The Gospels’ Saboteur

20/06/2011

We are in a war! But this conflict not the war that you think. It is not the familiar culture war over abortion rights, gay rights, evolution/creation and whether or not granny can pack some heat to the Sunday morning church meeting. This war is insidious in that people who are supposed to be “on the same side” are actually doing the … More The Gospels’ Saboteur

Jumping Through Fundamentalist Hoops

“…HELP US JESUS!”

07/01/2011

It didn’t take long in the new year for someone to frustrate me with their toxic mix of religion and politics.  Case in point.  At yesterday’s “Constitutional Reading” during the swearing-in ceremonies, a “birther” (someone who doesn’t believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States, yells out “Except Obama, except Obama!” as Article 2 section 1 … More “…HELP US JESUS!”
