Bi-religious priest gets the boot

April 3, 2009

Here’s something for the ‘can’t make this crap up’ file via CNN:
For nearly 30 years, Redding has been an ordained minister in the Episcopal Church. Her priesthood ended Wednesday when she was defrocked.
The reason? For the past three years Redding has been both a practicing Christian and a Muslim.

Redding apparently believes there’s no contradiction [...]

Suffer not the single mom to go uncharged

March 25, 2009

In 2007 women set two records. Women gave birth to more children in that single year than at any other point in American history, beating the baby boom of 50 years ago. Single women set a record by accounting for 40 percent of those births.

Vatican tries to hide Pope’s condom remarks

March 21, 2009

After some bitching about the response to the pope’s absurd remarks about how condom use can increase the spread of HIV, the Vatican edited the interview on their site to make it seem as though he was misinterpreted:

Women of the Christian Patriarchy

March 10, 2009

Here’s a fascinating (in a disturbing way) article about the push by Christian men to turn back the clock on women’s liberation and the women who are helping them do it.

Shall I pour soda on her bed?

March 6, 2009

Yesterday afternoon our daughter spilled a glass of soda on the floor and left it there while I was outside.
This has been an ongoing problem and to be honest, I was more than a little peeved about it.
