Apparently, Christian sects are stealing children all over the place. First it was the Mennonites. Now, it’s the Baptists, some of whom are pictured below. This story is quite possibly more disturbing than the last. A group of Baptists kidnapped children from Haiti — some of whom were separated from their family because of the devastation there, not because their parents had died — in the name of Jesus. Ten U.S. Baptists detained trying to take 33 children out of… Read more
Take a look at this sign: You see the problem with it? Apparently, it teaches kids that gay marriage is great and the “traditional” family structure needs to be broken down (?!?!) And if you don’t see that, then you might be wondering (as I do) why those signs were taken down from schools in Platte County School District 1 in Wheatland, Wyoming: One of the sponsors listed on the banner is the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado. Wheatland… Read more
Today is Taisha McFall’s birthday! (She’s the inventor of this little doohickey.) In lieu of gifts, she’s asking for donations for Women for Women: Women for Women is a non-profit organization that provides women is war-torn lands the opportunity to NOT be raped everyday by soldiers and family members, NOT starve to death because they have no means to support themselves, and NOT have to send their children off to die in war or in slave camps because they don’t… Read more
Comedian Jamie Kilstein was in Chicago the other night at the Lakeshore Theater (which is the best place ever) and had wonderful material about Rick Warren, Ted Haggard, women’s ministries at Saddleback, gay rights, the Bible… and all the other wonderful topics you love to discuss 🙂 I heard him channeling a little Patton Oswalt there for a moment. Anyone else? Also, I think he took about one breath during that entire piece. Gotta love him. (Thanks to Jeff for… Read more
A man in Contra Costa County, California has a problem with the name of local peak Mount Diablo. He’s a Christian (you’re amazed, I know) and he has a suggestion for an alternate name: Mount Reagan. [Arthur] Mijares, a devout Christian, says he believes the word “Diablo” — Spanish for “devil” — is “derogatory and profane,” according to the federal board report. Mijares was unavailable for comment Thursday. In 2005, he attempted to change the name to Mount Reagan, but… Read more
The 14-year-old daughter of Doug Ramsey disappeared from her Pennsylvania home last December. She was helped in her quest by leaders of a Mennonite church — they say the girl just wanted to practice the faith she had been brainwashed into accepting: Three church members were arrested Wednesday for allegedly concealing the girl from her parents and from police after she ran away from home, with plans to ultimately take her to Kentucky. … Ramsey told police that his daughter… Read more
I think the “Fun Facts” are my favorite part of the new video from Betty Bowers (America’s Best Christian). Like the one in the frame below: What else would you expect from the founder of Bringing Integrity To Christian Homemakers? Read more
Rechelle at My Sister’s Farmhouse recently became an atheist and she’s apologizing for the ways she acted all that time she was a Christian: 1. I apologize to all the homosexuals. I am sorry that I believed in a religion that condemns you. I am sorry that for many years I thought that the bible was right in it’s condemnation of homosexuality. I am sorry that when I no longer thought the bible was right about homosexuality being a sin,… Read more
It hurts that much deeper when it happens in your neck of the woods. The mayor of Elmhurst, Illinois, Pete DiCianni, thinks that each City Council meeting should open with a prayer. “We’ve got a lot of parishes in this community that can be represented,” he said. “We’re doing God’s work up here, and we may need (prayer).” DiCianni said leaders of all faiths would be invited. Not only is that bad policy, it highlights how uninformed DiCianni is. When… Read more
