Aiden Enns found himself saying, “Geez” so often he started a magazine to fit it all in. Aiden Enns was managing editor at Adbusters from 2001 to 2003 and founded the Buy Nothing Christmas campaign. “Geez” was his response to Christians believing war in Iraq was part of God’s will, the Bible being packaged as a fashion magazine, and Christians carrying placards saying that gays would burn in hell.

Will Braun, a journalist based in Winnipeg, Vancouver, is the editor.

The first issue of the quarterly, 96-page publication came out at the end of last year. It features articles about the dynamics of conversion - “from getting saved to saving the Earth” - as well as taking a “jab at the right” and offering a lighter look at asceticism. The lead article, ‘Alter Call”, deliberately misspelt I assume, looks at what evangelistic appeals have in common with sales techniques, and look at stories of conversion to alternative ways of living,” he says.
