How to undo history, American Socialist style.

One of the most important – perhaps the most important – thing that we can understand about mobs of young people rioting, looting, and pursuing open revolution in cities across the United States is that the course to where we are now was deliberately set many generations ago and that the state-run “education” of children […]

Our Golden Opportunity: Restoring the Power and Beauty of Home

A radically debased approach to the concept of Home is one of the telltale signs that we’ve devolved into a very unhealthy, fragile, and weak culture. This is one of many painful but important truths being made plain through the unfolding Chinese Coronavirus Pandemic. One of the primary reasons for our inability to weather storms […]

Take Tim Challies To School Day

Most of us have heard some version of the saying: “There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.” While the spirit of the phrase seems virtuous enough at a passing glance, it’s important for us to understand that, in certain contexts, there are indeed stupid questions, and that some of those questions are dangerously stupid […]

Government Run Children’s Education Leads To Government Run Everything Else

Just look at all of those American schoolkids being led by their teacher in a mass, Nazi-style Socialist salute. Hard to believe that was common in U.S. public schools not so long ago. What? You had no idea? You think I’m making it up? You’ve never heard (or seen the many pictures) of American kids […]

Dinosaurs vs. Decentralization

Don’t let the nightly network news or local talk radio tools distract you. Things are getting better. Much better and in major ways. For every idiot Socialist (of both Republican and Democrat flavors) pitching yet another version of the same old tired State-managed/centralized approach to education, economics medicine and everything else, there seems to be […]

10 Real Meanings Of “We Can’t Afford To Homeschool!”

What would you give up in housing, car(s), clothes, vacations, and/or toys in order to get (or keep) your little ones out of the State-run “education” system and secure for them in its place both daily on-site parenting and a Christ-centered approach to the pursuit of knowledge? Would you be willing significantly downgrade your home […]

The Corruption Of Education

What if education means much more than the systems and certifications we’ve been conditioned (or educated) to obsess over? What if our approach to education has us focused on the wrong things as a way of distracting us from the things that matter most? These are some of the important questions we’ll be exploring in […]

BFFs Be Gone! Public Schools Now Want To Ban “Best Friends”

First public schools gave up on even attempting to coherently define such tricky concepts as “boy” and “girl”, banking on the fact that most American parents would ultimately decide to just roll along with their “professionally” orchestrated plunge into terminal idiocy…and they did. Even after the American public school system “came out” as totally pro-gay, […]

True Freedom REQUIRES The Freedom To Fail

1. The primary purpose of State “help” is to foster State dependence. 2. More and more Americans love – and demand – State “help” in practically every area of life. These two realities make it plain that, barring radical repentance and reformation, we are (and should be) a doomed people – and by “people” here […]

Weaponized Ignorance: The Great Success Of Public Schools

Public schools don’t get nearly enough credit for the truly amazing job they’re doing. In an age when wildly inaccurate things are routinely paraded around as truth, one of the most ridiculously off-base assertions regularly repeated by Americans from all across the political spectrum is the contention that public schools are somehow failing in their […]

“Indivisible” Government = Idolatry Of Government

Every time a so-called conservative in America argues for the “indivisibility” of any particular government above any particular people, which they can’t seem to help doing when it comes to their beloved United States of America, I can’t help but imagine Twilight Zone theme music accompanying their presentation. Throw in the fact that most of these […]

Vouchers vs. The Separation of Education and State

Let’s be clear about a few key facts: 1. Government distributed vouchers are Socialism. 2. Vouchers are the forced redistribution of resources in accordance with basic Marxist/Socialist principles. 3. Vouchers are funded through the confiscation (theft) of private property by using the coercive power of the state. I understand that there are many good, God-fearing, conservatively […]

10 Evils Parents Teach Their Kids By Sending Them To Public School

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall […]

America’s Pastor-Led Abandonment Of The Great Commission

Does your Pastor embrace the Gospel-fueled Great Commission? Or does he not? Is your Pastor all about the full life-, culture-, and civilization Gospel? Or is his gospel something smaller. Much smaller. As in: man-sized with no room for anything else. Sadly, it’s this little man-sized, eek-a-person-into-heaven counterfeit gospel that has become the norm in most self-described “conservative, Bible believing” […]

New FBC videos on gender chaos, freedom, and American Socialism.

