YES folks, she’s out from under her rock again. This time Elizabeth Johnston, aka ‘The Activist Mommy’ has declared war on A Children’s Book of Demons and the outlets that are selling it. The human foghorn and mother of ten begins a blog post by saying: Time and time again, Christians are mocked and scorned for our belief in the supernatural and our acknowledgment that dark forces are at work in this world. Postmodernists would like to think that the… Read more

Christian psychologist calls evangelical Trump supporters ‘fools’
December 5, 2019 By Barry Duke

BACK in September 2019, Dr Chris Thurman wrote two op-eds for the The Globe Post. The first was entitled ‘There’s a Sociopath in the White House’ and the second was headed ‘Evangelicals Who Supported Trump to Gain Political Power Made Egregious Mistake’. The latter accused these evangelicals of ‘making a deal with the devil’. Evangelicals made a deal with the devil when they supported Trump. They promised to support Trump for president, even though they knew he is not a… Read more

Christian zealot Israel Folau reaches settlement with Rugby Australia
December 4, 2019 By Barry Duke
0 Comments
AFTER blaming bushfires on abortion and gay marriage last month, former Wallaby Israel Folau, 30, now wants ‘all Australians to know that he does not condone discrimination of any kind against any person on the grounds of their sexuality.’ Well, isn’t that nice. Those words came in a statement today from Rugby Australia after it reached a settlement with Folau, who was demanding $A14-million in compensation for wrongful termination. Folau was sacked after he said on Instagram earlier this year… Read more

UK pastor claims hateful retweet did not discriminate against anyone
December 4, 2019 By Barry Duke
0 Comments
ANOTHER day, another case for Andrea Minichiello Williams of Christian Concern, a UK-based anti-LGBT outfit. This one is centred on pastor Keith Waters, 53, above, from Ely in Cambridgeshire, who retweeted a hateful anti-Pride post by Catholic bishop Thomas Tobin, of Rhode Island. In the wake of a massive backlash, Tobin hurriedly apologised, saying: I regret that my comments yesterday about Pride Month have turned out to be so controversial in our community, and offensive to some, especially the gay… Read more

US Ambassador to Zambia gets a taste of hateful Christian values
December 3, 2019 By Barry Duke
10 Comments
THE ambassador, Dan Foote, above, had the gall to criticise a 15-year jail sentence imposed on a gay couple in Zambia, and immediately ignited a diplomatic row. More than that, Foote claims to have been subjected to a hate campaign on social media after he called the sentence, imposed on Japhet Chataba and Steven Samba, horrifying. Foote said yesterday (Monday): I was shocked at the venom and hate directed at me and my country, largely in the name of ‘Christian’… Read more

Addercadabra! Patagonian fossils do not suggest God cursed snakes.
December 3, 2019 By Robert Stovold
15 Comments
THE religious news site Faithwire (motto: ‘Inform. Challenge. Inspire.’) reports that a newly-found fossil snake ‘backs up Genesis’, as the fossil ‘indicates snakes had legs’. The Jerusalem Post similarly teases its readers with the headline ‘Is the Bible right? Newly discovered fossils show snakes had legs’. The fossil in question, of a snake-like creature called Najash, certainly suggests that snakes once had hind limbs, but hardly “backs up” the Genesis account – indeed, the fossil refutes it. Let’s suppose, for… Read more

Six jailed in Malaysia for picnicking instead of praying
December 2, 2019 By Barry Duke

MALAYSIA’s obsession with imposing barbaric Islamic punishments on citizens guilty of violating shariah law continues unabated. Last year, for example, two women caught having sex in a parked car were each given six lashes amid a heightened crackdown on homosexuality. The women, ages 22 and 32, were also fined more than RM3,400 ($800). Now reports say that, in what is possibly the first case of its kind in the country, six male Muslims, including three teenagers, have been sentenced to… Read more

Amazon Synod vandal leads protests against AIDS charity event
December 2, 2019 By Barry Duke

THE historic Catholic cathedral of St Stephen in Vienna hosted its third ‘blasphemous’ AIDS charity at the weekend, much to the fury of deranged zealot Alexander Tschugguel, above, who came public attention when he threw a pagan idol into the River Tiber during the Vatican’s troubled Amazon Synod. He arranged a protest outside the cathedral and prayed the rosary outside the cathedral in reparation for what far right-wing LifeSiteNews branded “a pro-LBGT concert” organised by a group called “Believe Together”….

Catholic Church’s flirtation with paganism continues to haunt it
December 1, 2019 By Barry Duke

AND when you have a haunting you need a accomplished exorcist to deal with the problem – or, in the case of that troublesome Amazon Synod – FOUR! Conservative Catholics haven’t stopped kwetching ever since Pope Francis, together with Amazonian indigenous leaders, participated in what many have described as a ‘pagan’ tree-planting ceremony in the Vatican Gardens as part of the Amazon synod in October. It’s now being reported that four exorcists have issued a joint statement asking Catholics worldwide… Read more

‘You’ve got wood!’ – Jesus’ manger relic returns to Bethlehem
December 1, 2019 By Barry Duke

THERE’S no pleasing some Christians. Yesterday (Saturday) a piece of wood said to be from Jesus’ manger arrived in Bethlehem from the Vatican – but it’s reported that some are disappointed by its size. Said Sandy Shahin Hijazeen, 32: It’s a small piece, we thought it would be a bigger piece. When we heard that the manger is coming back we thought it would be the whole manger, but then we saw it. The fragment, just a few centimetres long… Read more
