Missed it again
Hey, I just found out I missed another Harold S. Camping Judgment Day yesterday. Or maybe I just got left behind. If you’re here reading this, you must have missed it, too. Or else we both got left behind. Oh well, better luck next time.
Dominionism and the presidency
Dominionism. Ever heard of it? I hadn’t until today, when CNN’s Jack Cafferty did a piece on it. His question was, “How much does it worry you if both Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry have ties to Dominionism?” I didn’t know if I was worried or not; I didn’t know what the heck he was … Continue reading
Predictable consequences
Reportedly as many as 20 U.N. workers were killed today in Afghanistan during a protest turned violent, and at least two of the dead were beheaded. Demonstrators were protesting the March 20 burning of a Koran by controversial Gainesville, Fla., preacher Terry Jones. Jones had threatened to burn Korans last September 11 to mark the … Continue reading
No Koran burning, no mosque at Ground Zero?
Fascinating story breaking right now. The idiot Rev. Terry Jones in Gainesville, Florida, who was determined to conduct a public Koran burning on Saturday, has announced he’s calling it off because, he says, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf in New York agreed to move his “mosque at Ground Zero” to another location. I’m full of conflicting … Continue reading
Today’s oxymoron
Christian militia: As in, “Nine members of a Michigan-based Christian militia group [the Hutaree] have been indicted on sedition and weapons charges in connection with an alleged plot to murder law enforcement officers in hopes of setting off an anti-government uprising.” — New York Times
God and a good heart are no excuse
I’ve had a very negative reaction to those American missionaries in Haiti who picked up Haitian “orphans” and tried to take them across the border into the Dominican Republic. I’ve not kept up on all the details. Instead, I’ve just been hearing bits of the story: the missionaries lacked only a single document to legally … Continue reading
Yet another terrorist failure
The Nigerian terrorist who set off an incendiary device on a Detroit-bound airliner yesterday was instantly subdued by alert passengers and crew. Had he succeeded in bringing down that plane, with some 300 souls on board, we’d have never heard the end of of the infamous Christmas massacre, the great Muslim terrorist victory on one … Continue reading
Scratch Huckabee for 2012
I don’t care for unctuous preacher men. Never have. Sad thing is, they all come across that way to me. Like used care salesmen trying to smile and insinuate their way into your confidence so you’ll buy what they’re selling. Mike Huckabee is one of these types. At least, that’s how he’s come across since … Continue reading
Religion and the Fort Hood tragedy
Last week Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army doctor, went on a shooting rampage and killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas. As the first reports came in, I fought the temptation to jump to any conclusions about a man with a Muslim name. There were many possible explanations, but the most obvious one, … Continue reading
Atheist poster in NY subway! OMG!
MSNBC’s Contessa Whatshername just reported a new poster is appearing in NY subways that — gasp! — promotes atheism! The horror! You could hear the disgust in her voice. Poor thing. She could barely contain herself. What is our world coming to when atheists are allowed to post their evil propaganda right up there with … Continue reading
Group sues to stop Inauguration prayers
I just saw on Fox News that the FFRF (Freedom from Religion Foundation) has filed a lawsuit to stop the prayers at Barack Obama’s January 20 Inaugural. And with a silent cheer, I dug up and read the details and the first few comments that followed. I was all set to launch into another rant … Continue reading
Rick Warren is for the birds
Evangelical Pastor Rick Warren, Barack Obama’s controversial choice to deliver the invocation at the January 20 Inaugural, decided recently to get cute with an ABC reporter. Explaining his politics to ABC news, Warren said, “I’m a pastor, not a politician. People always say, ‘Rick, are you right wing or left wing?’ I say ‘I’m for … Continue reading
‘Christianity’ ala Holick
This message of tolerance, truth, and love comes to you courtesy of Mark Holick, pastor of the Spirit One Christian Center, in Wichita, Kan. That would be in the so-called heartland of America, where our most cherished values and traditions supposedly hold sway. Holick’s sign has been all over the news in the past few … Continue reading
