Ah, Glenn Beck: bizarre as always. He’s now claiming that Wolf Blitzer Was Set Up, that “forces of spiritual darkness” maneuvered him into asking an atheist on air about whether she wanted to thank the Lord, just so she could denounce God publicly. Now everything is a conspiracy theory to these guys. But what I …

Don’t tell the anti-choicers!
Or we could be in big trouble. The antis of Ireland have a whole arsenal of secret weapons in the battle to keep women pregnant that I haven’t seen deployed here — they have access to Catholic magic. I don’t think we’d be able to resist if they started cruising our country with magic paintings, …

After they defeat Darwin, the creationists will be coming after psychiatry next
I think David Dobbs is going to be amused to learn that the Discovery Institute thinks he has just demolished Darwinism by way of psychiatry. But in an article that is delusional even by the standards of that bastion of lunacy, the DI argues that the collapse of evolution is just around the corner. Again. …

And we’re the intolerant ones?
Al Bedrosian is the Republican (of course) candidate for the Roanoke County supervisor, and he certainly makes his position clear in a 2007 op-ed to the local paper. As a Christian, I think it’s time to rid ourselves of this notion of freedom of religion in America. Now that I have your attention, let me …

But what about capitalism, Rush?
Rush Limbaugh’s network has lost millions of dollars this past quarter, and he may be on the way out. Apparently, the problem is that advertisers have fled his show in droves, especially after his rages against Sandra Fluke. But you knew he’d have an excuse: it’s all the women’s fault. Despite sources close to Limbaugh …

Bringing trolling to new depths
I’m astonished. One of the usual FtB haters encouraged Westboro Baptist to come to Women in Secularism. Slime consorting with more slime. Let’s just hope they don’t breed.

“Intolerant Atheists Viciously Attack Christian School”
That’s right: a mob of snarling, vicious atheists on PCP descended on an innocent, pious group of reverent Christians, on their knees and heads bowed in prayer, and brutally clubbed and stabbed them. Just ask Ken Ham. Oh, wait, no…what actually happened is that the Answers-in-Genesis inspired exam given at this one school came to …

The nut doesn’t fall far from the tree
There’s another Hovind! And he’s an idiot, too! I’m no fan of genetic determinism, but man, when every person I know saddled with the name Hovind is a bible-thumping twit, I begin to have doubts. The new Hovind is Chad. He’s a preacher, of course, and he likes to turn complex subjects into simple-minded Bible …

Creationism certainly does undermine education!
Tina Dupuy had a good op-ed published in the Sedalia, Missouri newspaper, titled “Teaching creationism hurts kids, undermines educational system“. Yeah, it does: it prompted some rebuttals that made her case even more strongly. John Nail has some complaints: Writer had it dead wrong on debate over teaching creationism In response to Tina Dupuy column …

Happy Eliminating All References To Him Day!
It’s Earth Day today, and I had no idea this was an atheist holiday. Ken Ham sets me straight, though, explaining that Earth Day is actually an anti-christian plot. You see, God made humans stewards of the earth, which basically means that we’re supposed to turn it into farms and gardens. There are also bad …
