What the History Channel has Taught Me About Jesus
January 19, 2009
By Paul Cat
1. He never existed.
2. He did exist, but he was only a man.
3. He was gay.
4. He was a woman.
5. He was married to Mary of Magdeline (I guess this makes him a lesbian.)
6. His real father was a Roman soldier named Pantera who secretly knocked up Mary.
7. He really just repacked Hinduism and Buddhism.
8. The Gospels are simply the sum total composite image of Christ from the early Christian communities. Therefore he was not God, but was mistaken for being God …

Exorcist Bob Larson stars in reality show
November 11, 2008
… according to this recent story in the Toledo Blade (HT: Hip and Thigh):
“The Rev. Bob Larson has been circling the globe for decades, battling Satan and his minions with a Bible and a cross. Now you can watch him cast out demons from the comfort of your couch. … The Real Exorcist premieres in a four-hour marathon on the Sci-Fi Channel on Thursday night - not coincidentally, it’s Halloween eve.”
“Top 10 Wily, Wonderful, and Wicked Witches”
October 31, 2008
A list of witches from film, literature and elsewhere by Esther Kustanowitz at Idol Chatter:
“2. The Three Weird Sisters, from “Macbeth.” “Double, double, toil and trouble…fire burn, and cauldron bubble.” I memorized this scene in high school, and I still remember it. The “weird sisters,” as these witches are known, were the voice of prophecy, and they shared with Macbeth the prophecies that guide his actions and understanding of events.”
Fox anchor Brit Hume discusses his faith
October 30, 2008
… in a story by Matea Gold in the LA Times (HT: Terry Mattingly):
“As he prepares to anchor his last presidential campaign, Hume said he’s eager to immerse himself in a more spiritual life after dwelling for so long in the secular. The anchor described himself as a ‘nominal Christian’ until 10 years ago, when his son Sandy committed suicide at age 28.
‘I feel like I was really kind of saved when my son died by faith and by the grace of God, and that’s very much on my consciousness,’ said Hume, who plans to get more involved in his wife’s Bible study group.”
