Last updated on: September 12, 2015 at 4:03 am By Frank Schaeffer

I don’t know how up you are on your Gilbert and Sullivan, but listen to this again here to refresh your mind of the tune and words of “I am the very model of a modern major general” then leave it playing in the background as you read the hilarious brilliant revamped lines by Jim Trumm (posted on his Facebook page) that forever take down...

How Billy Graham prepared the country for Donald Trump

Last updated on: September 2, 2015 at 7:07 am By Frank Schaeffer

photo religion.blogs.cnn.com photo www.nydailynews.comhoto, Billy Graham, prepared the country for Donald Trump, as it were. What a perfect match Tea Party delusion and evangelical delusion turned out to be. A new national poll released last Tuesday has found that a majority of the Republican Party is living in a fantasy-land. That delusion broke-brain state was created for them by evangelicals. Remember that 50 percent of Republican primary and caucus voters have been white evangelical, or born again, Christians, based on CBS News... Read more

Saudi Arabia’s export of Wahhabi puritanical Islam has been one of the worst things to happen to Muslim World

Last updated on: September 2, 2015 at 4:42 am By Frank Schaeffer

“Nothing has been more corrosive to the stability and modernization of the Arab world, and the Muslim world at large, than the billions and billions of dollars the Saudis have invested since the 1970s into wiping out the pluralism of Islam — the Sufi, moderate Sunni and Shiite versions — and imposing in its place the puritanical, anti-modern, anti-women, anti-Western, anti-pluralistic Wahhabi Salafist brand of Islam promoted by the Saudi religious establishment. “It is not an accident that several thousand...

Gay Teen Worried He Might Be Christian

Last updated on: August 27, 2015 at 11:23 am By Frank Schaeffer

LOUISVILLE, KY—At first glance, high school senior Lucas Faber, 18, seems like any ordinary gay teen. He’s a member of his school’s swing choir, enjoys shopping at the mall, and has sex with other males his age. But lately, a growing worry has begun to plague this young gay man. A gnawing feeling that, deep down, he may be a fundamentalist, right-wing Christian. “I don’t know what’s happening to me,” Faber admitted to reporters Monday. “It’s like I get these... Read more

Meet David Barton — the Evangelical Quack “Historian” Exposed as the Fake He Is

Last updated on: August 25, 2015 at 3:11 pm By Frank Schaeffer

David Barton is a dangerous fabricator of “facts” now used by the far right GOP/Tea Party to rewrite American history. For instance, drawn in part from the writings of Christian Reconstructionists, that narrative recasts modern-day Republicans as the racially inclusive party, and modern-day Democrats as the racists supportive of slavery and postemancipation racist policies. No kidding. You need to know about Barton and what he represents. Lucky for us Julie Ingersoll has literally written the book on Barton and his... Read more

Watch out Democrats running for office in 2016. Don’t leave the denunciation of rape for God up to Fox News and the Tea Party haters

Last updated on: August 13, 2015 at 9:26 am By Frank Schaeffer

A tipping point is being inexorably reached. Sometimes reality trumps ideals. Take the nice liberal fiction that the only problem between the rest of us and radical Islam is a series of misunderstandings or bad Western actors. Consider just one day’s (today’s) New York Times headlines. ISIS Enshrines a Theology of Rape, ISIS Affiliate in Egypt Says It Has Beheaded Croatian Prisoner and Nigeria: Boko Haram Is Said to Have a New Leader.

Jeb Bush You Are a Liar

Last updated on: August 14, 2015 at 4:48 pm By Frank Schaeffer

(Photo AP) According to the Los Angeles Times, Jeb Bush just blamed President Obama and Hillary Clinton for the decline, war and mess in Iraq. That’s like blaming Winston Churchill for World War Two and giving Hitler a pass. In what his campaign billed as a major speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Bush… blamed the Obama administration — and its former secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton — for the rise of the Islamic State militant group, also known as...
