Apparently Jesus, that ol’ trickster, has been seen on the back of a moth in Texas. Pareidolia aside, some people say it re-affirms their faith when something miraculous and rare like this happens.
Personally, my faith is re-affirmed when I see moths without the face of Jesus on it. I guess we all draw comfort from […]

Everyone’s favorite religious wacko, James Dobson, has pretty much invalidated many of his own moral arguments. And it seems he’s too short-sighted to even realize it.
It seems that Mr. Dobson has taken umbrage with some comments made in a speech by Barack Obama. He went on his radio show and did his best to tear […]

Americans have long been conditioned - resigned, even - to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s pretty much inevitable given our current electoral system. And people are more likely to vote against the greater evil instead of for the lesser evil. Because of this, political analysts often will not only look at favorability […]

Or maybe he’s just working in “mysterious” ways. Let’s see, according to Huckabee, it was God that propelled him to the top in Iowa. And God who gave him a surge in the polls. And by giving him money, supporters were supporting God’s choice.
Except Huckabee didn’t win the nomination, and just dropped out. So was […]

That would be staff at St. Mary’s Academy near Topeka, KS. Why, you ask? Well because they’re a “Catholic” school run by the Society of St. Pius X. SSPX is a group that “professes filial devotion” to The Pope, but unfortunately for them, Pope John Paul II excommunicated them in 1988. That’s right - they’re […]

Therefore, school is inherently pointless. At least that seems to be the message in Janesville, Wis. Seems a student “tried to make some sort of point” by ripping up a bible during a classroom presentation, saying it was a “piece of crap.” Well then.
Before I get into this, let’s all understand that, yes, in a […]

Some quick hit thoughts and links for a rainy Tuesday here:
Ron Paul (who I am not fond of) invokes on of my favorite Sinclair Lewis quotes (”When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”) to discuss Mike Huckabee’s latest campaign commercial. The Fox News show host nearly […]

JC celebrated Hanukkah, not Christmas. Jesus was Jewish. These are pretty well known facts right?
Apparently not. Seems some Christians are offended by Jews, Hanukkah, and holiday well wishes. So once again, this is a story that makes me really angry. First off, the horrible ignorance of these Christians. They take a Happy Hanukkah as some […]

My blog, and yeah, I’m pissed. The more I think about the things Romney said, the more angry I get. It’s no surprise he gave his speech at the George H.W. Bush library - the library of a man who once said, “No, I don’t know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should […]

Some actual sense out of the Washington Post editorial page.
Point the first:
“If, as Mr. Romney correctly says, the country’s founders took care not to impose a religious test for any public office, a candidate’s belief, or not, in the divinity of Christ ought to be irrelevant.”
Spot on. I’m posting practically the last half of the […]
