God Delusioned: Pastor Lou Engle

“If we’re struggling with a homosexual, same-sex desire, LET THE BIBLE KILL YOU, rather than make it easier for you, and say well, there must be a better scriptural answer to this … Brothers and sisters, let the Bible kill you rather than you twist the scriptures! And in that killing, it will break you [...]

NOM’s Brian Brown ‘gay-panics’ over remote possibility Elena Kagan might someday possibly inflict ‘gay-marriage’

Brian Brown’s hair is apparently on fire today. According to NOM’s normally-perky president: “The stark reality? A vote for Elena Kagan is a vote to force same-sex marriage on the entire nation.” Really? Is there anything the NOMies don’t think is a twisted plot to foist marriage equality on the country? The World Cup perhaps? [...]

Fuck the idea of a Ronald Reagan Day

If this goes through, Californians living with HIV and AIDS and any remaining gays that still give a flying fuck about AIDS and what was done and what was not done at the height of the AIDS crisis should observe the day by burying Reagan’s Simi Valley grave in red ribbons. Reagan Day Bill Advances [...]

God Delusioned: Bob Giuda

“During that period of time, I was asked a question about gay marriage, which, of course, I oppose, because I believe marriage is strictly between a man and a woman. What’s going to happen next? Men and sheep? Women and dogs? “That comment was made in the context of a discussion about institutionalizing marriage … [...]

God Delusioned: The Maine Family Policy Council

“The shining whiteness of the bridal gown, symbolizing purity and the power that purity conveys, has been stained — or smudged, if you will — by pornography, sex before marriage, marital infidelity, divorce, abortion and, now, so-called marriages between people of the same sex. “Like the dirty oil that pours uncontrollably into the waters of [...]

Michelle Bachman and the horrible company she keeps

As that guy Kurtz kept saying over and over at the end of Joseph Conrad’s apocalyptic novella, Heart of Darkness: “The horror! The horror!” The Company That Bachmann Keeps Right Wing Watch Yesterday I wrote about the fact that Rep. Michele Bachmann had signed on to speak at Joseph Farah’s “Take Back America Conferece” with [...]

Christian authors: Kagan is dragging us into the End Times zone

Because Jesus Christ himself said and wrote so much about the superiority of American Law versus International Law, rapture-ready fantasy-fiction authors Tim LaHaye and Craig Parshall are certain that Elena Kagan’s ascension to the US Supreme Court is a sure sign that we’ve entered the End Times — another dimension, a dimension of sound, a [...]

The Quotable Jeremy Hooper

“It’s absurd, really. What should be a high-minded, important debate about CIVIL law will be, at least temporarily, turned into a wholly faith-based stage for unabashedly anti-progressive, anti-LGBT views. And a slot that could go to a reasoned voice of opposition is instead relinquished to the far-right agenda.” — Jeremy Hooper, veteran blogger at Good [...]

Christian chaplain and crack team to investigate little girls’ room goings-on

Oh! My! Dog! Corporal Klinger … um … I mean Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt — the dude who put the effed-up in effed-up fundie bigot and who also happens to be the fine, upstanding Christian who’s been preying for the deaths of his enemies, including Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation and Reverend Barry [...]

A PSA because abstinence (from driving) saves American lives

O lard. I almost hurt myself laughing when I read this over at the very, very, extraordinarily clever Why Won’t God Heal Amputees? The number one killer of young Americans is the automobile. However, the Secular Humanists dominating our schools refuse to acknowledge that the only safe driving is abstinence from driving. Instead, they advocate [...]

Barcelona clinic under investigation for ‘gay cure’ claim

A clinic in Barcelona is being investigated for peddling a cure for being of the gay persuasion. However, as the Catalan regional Health Minister Marina Geli pointed out, there’s no evidence that being gay is a disease. In fact Spain is one of several countries that affords its gay citizens full civil rights, including marriage. [...]

The Quotable Sam Harris

“Imagine a world in which generations of human beings come to believe that certain films were made by God or that specific software was coded by him. Imagine a future in which millions of our descendants murder each other over rival interpretations of Star Wars or Windows 98. Could anything — anything — be more [...]

SCOTUS: Anti-gay, Christian students can’t violate anti-discrimination policy and expect campus perks

The United States Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, has decided that the Christian Legal Society (CLS) — the fundie Christian law students — of Hastings College (find earlier posts here, here, here and here and in related cases here) do not have a right to expect recognition, student funding and the use of school [...]

Another atheist billboard defaced

The “One Nation Indivisible” billboard on Billy Graham Parkway has been vandalized (photo: via The Southern Atheist Gentleman) It appears intolerant theofascism has once again reared its sad little head. A billboard, sponsored by the North Carolina Secular Association and about which I wrote earlier, has been defaced by vandals. The billboard raised the ire [...]

Pat Condell: The Pope needs a miracle

The Pope needs a miracle (video: patcondell at YouTube) Atheist, writer, and comedian Pat Condell deftly thrashes the Roman Catholic Church’s ultra-conservative Vatican hierarchy, their idiotic pronouncements and their seemingly endless scandals. Find all of Pat Condell’s videos at his YouTube channel. Get the bound transcripts in Pat Condell – Godless and Free, at the [...]
