Missionary Positions
I found this at Jesus’ General. I’d somehow managed to miss this, so in the off-chance that you’re roughly as out-of-touch as I am, be advised: We apparently withdrew the embedded reporters in favor of embedded missionaries. God, protect us from your followers, indeed. They appear to be doing good things over there. Humanitarian things, even. But [...]

You Just Don’t Love America, Do You?
Greetings Otherwhirlders! Here I am, the “new kid” on the “otherblock” and a religious one at that. Some of you know me, some of you don’t. You can learn more about me by picking your way through the rants over at my blog should you be so inclined. Feel free not to. So, despite my [...]

Howdy, Ben!
this idea was lifted shamelessly from Bing, with quaint additions to the image tags and link titles, and interesting changes to the file names, to completely muck up the google image searching and otherwise make life more enjoyable for people like Bing! because i’m just nice that way!

Because I’m an egotistical son-of-a-dork.

The Bat seriously makes me wish I had more time to actually write. Well, maybe that’s changing, and maybe that’s [...]

Because Theocracy Leads to Permissible Extremism, THAT’s Why!
I cannot recall how many people I’ve spoken with, either via blogs or in-person, who reacted with the word “But nobody wants a theocracy in America” whenever I bring the subject up. And indeed, until recently, there wasn’t really a specific push to alter our Constitution in any formative way, and the only reason [...]

An Otherwhirledly Easter!
Before we get started today, let’s review: While pointedly about the infestation, for lack of a better word, of Christianity into our political and legal cultures, I believe that this post does adhere to the standards set forth in the Blog Against Theocracy.

Revisiting Sciolism
One of the main things I see at the root of these attempts for a theocratic state is sciolism. Last year for this blogswarm, I wrote two posts on this subject. To get things started off this year, please allow me to draw your attention to those two posts again. I think they’re worth [...]
