Here’s the story. Beyond that, I got nothing. Seriously. Nothing.

The people we place in charge of us are so awesome. They’re proof that anyone can ‘make it’ here in the land of the free. Take, for instance, the lean mean fighting machine that is Oklahoma State Representative Dennis Johnson: After watching this clip, my friend Michael added, “They’re also good at throwing Christian babies […]

Bisexual Alysia Yeoh is the first transgender character in the DC Universe. It’s a universe that, apparently, takes its time with this sort of thing. What was once dismissed as an impossibility by the CCA (Comics Code Authority), has now become a reality in the mainstream comic book world of DC Comics. Of course, outside of […]

So, if I were teaching at Liberty University (stop laughing, I’m speaking hypothetically–seriously, stop laughing, geez), I wouldn’t be allow to show R-rated films or say the word ‘damn’, but I could, along with my students, carry a loaded gun to class.

A part of me is thinking, just drop it. Don’t cover this stuff. There are only TWO representatives lobbying for Christianity as the state religion in North Carolina. Two wackos. That’s it.

I can’t believe we had to vote on that one, but still […]

I’ve recently had the lovely pleasure of reading an incredibly smart, crafty and erudite book, Masters of the Grotesque: The Cinema of Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, the Coen Brothers and David Lynch. This is the kind of book that most of us want to write, but very few of us could actually write. Schuy Weishaar […]

I often use the strip below in some of my courses to discuss Feuerbach, Augustine, and the genius that is Bill Watterson. It never goes as well as it should. Why do you think that is the case? I mean, isn’t the kind of theological conversation that should follow from this two panel piece of […]
