Ruth points us to a evangelical editing of Sir David Attenborough’s “The Life of Mammals”. She provides YouTube links, although I wonder how long they will be active.
Regardless of one’s view of mammalian history, does one need to edit art created by an opponent? Or is this new version simply what DJs would [...]

The RC Archbishop of Munich is upset. MTV is giving out their awards in Munich on 1 November which is also the western church’s feast of All Saints. The German Catholics don’t like this one bit. Nein!
To eyes unencumbered with European history this might seem like a church-state issue. But it [...]

Seems the Pope forgot to run his vestments past the official traditional review board before appearing in public. These folks seem to have forgotten the Church embraces all times.
Nice of them to provide a Unicorn Chaser! Maybe they want the the Pope to only dress like it’s 1250. There is a time [...]

If anyone is familiar with the Anglican Kerfuffle, one may pause a moment thinking the waters are calmer if traversed in some other boat. This is not true, at least of Orthodoxy.

The point of this odd story in the New York Times seems to be that it’s newsworthy that no one is offended.
The sign on the side of Congregation Beth Israel-West Side Jewish Center advertises the latest installment of an apocalyptic, zombie-filled movie series based on the “Resident Evil” video games. It was installed by OTR [...]

I’m all for correct histories of the killings of persons accused of witchery. Five, Fifty, Fifty thousand or Five million make no mind. Christians screwed up.

Heartwarmingly claiming it’s all about the children, the Religious Right tries to turn back the clock on divorce this weekend.
