Marriage according to the Bible

Tuesday, May 15, 2012

from Unicorn Booty Personally, I believe that Jesus wouldn’t care one way or another about same-sex marriage, and that some people are just using the Bible to support their own homophobia and sexism. Which is pretty darn unchristian-like.

The Mormon Questions

Only Jon Stewart could get away with asking these questions:

What Moral Decline?

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

Are you getting tired of all the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth from the religious right about the moral decline of America? Rick Santorum claims that “Satan has his sights on the United States of America”. Newt Gingrich says “A country that has been now since 1963 relentlessly in the courts driving God [...]

Religion is Big Business

Thursday, February 16, 2012

© Brian McFadden I’m definitely not anti-religion, but it seems crazy to me that we give huge (as much as 100%) tax breaks to churches to run normal businesses, and they even get to make profits. Doesn’t that violate the establishment clause since it allows the government to decide what is a religion, and then [...]

Selective Religion

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Republicans have been accusing Obama of waging war on the Catholic Church, if not on religion in general, because he won’t let the church have its way on issues like birth control. However, the same politicians who are attacking Obama have voted against the Catholic Church in a number of other (even bigger) policy issues. [...]

Slip Up

Saturday, February 11, 2012

© Adam Zyglis The whole bruhaha about birth control was just a political stunt. Twenty eight states already require the Catholic Church to cover birth control in their insurance policies, and 97% of Catholic women have used birth control at sometime in their life.

Religious Freedom?

Friday, February 10, 2012

Since when does religious freedom equal the freedom for religions to control the lives of people, even people who don’t believe in their religion? Religious freedom is the freedom for people (not corporations as people, not churches as people, but real people) to practice whatever religion they please, without interference from the government. So how [...]

Bah, Humbug

Monday, December 26, 2011

I personally have nothing against Christmas, but I love a good rant. And when Christopher Hitchens passed away recently, the world lost a ranter par excellence. I’m going to miss him. So here is a reprint of a famous Hitchens anti-Christmas rant, first published in Salon in 2005. Bah, Humbug The horrors of December in [...]

Fox News Whines about the War on Christmas

Saturday, December 24, 2011

Ironically, Rachel Maddow is shocked about Obama’s Christmas Card. But that’s ok, Fox News and Sarah Palin are on the job pointing out this latest blatant attack on Christmas. How dare Obama!? Personally, I can’t decide if this is merely shoddy reporting on the part of Fox News, or if they are going to attack [...]

God’s Away On Business

Thursday, November 10, 2011

Something is obviously wrong in the God department. Cain, Bachmann, Perry and Santorum all believe God has called on them to run. Apparently, God couldn’t make up his mind after eschewing Gingrich and Paul. I don’t think God even knows Huntsman is running and he figures Romney doesn’t need his help since Mitt is already richer [...]

Occam’s Razor

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

[Written by Fred Wickham, reposted from Bullseye Rooster] My debate plan. I can share this because I know no Republican candidates, nor their staffs, will be reading my blog. I have made it unavailable to them. Here’s the plan — and the debate’s sponsors have taken me up on it. So be ready for fireworks [...]

Just what we need … another Texas governor as president?

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

© Jim Morin Of course, there are differences between Bush and Perry. For example, Bush mostly pretended to be a fundamentalist Christian, while Perry is a full tilt Dominionist, who believes that Christians have a God-mandated right and duty to rule all earthly institutions according to God’s law. UPDATE: Jon Stewart on Rick Perry (including [...]

Having Trouble Feeling the Love

Saturday, August 6, 2011

Today, Texas governor (and all but declared presidential candidate) Rick Perry is holding his big prayer festival in Houston. People for the American Way created a video mashing up Perry’s folksy invitation to the event, intercut with video of the radical evangelical christians that he invited: Perry’s friendly demeanor in the video is ironic compared [...]

If you rejoice in revenge, torture and war … you’re not a Christian

Monday, May 16, 2011

Bill Maher is on a roll this week. It is interesting that right after Maher’s recent brilliant monologue praising Obama, he now equally brilliantly points out the hypocrisy of something Obama recently said. Both are right on. UPDATE: Yet more great Bill Maher, this time being interviewed on Hardball. He’s as good answering random questions [...]
