a podcast for
those who Love Jesus... uh, but aren't too sure about Church.

"Squeeze
Me... uh, on second thought, don't!"

The Revelation! I think Steve Camp says it best...
The
world was a very good
friend of mine
It promised everything I wanted in life
It came to me with its passion and gold
I bought it for a while it nearly
cost me my soul.
Don't you know the world will tease you,
it will seize you,
it will squeeze you
until you are in to its mold
Love the world and the
love of the Father is not in us. Pretty strong,
but true, words.
“I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and
State.
My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on
their own,
so that both of them together is certain death.”
George Carlin (1937- )
I am keenly aware of the fact that you may be wondering
about a guy who would write a book entitled, Love Jesus, Hate
Church. You probably have some questions, maybe many
questions, about the origins of a book that makes people as
uncomfortable as Love Jesus, Hate Church has proven to do.
You may be asking yourself, "How can you be a Christian
and use the words Love and Hate and Jesus and Church all in
the same sentence? It just seems so wrong."
And, you're right. It does seem wrong.
True. But wrong.
Yep, I would probably be wondering the same thing if
the tables were turned and I found myself in your shoes.
So, let me see if I can shed some light on who I am and
why I do what I do by telling you a bit about myself and how I
came to write Love Jesus, Hate Church. Let me share with you,
oh, how shall I put it— the joy of believing the lie. I
believe this will give you a better grasp of who I am and why
I wrote
Love Jesus, Hate Church.
