 The Door is a godsend October 26, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Christians often need a good thrashing. This magazine does the job. If you can't believe in Xity because of televagelists or the anti-intellectualism in many Xian circles, you'll want this mag arriving at your door. It may help you believe in God again.
I can't believe how funny this magazine is. There are interviews, short stories, and something like "Top Ten Lists" that poke fun of all that is absurd in the Christian world. Lots more, too.
It's too bad The Door is bi-monthly. I wish it arrived every week. Either way, it's nice to see Fundies get the beating they deserve. Thank you, God.

Some of the funniest and truthful things I have ever read. August 6, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have never written an online review before, but The Door is so brilliant I felt compelled. I rarely laugh out loud when I read, but the door is so clever, insightful, and dead-on with the satire I cannot help myself. This is by far the magazine I most look forward to receiving. The reference humor is often so deep I find myself saying "If I knew exactly what they were referring to in that joke I think it would be extremely funny".
I have also been impressed with the sensitivity and respect The Door shows other religions (The Door is clearly christian oriented and unashamed about it). If you have any sense of humor about religion don't miss this magazine.
Religious Satire At Its Best June 30, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I discovered The Door magazine about 15 years ago, and it has provided my family with both jokes worth repeating and conversational centerpieces for all those years. If you are moving to a new church, you may want to give a copy to any potential pastors you are considering. Their reaction can provide insight into their ability to laugh at themselves, an essential component to any good religion. If a potential pastor is offended or insulted, they probably operate a cult rather than a legitimate church. This magazine is a great litmus test for those who take their theology too seriously.One recent article that made us all guffaw concerned the new, apocalyptic "Cleft Behind" series, end-of-the-world fiction targeted at the plumbing industry.
The Timid Shall Inherit Market Share With No Reprisals May 18, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Door delightfully skewers religion and, especially, televangelism (they make great fun of my hero, Bob (speak in tongues chickyboshoto) Tilton). However, you will not see any satire aimed at a certain fundamentalist group who shall remain nameless -- probably because the Door folks don't want any hi-jacked airliners being crashed into their building.
Don't "knock" it, open it! May 8, 2004
In a world where people are tired of the "religions of man", The Door reminds us what it is to follow Christ, The Good Shepherd, rather than those wolves parading in sheep's clothing; That anything that puts man's comfort and prosperity ahead of carrying one's cross is "anti-Christ". Satirically, It pokes fun at the foibles of humanity while calling those in "religious authority" to accountability. (There is a day coming and woe to them Lk 17:1-3) Remember, As one finger points outward, three more point back at self, and cause is given to examine one's own beliefs and actions. Truths hit home and laughter is good for the soul. If you can't laugh at yourself...
