The Onion has a great satire piece that hits the bullseye when it comes to Christian dogma. I’ve written before about how Christianity gives a free pass to sin, but The Onion, as usual, puts its satirical wit to good use and hammers the message home. The first few months behind bars were the worst …

Fun with church signs.
What follows is a good example of why my daughter rocks. She and I drove by a church today that frequently has "witty" sayings on their sign. This week, the sign said, "Did you make God smile today?" I pointed it out to my daughter, but she missed it. "What did it say?" she asked. …
You’re crediting who?
I just watched a video about a car accident victim, his accompanying horrifying injuries, and his subsequent recovery. The injuries were so bad that the ICU had to put him into a chemically-induced coma for six and a half weeks. The medical staff patched him back up, fixing shattered joints, a fractured spine, dislocations, and …
Possession & Witchcraft…2010?
This story is horrific. In the year 2010 we still have people accusing others of witchcraft and satanic possession. It was bad enough 300 years ago when people were accused of witchcraft in Salem, Ma. but at least the people involved were adults. Now there is a Nigerian woman named Helen Ukpabio who suggests that …
The Scapegoats of Catholic Sex Abuse
The concept of “scapegoating” dates back to a biblical age. The theory was that a community could load all of their problems on the back of some hapless goat and exile it into the desert, effectively excising the troubles of the community. Sometimes I pine for the good ‘ole days. Wouldn’t it be nice if …

The comments in parenthesis are what I can only imagine the Pope was really thinking when he wrote this garbage. …

Webcomic: Jesus’s First Birthday
My first attempt at a webcomic… (Thanks to Mike for the collaboration)
I smell a RAT-zinger!
Why is the head of the world’s largest cult not in prison…you know, the Pope? I’m not sure why the “current” Catholic sex scandal is making such news. It has been known and documented for years that Ratzinger was the author of the Catholic policy to move child molesters rather than prosecute them. The scope …
Fun with church signs
A local church recently changed its sign to read: Begin to weave and God will provide you with the thread. I’ve heard a similar statement made by Christians trying to "convert" those of different religious persuasions, but it goes something like, "Just have faith in Jesus and He will show Himself to you." This isn’t …
Some Star Trek humor
One of the commenters on Pharyngula posted a link to this image and I found it amusing, being a Star Trek fan myself (but nearly as nerdy about it as Craig is). Ha! (click to embiggen)
