He also got a cease-and-desist order from the state of Tennessee, all of which may have eventually caused him to donate his horde to a local church for distribution around the state.

By Becky Garrison

…Vitsmun must thank the Lord for saving her life, he jumped off the couch, high-fiving himself when she outed herself as an atheist. “For her to say she’s an atheist in that type of a crisis in front of her neighbors takes balls. So I thought we should start a fund as a reward to show there’s a spine of atheism that will support people who stand up. This is especially true in a state like Oklahoma where you’re dealing with snake-talking kind of Ch…

Can Expelled Teach Us a Thing or Two?

By Arri Eisen

By Mark Hulsether

…e FitzGerald’s core argument that centrists have bulked up enough to go toe-to-toe on this field, she notes the religious right’s disarray in the wake of Jerry Falwell’s death and their difficulties deciding which GOP presidential contender (including a Mormon, a pro-choice Catholic philanderer, a preacher considered unelectable, and one who earlier called them “agents of intolerance”) was the lesser evil. Her argument effectively dramatizes the s…

By Chrissy Stroop

…ttee on Doctrine released a statement against gender-affirming healthcare, complete with concern-trolling about children, that adds fuel to the fire of the vicious attacks on transgender rights and visibility underway in the American public sphere, particularly in Republican-controlled states where the Right’s anti-trans panic has increasingly translated into legal restrictions on trans access to healthcare.
