The Bible is Weirder than You Think: According to Scripture Jesus Was Bisexual since Both Men and Women Are the “Bride of Christ”

Last updated on: May 7, 2015 at 1:17 pm By Frank Schaeffer

According to nice evangelical standards, the Bible is odd. Sorry but it is. Or maybe the Bible is normal and it’s evangelicals who are odd. I mean according to the Bible Jesus was transgender… So why do evangelicals have problems embracing the full range of sexuality? I mean if you were raised on the Bible as I was we all just got used to certain turns of phrase, for instance the “Bride of Christ.” Is Jesus going to have sex with his chosen?... Read more

I’ll be on MSNBC tonight at 6:30 EST talking about Mike Huckabee and the evangelical “victimology.” Here’s the background of my family connection Mike Huckabee’s pro-life views were shaped by Francis Schaeffer’s book and film “Whatever happened to the human race?” Mike Huckabee’s pro-life views were shaped by Francis Schaeffer’s book and film “Whatever happened to the human race?” According to Wikipedia: Mike Huckabee, while he was a presidential candidate, named the late Religious Right leader Francis Schaeffer‘s Whatever Happened...

“As an ultimate fuck you to rule-keeping scripture zealots everywhere, Jesus hung out with whores… The stories about Jesus that survived the bigots, opportunists and delusional fanatics who wrote the New Testament contain powerful and enlightened truths that would someday prove the undoing of the Church built in his name….” (You are reading an excerpt from my book.

Hey Atheists and Christians: Stop Wasting Your Lives Worrying About God!

Last updated on: May 1, 2015 at 8:53 am By Frank Schaeffer

If God is the problem why are so many atheists I know small minded jerks? If Jesus saves why are so many Christians I know small minded jerks? How much of your life have you wasted on God? Atheists’ lives are ruined worrying about how much they hate God. Evangelicals have fucked up the country worrying that everyone else isn’t worried– enough about what “God” “wants.” As I argue in my new book WHY I AM AN ATHEIST WHO BELIEVES IN... Read more

Is Bill Maher a Bigot? The Answer is in His Movie “Religulous”

Last updated on: April 27, 2015 at 7:53 am By Frank Schaeffer

In the last few months there have been a chorus of anti-Bill Maher articles in the liberal/left press. For instance Salon has published a series of articles accusing Maher of bigotry. In “7 times Bill Maher was a straight-up bigot” Joanna Rothkopf writes this in Salon: Bill Maher’s long, illustrious career is perhaps, more than anything else, an excellent example of mass public manipulation. Under the guise of being a liberal comedian, he has managed to build for himself an ultra-successful... Read more

If God Created Women to Make Babies Why Does the Female Orgasm Have Nothing to do With Procreation?

Last updated on: April 25, 2015 at 8:37 am By Frank Schaeffer

If you believe that God created women then you have to believe that sex is just for pleasure. If that’s not true then why does the anatomy of the female orgasm have nothing to do with procreation? If God made women then He, She or It made women’s sexual equipment for pleasure first– and babies second. In other words the basic Christian doctrine of sex has to be that orgasms are intrinsically good and need no justification. The clitoris is outside the... Read more
