I’m Not a Real Doctor, But They Call Me Dr. Dino
Here’s something interesting I came across recently: Kent Hovind’s doctoral dissertation. His school, Patriot Bible University (with a name like that, it HAS to be good), has claimed that what was leaked is not the complete thesis, which might explain … Continue reading

Madam, I’m Adam
A common line trotted out by the homophobic crowd is, “It’s Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!” It’s not clear what exactly their point is, but I suppose it’s that, since the first marriage in existence was that of … Continue reading

Meet the New Pope, Same as the Old Pope

Tarasque Syndrome

The World According to Chick
I hadn’t looked at Jack Chick’s website in a long time, but my wife reminded me of it tonight, so I took a look at the new tract “Let’s Fly Away.” Honestly, I have a hard time believing old Jack … Continue reading

FLDS Fail
A few days ago, Beth and I watched some 20/20 piece on the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints, who are basically Mormons who split off from the main church when it decided to no longer espouse polygamy. For the FLDS, not only … Continue reading

Who Invited You, God?
Yes, according to some people, God didn’t save the children killed in the recent school shootings because He’s just not allowed in the public schools. Mike Huckabee said it, as did Brian Fischer and a lot of people on social … Continue reading
