Who Would Jesus Protest?
Want a quick test to see if someone knows the Bible? Ask them if Jesus would be out protesting at Occupy Wall Street (#OWS) today.
Pat Robertson, Cheap Advice Columnist
If I held any regard at all for Pat Robertson before today, I hold none now after he told his vast television audience that people with Alzheimer’s are “kind of dead”. “I know it sounds cruel, but if he’s going to do something, he should divorce her and start all over again, but make sure [...]
The Bias and Bigotry of Bill Keller
On Thursday, outgoing executive editor of the New York Times Bill Keller wrote one of the most proudly ignorant columns I have ever had the misfortune to read on the subject of religion and politics. In it, he strongly intimated that Presidential candidates — Republican Presidential candidates, actually, since he obviously didn’t feel that “God [...]
The Camping Heresy: Why the World Won’t End This Weekend

Robert, when you want to appear smart by offering one of those little quizzes wherein the deluded masses believe the answer is one thing but you, by dint of your superior intellect, know the real answer, you should make every [...]
I Don’t Think the President Has Room in His Life for Another God
I’m not prepared to call this Jake Tapper piece journalism. It reads like a tiny bit of uninspired propaganda, like Tapper felt obliged to write the post and swing a stick desultorily on the President’s behalf. A new poll from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life indicates that the number of Americans who erroneously [...]
