Uncle Pat’s off his medication again and he has some advice for someone with a friend who owns a statue of Buddha: Destroy it!
Separation of Church and State? Not if Evangelicals Get Their Way
As America continues its dangerous and advancing flirtation with theocracy, some of us are wondering just how long this country has until a theocratic state becomes official, becomes a reality, because more and more, the evangelical right is flexing their muscle in shoving their religion down our throats, and they’re succeeding. I’m not saying Christians don’t have a right to practice their religion in this country – they do – and so does every other person who holds different spiritual beliefs…
Religion and the Pro-Choice Tradition: A History Lesson for Bill Donohue
The Catholic League’s Bill Donohue says he doubts whether HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is a Catholic because she supports a woman’s right to choose an abortion, which – he says – is considered by the Catholic Church to be “intrinsically evil.” If you get your theology, history or impression of Catholics, Catholicism or Christianity from the loudmouths you see on TV (like Donohue), you might think he has a point. But you and he would both be wrong.
Fox News Contributor: ‘Evil is Coming Through the Woman’
What you’re about to watch is perhaps the purest, most unabashed declaration of right-wing hatred toward women to date, which has been growing exponentially over the last couple of years, thanks to the anti-women party known as the Republican Party and their women-hating evangelical base. Most evangelicals will tap dance around the issue of women’s rights, trying to use clever semantics to hide their hatred of women – this dude does not.
Pastor Issues ‘Apology,’ Says ‘Effeminate Behavior is Ungodly’
Sean Harris, the revolting “pastor” of the Berean Baptist Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina, issued what I suppose was an “apology” on Tuesday, after his despicable rant against children…
Paul Ryan, Badass Catholic-At-Large
It’s amazing how the GOP uses religion to further it’s twisted agenda. In an election cycle, it’s using both sides of the coin. The GOP is generally intertwined with Fundamentalist Christians. This time, they’re trying (rather unsuccessfully) to align themselves with the Catholics.
Queen of Fear: Cindy Jacobs Warns of Health Care Microchips (VIDEO)
According to Cindy, the government will require an RFID microchip be implanted in your finger in order to get any kind of health care. Now, we all know the Christian significance of the RFID chip, right? Well, in case you don’t, according to the Christians, the RFID chip is the “mark of the beast” referenced to in Revelations 13:16-18.
Pat Robertson Claims He Watched God Create the Universe (VIDEO)
Ridiculous, right? Not according to his latest statements regarding Intelligent Design versus the Big Bang Theory.
Jon Stewart Acknowledges Catholic League Boycott
Bill Donohue is as happy as a little clam. Why? Because Jon Stewart finally acknowledged the boycott instigated by Donohue and his crummy little band of culture warriors. In a statement released on their website, Donohue said this…
The Evangelical Abstinence Only, Anti-Choice Fail
Check out these jaw-dropping stats from the National Association of Evangelicals, part of the evangelical wing of the Republican Party that is trying to regulate and enslave the collective uteri of America (please excuse the pompous snarkiness to follow)…
The Jesus Budget: A Conservative Miracle (VIDEO)
After Rep. Paul Ryan the Right started using Catholic morality to justify the Ryan budget, political animator Mark Fiore felt a Divine endorsement of GOP economics was in order.
Vatican Cracks Down on ‘Liberal’ Nuns
The suppression of women isn’t just happening here in secular America, it seems to be a spreading phenomenon, with the Catholic Church cracking its whip against the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), a group of over 55,000 US nuns, who apparently have failed in their duty to sufficiently attack things like gay marriage, abortion and ordination of female priests. Not only that, but they did the unthinkable – endorsed President Obama’s health care reform bill.
Pat Robertson to Man: ‘You are the boss’ of your wife over money (VIDEO)
Televangelist Pat Robertson must be hurting financially in the current economy. He takes every opportunity to remind his flock to ignore their own difficulties and to keep giving to God through the 700 Club. In a segment this morning, Robertson told a husband to “man up” and ignore his wife’s concerns over finances and continue tithing.
Church Stages Mock Kidnapping of Teens (VIDEO)
During the “raid,” two armed men barged into the room and dragged the kids from their meeting, going so far as to throw pillowcases over their heads, before shoving them into vans. The entire exercise was meant as an example of what it feels like for Christians in other countries when they are subjected to persecution…because, you know, Christian persecution is so prevalent here in the U.S.
Muslim vs Mormon: Romney and GOP’s Hypocrisy on Religion (VIDEO)
Progressives have braced themselves for one inevitable right-wing attack that will surely be repeated against Barack Obama in the general election: He’s a Muslim and not a Christian. It was a centerpiece to the religious right and Tea Party attacks on then candidate Barack Obama in the 2008 campaign, has surfaced its ugly head often in the past four years, and we’ve seen it in the GOP primary battles this season. But as usual, hypocrisy reigns over all at the GOP, as seen today when Mitt Romney dismissed a young man’s question about the Mormon faith.
