The Old Testament Explained

September 1, 2008 John Comedy, evolution, george bush, homophobia, Homosexuality, Jewish People, Jews, Lewis Black, New Testament. Creationism, Old Testament

I am a huge fan of Lewis Black. His stand-up routines and commentaries on the Daily Show almost always evoke a laugh-out-loud reaction from me. One night last week I watched, for a second time, a Comedy Central showing of Black on stage in Washington, D.C. In response to Bush’s comments about Evolution that, “the jury is still out,” Black does a routine about the Old Testament. As is always the case with the best comedy, it made me think about me think about things from a different perspective…about how we Christians use the Old Testament to discriminate against gay people.

Amendment 2 Supporters Caught in a Lie

A while back John Stemberger, leader of the Anti-Gay Amendment 2 group here in Florida, was quoted in an Orlando Sentinal article discussing those opposed to Amendment 2 saying, “We’re going to confront deception and we’re going to expose them wherever they are.” Strong words, until one has to eat them.

Fighting Gays and Abortion More Important Than Saving the World

March 7, 2007March 24, 2008 John abortion, hatred, homophobia, Homosexuality, Krazy Kristian Kooks, Lobbying, National Association of Evangelicals, Ted Hagard

You heard right. Apparently conversative Christian leaders are mad at the Government Affairs guy for the National Association of Evangelicals (yep, the one Ted Haggard used to head). They seem to think fighting against equal rights for gay people and opposing abortion are more important than saving the world from blowing itself up.