Hello All, As we mentioned last week, we’ve recently started tinkering with a new video channel in support of the Fire Breathing Christian mission. The general idea is to provide simple, straightforward video commentary in line with the articles we share here at the site. Here are the first four videos posted (with the most recent listed […]

FBC Video Episode 1: Are we educating ourselves to death?

Howdy All, The first clip recorded for our new video channel is up and running. You can check it out by clicking on the play button in the embedded player below: If the embedded player doesn’t work for you, you can click here to access the video. From here on out, we plan to share the audio portions […]

Reaping What We’ve Sown

In case you haven’t noticed, repentance isn’t exactly “a thing” here in ‘Merica. Pride is. ‘Cause we’re clearly God’s favorite. Without America, what would God do? What would He have to work with? Not much, as far as Americans are concerned. Which is why, when it comes to our many openly unbiblical approaches to business, politics, […]

The Dying Dinosaur Of Centralized Education

Dinosaur media empires are dying. Dinosaur business empires are dying. Dinosaur political empires are dying. But perhaps the most exciting (and important) news on the dino front is that dinosaur models of education are dying, too. By God’s grace and right in the nick o’ time, an age of radical decentralization is beginning to dawn all around us, and while […]

Let’s get the State out of our children’s heads, shall we?

Goliath towers. He thinks big, talks tough, and actually seems to believe in the inevitability of his victory. His gaggle of hangers-on and yes-men cheer him on and bask in the glow of his largeness, toughness, and perceived inevitability. Then he gets popped in just the right place at just the right time and goes down. […]

Our Satanic Approach To Education Reveals Our Satanic Approach To God

One of the basic lies that we believe – and love – is the notion that we can have Jesus’ stuff without having Jesus. Prosperity. Peace. Love. Beauty. Justice. Security. Law. We actually think we can pursue these things in a legit manner apart from explicit subjugation to Christ. In a very basic (and hopefully obvious) sense, this […]

If a system can’t define “boy” and “girl”, we shouldn’t send boys or girls to that system for an “education”.

What is a boy? What is a girl? These days, nobody seems to know, particularly the “professionals” running the State-managed children’s education system in America. After many generations of immersion in a State-run, Corporate-managed approach to education lifted from the serpent’s tongue in Genesis 3, we’re so far down the rat-hole of anti-Christian, State-centered discipleship that we can’t […]

What does “satanic” mean, and why do we not seem to know?

What does it mean to be “satanic”? Does a thing have to be over-the-top creepy/bad, like Fifty Shades of Grey or a Ouija board, in order to qualify? Does a person have to do extra-spicy, super-duper evil stuff like subscribe to Playboy or vote Hillary in order to breach the satanic threshold? What does it take? What […]

Jesus vs. the Founding Fathers: Which is essential to children’s education?

One recurring theme on the “conservative” side of the never-ending public school debates raging across America is the emphatic pleading for more accurate and detailed inclusion of the Founding Fathers in our State-run children’s education process. Literally millions of professing Christians all across the fruited plain have no trouble whatsoever loudly, proudly, and aggressively arguing for […]

Repenting Of Our Satanic Approach To Children’s Education

How thoroughly deceived have we become on the subject of education? Do we even notice the satanic foundation of our approach to the pursuit of knowledge? Or has that foundation just become an assumed norm at this point? Maybe even a cherished norm? These are some of the questions we aim to answer in some detail […]

Let’s get together to expose and crush satanic forms of education, shall we?

