Here’s a bit more Richard Jeni. Whoever uploaded this one misspelled the word religion in the title, but I won’t slag him too much since he clearly has good taste in comedy. This one is all about his experiences going to church as a kid and how they could have been made much better if …

Rappin’ For Jesus. This Can’t Be Real, Can It?
As I said on Twitter where I first saw it, I really don’t want this Rappin’ for Jesus video to be fake, but I have a feeling it probably is. but the fact that it’s only a feeling and not a sure thing is interesting. What does it say about how out of touch with …

Fetuses Are People, Right Up Until They Start Costing Us Large Sums Of Money
I don’t want to get into a great big religion debate here, but I have to ask. How much is your faith actually worth to you when you’ll toss one of your core beliefs aside completely in order to have a wrongful death lawsuit against you thrown out? The case involves the 2006 death of …

The Reason For The Season?
For a number of reasons, I’m not at all what you’d call religious. I do, however, do my best to embrace the holiday spirit even if sometimes it isn’t the easiest thing to do. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, exchanging gifts, watching Christmas specials, sipping cider (hard or regular) while sitting by …
Gay Marriage? Wrong! Gay Sleeping Around At Political Conventions? Well…
Not that there’s anything wrong with this, but it sure is interesting. Grindr, the friend-finding phone application that has become a popular destination for gay men looking to meet up, experienced a surge in traffic in the Tampa area during the Republican National Convention this week. According to figures provided by Grindr’s analytics department, the …

God Hates Needless Protests
Here’s another one of those good thing bad thing situations. Whenever a government restricts the right of its people to assemble and express themselves I worry, but on the other hand, this should only have an impact on those Westboro Baptist loons, who really have no sensible or constructive message and are just out to …
A Song From The Plane
This has been in my head since I came home from San Diego. On the plane, in their entertainment selections, which I can’t select myself because it’s touchscreen *mutters under breath*, there was Just for Laughs stuff in there. Because my seatmate/coworker was kind enough to push the buttons, I listened to this song. Here …
If Missionaries Want To Win Converts, It’s All About Business, Not Bibles
In the last decade and a half or so, Christianity has become quite an appealing option to many of the Jarai people of Cambodia. The reason? Simple Economics. Traditional spirit god appeasement doesn’t come cheap, often costing hundreds of dollars in slaughtered animals and other goods. Since Jesus doesn’t make you part with that much …

German Court Cuts Off Religious Circumcisions
I’m not entirely sure how I should feel about this. A German court has ruled that circumcising young boys on religious grounds amounts to bodily harm even if parents consent to the procedure. Cologne state court said the child’s right to physical integrity trumps freedom of religion and parents’ rights, German news agency dapd reported …

Today In Ridiculous Homophobes
Oh…god…brain…melting…can’t…handle…the…stupid! Perhaps you’ve heard of Pastor Charles L. Worley of the Providence Road Baptist Church in North Carolina. But if like me you hadn’t until now, here’s a quick video you can use to learn all you need to know about him in 2 minutes. Yes, that really is a man advocating caging lesbians, “queers …
