Christmas, and the Christ Child, Around the World »

The Anchoress sent me this story a week ago, but I wanted to save it for today. It’s the story of 10 year old Namrata Nayak, a Christian who was attacked and disfigured by Hindus because of her faith. This is her witness:

“Christmas is a time to thank the baby Jesus who saved me from [...]

Why Chik-fil-A is Closed on Sundays and an Ode to Delicious Food »

I admit, I’m in love with everything edible that issues forth from that magnificent eatery knows as Chik-fil-A. It is, quite simply, the finest fast-food restaurant in the known universe and the most scrumptious item on its menu is the sweet tea. No restaurant I have ever patronized gets sweet tea like Chik-fil-A does.
It [...]

I’m Beginning to Think the “Humorless Muslim” Stereotype is True »

Do Muslim leaders have a sense of humor, even a small one? I’m beginning to serious doubt that they do based on this story. A company called Brick Arms makes and sells custom Lego Minifigs. One of their figures is called “White Bandit” and looks a lot like an Islamist terrorist. That’s caused the leader [...]

Merry Winter Holiday, You Superstitious Mind-Slaves »

The outbreak of attacks on the Mormon church since the passage of Proposition 8 has been chilling: envelopes full of suspicious white powder were sent to church headquarters in Salt Lake City; protesters showed up en masse to intimidate Mormon small-business owners [...]

Kathleen Parker, Live from the Crazy Train »

I’m beginning to think that something bad happened to Kathleen Parker about two months ago. Either a random Christian ran up behind her and yelled “boo” which caused her to drop her expensive Starbucks latte or someone told her that Sarah Palin was a hell of a lot hotter than she is.
Whatever happened, it [...]

But What is Their Position on Chickens Coming Home to Roost? Also, Fundamentalist Mob Leader Bush Didn’t Go to Church? »

I wish the new President well in his search.

The United Church of Christ (UCC) invited President-elect Barack Obama to join a local congregation near the White House, anticipating the first family’s desire to worship in public despite risks to their image and safety.
The church, which is the same denomination that Obama and his family attended [...]

Biden: I’m Going to Raise Your Taxes Because My Church Told Me To »

How quickly would the MSM have jumped on this statement had Sarah Palin made it?

“Catholic social doctrine as I was taught it is, you take care of people who need the help the most,” he said. “Now it’d be different if you could make the case to me that by giving this tax cut to [...]
