My late grandfather used to say: “Jesus was a communist!” — and he meant that as an endorsement. Seems he was not alone.

Meet The Arc’s
Not only does this article about how “America is simultaneously the most professedly Christian of the developed nations and the least Christian in its behavior” raise some good points, I also found it inadvertently funny. It states for instance that twelve percent of Americans believe Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife. Hahaha!
Woodism
The basic premise of Woodism coincides with what we believe was the basic premise of Ed Wood himself, which is the constant search for happiness. There are no specific practices other than to constantly be proud of who you are, accept others, and don’t let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn’t do.
Habemus Conservative Rock-hater
Former cardinal now pope Ratzinger (you know, the guy that made it from Hitler Youth to the Vatican) talks about Pop Devil Music in this 1996 Times article:
[…] he also warned the young against the “subliminal” satanic influence to be found in songs by such groups as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin and the Eagles. Vatican officials identified some of the “worst offenders” as Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath and AC/DC, whose initials they claimed referred not to alternating current or even bisexuality, but to the satanic phrase “Anti-Christ, Death to Christ”.
The Eagles, I ask?
Spider Of Destiny
Have you ever stopped to think how lucky God was to have the help of Spiderman?
Catholic Girls
“Not only can we date cute guys, but hopefully we can lead them to God and help them get saved from the burning fires of Hell. I’ve outlined a few tips to help you date cute heathen guys, step-by-step.”
Wacky Krishums
Say what? Christian Wrestling.
I can hear the commentary for this:
— Ooh Kaïn took a mean hit there!
— Yeah, ya don’t mess with Abel and get away with it.
— Wait – there’s Mozes in the rebound!
— A miraculous turn of events here at Mount Sinaï Stadium!
Next, no doubt: Buddhist Boxing and Taoist Tennis.
Celine’s Spells
Does the life you been leadin’ gotta go? Well let Celine straighten you out! “I have been doing love spell’s since the age of 16 years old. All my spell’s are done only trough white magic power full prayer and meditation” Wonderful spelling allright.

Waiter, There’s A Virgin Mary On My Toast
“You are viewing an extroidinary out of this world item!! I made this sandwich 10 years ago, when I took a bite out of it, I saw a face looking up at me, It was Virgin Mary starring back at me!”
In Praise of Kitties
Woman builds church. In lego. For her cat. (Which, by the way, shows a striking resemblence to our feline lodger.)
Jerry & The Jets
Cruising with Jerry and the Jets: “Enjoy the teaching and fellowship of Dr. Jerry Falwell, Chancellor of Liberty University and Pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church, on this adventure of a lifetime!”
Fast For Bush
People That Have Gone Bonkers, Part 54874367: “God is raising up multitudes of Christians to fast and pray for the holiness of President George W. Bush and our nation. Join us in God’s grassroots movement.”
Just Some Jizz From Jimmy Boy
“I’m trying to find the correct name for it … this utter absolute, asinine, idiotic stupidity of men marrying men. … I’ve never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. And I’m gonna be blunt and plain; if one ever looks at me like that, I’m gonna kill him and tell God he died.” — Jimmy Swaggart.
Falwell Down the Fall
On Sept. 10, 1987, Jerry Falwell promised he’d go down the Typhoon waterslide at Heritage Island if 1,000 people donated $1,000 to the faltering PTL. Of course, 1,000 people did. Religion really doesn’t get any better than this! (via sharpeworld)
