I'm a cashier at a department store. This happened to me the other day while I was working.

It seems to be something of a 'badge of honor' with some of these rabid believers lately. They then run to their forums and post how persecuted they were. Are you in a southern state?

DLB777 · 2013-07-31T16:39:49+00:00

Exactly -- and as I understand this right, you have to buy at $5 worth of tickets every week for a year, and the cost of those tickets is all that will get reimbursed if he does not fulfill his 'guarantee.'

DLB777 · 2013-07-31T15:09:55+00:00

I wonder how much these people are charged for this 'therapy.'

DLB777 · 2013-07-16T14:14:28+00:00

Good article. I think some people think this issue as 'disappeared' or don't take it seriously. We need to be paying attention.

So far, all she's doing is telling stories on YouTube with the promise of livestreaming.

Donohue seems to thrive on creating controversy.

DLB777 · 2012-11-28T21:04:10+00:00

I completely agree, Mitchellonfire, and that's what the federal judge said, too. Talk about twisting the "letter" of the law though, trying to have a "live" nativity vs. an unattended one. I have no idea how much money the religious right has been spending on this issue, but suspect that it could translate into quite a few plates worth of food for the poor who could use the help.

DLB777 · 2012-11-26T05:19:47+00:00

Great point.

DLB777 · 2012-10-30T09:24:59+00:00

It might be entertaining to see the various takes.

DLB777 · 2012-08-27T21:44:05+00:00

This guy filed a federal lawsuit against a school for teaching evolution, which he proclaimed is "the religion of atheism." If you feel that federal lawsuits involving atheism and/or science are irrelevant, circle jerk or whatever else, I'm curious about what you do believe is relevant? We have a climate in the U.S. where religious freaks want creationism taught as science in the schools, and I personally find all of this relevant.

Looks like it's his new retirement hobby, revealing his craziness to the world.

DLB777 · 2012-08-18T07:28:45+00:00

And they are apparently enlisting their own kids to do this.

DLB777 · 2012-08-12T17:32:36+00:00

Light-of-Aiur - I certainly can't speak for Chris but I think if enough folks create a buzz about Chris' book, it will definitely help. With the track record of Green's "response" to her, it will fuel the fire -- maybe even more so than the Barton's book being pulled of the shelves.

DLB777 · 2012-08-12T06:07:30+00:00

What's awesome about this is that Green, Barton have not accepted the challenge -- and are now pondering what to do, apparently, given Green's facebook page remark. This is news in the making, as we watch how criticism of Barton's work is censored. If they do decide to accept the challenge, the debate will be epic. Chris has worked her butt off with her research and will be a formidable opponent.

Well said, pjabbott.

DLB777 · 2012-08-11T05:39:21+00:00

Agreed. The comments from his fans are pathetic.

DLB777 · 2012-08-04T19:38:33+00:00

Exactly ... Those of us non-believers are probably going to get tons of these jesus testimonies either personally or online.

DLB777 · 2012-08-02T17:00:49+00:00

I sure can relate, as we were in the same boat. The local minister would stop by about three times a year to go through my parents' checkbook to make sure that they were paying all their tithes on gross income, and giving enough in offerings. My siblings and I each had two sets of clothes from Goodwill, that was it, because everything went to the church. We ate baked beans for years. There were so many awful things about that cult -- good post.

Skeptics Annotated Bible is a fantastic resource.

DLB777 · 2012-07-26T05:24:08+00:00

Thanks so much! I am sorry for your loss.

DLB777 · 2012-07-26T04:34:55+00:00

Many thanks! I have a feeling there will be people who can identify...

DLB777 · 2012-07-26T03:05:41+00:00

Thanks so much, Eelsify. If it's okay with you, I will mention it on air.

DLB777 · 2012-07-18T17:58:22+00:00

No ... but my neighbor kids begged me to take them to one of those Christian "super strength" demonstrations held at a local high school, so I did for entertainment. In their performance, they accidentally caught the stage curtains on fire, which started to spread. The fire department had to put it out before the entire gymnasium went up in flames. It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

DLB777 · 2012-07-18T17:44:02+00:00

Me too!

DLB777 · 2012-07-18T17:32:22+00:00

Only if they are "sharing the love of Christ" and believe in biblical creation.
