An Austrian atheist applying for a drivers’ license insisted upon wearing a sieve for his picture, citing a law permitting confessional headgear in official photographs. The seive, representing the atheist’s passionate devotion to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, delayed his license acquisition for three years.

Mark Driscoll’s He-Man Girly Pastor Haters Club
Mark Driscoll—putting the ass in pastor since 1996—isn’t just obsessed with “effeminate worship leaders.” Driscoll is also obsessed with hot and sweaty mixed martial arts action (MMA)… and Tony Jones, one of Driscoll’s fellow worship leaders, thinks there’s something pretty gay about that: I’m not the first person to see the homoerotic nature of MMA.

Why Pat Robertson Knows a Thing or Two about Gay Abomination
Apparently televangelist Pat Robertson is eating an entire case of sour grapes this week because NYC gave the “gay okay” to same sex marriages. HOWEVER! I must admit I learned A LOT about gay abomination from this old man’s illogical rant. For example, I did not know that… 1) Gays are angel rapers! (I’m with […]

Homophobic Men Wanna Suck Dick
The rightwing haters were a little upset when I called Antonin Scalia a cocksucker in Newsweek and Jane Lynch seconded me: Newsweek: How long until there’s an openly gay president or Supreme Court justice? Savage: Scalia isn’t gay?!? I always think the biggest homophobe in the room is clearly a cocksucker. Lynch: Totally! The next […]

The Christians Make a Non-Sex Comedy!
Isn’t that cute! And look who they got to make a cameo appearance… Ted Haggard continues to get work. That’s amazing. Also amazing: the producers of this Christian non-sex non-comedy couldn’t afford to hire any real actors… but they could afford to license “All the Single Ladies” and “You Can’t Hurry Love.”

Rapture Back On

Making Fun of the Rapture
Yes, a bit of cruelty underlies the laughter—as it should. Remember: the Rapture nuts were running around for months predicting that a tiny handful of them would ascend into heaven on Saturday night because God loves them so much. The rest of us—those whom God hates—would be left behind to watch our non-Raptured family members, […]

So… About that Apocalypse…
Red dots would indicate the start of the Apocalypse. Earthquakes meant to sort (finally!) the heathen chaff from the Christian wheat—and end life on Earth as we know it—were supposed to have started tonight in New Zealand, according to a very old California radio preacher. And then the death would have kept rolling through the […]

Rapturous
I’ve heard that the religious nutters who believe that the Rapture is going down—and believers are going up—this Saturday at 6 PM are “blaming” the gays. Um… nutters? Isn’t the Rapture supposed to be a good thing? For believers, I mean. And aren’t you guys looking forward to it? So shouldn’t we be getting the […]
