Question for Randall Terry

Randall Terry,
Since you are effectively endorsing murder, if someone kills you will you have reaped what you’ve sown?
Or just maybe, will a fucking crime have been committed?
I disagree with you strongly, but I will never, ever advocate violence against you. That’s a key difference of character between us. And I feel for the [...]

The Problem With Calling Abortion Murder

Let’s say I said administrators at a school were routinely picking out high school students teachers didn’t like, and killing them.  Let’s say in addition, they had the full complicity of our legal system.  Would you be in the streets protesting?  Would you be writing articles or blog posts?  Or would you be in that [...]

GodTube: Sex Before Marriage

The video itself isn’t remarkable.  It compares marrying someone who has had pre-marital sex to getting an order in a restaurant a previous patron has already eaten.  Would that make marital sex like eating the same order over and over again?  While the endless cycle of regurgitation and ingestion hinted at does provide some mirthful [...]

Jesus Christ the Dread Champion

Sarah Palin has been linked to Joel’s Army, an apocalyptic cult preparing to use violence to force Christianity on unbelievers.  The details are over at Orcinus, I’m just going to give you the link.  This is something to be read in its entirety.  Trust me, once you start reading, you won’t stop until you’ve finished.
The [...]

Palin: Itchy, Crazy and Near the Red Button

How close is Governor Palin to the red button?  A heartbeat away.  A John “Older than Penicillin” McCain.
So when she makes a really stupid and bellicose statement towards Russia, we ought to take notice.

My friend Brad sent that to me, and Matt Damon raises a damn good point.  Sarah Palin is [...]

McCain’s Close Connection to his Radical Preachers

When Obama distanced himself, John McCain has closed the distance between himself and theocratic preachers with radical agendas.  Via Elizabeth:

With all of this coverage of Rev. Wright, why is it we never hear about John McCain’s fraternization with the radical preachers John Hagee and Rod Parsley? Hagee made headlines in 2005 for saying that Hurricane [...]

The Christian Resistence and Hot Mermaid Action

Sometimes people are abominably silly:
A Christian group called “The Resistance,” having solved all other God-related problems in the world, has turned its considerable ire toward Starbucks, which recently re-introduced its original logo from 1971 as part of an attempt to …. well, I don’t know what, really. I assume it’s to make people nostalgic when [...]

The Psychological Victims of Fundamentalist Christianity

This is incredibly fucked, but it is a topic of some interest for me, and one I plan on revisiting.  As Amanda notes, this stuff is “fucking frightening”.  Matt Taibi writes in Rolling Stone about his experiences at a three day intensive convert-a-thon.  He starts things off by discussing the contrast between the soon-to-be-converted and [...]

Expelled Intelligence

Following the painful trend of painting right-wing conservative Christianity as persecuted in the face of the oh so evil elitist secular scientists, Expelled is … special.  Overcompensating:
The purpose of this here comic is to warn you in case you’re the kind of person who goes to watch movies on a whim based on the poster, [...]