If education is the acquisition of knowledge, then where we begin with our understanding of knowledge is vital to how we will pursue education. So what is knowledge? More specifically, what is true knowledge? Is the fear of the Lord really “the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7), as Scripture informs us again and again? Or […]

Pulpits, Prisons, and Public Schools

Let’s start with a very simple, basic fact: If the State is allowed to “educate” children, most of those children will – by design – become more inclined toward a State-centered worldview. While some children passing though this system may, by the grace of God, be preserved from such transformation through this process, most will not. And […]

10 Things Americans Won’t Sacrifice To Save Their Children From Public Schools

“But I can’t do that!” This is the typical response of most American Christians to the simple, clear biblical command that God’s people educate their children in an explicitly Christ-centered manner throughout each and every day (see: Deuteronomy 6:5-7). This typical Americanized Christian response is enabled and promoted throughout our dying culture by way of our State-managed “education” systems, […]

If you voted for President-elect Trump while shipping your kids off to public school last week…

If you are one of the millions of Americans who thought that you were actually helping to save America in a meaningful way by voting for Donald Trump while shipping off your little ones for yet another installment in their regularly scheduled, all-day-long, five-days-a-week, nine-months-a-year, 13-year-long mind-sculpting session as managed by the American State in its public schools, you are much […]

If you’re so upset that your child’s school promotes the LGBTQ ‘Day of Silence’ on Friday, why do you keep sending them there?

So here comes this year’s Day of Silence as sponsored by the anti-Christian sexual chaos crowd, which will be supported by scads (and eventually all) State-run Temples of satanic “education”, where millions and millions of little boys and girls are freely shipped by professing Christian parents each weekday for immersion in an approach to life and knowledge first pitched by the […]

What if Cruz supporters yanked their little children from State-run schools?

What if Ted Cruz’s most vocal, passionate, all-in supporters took any 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, or 10-year old children that they currently ship off to Temples of the State for “education” and yanked ’em out of that thoroughly satanic system? What if just half of them did so? What if just half of the […]

Education, worldview wars, and the lions who’ve come before us.

A true Christian education and worldview centers on the fact that good things are happening and ultimate victory is assured. It assumes and builds itself upon on the inevitable victory of the King of Creation over every realm of His creation in accordance with His unstoppable, unbreakable Word and Gospel-fueled Great Commission. It’s in this context that even […]

Signs of the times: How we’ve been “educated” to be our children’s worst enemy.

  Last week in Yes Charlie Brown, there is a satanic worldview…and it’s the foundation of American public schools, we covered a Kentucky elementary school’s omission of a particularly Christian portion of its production of A Charlie Brown Christmas and how local parents responded with the typical “shock”, “horror”, and “outrage” that we’ve all come to expect for decades now from […]

Yes Charlie Brown, there is a satanic worldview…and it’s the foundation of American public schools.

If there’s one thing most “American Christians” will not tolerate, it’s the removal of Christian sprinkles from their otherwise anti-Christian worldviews and practices.  Among the most glaring and impactful of these thoroughly anti-Christian practices is the willingness (and often eagerness) of professing Christians to ship off their little five-, six-, and seven-year-olds to State-run “education” systems in which […]

Do you have two hours a day to focus on your children?

Do you have two hours a day to focus on your children? If so, you can homeschool. That was the short and very sweet point made by a kind Christian woman who called into Stand Up for the Truth on Monday where I was the guest on that day’s show. The subject of the broadcast was children’s […]

American colleges go “safe zone” crazy.

Human history is loaded with examples of young men and women doing what would today be considered amazing things on a fairly routine basis. Oh sure, there were standouts who led soldiers or built businesses in their early teen years, but the norm – the standard expectation – not so long ago was for young men and […]

America’s Fear and Loathing of Christian Homeschoolers

  Just in case anyone out there had forgotten how much this culture and its most thoroughly programmed drones despise the concept and practice of Christian homeschooling, the Lord has graciously provided us with yet another reminder. This time it comes in the form of a Texas homeschooling family who is being savaged by everyone […]

Liars, Jokers, and Thieves: Do we really want Jesus or do we just want His stuff?

