This week in Jesus: If Jesus didn't say it, did it even really happen?

Although Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church is famous for picketing funerals because “God hates fags,” for some reason Fox Nation has decided to call them a “left-wing cult.” And did you know that Phelps is a Democrat? In Fox Nation he is…. In a post called, “Bikers Turn Out to Protect Newtown Mourners from Westboro Baptist Church,” Fox Nation captions its photo with, “Bikers Turn Out to Protect Newtown Mourners from Left-Wing Westboro Cult.”…. Later, it describes Phelps by saying, “Conservative bikers turned out yesterday to protect Newtown mourners from Democrat Fred Phelps and his Westboro cult from protesting.”

Fox Calls Westboro Baptist Church A ‘Left-Wing Cult’: Fred Phelps has been, and may still be a Democrat (not that we would claim him). What it has to do with the inhuman theology that he and his merry band of hateful inbreds share is beyond me.

Colorado Faith Leaders Combat Anti-Muslim Ads With ‘Love Thy Neighbor’ Campaign: Isn’t this supposed to be what religion is all about? It’s a sad commentary on the state of religion today that this sort of campaign is even necessary.

Wilson: Guns Are Not the Problem; Lack Of School Prayer is the Problem: If we can’t indoctrinate our children properly and teach them who and how to hate, they’ll just end up gay-marrying one another.

Does the Bible Make Americans More Violent?: Anecdotally, the answer to that question would seem to be a resounding “YES!!” Regardless of the reality, the Bible is used far too often to justify un-Christian acts of violence.

Close Bachmann Ally Bradlee Dean Suggests Sandy Hook was a Government Plot: I’ll suggest that Bradlee Dean is an ignorant, hyper-religious ninny who might be thought merely a fool if he could just keep his mouth shut and his hate to himself. If Dean’s a Christian, I’m David Beckham.

A God-Free Response to Mass Murder: Why does God even have to be part of the equation?

6 Outrageous Incidents of Discrimination Against Nonbelievers: If Christians weren’t discriminating against nonbelievers for their lack of faith, they’d be finding another pretext.

Why Huckabee & Dobson Are Wrong on Newtown: If your God is so cold, heartless, and callous that he would allowed this sort of tragedy to be visited on America in retaliation for [insert alleged indignity against God here], you’re doing it wrong.

Beware: Human-Hating Liberals and Islamic Extremists Seek to Build Shariommunism: We are the Borg. We will assimilate you….

New Reports Reveal Global Persecution of Nonbelievers: Not that fundies will recognize this; they’re too busy trying to present themselves as oppressed and persecuted.

Dobson: Connecticut Shooting was God Allowing ‘Judgment to Fall Upon Us’ for Turning Our Back on Him: And you wonder why I reject modern Christianity?

New Orleans Schools Ban Creationism: Because our taxpayer-funded public schools are NOT churches, that’s why.
