Religious Satire

Forget what you think you know about the Good Book. The BC Bible is not a sermon—it’s a riotous, irreverent, and razor-sharp deep dive into the most bizarre, brutal, and brilliantly baffling stories in the Bible. Written with wit, bite, and a historian’s curiosity, Robert Ragnar takes you on a chronological journey through scripture with a scalpel in one hand and a shot of whiskey in the other. From talking snakes to cosmic floods, divine tantrums to circumcision revenge plots, Ragnar unpacks the ancient texts with equal parts skepticism, satire, and sincere wonder. Raised in the pews...

The Batshit Crazy Bible isn’t your grandma’s Sunday School companion—unless grandma was into alien gods, divine temper tantrums, and weaponized foreskins. Robert Ragnar, legal eagle turned armchair theologian, has done the unthinkable: read the Bible—every bloody verse of it—cover to cover. And now he’s here to report back, not with sermons or salvation, but with sharp wit, a raised eyebrow, and a healthy dose of historical side-eye. This isn’t about mocking belief—it’s about exposing the bizarre, brutal, and baffling moments buried in the so-called Good Book. From talking...

Because you know it's nonsense, but were never sure why.

Sanity is a relative concept in a universe gone mad. Jaymes Shore’s latest anthology of science fiction, speculative fiction, horror, and satire features thirty-three tales set in our uncertain and rather unpleasant future. They are not for the squeamish or easily offended. Hostile business takeovers become a literal concept in our post-apocalyptic future as employees are drafted into military service for the price war. It’s time to die for your company or face termination. Revitalized seeded clone colonies spread humanity across the stars. A programming error transforms one of these ...

Known to historians as "the First American," Benjamin Franklin is without a doubt the most accessible of America's founding fathers. His writings have inspired millions of Americans, and even now, more than 200 years after his death, his wit and humor still brighten lives all across the world. But what was this great man's view on faith? Was he really a Deist as so many historians have proposed? Was he a humanist like so many of his French friends? Is there any possibility that he could have been a Christian? In this unique volume, Bill Fortenberry has collected everything that Franklin ...

Welcome to the world’s longest-running apocalypse comedy. In End Times My Azz!, author Billy McCue takes readers on a hilariously skeptical deep dive into the greatest failed apocalypses in history. Forget grim sermons and gloomy forecasts—this book turns doomsday into a full-blown stand-up routine. Meet the dreamers, schemers, and “chosen ones” who swore they knew when it would all go down: The Mayans (2012): the calendar ran out—but not humanity. Harold Camping (2011): twice-predicted the Rapture, twice had to reschedule. Ancient Astrologers: the original influencers, just with ...

Everything is all Doug’s fault. The Horn of Destiny is missing from the Seraphim Symphonic practice room and the Apocalypse is set to begin prematurely. He always was a clumsy GA-1 (Guardian Angel First Degree). No wonder he never got promoted. Now the fate of the world rests in the hands of his human client, a mentally unstable trumpet player named Steve who takes all his advice from his pet cat Smokey. Oh, and someone on earth had the bright idea to run the dreaded Horn of Destiny through a 3-D printer and sell copies on eBay. God help us all!

The Complete Mercury Series By Robert Kroese When a wisecracking angel with a checkered past gets put on divine probation, Earth becomes his proving ground—and humanity his unwitting straight man. This complete collection brings together all five books in Robert Kroese’s riotously irreverent Mercury series, a satirical blend of theology, action, and cosmic bureaucracy. Follow Mercury, a fallen (but technically not that fallen) angel with a penchant for bending the rules, as he stumbles through apocalyptic prophecies, celestial politics, and really bad ideas involving flamethrowers. ...

An engrossing and thoughtful contemporary tale that tackles faith, friendship, family, anxiety, and the potential apocalypse from Katie Henry, the acclaimed author of Heretics Anonymous. There are many ways the world could end. A fire. A catastrophic flood. A super eruption that spews lakes...

Welcome to Heaven, Inc., the grossly mismanaged corporation in the sky. For as long as anyone can remember, the founder and CEO (known in some circles as "God") has been phoning it in. Lately, he's been spending most of his time on the golf course. And when he does show up at work, it's not to...

What happens when two decades of rigorous, good-faith arguments fail to change a single mind? For more than twenty years, researcher Brien Norris embarked on an ambitious project in the trenches of real-world interaction—in church basements, at coffee shop debates, and across family dinner tables. He deployed the best tools of logic, science, and historical criticism in conversations with hundreds of committed Evangelicals and Fundamentalists. His goal was simple: to find a definitive method for opening a mind sealed by faith. This book is the result of that exhaustive study. Inside, you ...

Upon the end of days, Lucifer, the Fallen One, that Infernal of Infernals and Murderer of Hope, wonders if his Father will bother to raise another race after Armageddon. After all, he'll only have to tempt them - again - to certain death. Their choice, not his. On God's behalf, Archangel Michael responds. So begins a series of letters between two brothers, at once cordial and combative, about their purpose, their fears, their familial estrangement, and their Father's great folly: the human race.

Pastor Jedidiah Crumblethwaite's faith was Texas-solid—until a twelve-year-old asked why dinosaur bones look 68 million years old if the Earth is only six thousand. Suddenly, the devoted Baptist preacher finds himself googling "radiometric dating debunked" at 3 AM, discovering Christmas trees have pagan roots, and watching his congregation rationalize prayer statistics that match pure chance. When a used-car-dealing deacon hides behind "saved by grace" to justify fraud, when a teenage backslider named Bubba dismantles free will with a chocolate pie analogy, and when an accidental lecture ...

The end is near—and it’s being supervised by the least qualified angel in Heaven. Reality is unraveling. The Eye of Providence, the mysterious power source that holds the universe together, has gone dark—or so it seems. As existence itself begins to fray at the seams, angels vanish, demons scheme, and the world teeters on the edge of destruction. Amidst the chaos, Mercury, a rogue cherub with a flair for sarcasm and a questionable work ethic, is reluctantly pulled back into the cosmic fray. He joins forces with Christine Temetri, a battle-weary journalist, and a cast of immortals, ...

God welcomes you to the new American theocracy. Enjoy your stay. It may not be the paradise you anticipated. Murder, rape, slavery, oppression, genocide, destruction or any other evil can be justified. You just have to know where to look in the Bible. If God wants it, how can it be wrong? Prepare for fourteen stories of religion run amok. These tales will offend strongly religious people. You have been warned. A little faith may comfort many in times of darkness, but not these people. Putting God back into America seems a pretty good idea to the faithful, but what happens when it’s not ...

Jack Holland never meant to become a priest. An Irish teenager with no religion and even less restraint, he sought refuge in a seminary to dodge family pressure—just until he figured things out. But procrastination has a way of rewriting destinies. Years later, Jack finds himself in California, wearing the collar and preaching to the faithful, all while wrestling with shattered vows, unexpected success, and a God who seems more wrathful than forgiving. His journey is equal parts absurd and profound—a spiritual misadventure laced with dark humor, biting satire, and the ache of a man ...

Jesus Inc. – A Divine Comedy/Tragedy of Faith, Power, and the Business of Belief Behind the dazzling lights, powerful sermons, and awe-inspiring worship of Old Rugged Cross Church lies something far more complex—a system. One that lifts people up, but also lets them down. That inspires, but sometimes exploits. That seeks to serve, but struggles with its own soul. Jack thought he was answering the call to ministry. Instead, he stepped into the inner workings of a multimillion-dollar megachurch—where faith meets franchise, leadership is performance art, and success is measured in ...
