Rick Warren As Invocation Speaker
A-list blogger acknowledge that Barack Obama is Time's Person of the Year, and then imposes on him Wanker of the Day. Why? Because of Obama's decision to have Rick "A Purpose Driven Life" Warren give the inaugural invocation. In fact many, particularly in the gay and lesbian community, are NOT happy about the selection of Warren. For example: This selection … Read More
Oogedy-Boogedy: Part Deux
Columnist Kathleen Parker, a longtime GOP supporter, revises and extends her "oogedy-boogedy" remarks from a controversial column last month, in which she wrote: To be more specific, the evangelical, right-wing, oogedy-boogedy branch of the GOP is what ails the erstwhile conservative party and will continue to afflict and marginalize its constituents if reckoning doesn't soon cometh. Today, she acknowledge addresses … Read More
Having Sex For God
The New York Times is writing about this, so it's — you know — serious. The story is about the Rev. Ed Young – author, a television host and the pastor of the evangelical Fellowship Church. On the November 16 service, he urged the married couples in his congregation to have sex once a day. As Young sees it, "congregational copulation" brings people … Read More
Vatican Forgives John Lennon
Nice, if not a little late. But more importantly, I don't think he said anything which requires forgiving. When Lennon said that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus, Lennon wasn't, as the Vatican claimed this weekend, "boasting". He was just stating a "fact" — perhaps an arguable one at the time — but certainly a supportable fact, to wit, the Beatles were … Read More
Obama Skips Church
That's the headline at Politco. Look, can you blame him? The president-elect had to leave his former church because some people didn't like that his pastor was an angry black man. I'm sure it was in the news. Besides, I'm sure he's busy with his Muslim socialist cabal.
Prop 8 To Be Reviewed By CA Supreme Court… And The Lord Weighs In
No, really. He did. The Lord submitted a 40 page amicus brief (PDF) speaking through one of his servents, I guess. My favorite section: After a night full of dreams, before dawn on November 11, 2008, before I woke up in the morning, the Almighty Eternal Creator ordered me, saying "You explain to them the consequences that follow each and … Read More
The Password For Today Is “Oogedy-boogedy”
Lot of fallout from the Kathleen Parker article yesterday, which I wrote about here. Especially this part: To be more specific, the evangelical, right-wing, oogedy-boogedy branch of the GOP is what ails the erstwhile conservative party and will continue to afflict and marginalize its constituents if reckoning doesn't soon cometh. While unsure about what it means, many on the right … Read More
We’re All Sinners
A church marquee tells us why: I like this: CNN's Rick Sanchez reported on a church marquee that reads "America we have a Muslim president. This is a sin against the Lord." Mark Holick is pastor of The Spirit One Christian Center in Wichita, Kansas where the sign is being displayed. Holick told KSNW, "The main point of the marquee … Read More
The Mormon Church Responds
A press release from the Mormon Church on Friday reads: "People of faith have been intimidated for simply exercising their democratic rights… These are not actions that are worthy of the democratic ideals of our nation. The end of a free and fair election should not be the beginning of a hostile response in America." They're quite right that they, … Read More
The Christmas Police Have Their Updated Rap Sheet
Actually, its just Jerry Falwell's Liberty Counsel and their annual Naughty and Nice List (PDF format). It used to be called the "Friend Or Foe" list a couple of years ago. "Naughty" stores are those that use the word "Holiday" in their ads. "Nice" stores, on the other hand, are brave enough to actually use the word "Christmas." For example, Costco, … Read More
Space Is Really Really Big
Space is in the news lately, because of the release of the first photographs of another planetary system. We've been aware of other planets outside the Solar system for quite some time, but we only know about them because we are able to see their effects (kind of like looking at the wave of a speedboat traveling on the water … Read More
How God Wants You To Vote
I really didn't think the Bible touched very much on American politics, but apparently I was wrong. The Reverend Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK), a 15-year missionary to elected and appointed officials on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, and chairman of the Committee on Church and Society for the Evangelical Church Alliance, America's oldest association of Evangelical ministers, missionaries, institutional chaplains and … Read More
Come Again?
“This vote on whether we stop the gay-marriage juggernaut in California is Armageddon,” said Charles W. Colson, the founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries and an eminent evangelical voice, speaking to pastors in a video promoting Proposition 8. “We lose this, we are going to lose in a lot of other ways, including freedom of religion.” Source Can someone tell me … Read More
As Roger Ebert Gone Off The Deep End?
People are wondering what the hell yesterday’s Roger Ebert column was all about. Entitled "Creationism: Your questions answered", it began this way… Questions and answers on Creationism, which should be discussed in schools as an alternative to the theory of evolution: Q. When was the earth created? A. Archbishop James Usher, working out a chronology from the Bible, calculated in … Read More