“In God We Trust!” “God bless America!” “Oh, how I love Jesus!” This lingo is all over the place in America. As the culture war rages, loud and proud appeals are constantly made by tens of millions of American professing Christians – especially “conservatives” – who claim to love, trust, and adore God. But what do […]

The Difference Between Thumping the Bible and Believing It

  All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. ~ 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (emphasis added) Do we believe this? Do we actually believe that Scripture equips us adequately for every […]

But “Our Schools Are Different!”, Says The State-Discipled Mind

So what if our children are taught that all religions are to be respected equally? So what if our children are taught as much about Islam as they are about Christianity…and all from a supposedly “neutral perspective” (in stark contrast to a biblical perspective)? So what if our children are taught to presuppose no absolute […]

Giving Our Daughters “The College Experience”

Ever wonder why we’re having the cultural experience that we’re having right about now? Ever wonder why we’re having the “gay marriage is ‘legal’” experience now in America? (See: “Supreme Court” Votes for Wrath of God Upon America.) Ever wonder why we’ve been – and continue to have – the “child-sacrifice for convenience is ‘legal’ […]

Ze Heil! (Or: American Education’s Orwellian War on God and Gender)

I remember sitting in my living room with a group of men about a year and a half ago. We are chilling out together, doing a Bible study, and having good conversation. As the conversation rolled on a bit, it got a bit more serious – serious in a good way for the most part, […]

10 Reasons Christians Should Not Teach In Public Schools

Some of my favorite people have been public school teachers. Some of my favorite people are public school teachers. Some of my favorite people are Christians who are teaching or have taught in American public schools. As a product/victim of American State-run worldview programming myself, I have much to be thankful for. High on the list is God’s perfect, purposeful use […]

What if Christians in public “schools” taught Christ instead of Paganism?

What are professing Christians who work for the State-run “education” system supposed to do? How are they supposed to teach? How are they to supposed to present truth? How are they supposed to define and share knowledge? What approach the pursuit of knowledge are they supposed to model for their students? How are they commanded […]

We can’t “pray away” the clarity of Scripture…and we shouldn’t want to.

Prayer is awesome. It’s a matchlessly wondrous and supernaturally powerful means of growth and comfort to the Christian. Through prayer we are able to commune and communicate with the God of all creation in a personal, intimate manner. Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of […]

Statism 101: State-run “education” makes a State-dependent population.

It’s August in America – that time of year when tens of millions of professing Christians in the “land of the free” and the home of the NSA happily send their precious little children off to the State for State-run, pro-State, explicitly anti-Christian “education” in direct violation of the crystal clear Word of God. It […]

Our Inevitable Victory Over Satanic “Education”

These days in America, it’s often professing Christians who seem to least believe that Christ the King actually owns and defines all of reality (see: Colossians 1:16). After generations of immersion in a man-centered, emotion-driven, and culturally disengaged religious worldview masquerading as Christianity, we’ve largely come to expect the victory of Christ’s enemies all around us here on His […]

American Public Schools are Officially Gay

On Friday, millions upon millions of American “Christians” were outraged – outraged, I tell you! – at the “Supreme Court” vote in favor of “gay marriage” as the “law” of the land. Then on Monday many of these very same outraged Christian conservatives freely shipped the delicate, impressionable little boys and girls that God has […]

The Great American Purge of Decentralized Thought Continues

The Great American Purge of decentralized thought continues. Anyone advocating the radical decentralization of power must be silenced. Anything inspiring people to seriously consider and possibly embrace such decentralization must be eliminated. Any challenge to the supremacy and indivisible nature of the almighty American Corporate State cannot and will not be tolerated. (See: The God of Government […]

Franklin Graham’s Incoherent “Fight” Against the Homosexual Agenda

One of the least surprising things in all of God’s creation seems to be the thing that’s most surprising to the vast majority of “American conservative Christians” who simply cannot believe how fast the culture is melting down around them, particularly in the realm of sexuality. But really, what could be more predictable than the sexual, […]

Education Wars: Raising Corporate Cogs vs. Raising Jedi

Who are we and why are we here? What makes for a good life right here and now? What makes for a productive life right here and now? What is success? How is it best defined? How is it best pursued? The answers that we provide – and have been conditioned to provide – to […]

Feeding Our Kids to the Big Gay Beast

State-run schools teach sexual perversion (again). “Christians” pretend to be “shocked” and “horrified” (again)…and keep right on feeding their children to the beast.

