As you know, Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be aborn of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (John 3:5). Did you know that those clever Mormons have found a way around this requirement? It’s true. Just ask George Carlin. He was baptized, [...]

Hi, Everybody. This is Pastor Steven Anderson. Pastor Steven recently read an article reporting that chickens and T. rex shared a common ancestor. Of course, he thinks it said that dinosaurs turned into chickens (like most creationists, Steven doesn’t understand the concept of creatures descending from a common ancestor).

In case you’ve been waiting on American Family Association to publish its 2010 “Naughty or Nice List” so that you can start your holiday shopping, the wait is over. You probably think I’m being snarky, but I actually appreciate knowing which companies refuse to be bullied by Religious Right thugs. So, HATS OFF to [drumroll...] Barnes & Noble CVS [...]
