Why Erik is a better Christian than Allen


  • All are welcome in Erik's world. I don't care who or what you are, where you've been, what you've done. I accept everyone. All sins are forgiven. You can't come for sleepovers if you are an axe-murderer or something, but other than that, all are welcome. Allen makes his living by the sword of judgment. He and his Catholic brethren are apologists for Moloch, the heavy judger of men, but as for me, I'm just a poor sinner. You are welcome here.

  • Speaking of sin- how is Allen an expert on sin when he lives such a squeaky clean lifestyle? Now ME, I'm an expert. I'm a sinner. I've done (or contemplated doing) damn near everything. "Sin boldly," said Martin Luther. Allen and his pious brethren have forgotten our sinfulness is what makes us human. One can not be saved unless one is a sinner. St. Paul was wrong: continue in sin that grace may abound.
  • I don't need anything from you. Radio Allen needs sponsors in the same way as Preacher Allen needed converts. But Preacher Erik asks nothing from you. I'm not selling anything. I don't need the mega-faithful or seedy sponsors. It's just you and me, kids.

  • I say what I want: fuck the Sanhedrin. Allen is beholden to advertisers, to his ignorant Christian listeners, and even to the Roman Catholic Church. The beliefs he has to swear to as part of his faith are a litany of absurdities and contradictions. Example: if you use birth control, you will go to hell; if you are not Catholic, you will go to hell; if you die and have not had a priest forgive your sins, you will go to hell. These are REAL beliefs that he HAS to hold or the church will kick him out. Don't you think it influences what he says on the radio? Of course it does. He can only say what is allowed. Meanwhile I can say anything that I find to be true. Or just worth saying. Watch: Hey Pope Benedict, go fuck yourself, you scary piece of shit.

  • I offer holy communion to EVERYONE right now. Just go outside and look at the sky. Or look in the mirror. Or sit down somewhere quiet and think about life and death.

  • I offer salvation to all. Here is what you must do: Be born, live, suffer, break the rules, drink, dance, heal, hang out with whores, tell the religious authorities to go to hell, suffer, die to what you were yesterday, go to hell, be broken open, resurrect, say blessings. Find your father.

I hadn't seen a post from you in a while. Glad to see you are still there.

Obviously I disagree with some of your sentiments, but I like the part about remembering we are all sinners part.

I agree with you. I heard the show for the first time tonight and found him to be a very judgmental person in the way he spoke about the lady in California who had all those kids. Obviously Allen thinks that since he is perfect he has the right to judge others.

He is so different than the loving God who says judge not or you will be judged.
He is just such a bad example for Christians.

Religion exploits natural spirituality to support the goals of national power.It is too coincidental that religions and empires teach the same things.Power starts with God then moves to the King or President so respect authority.Pay taxes and tithe,pledge and say grace.Any nation can be conquered so never rest because the end times are close.Talk radio constantly predicts the end of the world from the enemy.Faith is a gateway drug leading to all sorts of trouble.

it's always been about power. Always tension between the kings and the priests.

Mike- he lives by the sword of judgment.

It's sad that you really waste this much time hating on Allen Hunt. He's a good man- actually, a great man. Obviously you have no friends and no life, because you're constantly criticizing a pastor- for crying out loud. Allen is just trying to spread God's message in a unique way.
In fact, you "live by the sword of judgment" due to the fact that you are constantly judging Mr. Hunt. Have fun on judgment day, friend. Get a life.
