Man Hits Wife with Picture of Jesus

Longmont, CO

A 54-year-old Longmont man was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and harassment at 9:49 p.m. Nov. 26 on the 1800 block of Cambridge Road. Dispatch responded to a domestic violence report after a woman's concerned friend called police. When police arrived to find out what was going on, the man didn't want to let police talk to the woman alone. When he finally allowed police to talk to her, he yelled to the woman through the door, "Don't do anything stupid." The woman told police her boyfriend and her had an argument because he wanted her to carry groceries in the house. He then got mad and said he didn't like the Jesus picture hanging in their bedroom, so he took it off the wall and hit her with it in the back of the head. The man told police he threw the picture at her and also said she is a "pack rat" and goes "overboard with things." He was taken to the Longmont Police Department for booking and then taken to Boulder County Jail.

Jesus Appears on Guitar

LUDINGTON, Mich. (WZZM) - Employees at a Ludington music store think the face of Jesus can be seen in the wood grain of one of their guitars.

Instrumental Music and Sound employee Jeff Hoyer was the first to notice the image in the guitar's wood grain.

One customer thinks the image looks like an angel but others think it looks like the face of Jesus on the Shroud of Turin.

The guitar normally sells for around $500, but at this time the guitar with a mysterious face is not for sale.

Foam hosts. Oh, for Christ's sake. There's more. It's "Certified Quiet (TM) no noisy parts to disturb reverent environments." Don't even think of using the phrase "Certified Quiet" because these people own it.

Planned Parenthood Xmas Gift Certificates

I'm sorry. I think this is really funny. You just can't wrap a pelvic exam - I've tried!

Not everyone thinks this is as funny as I do. Priests for Life, who are certain these will be used for abortions, are calling the gift certificates "irredeemable," "inappropriate," and an "abomination."

I really like the woman on the side of the site who says, "We Deliver!"

Badger Strongly Condemned for Giving Cake to Stem Cell Researcher

Steve McConkey, the president of Underground Apologetics strongly condemned the University of Wisconsin's mascot, Bucky the Badger, for presenting Dr. James Thomson with a birthday cake and song. Dr. Thomson is famed for isolating human stem cells and for criticizing Bush for not fully supporting stem cell research.

McConkey had harsh words for the plush critter,

This may be a first for a school mascot to be used in supporting the culture of death. Adult stem cell research should be pursued instead of using embryos. As a UW fan, I am saddened that Bucky Badger was used for this cause.

The US Military Addresses Troop Suicides

According to CNN, "each day, five U.S. soldiers try to kill themselves. Before the Iraq war began, that figure was less than one suicide attempt a day."

From Huffington Post.

In March 2008, this presentation, titled "A New Approach To Suicide Prevention: Developing Purpose-Driven Airmen," was shown at a commander's call that was mandatory for an estimated 1,000 of Lakenheath's Air Force personnel, and sent out by email to the entire base of over 5,000 the following day. As the use of the phrase "Purpose-Driven" in its title implies, also incorporated into this presentation is the wisdom of presidential candidate inquisitor Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, a book that, second only to the Bible itself, is the most heavily promoted religious book in the military.

The next slide examines chance v. design in our lives, suggesting that for non-believers, "man is center of the universe."

It gets SO much worse. Pat Tillman, a soldier killed by friendly fire, is used as a teaching tool to persuade people to embrace Christianity.

I'd love to know how much "Dr." Rick Warren is getting paid because you just KNOW he's not doing this for free.

BTW, Rick Warren awarded Bush the first International Medal of PEACE from the Global PEACE Coalition yesterday. Uh..., riiight.
