Glass Houses

The citizens of Switzerland just voted to bar the erection of minarets in their country. The Muslim world is in a bit of an uproar about it. I’ll grant you it’s a trifle xenophobic. Well, more than a trifle. Still, it’s hard to see how the Muslims can complain, when there are Muslim countries that […]

God under attack in Enfield

An obviously communistic, fascist, socialist (and, by way of a bonus-godless) organization has invaded our fair state to try to impose its will on our citizenry. I speak of the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, an organization whose very name tells you all you need to know about its pernicious objectives. […]

Drawing lines

The Catholic Church would have us believe that it simply cannot support any health care bill that might result in a single person getting an abortion, no matter how removed the cause might be from the effect. It’s a matter of principle, don’t you see. Just as millions of Africans must die for lack of […]

Sunday School

Via Pharyngula. A debate on the BBC, the motion being: The Catholic Church is a force for good in the world. You can watch it here. It’s long, consisting of 5 you tube videos which, at least when viewed in full screen, will play one after the other. The fascinating thing about this is that […]

Sunday Sermon-All Hail George Orwell, the true prophet

The good folks at Conservapedia (can’t won’t find a link for some reason, maybe it’s my liberal bias) have launched an effort to purge the Bible of its liberal bias, a bias injected, so to speak, by years of faulty translations by liberals like the guys working for King James. This is a good thing, […]

The Power of Prayer

I’ve been feeling rather strange lately. The day before yesterday, Glenn Beck started making sense to me. I’ve found myself growing intolerant of certain types of people, mainly blacks, browns, yellows, gays, Jews, Arabs, Hindus, Buddhists, Rastafarians, Pastafaraians and vegetarians. I’m having trouble seeing why anyone but me should get health care. Public education has […]

The rewards of faith

I had my doubts about the authenticity of this story, but I considered it too funny not to pass along: A devout Catholic who popped into church to thank God for a his rescue from a lift was crushed to death by a 860lb stone altar. Police spokesman Roman Hahslinger explained that Gunther Link, 45, […]

Weird Constitutional Theories

Think Progress reports on a Missouri School District that forced its marching band to return T-shirts it ordered. The T-Shirt’s design is depicted below. The reason? Assistant superintendent Brad Pollitt explained that the t-shirts were banned because they were imposing on religious views: Though the shirts don’t violate the school’s dress code, Pollitt noted that […]

The Church calls on Scalia to redress an injustice

The Boston Globe reports that the Bridgeport Roman Catholic Diocese is trying to keep the public from seeing internal documents bearing on the decisions made by the present Cardinal of New York relating to the assignment and re-assignment of child molesting priests: A Roman Catholic diocese in Connecticut has invoked the First Amendment’s separation of […]

Take the Oath

Entirely optional of course, this being a secular humanist sort of thing.
