So now that we’ve cleared that up, let us discuss the purpose of this.

For 3 years The Chaser invaded our TV screens and declared war on everything. Since the advent of blogs Moore College students have used said medium to challenge other Moore College Bloggers to a long running theological joust.

The results were markedly different. The Chaser gained millions of fans, got to ride in police cars and eventually retreated to reinvent itself. Moore College Bloggers are viewed by millions less, don’t break the law (Romans 13:1) (although since the charges were dropped i guess The Chaser didn’t break the law either) and provide stimulating discussion for a very small clique of like minded, loud voiced, future would-be convention speakers.

And still you know nothing about The Resolute.

The Resolute is about sarcasm, and about Christianity. Of course there is nothing new about that. Christianity has often been on the sharp end of sarcasm. The difference is that we genuinely love them both.

Sarcasm. Where would we be without sarcasm. Not sure that I need to explain any more, except to say that it’s a great tool for making light of heavy topics, and that we intend to do. Make them light so that they can be readily digested.

Christianity. Where would we be without Christ. No sarcasm there. Really. If you want to know why we believe that Jesus Christ is lord then some recommended reading would be the Bible. You probably have one somewhere, maybe one of those little Gideon ones you were given in high school. Why not read it, that’s why it was written.

Anyways, we plan to make fun of our friends and our not-so-friends in equal measure. We particually enjoy hitting out at anyone in leadership (ie. tall poppy syndrome), unsustainable arguments, anyone who makes a fool of themselves, anyone who can’t make a fool of themselves, attacks on Christianity, news and media outlets, cats, people who fancy themselves as future convention speakers and everyone else.

Really we’re not sure what we’re doing. Maybe exercising humility as we tell everyone what they are doing wrong.

Ah well, you’re reading it.
