Go Behind the Scenes of Epic Christian Satire Site The Babylon Bee
The Babylon Bee continues to make a splash with its comical take on Christian culture, but unlike other satire sites, the Bee has a deeper purpose than simply making its readers laugh: the site aims to make Christians think as well.
