God’s Warriors

On August 22, 2007 By

Last night, CNN debuted part one of “God’s Warriors”, a three-part series looking at people of the three Mosaic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) who feel they are God’s Warriors. Last night was Judaism, tonight (9PM) Islam, and tomorrow (also 9PM) Christianity.

Here’s an example of the “God Warrior” concept found on GodTube.

And a preview from CNN.

The Baldwins are having a rough time of it

On August 10, 2007 By

First it’s comedic genius Alec Baldwin’s ugly divorce proceedings (and it’s ugly fallout with his daughter), now it’s Born-Again Stephen “BioDome” Baldwin’s unfortunate involvement in turning the Iraq War into millennialist proselytizing.

Baldwin became a right-wing, born-again Christian after the 9/11 attacks, and now is the star of Operation Straight Up (OSU), an evangelical entertainment troupe that actively proselytizes among active-duty members of the US military. As an official arm of the Defense Department’s America Supports You program, OSU plans to mail copies of the controversial apocalyptic video game, Left Behind: Eternal Forces to soldiers serving in Iraq. OSU [...]

Death threats to a children’s author

On July 24, 2007 By

Man, I love Christianists. Those guys know how to have a good time.

On criticism of the books from Christians in Britain and the United States:

“I had one letter from a vicar in England — this is the difference — saying would I please not put Christmas trees at Hogwarts as it was clearly a pagan society. Meanwhile, I’m having death threats when I’m on tour in America.”

That’s JK Rowling, Harry Potter author. That’s right – she gets death threats here in America. I wonder who else might issue death threats to authors they don’t like?

HA! Take that you dang heathens!

On June 21, 2007 By

You will love this one. That headline is an actual quote from an Odessa, Texas school official crowing in an email about using curriculum which clearly violates the First Amendment. Shannon Baker, the ECISD director of curriculum and instruction sent out an email after a 4-2 vote approving the curriculum:

YES, WE ARE USING NCBCPS : ) : ) : ) ! HA! Take that you dang heathens!

Now, let’s just put aside the utter irony of that statement. No, scratch that. I love irony. Shannon is calling those who would protect education and teach science heathens, while defending [...]

It’s not “our” government; it’s Dubya’s government:

“They can have their votes of no-confidence but it’s not going to make the determination about who serves in my government,” Mr. Bush said.

Wall of Separation

On June 12, 2007 By

PBS, unfortunately, appears to be spreading fundie propaganda. Specifically, a documentary called Wall of Separation aired a few days ago, and the film takes the historically incorrect view that the US was founded as an explicitly Christian nation.

?The Wall of Separation is a metaphor deeply embedded in the American consciousness,? the company observes. ?Most of us take for granted the idea that politics and religion should not be intermixed because of the heritage of The First Amendment in our understanding of freedom of religion. The No Establishment Clause has protected us from the entanglement of religion with [...]

Ken Blackwell is a lying sack of shit

On June 7, 2007 By

This morning, RABid is pimping Ken Blackwell’s latest column on TownHall. The entire column is a fabrication – a lie – and plainly claims a bill does something it explicitly does not. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

Blackwell says:

A bill making it illegal for people of various faiths to freely hold and profess their respective religion’s teaching on sexual morality is working its way through Congress.

The bill says:

Nothing in this Act, or the amendments made by this Act, shall be construed to prohibit any expressive conduct protected from legal prohibition by, or [...]

Jesus, Mary & Joseph!

On June 6, 2007 By

This is INSANE.

Feminism is a minority social movement, whose members murder innocent children in order to obtain sexual gratification.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! I absolutely refuse to link to this trash; but I will provide a link to Feministing’s excellent rebuttal. Of course, this asshat’s (aka “Mike Adams”) most offensive comment might not have been the one above – it might be this:

I have come to the firm conclusion that I?ve not been nearly harsh enough in my treatment of feminists. And today I plan to start treating them the way they deserve to be treated.

What exactly [...]

Moscow Police Beat Up Gay Protestors – CovenantNews.com Elated

On June 1, 2007 By

“Russians Know How to Handle ‘Gay’ Parades”

That’s the headline the kooks over at CovenantNews.com ran for the story about the violence at a Gay Pride parade in central Moscow the other day.

The Gulf Times provides a less-homophobic view:

Russian police detain gays as punches and eggs fly

MOSCOW: Russian nationalists shouting ?death to homosexuals? punched and kicked demonstrators calling for the right to hold a Gay Pride parade in central Moscow yesterday while riot police detained dozens of gay protesters.

Two European parliamentarians were among those held as they tried to present a petition asking Moscow mayor [...]

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques

On May 31, 2007 By

The phrase “enhanced interrogation” has been used by the Bush Administration to justify the torture of Iraqi insurgents, often with the claim that since they are not uniformed military, they are not subject to the Geneva Conventions. This is not the first use of this kind of this kind of language to defend this kind of act:

The phrase “Versch?rfte Vernehmung” is German for “enhanced interrogation”. Other translations include “intensified interrogation” or “sharpened interrogation”. It’s a phrase that appears to have been concocted in 1937, to describe a form of torture that would leave no marks, and hence save [...]

Mary Cheney and Lesbian Partner Have Baby: Terrorist Attack Imminent

On May 24, 2007 By

First I want to congratulate Mary and Heather her lesbian partner on the birth of their new son. This is great news. I do want to point out, however, that this puts us all at risk for another 9/11 type attack – at least according to recently deceased Christofascist Jerry Falwell.

Nice photo with the proud new parents…er…um…I mean grandparents. They look very proud. What a burden Republicanism must be for them.
