Here She Comes Again: The Virgin Mary Returns In Chocolate

Bodega Chocolates is a deluxe chocolate company that caters to the stars. Apparently, it is now reaching for a more divine audience.

Political Dissension Means MegaChurch Schism

What is it to be truly Christian? Does one necessarily have to follow the teachings of Christ and be Christ-like? Or are we too human, considering that Jesus was god's son after all? For Reverend Gregory Boyd of Woodland Hills Church, an evangelical megachurch located in St. Paul, Minnesota, it is... Sign in to see full entry.

Quick Poll: How Many Churchgoers Heard An Armageddon Sermon Today?

I am just curious. Given the escalating violence in the Middle East and Christianity's intense scrutiny of all things potentially apocalyptic, I figured that quite a few sermons dealt with the upcoming Second Coming (not that a large portion of sermons don't do this on a regular basis, but...).

Lawyers Of God United

Back in 2005 Southern Illinois University revoked a student group's charter for making it a requirement that anyone joining their group pledge to follow Christian tenets, stating that this policy violated the University's board of Trustees ruling that student groups follow state and federal laws...

Well, They Found The Ark... Again

It seems that another expedition into the mountains in Iran have come across a pile of wood about as big as an aircraft carrier (300 by 50 cubits, the assigned size of Noah's Ark) in the Elburz mountains in Iran.

Damn! I turned out all the lights and waited for the world to end, somehow thinking that the end of the world would be far more agreeable if it came at me from the dark.

Celebrating 6-6-6 Like It's 1999 In Hell

Well, nothing like going out with a party. There are all kinds of end-of-the-world parties going on, mocking the doomsayers who say that today truly is the last. Call it the Day of the Beast or whatever, the date 6-6-6 conjures up all kinds of religious and anti-religious fervor. Those who aren't... Sign in to see full entry.

Pat Robertson is promoting an "age-defying shake" on CBN.com. The content says that he developed the shake and that it helps keep him healthy and energetic, that it helped him leg-press 2000 lbs. Then it says, watch video of Robertson leg-pressing 1000 lbs. Why didn't they videotape the 2000 lbs.... Sign in to see full entry.
