Empty Believism

There’s a term that I use to describe this less-than-salvation doctrine that rules in many churches. The term is EMPTY BELIEVISM. The standard term most commonly used for this is EASY-believism, but some take issue with this term because it could be used to imply that salvation isn’t easy. In fact, that’s one of the snarky arguing points used against Bible believers for using the term, so I won’t use the term at all. I’ll just call it EMPTY believism, because, after all, this damnable religion is most certainly very empty. It’s empty of common sense; it’s often empty of personal concern and compassion; it’s empty of any Bible basis, and it’s empty of Holy Ghost guidance and conviction. Empty believism.
