(Ed. note: This weekly feature is not meant to insult or impugn anyone’s personal beliefs…or lack of same. It’s meant to highlight the hypocrisy inherent in so much of modern Christianity. As Gandhi once said (slightly paraphrased), “It’s not Christianity I fear. It’s Christians I’m afraid of.” Remember, when Fascism comes, it will be wrapped in a flag, endorsed by Fox Noise Channel, and carrying a Bible.)
Bishop Gene Robinson: How Religion Is Killing Our Most Vulnerable Youth. I always thought it was “suffer unto me the little children”, not “make the children suffer”. Not exactly What Jesus Would Do, is it??
Christine O’Donnell Wants To Teach Creationism As ‘An Equal Theory’ to Evolution. Right…except for the tiny little reality that Creationism is faith-based, and neither empirical nor provable. Evolution is science-based, and both empirical AND provable.
Insane Clown Posse: Evangelical Christian False Flag Wingnuts. Ignorance, misogyny, and disrespect for your fellow human beings: It’s What Jesus Would Do.
Megachurch Pastor Reveals Yoga’s Demonic Roots. “Yoga is demonic. If you just sign up for a little yoga class, you’re signing up for a little demon class.” Man, I’m not at all certain I have the words to describe the truly EPIC degree of rampant stupidity behind those words.
The Christian Responsibility To Heal The World Of Divisions. Given the divisions that Christians have created, particularly in this country, this would be a good place to begin.
Eroded by their actions : Voting From Church. Once we begin heading down the road of requiring religious tests for those seeking office…well, can the Religious Right’s dream of Dominionist Theocracy be far behind?
People Of Faith Should Be Grateful For Doubt. Faith becomes a very dangerous thing when it is accepting anything unquestioningly. If you need proof of this, just look at the Religious Right in this country.
AP: Pope takes biggest step to revive Christianity. What? Don’t tell me he resigned?? Yeah, like that’s going to happen….
National Christian Group Pulls Support For Anti-Gay Event, Calls For ‘Tolerance’. How sad is it that I even feel the need to celebrate Christians who actually live their beliefs? This should be the norm. Sadly, it’s anything but.
Growing Number of Americans Say Obama is a Muslim. What the report didn’t reveal is that a growing number of Americans are morons whose ability to cast an intelligent ballot should in serious doubt.
The Family: Secretive Christian Group of Conservative Lawmakers Building a ‘God-Led’ Government. Two words you might want to keep in mind: Dominionist Theocracy. They want it, the Constitution be damned.
After Teen Suicides, Christian Gay Opponents Look Inward. Come on, be honest now. Jesus didn’t teach you to hate and oppress those who think, love, and/or live differently than you.
The top 12 lies of Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council. The true challenge was whittling the list down to an even dozen.
On Health and Rights, What Happened to the Churches? Because, sadly, today’s Christianity is less about caring for others than it is about feeling better about yourself and your own self-interested piety.
