Dawn … I've been wanting to read that book for some time. I read an article with Radosh and I've been intrigued ever since.

What did you think of the book?

There's a really interesting book titled Rapture Ready by Daniel Radosh, a journalist who spent several months investigating Christian pop culture. He made some interesting discoveries about derivative work when it comes to Christian music, books, apparel, films, theme parks, comedy, and many other creative outlets that make up this $7 billion industry. Just an idea if you wanted to explore this concept further…

I love the un-creative part. we usually tend to just copy even copy from the world because i think that's easier but we always forget that our God is like the source of creativity. if we tap on Him then surely creative juices come out without a sweat.

About the We think we know everything: not to disagree but to clarify and not sound defensive. sometimes we believe for something and we hold on to that not really looking at knowing everything but knowing because we believe that God can do something. about the who's going to hell…now that's wrong. we can only say for ourselves.

Joy ... First and foremost: WELCOME. Glad to have you on board here at BeDeviant.

Re: Deviant. Check out our About page (http://bedeviant.com/about) ... We address that question specifically.

Re: Exploration. Quantum physics. It's all about quantum physics. No joke!

Re: Solutions ... Not sure yet. Would you have any to offer? I'm not sure how to get around some of them other than just being a decent human being.

So Justin,

New to your site and curious what your version of a religious deviant is? I've never heard the term before and wonder how the two words fit together? And also curious how you're "creatively exploring the riches of the Spirit of Christ."

Sounds exciting to say the least.

I felt "convicted" reading some of the points above, but am curious what solutions you offer for your assertions? That's what I would love to read as a post. Have you written one that I missed? Again, I'm new and very open to reading whatever you want to share since I think you have an interesting perspective.

Maybe a little judgmental too, but that's par for the course as a "religious" person, right?:)

I came here as a birth mother wondering what you have to say about adoption and will read that next.

Todd Bentley kicks women in the face by his own admission. He literally beats up sick people who come to him for "healing"? At one point will you ever condemn someone's behavior? Physical abuse is not enough?

Calling someone out for physically abusing people is not "hate." It's called being a responsible citizen. What about Bentley's victims? Should we just brush them under the rug to be "loving" to Bentley? That just makes no sense.

I know you are trying to make non-Christians feel welcome and show them that you are a very reasonable everyman but come on. This is bordering on the ridiculous.

Just discovered this post, and site…. good stuff!

I especially connected with #1 – one of the sorriest things I have heard in the last few years was how Ted Haggard had no one from his (former at that point?) congregation help him move. It's as certain as death and taxes that a person needs help moving and it would have sent a message to the world if people who used to be (but still should be) his friends had've said “to heck with what people think, a man needs help moving and we're here to help you Ted”.

Here's another I would like to add: We talk about how Powerful & mighty our God is but we run away in fear when some ones talks about our aura, phsycic abilities, astral travel, shaman healers etc…. When will the Church world ever get off their booties and start realising that these are all counterfiets of God's power and instead of witch covens, spiritualists etc doing these acts… We should be at the forefront of it!! Start moving in the supernatural, start seeing in the spirit… become the manifested sons of God that the world is groaning for!!
