01- Welcome aboard!

Hope you brought your asbestos underwear!

Hi folks! I’m excited to kick off a new venture in religious heresy! Er, I mean, a different way of thinking about God, religion, the Bible, and Jesus. For what it’s worth, the word “heretic” comes from the Greek word “hairetikos” which means “able to choose.” I hope to present you with what I consider valid alternative meanings to teachings and scriptures most Christians will recognize instantly, and allow you to choose for yourself whether these ideas hold water.

My intention is to publish at least once a week, maybe more if I feel froggy. You can access this newsletter by either a free or paid subscription. All of my core teachings will be available for free. Paid subscribers will also get personal articles about how I came to believe what I believe. And brother, let me tell you, there have been a lot of twists and bumps in the road. Were it not for the grace of God, I promise you I would not be where I am today.

In the interests of full transparency, I have no religious accolades at all. I am not ordained, nor even in seminary. I have no MDiv or Ph.D. or even Reverend attached to my name. I cannot say “thus saith the Lord,” but I CAN say “thus saith Art, and he may be full of crap.” In the end, even if you read my posts and disagree with 100% of them, I promise they will make you think. And that is, in and of itself, valuable for spiritual growth.

To combat the hordes of spambots that plagued my previous blog, chat will unfortunately be limited to paid subscribers. But you can always send me an email to tell me you enjoyed a post or I’m going to bust Hell wide open, as you see fit.

So climb aboard, Buttercup! We’re about to go sacred cow tipping! YEEHAW!
