Miss California Boob Job

May 4, 2009 John bigotry, Carrie Prejean, Gay Marriage, homophobia, Miss California, Miss USA, Perez Hilton, professional christians

I have held off posting on this whole Miss USA conflagration. I thought it mostly much ado about nothing, but now everyone seems to be jumping into the act. Not suprisingly, the krazy kristian kooks are trying to martyr Miss Jugs for Jesus.

The Gathering Storm of Gay Marriage

April 10, 2009April 13, 2009 John Eric Schumacher, Gay Marriage, Iowa, Northbook Baptist Church, Vermont

The krazy kristian kooks have their knickers all in a wad over the gay marriage situation in Iowa and Vermont, and their responses are predictably idiotic. Basically we can’t allow equal protection under the law because it violates their religious sensibilities.

Rick Warren Screws Himself All Around

April 8, 2009April 9, 2009 John evangelicals, Larry King Live, Proposition 8, Rick Warren, Saddleback Church

Mark Twain said, “Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” Rick Warren, darling of the “intellectual evangelicals,” is learning that lesson the hard way this week after an appearance on Larry King Live. Obviously I don’t agree with the evangelical view on homosexuality, and believe they are misreading the Bible based on many years of misinterpretation by their clerics, but I understand their right to believe as they wish. One thing, though, I’m fairly clear about is that lying is pretty much frowned upon throughout the Bible, yet Warren decides to play fast and loose with the truth. Now, even the evangelicals are mad at him.

Supreme Court Won’t Hear Anti-Gay Student’s Case

February 24, 2009February 25, 2009 John Anti-Harassment Training, Boyd County School District, Kentucky

The Supreme Court has declined to take up the case of a Kentucky High School student who wants to sue the school district for barring him from expressing opposition to homosexuality. Morrison, a senior at Boyd County High School, sued the Boyd County school district over a policy that required students to undergo anti-harassment training. He claimed the policy threatened him with punishment for expressing religious beliefs in opposition to homosexuality.

LDS Prophets Experience Sudden Revelations

January 31, 2009 John California, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, LDS, Proposition 8

Jim Burroway at Box Turtle Bulletin seems to have found out why the Proposition 8 people were so hell bent in trying to prohibit the release of the names of donors to their campaign to take away the rights of Gay people in California. It seems the LDS had way more to do with this than they were claiming. (And by the Church, I mean the church corporate…not just “members.”) Burroway reports they had 190,000 reasons to prevent the disclosure. Seems the LDS provided lots of official corporate support and in-kind services.