So according to a report published late last week, some “shocked” American parents are “furious” about their government run school’s plan to teach kids about stuff like “gender fluidity” and “the gender spectrum”. To which one might be rightly compelled by concern and true love for these folks and their children to respond: What did you expect?! I […]

Government run “education”…and why we don’t know anything anymore.

If there’s one thing we know, it’s that America is awesome! If there’s another thing that we know, it’s that we must place the American State above and beyond any serious challenge. The American State is the hope of the world. The American State cannot be allowed to falter. The American State must prevail…and, by the […]

Have the “We will not obey!” Christian “leaders” repented of their role in bringing us to this hellish condition in the first place?

Have you ever known someone who’s been pursuing a destructive path for a very long time and has been warned by many friends at many times all along the way that what they were doing was wrong, dangerous, and would ultimately lead to serious consequences? We’ve all experienced, witnessed or heard about such situations. You could say that we’ve all been […]

Lesbian Teaches Government School Kindergarteners About “Being Gay”

Shocking! Terrible! How could this happen?! How can those liberals do things like this to our adorable, innocent little children!? Have they no shame?! These are some of the things we think, say, and often hear from others as we witness our American culture and civilization flushing itself down the drain in increasingly dramatic fashion right before […]

The God of Government “Education”

  If you’ve benefitted from the work done at Fire Breathing Christian, we ask that you consider financially supporting the cause. You can do this in one of three ways: You can drop a few bucks in the tip jar by making a one-time donation through PayPal. You can make a regular contribution by joining our monthly […]

And now for “Transgender” Kindergarten, as brought to you by…American “Christianity”

  Last week we covered the new move to support “Transgender” Girl(?) Scouts in, of all places, Utah, so this week it should come as little surprise to anyone with half a clue that we’re now able to confirm…Transgender-friendly Kindergarten! Woohoo! Isn’t tolerance awesome?! Isn’t Christ-dismissing “education” sweet?! And isn’t it great that professing Christians have […]

Christ, Culture War, and the Gospel-fueled Great Commission

What is the true Gospel? What is the biblical Great Commission? And what is the inherent cultural impact of that Gospel-fueled Great Commission? I had the awesome privilege of once again joining the Stand Up for the Truth program for most of the hour’s broadcast, where we kicked around these big, important questions and had a blast […]

Devil’s Ed. 101 (The Prequel)

This is an inverse of the last cartoon, Devil’s Ed. 101. After thinking about that one a bit more, it seemed like a good idea to go back to show the proper order in which the Satanic approach to the pursuit of knowledge was first spoken and then emulated…by us…right up to today. For a […]

American Culture as the American Church’s Report Card

In light of the Gospel-fueled Great Commission of Jesus Christ (see: Matthew 28), the present condition of the American culture can be rightly described as a “report card” for the professing Christian church in America. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore […]

The Serpent’s Ongoing Education (and Control) of the “Bible Belt”

    So there I was, sitting through the second of two similar Tennessee State House hearings on the subject of education, in which Marc Tucker addressed two different Education Committees, when it hit me (again). The “it” in question was this: We apparently have no idea as to what education is, much less what a […]

Why treating God like Charlie Brown’s mom is a really bad idea.

For the vast majority of professing Christians in America, their claim to Christianity centers on little more than their claim to Christianity. Put another way, they are Christians because they say that they are Christians. Their emotions tell them so. Their pastors or priests tell them so. So it must be true. And if you even […]

How “free public schools” make us all renters from the State.

