Reformed Chicks Blabbing

Not just for aid but because of the change that conversion brings: Now a confirmed atheist, I’ve become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do.…

As I was watching this video of Chris LaTondresse of RecoveringEvangelical.com, I realized that the post-RR (religious right) Evangelicals are just as superficial in their biblical exegesis as their parents (if this guy speaks for the whole movement):LaTondresse states that there are more Bible verses dealing with the poor than there are dealing with homosexuality…

Actually, it might be past time but I was rereading “The Eight” yesterday because I want to read the sequel, “The Fire” and I had totally forgotten the story (which is excellent, I highly recommend it). Anyway, what’s with stealing the baby Jesus? Why can’t people just let other people celebrate their holiday in peace?…

Returns it and doesn’t even get a reward. An elderly woman took her money out of the bank and sealed it in a box of crackers and then returned it to the Whole Foods by accident (at least that’s what she claimed): Debra had purchased the crackers earlier in the week at Whole Foods at…

While declining to elaborate, Disney and Walden Media confirmed Tuesday that for budgetary and logistical reasons the Burbank-based studio is not…

I’m having technical difficulties today with the blog! So, who knows if you’ll get to read this or not. I would be very upset if my one post of the day is on the number one iPhone app! I hope you’re enjoying your Christmas celebration! I’ve been up since 4:00 preparing for guests, I hope…

Classy! I guess that the majority of iPhone users are middle school boys? (via)

This is what happens when churches borrow to expand. Yes, I know it’s hard to get the money up front through donations but it’s a black eye on the church to go through Chapter 11. When we take on debt, we are obligated to pay it back, all of it! Otherwise, that’s stealing. During this…

Here’s a video of Rick Warren proclaiming his love of gays and straights at a Muslim conference (he also told them that he loved Muslims): Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy I’m really glad that Obama picked Warren to deliver the invocation because he gets it. He gets what’s…
