How the Catholic Church Broke the Health Insurance it Advocated For

By Patricia Miller

…h care that humans with ovaries and vaginas use, were some kind of special bonus health care coverage that wasn’t included in “regular” insurance? The culprit might just be the Catholic Church. It was the Catholic Church after all that created the very first carve-out from health insurance when its own lobbyist crafted the Hyde Amendment that prevented Medicaid from paying for most abortions on the grounds that taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for…

Memo To Kathleen Parker on ‘Father Sky’ Reference in Tucson Memorial

By Daniel Schultz

…ally? Really? No no, I can top that: “Brother Fire.” Best of all: “Sister Bodily Death.” Who comes up with this crap? Oh, wait. A major Christian saint came up with that crap (Hint: He died in Assisi). As a bonus, he talked about “Mother Earth.” You may find that it’s helpful to know something about a subject before you start talking about it. Just a suggestion. Hugs and kisses, Pastor Dan …

The Islamophobia Industrial Complex

By Sarah Posner

…will draw strength from a greater power to defeat its enemy. And, for some bonus Islamophobia — remember all of this? Now, while evangelicals might be more likely to watch Fox News, and more likely to fear shari’ah, if Fox is just repeating, recycling, or regurgitating the Islamophobia — dressed up as “speaking the truth” — that they are already used to hearing, are these evangelical Fox viewers learning something, or is Fox just reinforcing what…

Palin Bus Tour Like Gideon’s Fleece

By Anthea Butler

Back in 2009, I called Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue promotion the “bus tour of destruction,” noting that her “worldview is not about creation and building,” but about “destruction and dominion.” For dominion to take place, I wrote, “the current order, especially the Democrats’ version of government order, has to fail. What most liberals, Christians included, don’t understand, is that destruction paves the way for a new order ordained by God accordin…

Queer Nuns: Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Are ‘Serious Parody,’ Forcing us to Redefine Nuns

By Melissa Wilcox

…et the new book or books are still just whispering at the back of my head. Bonus: Is there anything else you’d like our readers to know about your book? If you’re considering teaching all or part of the book, you might be interested to know that the Sisters have houses (non-residential chapters) in many large cities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia. They are often happy to visit classrooms, and they will come in habit to discuss their ow…

Breivik’s Christianity About Culture Not Piety

By Julie Ingersoll

…ure. The media and academia are “the enemy” and the Marxism he claims they promote is at the root of an impending social collapse of Western Christendom. And he is vitriolic in his Islamophobia. Breivik apparently was baptized a Protestant, and he does use the Bible, though he does not do so in the way fundamentalists do. In fact, he is explicit that sola scriptura leads to “incipient subjectivism:” The Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura (by sc…

New Southern Baptist Curriculum Bashes Gays

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…astiness. The module on homosexuality (contained in the Insights, Options, Bonus section of Known 13) reads like something that could have been produced by the Family Research Council or Americans for Truth About Homosexuality. That is to say, it’s completely hateful. I am horrified by this development. But also oddly heartened… I am horrified because teenagers coming to terms with their sexuality will be told that homosexuality is “vile and shame…

Sex Is More Fun than Lying

By Sarah Posner

…rriage and using contraception, in spite of Vatican teaching that both are sin, noted that people lie even though that’s a sin, too. I had a little retort to that.) There’s a bonus at the end, too: Michael, a traditionalist Catholic, makes the case against beatification of Pope John Paul II. Watch:…

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Ramadan

By Haroon Moghul

…Muslims so much as for the local police department. Ramadan + deportation: Bonus points on Pakistan International Airlines. Which, like fasting breath (when you don’t eat for a long time, your breath starts to kick), nobody wants to get near. See also safe distance. Namauzea: Namaz is the Persian word for ‘prayer,’ and is traditionally used by all the peoples who were introduced to Islam by Persians or Persophones, which is kind of like a talking…
