A pissed-off Southern pastor explains it all for you.

Right here. And thanks, Cynical, for the link. I found these particularly enlightening: 5. I live my life for God, but I do not think God belongs in our Constitution. Separation of church and state; It’s a thing. Look it up. 6. You cannot be both prejudiced and Christian. One prevents the other. No exceptions. If …

In last weeks’ reading of the Hebrew scriptures:

(As a reminder, I, the fundamentalist with Mad Bible Skills, have started re-reading the Bible, from Gen. 1, using a guide I loaded onto my phone. Obviously, people read the Bible and find different things.

In which Prof. Hawkins schools the lot of us in love

Prof. Larycia Hawkins was placed on paid administrative leave by her employer, Wheaton College, after she donned a hijab to show solidarity with her Muslim brothers and sisters, and declared that Christians and Muslims worship the same God.

Did you see the super moon? And then the eclipse?

And if there was no historic Yeshua ben Yosef?

Why can’t we all believe in God?

Blame the skeptical brain.

Though they refuse the label, the Duggars are standard bearers for the Quiverfull movement (no birth control, ever, and women are to keep silent and pregnant, in the home). …

Comes now one Sylvia Ann Driskell v. Homosexuals

Sixty-six year old Sylvia Ann Driskell has filed a federal lawsuit, as an ambassador of God and Jesus Christ, against Homosexuals (printed just like that in her own hand), in an attempt to convince the rest of us that homosexuality is a sin. You can read Ms. Driskell’s case here. It is quite involved and …

Bro. Mike Huckabee has joined the Presidential race and for that?

We say thank you Baby, Teen-age, and Young Adult Jesus, for where else can you get such gems as: “I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ.” — Vintage 1998 stuff If you felt something incredibly powerful at Auschwitz and Birkenau over the 11 million killed worldwide and the 1.5 …
