* Here is what I just posted on my FB page. Will you join this thought experiment, post a comment on FB for publication here on Patheos?

By allowing the Republicans to play dirty anti-Obama politics with Israel’s security, Netanyahu has done about as much as anyone could to play into the paranoid delusions of the extremist Muslims, Holocaust deniers, and anti-Semites everywhere. Netanyahu and the Boehner-enabled end-run around the American commander in chief might as well be advertised like this: A Great Day For Anti-Semites Everywhere! Speaker of the House and Prime Minister of Israel Conspire to Prove Delusional Paranoid Anti-Semites Right and Make it Look as if... Read more
My “homeschool” interview on the Thom Hartmann Show: Frank Schaeffer, WHY I AM AN ATHEIST WHO BELIEVES IN GOD: How to give love, create beauty and find peace, comes on The Big Picture.

Billionaire GOP donor, extremist Zionist Sheldon Adelson who cooked this bad idea up, Netanyahu and Boehner are the enemies of peace, of Jews of Israel and of America. With friends like these Israel needs no enemies. They seem bent on doing the impossible through their really bad idea to insult our president: They seem bent on turning all non-Republicans against Israel. Netanyahu and Boehner are turning...

“Believe it or not, some homeschool kids have been so severely neglected that they don’t have the skills to function on their own, yet staying at home perpetuates the problem. Additionally, when they leave their families, they lose what little support they may have had…” I just received this letter on my FACEBOOK message page. I asked the author if I could share it. I’m withholding her (and several other) names for her safety. And yes, this is really happening... Read more

According to the Religion News Service, Pope Francis he’s starting to chip away at the contraception ban. Ironic eh? Just as Wheaton College (a school that used to be evangelical) becomes anti-contraception, the Pope starts talking like evangelicals used to before they were hijacked by the loony Roman Catholic right. The Pope derided the idea that “in order to be good Catholics we have to be like rabbits” and produce litters of kids.” “No,” he told reporters on his flight... Read more
