  • Sunday Sermon

    Today’s sermon, like any good sermon, features the Word of God. To follow along, visit Bible Gateway or The Good Book itself (80% of households have one, so chances are you do and, hell, even I do.) Some people interpret The Bible literally; others take it with a grain of salt. Most view it through the lens of their own personalities, upbringing,…

  • Faithfully Ignorant

    The separation of church and state is a funny thing that seems to be misunderstood by a number of people. Let’s pick one almost at random: Pastor Jeff Carroll of the Cedar Grove Methodist Church in Alabama. He seems to think that the government should not be allowed to impose itself on his organization in any manner, including little details…

  • Sunday Night’s Sleepy Sermon

    I was trying to figure out what I wanted to write about tonight when I came across this article from unintentionally hilarious Christian news service Agape Press (“You’ll be agape at our ignorance!”) The article talks about the ACLU’s lawsuit against a West Virginia school that has a portrait of Jay-sus watching over students with His warm, friendly, righteously vengeful…

  • Sunday Night Follow-Up

When last we discussed this, Pat had just come out with his ludicrous claim that he leg pressed 2,000 lbs. Skepchick readers were on the case with observations like: phiend said, May 29, 2006 at 1:10 am If you watch the video you…

  • Finding the right cult for you.

    You’ve heard of this “science” thing, with its “method” and “rigorous peer review” processes and whatnot. It all sounds pretty convincing. But what about your spiritual needs? Will “science” help you achieve your dream of immortality? Specifically, an immortal life that includes sexy babes and all the pie you can eat without getting fat? Maybe eventually, but as for right…

  • 06.06.06

    Wheeee! Today, as many of you know, is June 6, 2006. We currently abide by the 12-month calendar, arbitrarily numbering each month beginning in January. This makes June month number six. We also sometimes abbreviate the year by the last two digits, though we don’t really do it all that often any more, since we learned that could present some…

  • Rebecca infiltrates enemy territory.

    While preparing for tonight’s religious rant, I sorted through a lot of recent news like this article sent to me by reader David about a woman getting struck by lightning while praying — always sad/amusing. A few other people sent me things that I want to use a whole blog entry to tackle. Unfortunately, they’re getting bumped because there is…
