Banksy’s Cinderella crash scene. Photograph: David Levene for the Guardian used by permission Banksy strikes again, come Lord Banksy, come quickly! Banksy’s UK show, Dismaland closed today. Did you miss it? Check this out! He describes it as a “family theme park unsuitable for small children” – and with the Grim Reaper and Cinderella mangled in her pumpkin carriage crash, this is a breath of fresh air– to me anyway.

Do You Think the Pope’s Visit Actually Means Anything?

Last updated on: September 25, 2015 at 7:42 am By Frank Schaeffer

Will Pope Francis’ visit mean anything more than a chance for the media to sell advertising? I can’t answer that but I can tell you that I doubt his fellow “Christians” on the religious right will change anything because of his visit. Take, Indiana Sen. Dan Coats, who said of Francis’ statements on income inequality, “I’m always concerned about those who are bringing spiritual messages that step too far over the line in terms of political issues.” Check out Coats’...

Is Ann Coulter an anti-Semite?

Last updated on: September 18, 2015 at 2:08 pm By Frank Schaeffer

Is Ann Coulter an anti-Semite? She asks “How many f—ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?” I only met Coulter once and she struck me as self-involved to the point of delusion but sane. So maybe this crazy tilt to Jew-baiting is all one of a piece of where the GOP tribe is headed and not just a crazed rant. Prediction: if Trump can get away with overt racism , Coulter can lead the Tea Party tribe to... Read more

ENTER ! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKY PUPPY!

Last updated on: September 19, 2015 at 1:40 pm By Frank Schaeffer

My friend Dave Felten of Living the Question, did me a huge favor: he took me to a Snarky Puppy concert in Boston last night. Being filled with joy by Snarky Puppy’s performance was a terrific experience. They are on a 3-month tour. This was one of their first gigs. If they play with the energy and unreserved empathy they shared with us on the rest of their global tour I wonder if they will survive! Puppy gave us everything-plus. Snarky Puppy serves as a great example of a timeless... Read more

You’ll Feel Better about America, Joe Biden and Politics When you Watch Him With Colbert

Last updated on: September 16, 2015 at 10:32 am By Frank Schaeffer

(Photo credit CBS used by permission) I very much hope Joe Biden runs. Here’s another reason why. Do watch Colbert interview him… not your usual politics interview and it cuts to the heart of living a deep religious faith too… this is what religion can mean… if he wins the presidency I’ll bet they will someday say it all started with this interview… WATCH Part1 WATCH Part 2 Frank Schaeffer is a writer.

Watch Bernie Sanders Say What I Wish I’d Said to Liberty U 40 Years Ago When I Spoke at Liberty

Last updated on: September 14, 2015 at 4:26 pm By Frank Schaeffer

(Photo NBC News, used by permission) Watch Bernie Sanders do what I should have done when I spoke at Liberty College 40 years ago. Rev. Jerry Falwell introduced me as a “great hope” for “Christian America.” Not so much any more 🙂 … Now watch Bernie Sanders say what I wish I’d been saying then. BTW my talk given to the entire student body and my sermon (2 actually) preached from the Liberty Baptist pulpit mysteriously disappeared out of the... Read more
