The Museum of Idolatry is the worlds largest collection of idolatry. We have over 800 exhibits and we're adding more exhibits almost daily.
If this is your first time visiting please feel free to grab a beverage and take your time wandering through the museum. This site provides a front row seat for the Great Apostasy that is sweeping through today's "Christianity".
Thanks again for visiting.
Tims Stevens, one of the "pastors" at Granger Community Church Self-Help and Life Improvement Center has redefined the terms "worship" and "Christ-Centered". His broad new expansive and generous redefinition of the terms "worship" and "Christ-Centered" are soooooo loose and broad that they can easily accomodate Van Halen's Eruption and a rock song that doesn't even mention Jesus Christ or God for that matter. The song mentions love, it talks about living a more moral life. But, let's be honest. A Mormon could sing that song. A Buddhist could sing that song. A Muslim could sing that song. A member of the Purple Nike Cult could sing that song. The "god" that is being worshiped in these songs is impossible to divine.
Fact is, this may be "worship" BUT it is definitely NOT "Christian Worship" or "Christ-Centered Worship".

So when "pastors" redefine terms like "worship" and "Christ-Centered" in such broad and loose ways what ends up happening is that those terms no longer mean anything because they mean whatever the person employing them wants them to mean.
...There's glory for you!'`I don't know what you mean by "glory",' Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. `Of course you don't -- till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!"'
`But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument",' Alice objected.
`When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.'
`The question is,' said Alice, `whether you can make words mean so many different things.'
`The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, `which is to be master -- that's all.' Alice was too much puzzled to say anything; so after a minute Humpty Dumpty began again.
`They've a temper, some of them -- particularly verbs: they're the proudest -- adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs -- however, I can manage the whole lot of them! Impenetrability! That's what I say!'
`Would you tell me please,' said Alice, `what that means?'
`Now you talk like a reasonable child,' said Humpty Dumpty, looking very much pleased. `I meant by "impenetrability" that we've had enough of that subject, and it would be just as well if you'd mention what you mean to do next, as I suppose you don't mean to stop here all the rest of your life.'
`That's a great deal to make one word mean,' Alice said in a thoughtful tone. `When I make a word do a lot of work like that,' said Humpty Dumpty, `I always pay it extra.'
`Oh!' said Alice. She was too much puzzled to make any other remark.
`Ah, you should see 'em come round me of a Saturday night,' Humpty Dumpty went on, wagging his head gravely from side to side, `for to get their wages, you know.' (Alice didn't venture to ask what he paid them with; and so you see I ca'n't tell you.) Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass

So the reason that people should attend Aviator Church in Kirby, Kansas is so that they can listen to sermons that will teach them how to "Get Some"? (this is a reference to sex)
Yeah, that's why Jesus hung dead on the cross...so that we can "get some". Who needs the good news regarding the forgiveness of sins because of Jesus' death on the cross when you can get the immediate gratification of the good news on how to "get some"?
This is the most unfortunate name for a sermon (Mother's day sermon to boot) that we've ever seen. Notice the suuuuuper tiny small "r" that changes this from Pimp my Mom to Primp my Mom. But that r is really hard to see. This is an epic fail at trying to make the church "relevant".
This sermon is from Barefoot Church in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Forget theology. Today's Biblical illiterati have traded sound doctrine and theology for Idiology. While watching this video (which will make you more stupid by the second) Don't forget to imbibe in your own can of Shoobie Doobie Booobie Juice.

