We may joke about Jesus being a Jewish zombie, but I’m sorry to tell you: he’s not a zombie.

Welcome back. We’ve talked here before about Doug Phillips, uber-patriarch and onetime leader of the now-somewhat-defunct Vision Forum (I wonder if Kirk Cameron still associates with them?); onetime rock-star of the homeschooling movement and mentor to countless right-wing slavering-at-the-mouth fundies all over the world including the clown-car Duggar family; onetime Read more

Greetings and salutations! Once again, a warm welcome to the new folks coming in from Reddit. Y’all have been overwhelmingly kind and it is vastly appreciated. Today I want to talk about something that was sparked in me the other day while reading some Christian blogs: this idea of toxic Read more

A while ago there was a movie out called I, Robot. One of its most disturbing scenes, to me, was one in which the hero must search for a robot who is hiding in a factory among a sea of newly-built robots. The robots–all alike, all identical, all mindless and Read more

I’m talking about their idea of the “Christian state:” this gauzy notion of and desire for a government run by Christians that forces everybody–Christian or not–to live more Read more

Sometimes I get this bizarre feeling like what I’m seeing is actually the ticker-tape crawl display from SimCity 2000–like news is getting increasingly and increasingly surreal and unearthly. Maybe it’s just that I’m getting older. Or maybe I play way too many video games.

Congratulations. I mean that, O Christians running and supporting World Vision charities. Christians’ overwhelming desire to disapprove of human progress has finally outweighed your desire to do the stuff your Savior actually explicitly commanded you to do. You’ve finally shown your true colors. I mean, back when Catholics stopped offering Read more
