On Homo Sex And Pickle Sandwiches, or, Dan Cathy is an Idiot and You’re a Jerk.
So by now, you all know the story: The president of Chick-Fil-A, Dan Cathy, says that he’s against gay people and for “the biblical definition of the family unit.” I didn’t plan to write anything about this, because one, I’ve been quietly not eating at Chick-Fil-A for years, partly because they use a good portion…

“Ain’t No Homos Gonna Make it to Heaven” Video Documents Child Abuse in Church
Another disturbing video is making the rounds, this one even more disturbing than the one in which Charles Worley calls for homosexuals to be rounded up, placed in electrified pens and left to die. In this latest viral video, a small child walks to the front of a church and begins singing a song that…

Pastor Charles Worley is a Psychopathic Idiot
Charles Worley is an asshole. The pastor of Providence Road Baptist Church in the tiny town of Maiden, NC–an hour and a half from where I’m sitting right now, lucky me–has been all over Youtube the past few days, spouting his ridiculous theory of how to get rid of the gays, lez-beans, quairs and homaseckshulls…

On Religion, Love and Government
To love is not a privilege or even a right, but an inherent trait, like the ability to breathe. If you believe that god breathed his breath into your existence, then you must also believe that he loved your love into existence. To try to deny anyone the ability to love, freely and openly and…

Why I Voted Against Amendment One
This is what my life looks like: I am an adult heterosexual female. I live with an adult heterosexual male. We have expressed, both verbally and through the way we live, our commitment to each other. We each wear a ring that symbolizes that commitment. We share responsibilities: grocery shopping, bills, housework-though I will say…

How NC’s Amendment One Will Turn America into China (And Other Foolish Points)
What happens if amendment one passes: 1: Homos run amok, using their incredible mind control powers to hypnotize all the heteros and force them to marry in the same bigoted backwoods churches that sentenced them to hell for putting their wieners on other boys’ wieners. (Lesbians are ok, per most clergy. They got that shit…

evangelism
I was looking through some old stuff, and came across this. I don’t usually like what I write, but I like this one. It’s a little less vitriolic than you’ve come to expect from me on this topic, I think. Anyway, here it is… I hope you like it. Evangelism if you were small and…

Hypocrite
This time of year tends to bring out the holier-than-thou in a lot of religious folks; I’m fortunate that I don’t experience it much within my own circle of cherished people, but it’s definitely out there and I see enough of it that it makes me kind of ill. I used to write a lot…

Why the Religious Right is Scared of Old Ladies
This photo has been passed around on Facebook all day today. I don’t know who took it-if anyone does, let me know, so I can give the photographer proper credit-but I do know this: it’s absolutely terrifying. These women are the biggest threat facing our society today. Our entire nation is at risk because of…
