This is freaking beautiful: It is our duty to move forward. We must fulfill our constitutional obligation to ensure that the highest court in the land has a full complement of justices. Unfortunately, it would seem that some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle do not agree—and they wasted no time in making known their objections. Less than an hour after news of Justice Scalia’s death became public, the Majority Leader announced that the Senate would... Read more
Todd Starnes, who has made a career of being a professional liar and exaggerator, posted something to twitter the other day that caught fellow Patheos blogger (and FFRF attorney) Andrew Seidel‘s attention: .@toddstarnes @bellevuepastor Which version of the story, Matt. or Luke? Or some bastard hybrid? They don’t mesh that well. — Andrew Seidel (@AndrewLSeidel) December 10, 2015 This is a simple question about the bible which Starnes, realizing he was talking to an atheist with a pretty good reader base...

It was actually a pretty long hike to get these. I had an appointment with my new doctor (who has effing awesome, I’m really optimistic about him). I got the prescription, went to pick it up, and found out that hardly anybody is contracted with my insurance (Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Kansas City). Finally got the script sent to Wal-Mart and just went to pick it up, but there was about an hour delay due to errors by the person... Read more
Pseudo-historian David Barton has hit, in my estimation, a new low. He was chatting with Glenn Beck about Black History Month and, on the subject of relations between white people and black people in the Antebellum South, said the they were actually good (it should be noted that white people were able to own black people). Barton’s coverage of this issue was, as always, laughably one-sided and misleading, as he spent a good deal of the opening segment relating tales... Read more
An Alabama man is suing the five Supreme Court Justices who ruled in favor of Jim Obergefell last summer, and he wants six million dollars: A Bessemer attorney, who is against last year’s order by the U.S. Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage nationwide, on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit against the five justices on the high court who made up the majority in that ruling. “Defendants (justices) goes beyond a manipulation, twist, strain, or unique perspective on the text and...

God is apparently short on power tools: Police said a woman who identified herself as”God” was caught smashing a window at the Southeastern Plumbing Supply store, on South Main Street, early on Wednesday morning. Oh yeah? Prove it. According to the police report, Salisbury officers J.S. Lakey and J.C. Easler had finished a traffic stop at the intersection of Main and Thomas streets when they noticed a woman in front of the plumbing supply with with a large metal rod.... Read more
Brevard County, Florida seems to be lousy with religious nuts. Already the County Commission has defied the law by denying atheists the chance to give an invocation (and are getting sued over it). Now their school board has shot down adding LGBT people to their non-discrimination policy under pressure from the community: After more than 90 LGBT policy opponents spoke to the school board, the board voted to unanimously kill the proposed policy, and said it would hold a public...

I like Bernie a lot (and hope I get the chance to vote for him), but even among people I like I’m not a fan of giving religion credit for what humanity has come up with. “Every great religion in the world — Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism –essentially comes to do unto others as you would like them to do unto you,” he said during CNN’s Democratic town hall event on Tuesday night. I can’t get down with that. I... Read more
Ramon Arguelles, archbishop of Lipa City, is warning the citizenry of a threat to their immortal souls: Madonna: A Roman Catholic bishop in the Philippines on Wednesday urged the faithful to stay away from American pop singer Madonna’s two-night concert in Manila, calling her music “suggestive” and her clothes “vulgar”. Madonna is 57. She’s been around for a while and been successful doing “suggestive” music and wearing sexy outfits. Does the bishop think he’s going to sink her by using... Read more
