How to Multi-Class a Catholic Schoolgirl/Thief
C’mon, admit it: that got y’all’s attention. But it’s a true story, and I’m about to tell you how my mother, of all people, managed the trick. I mentioned before that my Mom was raised uber-Catholic, as in I have relatives who are nuns and priests, we had a super-antique Read more

Can She Bake a Cherry (Picked) Cake, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
I’m still working on my fun post-DragonCon post but had to drop this in here. It’s just too funny, infuriating, sad, and weird not to mention. Once upon a time, there was a Christian couple who opened a cake shop called Sweet Cakes. They made, among other things, special-order cakes Read more

It’s hard to explain exactly what Martian logic is, so I’m going to use an example and hope the meaning conveys. In the comic strip Calvin & Hobbes, young Calvin one day decides to back the family car out of the garage at his house so he can use the Read more

The Christian’s Guide to Ex-Christians: (You’re All) Genuine Christians. (Okay?)
Fred Phelps thinks he’s one. So does Brother Jed, the Pope, Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, and Eddie Long. So did Biff. So did I. So does every Christian. If you just said “I’ll take ‘TRUE CHRISTIAN’ for $200,” you already understand. Unfortunately, not everybody does. It’s one of the favorite Read more

Tony Anthony: The Cult of Before Stories got a new member last month!
One of my earliest blog entries, A Cult of “Before” Stories, remains one of the most-often-viewed pages on the entire blog (thanks, RationalWiki readers!). It was about how my preacher ex-husband Biff, as well as other Christians including the very well-known-at-the-time Mike Warnke, lied constantly while telling his “testimony” (for Read more

Prayer Warriors for Jesus
Most people who got involved in the Pentecostal denomination I was in weren’t the clean-cut proper men and women the church liked to pretend dominated their demographic. After Biff and I got married and he began doing some preaching around the area, I could see that this denomination wasn’t exactly filled Read more
