Luther at the Movies

Because Hollywood needs serious reform

Professional Atheists vs. the Kid from Growing Pains

I kid you not. Ach! Let's assume he's a delightful lad—but COME ON, PEOPLE!

Yes, can we please press into service Douglas Wilson or Alvin Plantinga or Alister McGrath or David Hart or any number of Lutherans, from Wolfhart Pannenberg to Robert Jenson—anyone who wasn't associated with those fukakta Left Behind movies! Let us be clear here: the Rapture rap is to serious theology what a fortune cookie is to an MRI!

I must lie down. Bring me my Hot Pockets . . . I must have my Hot Pockets . . .

Get This: Not Wilson or Hart or McGrath, but Al Sharpton took on Christopher Hitchens. While I am decidedly not a fan of Mr. Sharpton's modus operandi—you know, he didn't fare too badly . . .

UPDATE: And so Wilson contra Hitchens was not merely pie in the sky, but is taking place as we speak! Hurrah!

Reviews of My Blog!

"He's just too funny—and too Lutheran—to resist."
—Aardvark Alley

"[O]ne of the funniest blogs I've ever read ... If this doesn't win all you thin-blooded Calvinists over, I don't know what will."
—Lars Walker, author ofWolf Time and Year of the Warrior

"Oh my gosh, this is way too funny. I don't know if it would be funny to people who are not Lutheran, but it's freakin' hilarious."
—Runaway Nun

"It's been a while that I have laughed aloud while simply reading something, but such was my reaction to a new Lutheran blog: Luther at the Movies. You simply must check it out. What a scream!"
—Preachrblog

"[J]ust stop everything you're doing and laugh for an extended period of time reading some of Luther's modern day commentaries (this guy might actually be my main man)."
—Hot Lutheran on Lutheran Action

"[I]t's hilarious. I hardly ever laugh out loud while reading something anymore—only when reading Twain, Terry Pratchett, or this guy."
—Stormfield Manor

"It is basically hilarious."
—Ora et Labora

"This is one of the funniest sites I have ever visited ... I laughed so hard I cried."

"Martin Luther is back and he's writing from somewhere between Heaven and Hell (certainly NOT Purgatory).

The Reformation of manners is nigh!" —Hunter Baker, contributing editor for Salvo magazine and blogger for the American Spectator and Redstate.com blogs
