Miss California: Just a Good Wholesome Christian with a Boob Job
Yep, suhprize, suhprize, Miss Holier Than Thou will be an introducer tonight on the Dove Gospel Music Awards show. And, just like that, the Religious Right has a new cause celebre. “She would’ve won if she hadn’t expressed her honest views.” Yes, and Miss Mississippi would’ve won if she hadn’t supported cross-burnings. Granted, there is […]
Pat Buchanan Ends Up Saying The Pope Is Wrong
Talk about contradicting yourself. Buchanan is a mess by the end of this take-down by Lawrence O’Donnell.
Newt Gingrich No Longer a Sinner? Just in Time for 2012?
Praise the Lord! It’s a Miracle! Newt Gingrich’s sins have been magically cleansed from his Heavenly record! How did he do it? He has seen the Light, and given over what passes for his soul to…Catholicism. Seriously. And, (quoting from that leading theologian Gomer Pyle), ‘Suh-prize, Suh-prize’, this conversion just may put him back in […]
A Stray Thought
I think anyone who anxiously awaits The Rapture should not serve in public office since they really don’t have any incentive in making a better future. In fact, it could be in their religious interest to make the future worse. /sorta snark
In God We Trust?
According to a new survey Religious affiliation is on the decline. So many Americans claim no religion at all (15%, up from 8% in 1990), that this category now outranks every other major U.S. religious group except Catholics and Baptists. In a nation that has long been mostly Christian, “the challenge to Christianity … does […]
AOL News Hates Atheists
From that oh-so-illustrious news source, AOL News, comes an article about how “some” African-American Christians are upset at Obama’s inaugural speech reaching out to “non-believers” as well as Hindus, Muslims, etc: By mentioning, for the first time in an inaugural address, the 16.1 percent of Americans who check “no”’ when asked about religion, Obama turned […]
Federal Court Strikes Down Illinois School Prayer “Moment of Silence” Law
Another blow to the school prayer crowd was delivered in federal court yesterday, as the Illinois Silent Reflection and Student Prayer Act was ruled unconstitutional by U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman. The “teacher is required to instruct her pupils, especially in the lower grades, about prayer and its meaning as well as the limitations […]
Crazy Like A Fox
The Huffington Post is reporting that President-Elect Obama has invited New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, who is openly gay, to give the invocation at his inauguration. Hmmm… Robinson and Warren. On stage together. Not on stage together… but linked all the same! Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
As If They Aren’t Dumb Enough
Christian Fundamentalists are now calling on their flock to pull their children out of public schools… since education obviously threatens their ideology. Truth is… this call to pull children out of the public education system has nothing to do with education, and everything to do with indoctrination.

Religion and Politics
Remember the days when one wasn’t supposed to discuss Religion and Politics in polite society? Just like announcing how much you paid for something, it was considered tacky. I sorta miss those days. But, since the 1980s, not only has a person’s spiritual beliefs spilled into every social setting known to man, it has shaped […]
Reverend Dobson travels to the future and finds La Cage Aux Folles
Seriously, this guy is obsessed with homosexuals. So much so he jumped in his time machine and reported back on the State of the Nation. (For those of you brave enough the entire 16 page one man play can be found here.) For those of you with weaker stomachs follow me over the jump for […]
What Will We Do Without Falwell?
I am so confused. Without Jerry Falwell around, how will I know the real reason that Myanmar and China have both been hit with natural disasters this week. It can’t just be random, can it? I need someone to explain.
