Magnum. But there they stand nonetheless, those powerfully humbling words, haunting and reminding us to this […]

Art, math, beauty, logic, law and economics…it’s all about Him.

Who is the personal source of perfect beauty, art, mathematics, language, drama, technology, astronomy, politics, and economics? He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him […]

The Vision of The Avengers and the Vision of Christianity

I was four when Star Wars happened and pretty much changed my world. About a year and a half later, Superman: The Movie hit the scene escorted by the promotional tagline, “You’ll believe a man can fly.” It was a magical time. From there, it was off to Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, a reborn Star Trek and […]

Isn’t our robotic future exciting? (Or: Should Christians fear or embrace technology?)

China has announced plans to construct an all-robot manufacturing plant. And this scares some people. There are good reasons for healthy concern (not to be confused with fear). A whole lotta folks and families are about to have their economic worlds – and overall worldviews – fundamentally rocked. They’re going to learn the hard way that the “reality” […]

Stick People for Jesus – An “Accidental” Comic

Last week, I realized that the comic strip I’d planned on running here as a regular part of Fire Breathing Christian just wasn’t gonna work out. It wasn’t gonna happen, and I was bummed. After much effort was spent over several months’ time, I couldn’t get what I’d drawn on paper to convert well enough into a […]

The Beauty of Orcs

Ever been stopped in your tracks by the sheer beauty of an orc? Have you ever been compelled to pause and ponder their captivating and inspiring nature? Have you ever thought of how thankful you and the rest of the world should be for their particular flavor of loveliness? Of course, I’m not talking about physical comeliness or attractiveness here. Orcs […]

Exodus: Gods and Kings and Morons

As many have already noticed, there are some very cool stories in the Bible. Supernaturally cool and, better yet, true stories. One of the sweetest – yet most overlooked – aspects of the presentation of these supernaturally cool true stories by God in history and His thoughtful preservation of them in the loving, vivid detail of His Word is the fact that […]

The Reality of Transhumanism and the Glory of God

We see and hear all kinds of crazy things these days…or at least we categorize them as “crazy” so that we might more comfortably push them off to the side, safely out of focus and away from serious consideration. And while that can seem to work for a while, it never really does. In the end, […]

The Seams in Satan’s Godzilla Suit

  In 1954, greatness was born. It came in a peculiar package and was inherently inclined towards destructive ends, but it was greatness nonetheless. Are we talking about the birth of the super-secret, ultra-conspiratorial Bilderberg Group or maybe the dawn of the super-idiotic, hyper-congenial Miss America Pageant? Nope. While both may well peg the bad-o-meter […]

Our Future in the Stars

Not so long ago, in a galaxy not nearly far enough away… Actually just a few weeks back and in this galaxy – on this very planet, even – there was a particular mansion-wandering mega-consumer and hyper-capitalist who was basking in the glow of his most recent multi-gazillion dollar earning success story. Well, this particular success was much […]

Making Contact with the SETI Standard

“So what’s more likely? That an all-powerful, mysterious God created the universe, and decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or, that He simply doesn’t exist at all, and that we created Him, so that we wouldn’t have to feel so small and alone?”
