Today’s episode comes with a warning: I will be reading a story full of sex and religious innuendo, or rather, religion mixed with sexual innuendo. And guilt and sweaty palms. If you find any of these things offensive, you may want to stop now. Or you may want to continue listening. Feel guilty now and [...]

December 30th, 2008 · by xJane · No Comments
Two recent news stories impressed upon me the fact that I will always be some kind of Catholic. Even if it’s ex-Catholic. My first step in rejecting religion was exploring my own. This started as what I later knew to be feminist critique of Catholicism. The more I learned, the more it seemed clear to [...]

Biblical Fail
October 30th, 2008 · by xJane · 10 Comments
I have to post this, since it’s lolreligion. By now, I’m sure everyone has heard that a particular Christian called others to join in prayer at the bronze bull on wall street to ask god to “shift from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the ‘Lion’s Market,’ or God’s control [...]

Moral Relativism
August 28th, 2008 · by xJane · 1 Comment
I was recently doing a survey recommended to me by BoingBoing. One of the questions involved a poor person giving money to a charity vs. a rich person giving the same amount of money to a charity. It reminded me of the parable of the widow’s mite.
Now, I have often been told, as a moral [...]

Antichrist ‘08

I enjoy Religion Clause, because it gives me bite-size news about religion & the government. More often than not, there is an article about the election. But this one just blew me away.

Bible in Public Schools Bill Approved Overwhelmingly by Tennessee Legislature
May 21st, 2008 · by John · 1 Comment
I may actually agree with the state representatives of Tennessee in the following, though probably not for the same reasons:

Spark: Justice v. Life
May 16th, 2008 · by xJane · No Comments
Religion Dispatches has a very interesting deconstruction of a well known Old Testament story, one used frequently to support “the Culture of Life” (forgive my scare quotes, but they scare me!), but which, RD argues, ought to be understood to support Justice.
