FollowRecently, the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood released something called “The Nashville Statement“. I suspect normal folks are blissfully unaware of this development. Those of us with any kind of connection to progressive theological circles? We aren’t so lucky. That’s folks in those progressive theological circles have lost their fucking minds about the Nashville […]

No Homosexual Lifestyle???
In August of last year, the darling of the progressive Christian world, John Pavlovitz, wrote a post titled Repeat After Me: “There is No Such Thing as a “Homosexual Lifestyle.” What?!? No homosexual lifestyle? I find that hard to believe. I mean, if there’s no “homosexual lifestyle”, that means I’ve been an asshole for absolutely no […]
2016: The Year In Review
Well, beloved, we’ve come to the end of another year, which means we’re about to be inundated with “Year in Review” posts/articles/programs. And, yes, I’m doing one, too. “Year in Review” posts aren’t what you’d call a regular feature here. Unlike my annual Thanksgiving posts, I haven’t written one of these since 2012. I’m not […]

As Enid Strict would say: To promote their protest, the group has put out a video. Perfectly […]
HB 2 A “Blatant and Baseless Overreach”
The rest of the country has not been kind to North Carolina the past few month. Since the passage of HB 2 in March, the state has lost as much as $500 million in economic activity, seen shows cancelled by popular performers, faced travel boycotts from multiple states and countries, and become the butt of cruel jokes. All […]
McCrory: “I Might Be In Trouble”
On Tuesday, Governor Pat McCrory went on The John Boy and Billy Big Show in his continuing (pathetic) attempts to control the damage HB 2 is doing to his campaign, not to mention the state of North Carolina. The 15 minute interview was mostly a rehash of the whining and bullshit that has characterized the conservative […]
A Few Words About #BoycottTarget
As if things weren’t crazy enough with this bathroom business, America’s favorite holier-than-thou prigs, the American Family Association, weighed in on the issue with their #BoycottTarget campaign. On April 19, the country’s second largest retailer issued a press release stating, “…we welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds […]
