DoH played a role both in C’s apostasy and in his subsequent apologetic for agnosticism. Even when he was a Christian, he agonized over assurance and this was fueled by the fear of hell. In this post, I address the Doctrine of Hell (hereafter: DoH).Ĭhristian has an intense relationship to DoH. Mainly, however, I want to interact with a couple or three prominent theological themes of theirs because I think they are tapping into a widespread unease within the American church scene. That part may be worth a comment or two later. There is a great deal of patter advocating a schoolboy leftism of the kind that is pushed by Huffpost and the ADL. This complementary asymmetry gives an interesting dynamic. The guys are not clones of each other: I would peg Christian’s IQ at 10-15 points higher, but Jason is the more erudite, having graduated from Westminster Escondido Seminary. Both guys began as Calvary Chapel wonks, evolved into hard-core calvinism, from whence Christian apostatized into agnosticism and Jason into popery. But specifically, there is a large attraction within a segment of evangelical heritage that feels the itch for post-modernism and this podcast scratches it. I think people enjoy hearing even amateurish conversation on substantive topics because, even though we have become a debauched people that shouts banalities over the din of ubiquitous blared unmusic, deep down we know it is ridiculous to live that way. It is two forty-something fellows that have been close friends for 25 years and still like to get together and lolligag - something rare in our deracinated frenetic world. The Drunk Ex-Pastors podcast has evidently become quite a sensation in the post-modern exangelical world.
