Great Minds Think Alike

Tom Tomorrow agrees with me:

Thanks for Nothing, Lord

I first heard about this story via a tweet that my wife forwarded to me from the inestimable Angry Black Lady. A condescending Wolf Blitzer asks the nice lady from Oklahoma if she thanked the Lord for the fact that she escaped death in the tornado. In fact, he asks her twice. But this hinterland […]

A bullet dodged?

I am not a football fan, and I pay almost zero attention to the sport, even during the height of the season. Yet even I became aware of the threat to the future of our country posed by one Tim Tebow, an insufferable Christian. He was welcome to all the football success in the world […]

 Miracles, redefined

Those of us upon whom a religious upbringing or education was inflicted are well aware that this past Sunday was the celebration of history’s biggest miracle; the revivification of a man who had been tortured to death by crucifixion. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it, why such wonders never happen in this modern age, for […]

Here comes the new pontiff, same as the old pontiff

But of course, we’ll all get fooled again. This is from an article written in January of 2011: Benedict XVI gave us words of great comfort and encouragement in the message he delivered on Christmas Eve. “God anticipates us again and again in unexpected ways,” the pope said. “He does not cease to search for […]

It actually kinda makes a little bit of sense

John Aravosis, at Americablog, does not take kindly to some remarks made by a black African cardinal (a serious pope candidate, apparently): His name is Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana, and he’s one of the top candidates being considered for next Pope. He also has some disturbing theories on race. You see, Cardinal Turkson, who […]

Shocking news from the Vatican (not)

When the news came out your truly opined that someone had something on Benny. Probably to no one’s surprise, turns out I was probably right: A potentially explosive report has linked the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI to the discovery of a network of gay prelates in the Vatican, some of whom – the report […]

Pope Defies God

Some may wonder how the simple act of “resigning” can be a god defying act, but such people don’t understand the religious nuances involved here. Let’s rehearse the facts. The Pope is elected for life. Although the Pope is “elected” by a bunch of pedophile protecting cardinals, they are actually only a conduit for God, […]

Shock from the South

Sometimes, surprising signs of hope from the most unlikely places. The Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) voted in favor of two policy amendments proposed by outgoing president Thomas Robichaux at last night’s December meeting at McDonogh 35 College Preparatory High School. Robichaux’s updates included adding “zero tolerance,” among other discipline actions, to its “bullying, intimidation, […]

Christian love in action

Only religion can make people this cruel: An Irish woman has died after she was denied an abortion, even though she was having a miscarriage, because the medical staff found a fetal heartbeat and so would not intervene. 31-year-old Savita Halappanavar was 17 weeks pregnant when she was admitted to University Hospital Galway on October […]
