Religion Myths

Ever wonder why much of American Christianity is pro-spanking, pro-tough-on-crime, anti-gun control, pro-war, and hell-affirming, even though Jesus taught mercy, non-violence and enemy love? When Michael Camp started deconstructing his evangelical faith, he noticed a pattern. The doctrines he questioned—original depravity, substitutionary atonement, God-ordained genocide in the Old Testament, the doctrine of hell, etc.—were all tied to retribution and violence.

Did Jesus Christ really exist? A rationalist answer to the question is given here by an ordained minister, independent preacher, and lecturer on "independent religion", M. M. Mangasarian.

In 2012, an incredible phenomenon began to occur. Internet users, in earnest, began reporting frightening encounters with emaciated, pale, hairless humanoids that, for the most part, crawled on all fours. Internet users attempted to equate these entities with characters of Native American mythology, oblivious to the fact that the humanoids in these encounters bore a resemblance to the fictional Rake. Many witnesses suggested that they were "Skinwalkers," medicine men or witches of traditional Navajo lore who possess the ability to transform into animals.

Between a fragile gospel and a fear mongering eschatology could it be possible that we have continued the illegal conversation shared between Eve and the serpent in the garden?

Just as the title implies, this book reveals how you have been deceived on a MASSIVE scale that scripture actually prophesied (Rev 12:9, 20:7-8), we have researched the numerous " prophetic understandings" being widely taught, and they are wrong. This, seven years later, when I began learning, still astonishes me. That is the mythbusting aspect of the book or 1st argument presented, the 2nd argument is the replacement offered. So, even if you disagree with the replacement, that is only the second argument and you are still freed from the myth!

What if all the bad news you've been hearing about Christians isn't true? Here are some facts that may surprise you: Evangelicals are more respected by society today than they were 20 years ago. Divorce rates of Christian couples are lower than those of nonbelievers. The percentage of young people who attend church has held steady over the past 20 years. All these statements are true, yet we’ve been told the opposite time and time again. Why is the church being misled?

Moms have been hoodwinked - tricked into believing lies that keep them from not only enjoying motherhood, but forging friendships with other moms who might tackle the tasks of motherhood differently. Myths such as “Mothering is natural, easy, and instinctive” cause moms to feel like failures if they have questions or apprehensions in raising their kids.

People of faith need to be comfortable and intentional in two worlds—the world of the kingdom and the world of the commercial—blending and balancing their roles in each. Authors John C.