Would you attend a church that advertised itself as a "strip club"? Church by the Glades is doing just that.
Maybe they could start worship with their Pole Dancing Ministry.
Bruce Wilkinson, author of the run away heretical fad book, The Prayer of Jabez, is set to fleece God's sheep again in September with the release of another book entitled, "You Were Born for This: Seven Keys to a Life of Predicable Miracles".
Chris Rosebrough, curator of the Museum of Idolatry will be discussed this book on his radio program on June 17th on Pirate Christian Radio. Click Here to Listen.
This video is the strongest argument that we've yet seen for the MANDATORY and FREQUENT drug screening of Purpose-Driven / Seeker-Driven pastors.
Does cussing in order to tell other pastors not to cuss make ANY sense to you?
Here's a simple exercise. Watch this video produced by Momentum Church and just ask yourself one question... "Was the language and content of this video appropriate for Jesus Christ's Name to be attached to it?" (All Christian Church's are inextricably linked to Jesus Christ)
If you attend Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, aka Rob Bell's church, don't expect to hear Biblical Christianity. You should expect to hear all kinds of novel and imaginative ideas but don't expect to hear Biblical Christianity.
Here is a sampling of the heresies that Emergence guru, Phyllis Tickle spewed while speaking at Rob Bell's church a few short weeks ago. She was invited by the pastoral staff at Mars Hill to come and speak about the 'feminine attributes' of the Holy Spirit.
DONT MISS the whopper of a heresy that she spews at the 8:11 mark. At that point she claims that when we take communion we are "FEEDING THE "GOD" WITHIN US".
If Rob Bell and the pastoral staff at Mars Hill Bible church do not publicly rebuke this woman and publicly repudiate her heresies then they are guilty of participating in her rebellion against God's word and guilty of promoting her heresies.
Note: the music for this snippet is taken from Fractured Fairy Tales. We think that is perfectly appropriate for the 'fairy tales' and myths that Tickle is attempting to pawn off as Christian doctrine.

Listen carefully to T.D. Jakes' answer regarding whether or not salvation can be found in other religions.
Father David Buckley unveiled the £35,000 seven-foot high bronze statue at the Our Lady Immaculate and St Philip Neri Catholic church in Uckfield.
Cornish's sculpture was funded by money left by Winifred Gregory, 87, a member of the congregation who passed away last year.
Christ is wearing jeans and a shirt billowing in the wind while his hair and beard are neatly and fashionably trimmed.
Father Buckley said: "You are always looking for new ways to enrich people in the experience of Christianity and it is good people can be open-minded to appreciate it.

