In The Name Of God And Religious Homogeneity

For the better part of two millenia, the followers of Christ have been trying to convert pagans, animists, and polytheistic heathens to their idea of religious thinking. It has been the source of great international and worldwide strife. It has led to the fall of empires, the complete destruction of... Sign in to see full entry.

Church-Burner On Fast Track To Hell

Of all the sins that can get you in the Express Lane to Hell, burning down the house of the lord has got to be one. I mean, think about it -- destroying a place where worshippers gather in his name with the devil's own building material, no less. Anyway, the tenth Alabama church to be torched in a...

Burning Down The House -- Of The Lord

Five church fires in Bibb County, Alabama, 25 miles south of Birmingham, have now come under the scrutiny of the FBI. Investigators say that it looks as if the arsonist lit one fire after another as he (or they) drove down the highway. Three of the churches were destroyed; two were damaged. No one...

Finally Watched Passion Of The Christ

I am a huge Mel Gibson fan. Seen most of his movies. Admire him as a good, moral, confident, strong-willed individual who has overcome considerable adversity to get to where he is today. Even before the success of Passion of the Christ, I felt great admiration for his perserverance in getting... Sign in to see full entry.

Revelations And Prophecy And The End Times

World news today is dire. Wars, famines, desertification, pestilences and diseases, drought, floods, and natural disasters -- enough terrible things to keep CNN busy 24 hours a day. But if that isn't enough to fill you to the brim with gloom and doom, then maybe you need to pick up your Bible. And... Sign in to see full entry.

The Pat Robertson Flip-Flop Files

Well, our good buddy, Pat Robertson, has gone and done it again. Said something incredibly assinine, then recanted. This time he may have gone a bit overboard. I mean, calling for the assassination of Venezuela's leader is one thing, but stating that Ariel Sharon's stroke was evidence of god smiting... Sign in to see full entry.

Children On Religion

Childhood is indeed an innocent time; a time before religion can be such a serious and hateful business. Submission 1: The other day, when asked if he knew the name of the Pope who had succeeded Pope John Paul II, my youngest son said, "I know, I know. John Paul, Jr.!" Submission 2: While watching...

Some Won't See Jesus

Well, you knew it was coming. That is, if you have any ability at all to read the public mood. Since this country has gone puritan in most places, the pre-empting of the new NBC show, Book Of Daniel, by two stations (so far), one in Arkansas and one in Indiana, can't come as too big of a shock. As... Sign in to see full entry.

Rescinding 'Intelligent Design' Policy Intelligent Sign?

The Dover, Pennsylvania, school board today voted unanimously to rescind the policy that allowed a statement to be read in biology classes that Darwin's theory was not a fact, had inexplainable gaps, and offered the idea of intelligent design as an alternative theory. The statement even suggested a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Best Of Christian News, 2005 (For The Hell Of It)

This year has had its share of news concerning Christians. Pope John Paul II passed through St. Peter's arch and left a Nazi Youth (reformed) Cardinal to take his place. Satan's face was seen on the back of a turtle. Pat Robertson told the world on television's 700 Club that the President Chavez of... Sign in to see full entry.
