Screw Christianity

No, seriously. A wearable crucifix AND a 3-in-one tool. Looks like a standard and a phillips screwdriver and some other, possibly European, tool.

I must have one.

Thanks, J-walkblog.com.

Old-fashioned Christian Paranoia

Communists collect children to be re-educated

In honor of last night's passing of healthcare reform by the House of Representatives I offer you a very low resolution version of Ron Ormond's Christian cult classic, If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? now available on Google videos.

If you thought conservative religious paranoia was something new, this movie will assure you it has existed since Jesus wore short pants.

Minister Estus W. Pirkle, of Nashville, Tennessee, narrates.

In my favorite scene (18:49) communists taunt school children to pray to Jesus to bring them some candy. When that fails, glorious leader steps in and delivers the goods. Other scenes illustrate the dangers of sex education and sensitivity training (10.11), debauchery (12:30), Batman hubcaps (14:00), bullet throwing (18:21), work camps (21:00), bad beards (30:35), assault (32:00), christianity is stupid (34:00), lascivious lip licking (41:21), and Pirkle translating a grandmother's ramblings from beyond the grave (47:20).

Cheap special effects abound, beheadings (44:32), chopsticks in ears (23:40), and drunken communist menacings (24:50).

I love this movie and have tried for years to find a good copy, but this will do for now. Ron Ormond rocks.

Pretty in Pink, or Carrie Prejean and the Sound of One Hand Clapping

Ex-Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has been caught red handed in a sex tape that she herself deemed "disgusting," until she realized she was critiquing her own handiwork.

The video was shopped to TMZ.com but they "decided not to post it because it was so racy."

TMZ.com? Too racy??

Miss Prejean's 15 minutes of fame bedrocked on her pageant rant against same-sex marriage and her promotion of "opposite marriage." From there she was darlingized by the Christian right, always on the prowl for a pretty face. She was all set to appear at The New Jersey Family Policy Council's - Defenders of the Family Awards & Fund Raising Event when her sex tape became public knowledge.

Healthcare provision seeks to embrace prayer treatments
A little-noticed measure would put Christian Science healing sessions on the same footing as clinical medicine. Critics say it violates the separation of church and state.

Ask A White Guy About Black People

Nobody knows the trouble the Mormons have seen, nobody knows but Jay-sus.

Dallin Oaks

Who would have guessed that being "white and delightsome" would fail to protect one from criticism, nay, even oppression, equal to that suffered by Blacks during the Civil Rights era?

Brother Dallin H. Oaks, an apostle of the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), spoke to students at Brigham Young University about the backlash against the church's support of Prop 8, California's anti-gay marriage campaign.

These incidents were expressions of outrage against those who disagreed with the gay-rights position and had prevailed in a public contest. As such, these incidents of 'violence and intimidation' are not so much anti-religious as anti-democratic. In their effect they are like the well-known and widely condemned voter-intimidation of blacks in the South...

Responses to Oaks' comments have been swift and sharp, causing Oaks to backpedal, admitting that the intimidation was not "as serious as what happened in the South."

The LDS church has admitted spending $190,000 in support of Prop 8, though expenses and "compensated staff time" may push that number higher.
