Bay of Fundie

I stumbled across the blog of a guy named Nathan Bradfield. He says his articles are also posted at Stop the ACLU. He calls his blog “Church and State”, as in he thinks they should be one and the same. A recent article he wrote is called Using Tax Dollars to Fund [...]

I was looking around the website of One News Now, which is one of the major fundie “news” sites. Right there on the front page, I saw that they had a link to Persecution News! That’s right. The fundies are so convinced they’re being persecuted that they have devoted an entire section [...]

The American Atheists have issued a press release, Cross Victory:
A federal court ruled Tuesday that the city of Starke, Fla. violated the federal and state constitutions by placing and maintaining a metal Christian cross on top of a municipal water tower.

As a follow-up to my article about Wikipedia and Conservapedia, here’s an article from MSNBC, The Word on Wikipedia: Trust but Verify.

(BTW, the major levels are Kingdom, Phylum (for animals, but “Division” for plants and fungi), Class, [...]

There was a passing reference to “Wisdom Booklets” in my last post. I was curious to find out more, so I embarked upon an internet quest. It took about a minute. Quests today just don’t have the same epic quality as quests of yore.
Wisdom Booklets are teaching materials for home-schoolers. They [...]

Let’s return to the Duggar family, the God-fearing, Velveeta-loving fundies of Arkansas.

I’m continuing our exploration of the Duggar family web site for three reasons:
1. It’s funny.
2. It’s scary.
