Sorry, but I had to say it. It's International Blasphemy Day.
Has-Been Kirk Cameron’s Latest Hijinx
The former Growing Pains star, who has gone full-blown creationist now that the plum roles are no longer coming his way, has teamed up with other anti-evolutionists in what he imagines to be a clever ploy to teach people about how bad evolutionary science is: The ‘Growing Pains’ alum released a video last week announcing that on Nov. 19, he and other … Read More
Not The Strongest Defense
The Vatican addresses the whole clergy-pedophilia thing: The statement, read out by Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Vatican's permanent observer to the UN, defended its record by claiming that "available research" showed that only 1.5%-5% of Catholic clergy were involved in child sex abuse. Oh… "only 1.5% to 5%"? Is that all? Imagine that pedophile statistic being applied to, say, public … Read More
“Hostile Toward Christianity”
Blogger Tom McMahon thinks that the National Park Service is "hostile toward Christianity" because it recommends that its publications use BCE (before common era) instead of BC, and CE (common era) instead of AD. From the editorial style guide of HFC: Since when does adopting neutral non-religious writing style become "hostile toward Christianity"? That's the problem with some of these … Read More
Knickers Twisted
Letter to the Editor recently: Increasingly common My wife and I recently attended a performance of Moonlight and Magnolias at Twin City Stage ("Movie Stage," Sept. 13). What we were hoping for was a wholesome comedy. What we experienced was a profanity-laced production that made frequent use of a variety of obscene language. This is the type of language that … Read More
Oh By The Way…
The Rapture is scheduled for today. You can read the evidence here, but basically it all boils down to this sine wave graph (click to embiggen): I hope you are using your last day wisely…. P.S. Anyone up for some pre-rapture sexual adventures?
Memo To Hollywood
The Texas State Board of Education needs to be made into a situation comedy a la The Office. Just sayin'.

The Man Behind The Jaycee Abduction
As you probably know now, Jaycee Lee Dugard, 29, walked into an Antioch (CA) police station earlier this week, and told authorities she had been kidnapped in 1991 waiting for a school bus in South Lake Tahoe. Authorities have since arrested two suspects for the crime. Here's the blog of the male suspect, Phillip Girrado. His latest entry, from August … Read More
Conservative Kennedy Bashing
I don't want to draw too much attention to the vileness from some conservative quarters on the subject of Ted Kennedy's death – it's rather ugly. But it confounds me that many of these conservatives like to cloak themselves in the Bible and Christian goodness. I mean, I'm not saying that Kennedy was a saint, but if Jesus had a vote in … Read More
A Christian In Atheist Shoes
A Christian student decided to secretly join a group of atheists and agnostics (the student group was called the Secular Student Alliance) as they went on a "field trip" of sorts to the Creation Museum. Would the atheistic group cause a ruckus? Behave disrespectfully? What would it be like to be a Christian and a fly on the wall as … Read More
Watching This Video Will Cause You To Become Dumber
Molly had two friends over. One was Indian (a Hindu), and the other was, in Molly's words, "regular". Sitting at a kitchen table, Molly and her "regular" friend (Rachel) try to convert their Hindu friend (Saraa) to Christianity. Their logic is astoundingly breathtaking in its stupidity, even for girls at that age. For example, Molly points out to her Saraa that she is … Read More
Another Evangelical Perv
USA Today: Tony Alamo, a one-time street preacher who built a multimillion-dollar ministry, was convicted today of taking girls as young as 9 across state lines for sex, the Associated Press reports. Alamo remained silent as the verdict was read. His five victims sat looking forward in the gallery. One, a woman he "married" at age 8, wiped away a … Read More
Scientists Go To Creation Museum: “It’s Rather Scary”
Amusing story in the New York Times: PETERSBURG, Ky. — Tamaki Sato was confused by the dinosaur exhibit. The placards described the various dinosaurs as originating from different geological periods — the stegosaurus from the Upper Jurassic, the heterodontosaurus from the Lower Jurassic, the velociraptor from the Upper Cretaceous — yet in each case, the date of demise was the … Read More
