Who cares about the Qu'ran But the nail through the wafer is just obscene. That guy should lose his job. I hope that McCain enacts some stricter free speech laws when he is elected. Christianity is sacred, and should not be mocked. Praise Jesus and vote GOP in '08!!! posted by pineal on Jul. 25, 08 at 9:21 AM | ShareThis

In case you missed it, PZ Meyers has created quite a stir by taking a consecrated wafer from a Catholic Church with the express intent of desecrating it. He has a point, naturally: By the way, I didn’t want to single out just the cracker, so I nailed it to a few ripped-out pages from the [...]

BY JAMES DOOLITTLE Mom’s Italian. 100%. And while she could have poured the over-exuberant passion that is the genetic cross my people bear into anything obvious - food, language, Catholicism, music, Sophia Loren - she opted at an early age to funnel my genetic disposition into her love for the cinema.

I never thought I’d live to see the day that a church’s moral teachings are said to be “hateful” “defamatory” “insensitive” and “ignorant”. Wow! That must be SOME church! Turns out, it’s not just one church, but ALL churches within that religion. And what religion is that? The Catholic Church. Yep, that’s right. A San Francisco [...]
