Sorry to link to such distasteful sources, but I was reading some political news today and found a couple of right-wing sites discussing a flyer Obama recently released to court Kentucky voters.

Via Deep Thoughts by way of Barefoot Bum, it seems we have ourselves a My First Idiotic Fundie Blog. Mojoey pegs him as a teenager, but I would like to think that teens are more mature than this (even though I know better :P). I would say the blog is riddled with logical fallacies, except [...]

Christians insist that their religion preaches nothing but love. Unfortunately, their holy book, given an impartial reading, reveals itself unmistakably to have been written by worshippers of an angry, vengeful tribal war god.

Judges 19
