Each week the Daily Kos group, This Week in the War on Women, covers the most egregious attacks made on women by their elected officials, the right-wing media, Tea-Party and original-flavored Republicans, the religious right, and general misogynists of every race and both genders.

While it is of the utmost importance that these stories be told, it is easy to lose sight of the successes that are being made – especially when they seem to be so few, hard won and far between. All the more reason to remind ourselves to share these small victories when we have them – our outrage and our efforts are not in vain.

According to Christian extraordinaire Ray Comfort, the New Zealand-born evangelical minister, "For an atheist, a starving child is no big deal, because it's just evolution's “survival of the fittest” in action."

Yes. Comfort actually posted that comment as part of a 10-part answer on Facebook as a legitimate response to a question posed by one of his followers.

And then he said even more: Read More

So sayeth the Lord...and Ken Ham.

Friends, after watching the movie Noah last night creationist Ken Ham feels dirty.

According to his blog at Answers in Genesis, Ham takes issue with several details.

It’s as if someone heard the name Noah, and that there was a Flood and an Ark, and then made up a pagan movie about it. I don’t think there is anything else that really has to do with the Bible’s account except some names of people! For example, Methuselah is some sort of witch doctor who can do magical things. There is much more I could say about it—so much more. And what’s with the bizarre fallen angels being living rocks that help Noah?

Anyone who knows the good book knows that Methuselah is only mentioned briefly in one chapter in the Hebrew bible. Hardly a major player. Beyond his age and lineage—we know nothing. Poppycock!

And those angelic rock monsters he speaks of? Where the hell did they come from? (No pun intended.) Utter nonsense!

But wait folks. Do you want to know what really gets Ken Ham’s sacrificial goat?

Representatives of a well known faith-based charitable organization were refused a New Jersey bank’s notarization service by an atheist employee. After inquiring about the nature of the non-profit organization and the documents requiring notarization, one of the bank’s assistant managers claimed she couldn't witness the signatures or attach the State's official notary seal to the documents because of "personal reasons."

The Christians later related the story in a Facebook post saying, “Even though we had a valid, legal document and valid, legal identification — she was legally able to refuse me service.”

Wait…what? No. It didn't happen that way at all.

The very foundation of Christianity is based on the idea of persecution and oppression. According to scripture, Jesus was persecuted by the Pharisees for his heterodoxy. However, in context to Jewish law of the first century, the persecution and subsequent crucifixion of Jesus might be more aptly described as merely a "punishment" for His unrestrained variance with conventional Jewish doctrine of the time.

At the risk of making a few Christians angry—He broke the law and He was punished accordingly.

Christ’s martyrdom on the cross is the foundation of Christianity. It established the lucrative and sensational martyr complex for the next two thousand years. To be Christ-like, a Christian must be persecuted—or at least claim to be persecuted, and proclaim it loudly, because:

To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. (1 Peter 2:21)
