Now that the election is over and President Obama no longer has to be afraid of Evangelicals bent on his destruction, it's time to put aside petty politics and enforce the law in regards to religious institutions and their supposed neutrality when it comes to politics. We all know countless religious organizations have been violating the rules of their tax-exempt status, which stipulates pastors are not all ...

I'm all for expressing one's opinion (I wouldn't be doing this web shit if I didn't), but I feel it's my duty to remind young people that the Internet never forgets, and it has a tendency to shame your ass whenever you say something stupid. Do you honestly think the opinions you express as a teenager will carry on to adulthood? I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm kind of glad the Internet and its am ...

Remember a few weeks back when over 1000 preachers openly defied the IRS and began politically endorsing Mitt Romney? Well, it certainly wasn't the first time these guys broke the law, and it certainly won't be the last. This stunt was in an effort to repeal a law that until now, the IRS has refused to enforce. Gutsy, this was not. "Pulpit Freedom Sunday" has been staged annually since 2008 by a group calle ...

A bit old, but it turns out I don't ever pay attention to Piers Morgan (can you blame me?), even when he's replaced by someone infinitely cooler like Bill Maher. Here he is talking abut how the Emmys suck, how he's not sure what to think abut Obama (his response is actually pretty fresh), and his upcoming "Cosmos" series that I'm still on the fence about (it's a tough sell, trying to match the awesomeness o ...

I wonder if Pat Robertson remembers this little gem from back in January, when he claimed God told him in advance that Obama was going to lose the election...which he of course did not. If I was him, I'd just pull the same stunt Mohammed did whenever he was caught making a bullshit prediction: just blame it on the devil. He's the go-to guy for all your lame excuses: did you cheat on your wife? The devil mad ...

I know the big news story today is President Obama being re-elected, but I hope this bit of news doesn't get buried under all the brouhaha: it seems as though the tiny state of Maryland has legalized same-sex marriage by approving "Question 6" on the ballot. Now, before you celebrate this victory, you should know a few important details: Establishes that Maryland’s civil marriage laws allow gay and lesbian ...

OK folks, this is it: after months and months of the presidential election campaign eating up valuable news real-estate, it's now time for you to exercise the limited choice you have and cast your insignificant voice into the choir of madness that is the electoral process. As you may well know, over 80% of my audience is from the US, which means I have a huge stake in this election. Already over the past 3 ...

This week, we confront my 'Ageism' and discuss 'generational theory' and why the world is as crappy as it is. Plus, more on the Tea Party and who comprises their ranks. It's a must for any political junkie. SHOW NOTES Introduction: Lecture on Tea Party by Prof. Theda Skocpol lecture at Oxford:[5] 1980-2000 - Millennials or Generation Y 1965-1979 -  Generation X 1946-1964 -  Baby Boom 1925-1945 -  Silent Gen ...

Catholics are hilarious. It's been 60 years since the invention of the pill, and these dinosaurs are still trying to argue that it's the most evil invention since the guillotine. Abortion and birth control are two sides of the same coin. The currency of which is the prevention and/or the destruction of nascent human life. While some forms of contraception, such as the condom or the diaphragm, are not themse ...

As election day approaches, religious institutions are taking advantage of the uncertainty and religious resurgence to attempt to undo a law prohibiting them from participating in the political process. Now, we all know the IRS is a toothless organization when it comes to this issue: only once have they ever bothered to enforce this law, despite blatant violations (such as when the Mormon Church spent 30 mi ...
