Amidst the heady swirl of controversy surrounding the Catholic Church (with more and more evidence of priestly misconduct and of their highly organized protection of these offenders), a UK judge has allowed a Catholic adoption agency to openly discriminate against gay couples wanting to adopt. They are now allowed exemption from sexual orientation regulations that make it illegal to discriminate against som ...

You know, in life, you have to appreciate the little things; a nice sunset, a good meal, and the subtle joys of disciplining your children with large plastic tubes. About 3 years ago, Kevin and Elizabeth Schatz were punishing their adopted daughter for being silly, and because their religion puts heavy emphasis on using physical domination to make children more obedient to God, they decided it was time to r ...

I think overly sensitive Christians need to re-examine their definition of hate speech. Political hopeful William J. Kelly is attempting to make a mountain out of a molehill, claiming a sign erected by the Freedom from Religion Foundation in the Illinois Capital Building is hate speech: At the time of the winter solstice, let reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There ...

The Christian Anti-Defamation League has just released their "Top 10 Instances of Christian Bashing" for 2009, and as you'll see, most of them are centered around homosexuality: 10. Pro-life Pastor Reverend Walter Hoye of Oakland, CA was jailed for exercising peaceful, pro-life speech. 9. Rev. Fred Winters was murdered while preaching in his pulpit in Maryville, Illinois. 8. HBO's program "Curb Your Enthusi ...

Can you think of any reason why one human being should attack another? Perhaps if your own safety is threatened, or if you need to protect your loved ones. I find there are very few valid reasons for one person to hurt another, but I must be in the minority. Take this douche, Robert Bellamy Jr, who along with accomplices assaulted and robbed  two men dressed in woman's clothing, telling police that "God mad ...

Here's the deal; if you want to start your own little mosque and preach for the government to be replaced by a caliphate run by a man in prison for life, it's generally a good idea not to draw attention to yourself by buying and selling stolen weapons, and it's definitely a bad idea to go around telling people to help overthrow the government. Luqman Ameen Abdullah converted to Islam and began preaching ant ...

It's weird to admit I am in almost complete agreement with Joseph Farah of World Net Daily over the issue of Conservapedia's attempt to remove the "liberal bias" of the Bible. Their desire to remove Jesus' supposed "softness" on crime, and disdain for money is particularly telling of their general philosophy. There are plenty of Christians who absolutely hate the whole "easier for a camel to go through the ...

You keep hearing America is a divided nation. What that means is a certain portion of the population still believes homosexuals should be beaten or killed, the Government should be ruled as a theocracy, and only free market principles can help take care of people's health issues (it's been working great so far, right?). Legislators in America have been attempting to get hate laws amended to include homosexu ...

It isn't good news that a nation with nuclear capabilities is slowly becoming a fundamentalist theocracy. Here is a disturbing article in the Guardian about how the growing intolerance of Muslims in Pakistan is having deadly consequences. A few weeks ago, I reported on a group of Christians who were attacked for allegedly defacing the Koran. Their homes were set on fire with them still inside, killing 9 in ...

Before my buddy Jeff came out of the closet, he was a homophobe. I never really understood why, but later he explained to me that it had to do with his secret loathing of himself because of his sexual attraction to other men. I've never had to deal with such a powerful internal conflict, but when I sat down and really thought about it, it made perfect sense. This kind of phenomenon is well known in the gay ...
