Freedom Of Religion? Yeah, Right
Digby posts the latest hypocrisy from the christianists. Never let it be said that the Right misses an opportunity to stir up the hate. Kind of ironic that this crap comes from the don’t blame us, it was a lone wolf crowd.
Glenn Beck, Cult Leader
The leaders of cults tend to be charismatic individuals who brainwash their followers. They do this by isolating them from their friends and family so that the members are dependent on the cult leader for their world view. They also make distinctions between “us” and “them,” with “us” as the good guys and “them” as […]
For Your Amusement – If You Have A Sense Of Humor
This made me laugh. And before someone has a fit, let me say… Yeah, I know I’m burning and I’m A-Okay with that.
Just For Fun
In Brit Hume’s latest attempt to justify his proselytizing, replace the word Christian with Muslim and Jesus Christ with Allah. And my sense of that Tiger is that he needs something that Christianity, especially provides and gives and offers and that is redemption and forgiveness and I was really meaning to say in those comments […]
FOX News Has Reached Televangelist Status
Not that anyone with a brain didn’t see this coming. Via Balloon Juice: Brit Hume had some advice for Tiger Woods during this week’s “Fox News Sunday.” Woods will recover as a golfer, Hume says, but it remains to be seen whether he will recover as a person. “He’s said to be a Buddhist,” Hume […]
Wait… I Thought That Christians Were Under Attack
We get wacky visitors here all the time talking about how Christmas is under fire, or that liberals are trying to take God out of everything… Then this. North Carolina’s constitution is clear: politicians who deny the existence of God are barred from holding office. Opponents of Cecil Bothwell are seizing on that law to […]
Lieberman Literally In Bed With Drug/Insurance Lobby
Geez, you’d think that the Main Stream Media might have discovered that Pious Joe’s equally-pious wife has returned to her roots–as a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical and health care industries with conservative lobbying shop Hill & Knowlton, which also numbers AIG among its clients. She had previously worked for APCO Associates, a lobbying shop that […]
Burning Books For Halloween, Now That’s Scary
Via Raw Story: A Baptist Church near Asheville, N.C., is hosting a “Halloween book burning” to purge the area of “Satan’s” works, which include all non-King James versions of the Bible, popular books by many religious authors and even country music. The local news video is priceless. Now, granted, this church, only has 14 members, […]
Religious Consistency
RSmitty brought this email to my attention, and while I don’t agree with all of it (especially the single mother nonsense) it is a refreshing read. Hmmm… wonder when this letter will be posted at Delaware Politics? Surely, they would embrace this philosophy with open arms.
Don’t Know Much About History
Stories like this make me angry. Is our goal really to become the dumbest country on the planet? Perhaps we should rethink the Texas secession thing… especially given their influence over the textbook market. The Texas Board of Education, which recently approved new science standards that made room for creationist critiques of evolution, is revising […]
It Would Be Like Putting Me In Charge Of The NRA
Meet Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s possible choice to head the state’s Board of education – Cynthia Dunbar. […] In a book published last year, Dunbar argued the country’s founding fathers created “an emphatically Christian government” and that government should be guided by a “biblical litmus test.” She endorses a belief system that requires “any person […]
Put Your Religion Where Your Mouth (And Wallet) Is
As an agnostic, I find the Right’s view of Christianity self-serving and convenient. So let’s play What Would Jesus Do? For specifics, let’s pretend that Jesus sets up shop in Delaware. 1. Where would Jesus live? 2. What school would Jesus teach at? 3. Would Jesus support welfare (You know, caring for the poor)? 4. […]
