The Devil's Advocate – Pat Robertson

January 15, 2010September 29, 2018 B. John 201 Views 0 Comments Devil, Haiti, idiocy, idiot, pat roberston, satan

I honestly can think of nothing more vile and hateful than the things that come from the mouth of Pat Robertson. Who can forget his blaming feminism and abortion for the attack on the 9/11, and now, as is so often the case, he’s blaming the victims in Haiti for their own misery. According to Robertson, the reason for the earthquake there, and the poverty of the country is because back during the days of French Colonialism, the Haitians made a pact with Satan to get the French out.

A New Series-Prayers and Meditations

January 3, 2010 B. John 184 Views 0 Comments Church, Palma Ceia United Methodist, PCUMC, prayer, Sunday School

It seems I’m frequently asked to offer the closing prayer for my Sunday School class. I guess some are good enough that I’ve been asked to get them down for possible future publication. This seems to be as good a place as any. So this will be the first in what may become a series.

Because You Can't Have Spousal Abuse Without a Spouse

November 30, 2009September 29, 2018 B. John 175 Views 0 Comments AFA, American Family Association, Divorce, Proposition 8, Rescue Marriage

The fine folks at Rescue Marriage, who faked out the American Family Association with their tongue-in-cheek campaign to ban divorce in California, have really stepped up their game with this ad. And the California Attorney General has titled the measure and certified it for signature gathering. It has been called the 2010 CALIFORNIA MARRIAGE PROTECTION ACT.

Trolling for an Assassination

November 18, 2009September 29, 2018 240 Views 0 Comments Assassination, Bible, Obama, Psalms 109

From time to time I have a discussion of politics with someone at work. He’s very much a conservative Republican. Yesterday our discussion went to how far off the cliff the most extreme elements of theright-wing have gone. He kept insisting there were extremists on the left as well. And now come forth the Psalmists. Apparently they are now printing the phrase, “Psalm 109,” on mouse pads, bumper stickers, and even teddy bears. The Biblical verse Psalm 109: “Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children become fatherless; and his wife become a widow.”

An Explosion of Crazy

November 12, 2009September 29, 2018 348 Views 0 Comments Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, Greek Orthodox, Jasen Bruce, Joshua Basso, Marine Reservist, Priest, Terrorism, Terrorist, Tire Iron

We’ve got crazies coming out of the woodwork. In Tampa we have a guy calling 911 for phone sex, and another guy taking a tire iron to a Greek Orthodox Priest (because we all know how easy it is to mistake them for Arab Terrorists), and a “Christian” group wanting to try to incite people to gay bash so they can become martyrs charged under the revised hate crimes law.

The Conservative Bible – Because Jesus Was Just Too Liberal

October 9, 2009September 29, 2018 263 Views 0 Comments Bible, Conservapedia, Conservative Bible Translation, conservatives, King James

Turns out the Bible is just too progressive in its views for some. So the Conservative Bible Project has been formed to use Wiki technology to create a whole new, and more conservative, translation of the Bible. The group cites a few reasons why the Bible is too progressive: “Lack of precision in the original language … lack of precision in modern language” and “translation bias in converting the original language to the modern one.”

Getting Past The Village Idiot

September 27, 2009September 29, 2018 191 Views 0 Comments evangelical Christians, evangelicals, Frank Schaeffer, Rachel Maddow, ultra-conservatives

Rachael Maddow reports on a survey that says that more than one in three conservatives in New Jersey believe that Obama is the anti-christ. She discusses with Republican operative and former religious right co-founder Frank Schaeffer how we respond to the idiocy. Schaeffer rightly notes that there is a sub-culture within the ultra-conservative evangelical right that is taught from birth to reject fact as a matter of “faith.” These are people who believe the world is only about six billion years old, that humans lived with dinosaurs, and that John F. Kennedy was the anti-christ. He refers to them as a “fifth column of insanity.”

These are interviews with the 60,00 to 70,000 people who turned out for the big Tea Bagger March in Washington. Apparently, you don’t have to really know anything about what you’re protesting. It’s all just bad because it is Obama, and some industry or media flak like Glenn Beck told you to be mad and scared.
