The Sunday Night Sermon, Now With More Credulity!
I’ve heard from a number of you (Bug Girl, Rav Winston, and a few others) who wished to alert me to the recent news that Pat Robertson can leg press 2,000 pounds. It appears as though a lot of people are skeptical of this claim, considering that the previous world record was about 1300 pounds. Also, Pat Robertson is 76.…

Arockalypse Now
I’m torn. On the one hand, I hold a nearly otherworldly disdain for a lot of pop culture crap, like reality shows, Dan Brown novels, and blogs (. . .). On the other hand, I enjoy seeing fundamentalists get worked into a tizzy. So how am I supposed to feel about the fact that Lordi just won Eurovision? I believe…

Cult Leader Makes the Top Ten
The be-spectacled scum sucker to the right is Warren Jeffs, leader of a breakaway fundamentalist Mormon sect that encourages (demands) polygamy, child molestation, and other fun. Jeffs is running a cult (let’s call it what it is, thanks) that is already tragic and is only destined to get worse. His followers believe that God speaks directly through him. He uses…

Review: “The Star” by Jack Chick
I’m something of a comic book connoisseur. Not the superhero junk, though that can be fun — I’m more into the subtler underground and independent angsty it’s-not-a-comic-it’s-a-graphic-novel crap. Tony Millionaire, Daniel Clowes, James Kochalka, Art Spiegelman, Chris Ware, and of course the venerable Jack Chick. I know I’m not the only one with a lot of respect for Chick. As…

Leader, Revolutionary, Ass Weasel: Peter Akinola
Yesterday, I wrote a bit about the Time 100. I had some time to scan through the rest of the list, including the fascinating category of “Leaders and Revolutionaries,” which is where they throw all the terrorists, politicians, and religious figures. One particularly interesting choice was Archbishop Peter Akinola; interesting not because I don’t think that he should be considered an influential…

The Don takes evolutionists to school.
I have the greatest readers ever. A very special Sunday Night Sermon shout out goes to Robert, a reader of Skepchick who decided that I didn’t have enough assclowns in my life. Robert alerted me to Don Walton, a frontline Creationidiot who spews absurdities at a faster rate than the average world wrestling champion. He’d at least be more entertaining…

The Sunday Night Sermon Returns with 20% More Piss and Vinegar
Take a look at this ass clown. Few reasoned, balanced pieces of writing begin with “Take a look at this ass clown,” and so you’ve probably already guessed that this will not be a reasoned, balanced piece of writing. The above lowlife is named Ernest Angley, and he’s selling lies to poor, desperate, sick people in Africa. Ernie puts on…