The me too, monkey see monkey do, world mimicking relevant church just can't sit idlely by while the most relevant movie of the moment smashes box office records. They just have to find a way to ride the wave of relevance created by block buster movies like the new Star Trek.
Here is exhibit #1 from Faith Fellowship in Alton, IL.
They've found a way to tie Star Trek and Parenting.
Here's what their website says:
Captain’s log star date 050309. While in standard orbit, those aboard the Parenting Enterprise are experiencing dramatic morphing of their offspring--certain alien-type characteristics have also developed in both the parents and children. Close examination indicates a spatial rift may be imminent. Historical data confirms similar morphing patterns among previous generations of young Earth dwellers; however, the current conditions are excessively challenging. Super-human intelligence is required to intervene and prevent the affected beings from being launched into an uncharted dimension.
Do you ever feel that you are in outer space when it comes to relating to your children? Are you frightened and uncertain? Helping children find their identity in a fearful culture is an awesome task. You need enhanced communication devices to meet the challenges of this electronic age. Have you opened your Facebook page to God as a friend? Are you allowing Him to write on your wall? Allow God to help you in your parenting challenges by sharing in this new message series with Dr. Daymond Talkington.
Do you think that this lame attempt at relevance will pack unbelievers into church or convince them that Christians are pathetic in their attempts to 'be relevant'?
With Todd Bentley being rapidly restored to 'ministry' after the news of his inappropriate relationship abruptly ended the so-called Lakeland Revival in scandal, it's time to ask if the so-called healings that Bentley performed were real.
In the current issue of World Mag, Warren Cole Smith is reporting that some people that Bentley had proclaimed as having received miraculous healing from God died shortly after their visits to Lakeland. This is even more damning proof that shows that Bentley is a false prophet, a fraud and a dangerous con-artist.
Christopher Fogle, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, loved to fish. It was a break from his fast-paced, 25-year career with the Perkins Restaurant chain.
But when Fogle got severe cancer, his relaxing fishing trips, which he sometimes took with his children, ended. It was a devastating blow for the active 45-year-old. But for Todd Bentley, television preacher and self-proclaimed healer, the cancer represented an opportunity to "proclaim the glory of God."...
At the height of what many called a revival, WORLD asked Bentley to talk about the healings, like Fogle's, and asked for a list of people who had been healed at the services. His associates told me Bentley was out of the country and a list could not be produced. But six weeks and more than a dozen requests later, the ministry eventually sent a list of 13 names. Fogle was No. 12 on the list, along with this note: "Healed through the Outpouring and is back to fishing."
That was on Aug. 8, 2008. There was just one problem. Two weeks earlier, on July 22, Christopher A. Fogle—according to his obituary in the Keokuk (Iowa) Daily Gate City, "left this life . . . after a courageous battle with cancer."
A review of the list nearly one year later reveals that Fogle is not the only person "healed" who is now dead. When I called Phyllis Mills, of Trinity, N.C., on April 22, to hear the testimony of her healing, a polite family member said, "Phyllis passed away a few days ago. In fact, we're on our way to her funeral now."
Mills, 66 at the time of her death, had lung cancer and was undergoing aggressive treatments when she was, according to the list, "healed at the revival." Mills "was taking radiation, but was sent home," according to notes on Bentley's list, with "no trace of cancer in her body."
Those of you who've been looking for Jesus and haven't found him...we have great news! Jesus has been found hiding inside of a Kit Kat Bar.
This photo is creepy on a few levels.
For starters, thinking of Jesus as your 'boyfriend' is not what it means to have a "personal relationship with Jesus".
Secondly, the person modeling this sweatshirt is a DUDE!!
Emergent rocks star, and leader of the Mars Hill Cohort in Grand Rapids, Michigan has weighed in on the issue of nuclear weapons.
Said Bell:
"Nuclear weapons are a direct affront to God's dream of shalom for the world. Life is beautiful, and nuclear weapons are ugly."
The Pentagon responded to Bell's statement by conducting a focus group and inviting a group of post-modern poets, artists and fiction writers to give their input for making the U.S. nuclear arsenal more beautiful and shalom-like. The solution that the Pentagon has decided to implement as a result of this focus group is the repainting of all of the United States' nuclear missiles from white and camouflage to hot pink, in honor of Rob Bell's book Sex God. The military will also emblazon the word "Shalom" along the sides of each missile in big blue friendly letters.
Said one Pentagon spokesman, "The last thing the United States Military wants to do is be an obstruction to God's dream of shalom for the world."

Those who identify themselves as "spiritual but not religious" have a new home.
SBNR.org was launched this month in Grand Haven, Mich., for the millions of people in the United States who "desire a deep experience of life ... without the limitations and baggage of doctrine and religion," as stated on the website.
A social media company, SBNR.org was founded by Ian Lawton, an Australian minister who describes himself as independent spiritual teacher.
"I'm happy now to number myself amongst the millions of people around the world who describe ourselves as spiritual but not religious," Lawton tells visitors to the website.
Here is "minister" Ian Lawton's welcome to SBNR
Here is a "message" by Ian Lawton telling people to be open minded about Judas.
Despite all of our deep doctrinal differences with the Roman Catholic Church we give them props for following the scriptures and limiting ordination to men and disciplining rebellious women such as the one featured in the video below.

From the Christian Post: A leading Christian researcher contends that the seven “faith tribes” in America are the key to restoring stability and strength to a nation struggling with a formidable economic crisis in addition to a myriad of other social ills.
These seven faith tribes, or dominant religious groups, are vastly different when it comes to theology and doctrinal positions. However, they share common values that can be utilized to make the nation great again, maintains bestselling author George Barna in his latest book The Seven Faith Tribes.
“Our faith tribes are central to the development and application of people’s worldviews, which in turn produce the values on which we base our daily decisions,” Barna said. “It is on the basis of such values that a nation rises to greatness or plummets to oblivion.”
Based on his analysis of more than 30,000 personal interviews with Americans, Barna identifies seven faith tribes: Casual Christians (66 percent of the adult population); Captive Christians (16 percent); Jews (2 percent); Mormons (2 percent); Pantheists (2 percent); Muslims (0.5 percent); and Skeptics (11 percent).
