One Voice: Against Extremism

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

Normally I post a lot of links to stupid crap here on Outchurched, but thanks to DC Sleeps, I have an opportunity to post some true awesomeness:

I’d very much like to find out more about this organization and what they’re accomplishing… it sure looks like education and acceptance. Granted, this is a promotional video, […]

Anti-Anti-Gay Protest

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Many thanks to Brother Zeke for this “Cackle of the Day” (It’s still crackin’ me up):

A lot of the comments on Digg are pretty funny too.

I’m glad that there are folks who are concerned not only with the salvation of human beings, but of the salvation and sanctification of the alphabet too. However, it’s […]

Accuser Still Trying to Milk Haggard

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Mike Jones, the drug-dealing prostitute whose claims about his relationship with Ted Haggard led to Haggard’s resignation, is still doing his damnedest to milk the incident for as much media attention as possible. Via Evangelical Right:

Mike Jones, the man responsible for Pastor Ted Haggard’s resignation was the newest visitor at New Life Church Sunday […]

The “Conversation”

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

I haven’t been online much recently, but the few minutes a day that I have been online, I’ve seen several comments related to “the Conversation” between the church and the body of non-believers.

To quote the bumpersticker/cliche: “It’s unfair to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.”

In order to actually have a conversation both […]

Evidence of Biological Predisposition Found in Gay Sheep

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

From New Scientist:

A study of gay sheep appears to confirm the controversial suggestion that there is a biological basis for sexual preference. The work shows that rams that prefer male sexual partners had small but distinct differences in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, when compared with rams that preferred to mate with ewes. Kay […]

Proving the Non-Existence of God

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

This video (found via Austin Atheist Anonymous) proves the non-existence of God, though any rational person would have to assert that it’s the pro-existence folks’ obligation to prove the existence claim.

If you haven’t read The Guide, then you most certainly should… especially since it contains God’s final message to All Creation.

Benny of the Rings

Friday, January 19th, 2007

This is exactly why I dig Stupid Church People so much… they post stuff like this:

It’d be awesome beyond belief if somebody basically juxtaposed Hinn “slaying in the Spirit” with some footage from Lord of the Rings in the style of the “Green Screen Challenge.”

C’mon… you know it would rule…

One Video to rule them all, […]

McCain Wants a Second Chance

Thursday, January 18th, 2007

Adding further anecdotal evidence to the whole “James Dobson is gay” theory, it appears that Presidential hopeful John McCain would like to fellate get back together with him:

Sen. John McCain said Tuesday he hopes to patch things up with conservative Christian leader James Dobson, who recently said he wouldn’t support the Republican’s presidential bid under […]

More Christian Crap…

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

I figure that most folks who read Outchurched probably have been introduced to Head First, the awesomeness which is Dorsey’s blog. However, since our new friend Austin Atheist Anonymous (sorry bro, it’s too much work to type it your way) has put Outchurched on the Atheist Blogroll, I figure that the few new visitors […]

The Peace Sign is Unpatriotic and Satanic

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

The Peace Sign is Unpatiotic and Satanic, or so a few folks in Colorado seem to believe.

(AP) A homeowners association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan. Some […]
