Answer’s in Genesis is “an an apologetics ministry, dedicated to enabling Christians to defend their faith and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ effectively.”
It’s also the source of the following video depicting a white kid aiming a loaded gun at the camera while some man states that “if you don’t matter to God, you don’t matter to anyone”:
The message, of course, is “if it weren’t for my firm belief in the existence of Hell, I’d shoot your ass”, which is a rather common brand of fuckwittery amongst Christian apologists and extremists.
A father and daughter from a US church which preaches hatred of homosexuals have been banned from entering the UK. Fred Phelps and his daughter Shirley Phelps-Roper from the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) had urged protests against a play being put on in Hampshire.
Even better is why they banned their asses:
The UK Border Agency said it opposed “extremism in all its forms”.
A spokesman added: “Both these individuals have engaged in unacceptable behaviour by inciting hatred against a number of communities.
“We will continue to stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country.
“The exclusions policy is targeted at all those who seek to stir up tension and provoke others to violence regardless of their origins and beliefs.”
Hate speech, contrary to what a certain Canadian appears to think, is intended to provoke hatred and/or violence against others, not make them uncomfortable by challenging something they believe to be true.
Leading social conservatives blasted Newsweek for its current cover story, “The Religious Case for Gay Marriage,” which they said misinterprets both biblical scripture and their own political movement.
“It doesn’t surprise me. Newsweek has been so far in the tank on the homosexual issue, for so long, they need scuba gear and breathing apparatus,” said Richard Land, who heads the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. “I don’t think it’s going to change the minds of anyone who takes biblical teachings seriously.”
Tony Perkins, president of the socially conservative Family Research Council, agreed, calling Newsweek’s cover story “yet another attack on orthodox Christianity.”
What Newsweek ought to have done is print an article about the religious case for executing “anyone who takes biblical teachings seriously” yet continues to eat shellfish.

If I worked for AP, that’s what I’d put as the title to this article. Why? Because that’s exactly what happened (emphasis added). Dozens of Jewish settlers rioted Tuesday in the West Bank town of Hebron, clashing with the Israeli troops who guard them but who may also soon evict them from a disputed building [...]
Just a friendly neighbourhood message from Kenneth Frock of Littlestown, New York. The sign [which states 'I believe in gun control. I have a sharp eye and a steady trigger finger.

Since opening this blog there is one thing I’ve never really written about. My childhood. Especially my childhood after mother became a born again fundamentalist. I was about ten years old when that happened and she was dead by the fall of my 14th year. By the time of her death she considered me the [...]
The Christian Defense Coalition is picketing ESPN. Why are they picketing ESPN? Because saying Jesus Christ in a less than loving manner and Goddamn is the equivalent of calling a black person a n*gger and a homosexual a f*ggot. It is the goal of the Christian Defense Coalition to help ESPN realize the negative use [...]

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. — Mark Twain
