I love this comment from the YouTube page:

That’s almost as funny as all the Christians I saw lined up to buy Gold Cows the day after Thanksgiving…

It appears that Pat Robertson believes that there are a few people who don’t think he’s a moron so he appeared in this video clip to help set those poor lost souls straight.

Wednesday’s “700 Club” featured a question about the Christian view of yoga. A concerned viewer asked, “Does it really have its origins in […]

My friend’s Facebook status gives a clear picture of American Christianity:

[I am] soooo tired of Xians being against everything that doesn’t really matter anyway. Go DO something! Go be FOR something! Be positive!

Upon reflection, I thought it might be helpful to give Would-Be-Christians (Keyword: Seekers) a handy guide to how to be a True Spiritual […]

This story about a teacher being arrested because she allowed her young students to name a teddy bear is outrageous by “Western standards” but seems very “normal” in terms of the way things go in an area ruled by religion.

A majority of these “Creation Museum” LOLCATZ-style images are quite brilliant.

Education is of primary importance in human life. If you can’t read or count then you’re basically unable to do anything beyond menial labor (nothin’ wrong with menial labor… it’s honest work). If you have no understanding of history, you’re doomed to repeat it.

The American public education system has gone to hell in […]

From Fox News (h/t Dirty Devil):

It’s non-news that the Baptist State Convention is a club for dicks and assholes (who do not come into contact with each other), but here’s the story anyhow:

Baptist Convention Expels North Carolina Church for Welcoming Gays GREENSBORO, N.C. — Delegates to the Baptist State Convention have voted overwhelmingly to expel […]

I’d totally watch this show tomorrow (Tues.) if I had cable: Judgment Day: Intelligent Design On Trial.

Of course, though, the entire Intelligent Design issue can be summarized in two sentences:

The only thing that remotely resembles intelligence in the Intelligent Design movement is the adoption of vocabulary that makes one stop to consider that repackaged Creationism […]
