If one thinks that marketing agents put “Bible” in the code, then they might think of them as predatory, or presumptuous about U.S. Christians and their political affiliations.

…he move was “politically motivated”. “I think it’s sad. You don’t have the freedom of speech today to really defend yourself,” she said. “It’s a sad day for our nation when it comes to that. “Ian Thorpe can stand for the other side and there’s no criticism but when we stand for our Christian beliefs or God’s side I feel sporting people are very intimidated, they’re put down.” … Mrs Court, a Christian minister based in Osborne Park, said the conseq…

Give Me That Old-Time Ex-Gay Snake Oil

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…view LGBT people—as purely sexual beings. Foster’s screed is simply a long promo for a new ex-gay movie coming out, and the trailer, three-minutes of nauseating footage, centers around how each of these former homosexuals lived their lives in clubs, engaging in cheap, easy, and often public sex, or were sexually abused. For all the claptrap the religious right yells about how they don’t want to think of us “that way,” the trailer for the film is p…

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…; they showed the cross of Coptic Christians together with the crescent of Egypt’s Muslims in a united religious front against autocracy. Imagine what Osama bin Laden must have made of all of this as news trickled into the fortress-like mansion in Abbottabad where he had lived for the past several years. Imagine even more the puzzled chagrin of someone like bin Laden’s primary lieutenant, al-Zawahiri, the Egyptian medical doctor who joined the mos…
