If you've followed The Dissenter for any amount of time, you may remember in 2019 when I wrote that the fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral was not the tragic loss that many claimed it to be. Instead, I argued that it was a fitting symbol of the Roman Catholic Church's...

Last week, I reported that well-known prosperity gospel charlatan, Benny Hinn, had once again "repented" of his false gospel—a publicity stunt he's performed time and time again. And I also pointed out that his latest charade was just another example of a dog...
Over the years, as I've covered Christian news and apologetics, I've seen a lot. I've seen so much that hardly anything surprises me. What was once considered unholy alliances have become the norm as mainstream seemingly "normal" Christian leaders don't think twice...

“Reverend” Caroline Unzaga—ever heard of her? No? Well, that's understandable, given that she's the latest in a long line of clergy more interested in appeasing the ever-ravenous gods of wokeness than actually preaching the gospel, not that she’s qualified to do so....
