Arg. I must channel the anger I’m feeling before I say something I regret. You know the whole thing I posted about Holly? Well, she and I are on a mailing list together. This mailing list always acts like they’re one big family. Well, when she posted her news, blog, and request for help, all …

Now the Legislators Of Iowa Definitely Need Prayer
Man, people are narrow-minded. The Iowa legislature had its usual prayer at the opening of the session, only this time, it was said by a muslim Imam, and because of that, people are getting all bent out of shape over some words. They claim that it wasn’t a prayer, but some kind of political statement …

My Zebibah is Bigger Than Your Zebibah
So, explain this to me. If according to Islam, everybody is supposed to pray the same amount, and men and women are both supposed to pray, and it always involves putting your nose and forehead to the ground, how come Egyptian men are just now developing a zebibah, egyptian for raisin, or callous developed from …
Gone To See Dad
I’m certainly not what you’d call a religious person, but even I would have a hard time resisting the urge to wear a shirt with a cross on it that says “Gone to see Dad. …Be back soon to pick you up. –Jesus” And while we’re at it, here’s a nice list of gifts for …
If You Go Down to Sudan Today, You’re In For A Big Surprise
This is also from the old news department, but I need to blog it before Christmas chaos hits. There is a British teacher who is lucky to escape Sudan with her life. Why? She allowed her 7-year-old students to name a teddy bear Mohammed! But she still says she had a fabulous time in Sudan. …

This list of potentially offensive Christmas gifts is just funny. Christ on a motorbike? A toaster that stamps your bread with the Virgin Mary? A nativity scene including the Israeli security fense, complete with the wise men on the wrong side? Teddie-bear urns? But this is the reason it grabbed my attention. They have a …
The Medical Care Was Worse Than The Snakebite!
Let’s think about this. A woman gets bitten in a religious snake-handling ritual. That’s perhaps ironic and worth a sarcastic chuckle, but if you’re a hospital staff member and she shows up for treatment, shouldn’t all chuckling stop and treatment start? If the staff at the Marymount Medical Centre in London, Kentucky, truly did what …

The War Of The Moral Compass And the Golden Compass
Why does this thing I read in Snopes demand to be put up? It doesn’t surprise me, not in the least, but every time the logical part of me says it doesn’t need to be talked about, another part of me screams that it does. There’s apparently a movie coming out in December called the …

Praise The Lord!
I’m glad to hear that President Bush had such a good visit with the Dalai Lama. Er, actually make that “Dali Lama”.
Porn Sunday?
This story wasn’t too special. A bunch of churches want to designate one Sunday a year as the time to rail against porn. But two things stood out for me. First, what is with this guy’s obsession with elephants? He refers to porn as the elephant in the pew because everybody sees it but doesn’t …