Remember when you could actually own a home in America? The answer is: No, you do not. Even if you think that something like true home ownership was recently or is presently allowed here in “the land of the free” and the home of the NSA, you are simply wrong. As with most of the […]

Former PTA President Champions Playboy-style “Socialization”

I know that right now it can be hard to imagine winning. . It can be hard to imagine children and a culture freed from the State here in “the land of the free” and the home of the NSA. . But we will win. . By the grace of God through the Gospel-fueled Great Commission, His people […]

Rosie, Busgetti, and the Beauty of Catechism

In the wake of her successful campaign for Tennessee’s “Yes on 1” (see pic above) and with our beloved Rosebud about to turn two this coming spring, we knew that it was time. Bible memorization and catechism time. Rosie’s shown a lot of promise on the linguistic front as we’ve ramped up to this moment. She’s counting […]

The Sony/America Puppet Show

So Sony supposedly got “hacked” by North Korea…or Russia…or China…or some combination of the three. That’s the story, anyway. Confidential emails were subsequently leaked, relationships were compromised, and, ultimately, the opportunity for an apparently horrifyingly unfunny “comedy” (The Interview) to flop in a conventional manner was scuttled when it was pulled from conventional release as […]

Torture for Terrorists + Christians as Terrorists = Torture for Christians

[5/16/15: As open hostility toward biblical Christianity in America continues to ramp up, and with the enforced culture-wide embrace of sexual perversion building momentum, this seems like a useful post to revisit.] Okay, let’s see if we can connect the dots here: “Terror” is what the State and its tools tell us it is. It’s what ISIS, al-Qaeda, […]

Why is the beast of Socialism eating our children? Ask your pastor.

Ah, State-controlled children’s “education”. Is there anything more warmly regarded by the typical American? Right outta the Communist Manifesto, yet adored and defended by most professing conservatives in America. Built plainly upon the satanic approach to the pursuit of knowledge, yet adored and defended by most professing Christians in America. Talk about a gigantic, disgusting, yet very much cherished […]

The Consequences of Feeding Our Children to the Beast

  What if Scripture – what we call “the Bible” – was infinitely more than anything else ever written or read, because it was an actual and accurate revelation of God’s very nature? Of who He is? What if this literary revelation had been lovingly provided by God to His people for the sake of ensuring that they enjoy the […]

What does Jesus bring to politics, education, law, and economics?

  The Bible is loaded with foundational statements that are bizarre, offensive and often quite disgusting to the unbelieving ear. We are commanded to “eat Christ’s flesh and drink His blood”. We are told that He is “the bread of life”, “the Word made flesh”, and that He is “the way, the truth, and the life” personified. […]

Why do most professing Christians dismiss God’s Word on children’s education?

What if God was not only real, but had lovingly provided us with the information and understanding by which we might tackle every important subject and challenge that could come our way? What if He, in His infinite wisdom and matchless grace, had given us such detail as to the nature of every realm of human experience, culture, and […]

Adolescence is a Big Fat Lie

Did you know that 18-year-olds are not children? They’re not kids. Well, they’re not supposed to be anyway…however much the typical American 20-something male might seem to be living evidence of the contrary. They may well be the children and kids of their parents, and those parents are always going to lovingly consider them in […]

Publicly proclaiming this truth will get you run out of many churches in America…all in the name of love, unity, and Jesus.

Did you know that reposting or sharing this sort of thing publicly could well end up being a giant step toward you and your family being actively run out of many “good, conservative, Bible-believing Christian churches” in America? Yep, it’s sad but true. But should we really be surprised? We ought to already understand that, as believers who strive by God’s […]

Retarded by Design: The Mind Blowing Success of State-Controlled “Education”

“Public schools are a failure!” is one of the most thoroughly idiotic lines that we can ever let slip through our mouths as Christians. “But my school is different,” is another. “It’s filled with wonderful Christian teachers who pray all the time and go to good churches. They even preach the gospel by hidden code embedded in […]
