Mississippi’s so-called “religious freedom bill,” an Arizona-style attempt to make it legal for businesses to refuse customers based on “sincerely held religious beliefs,” was thought by many to be dead for the current legislative session. But tonight, with just 72 hours left on the legislative calendar, the state House and Senate both rushed through their debates and approved the bill …

Todd Starnes writes for Fox News: A Florida school district is giving teachers a refresher course on religious liberty after the parents of a five-year-old kindergarten student said a teacher told their daughter that she was not allowed to pray before eating her lunch time meal. Marcos Perez, of Oviedo, Fla., said the incident occurred earlier this month in the …

“I frankly don’t understand why the judge elected to pass on a discussion of some of the very real concerns our research raised. It’s as if raising standard methodological issues on this subject is just unwelcome today, unless it’s clear that you are friendly to the political goals of the same-sex marriage movement. My study noted numerous suboptimal outcomes experienced …

“A preferred ploy of left-wing change agents is to ridicule critics when they point out the undeniable parallels between the goals of today’s ‘progressive’ movement, to include the Democratic Party in general, and the goals of the early, and very much still alive, communist movement. If, for instance, one mentions the historical fact that nearly every adult who, at any …

“Now is the time for every church that works with World Vision, every Christian musician and artist that partners with World Vision, and every believer that supports World Vision to inform them that they have made a terrible choice and that they will no longer have your support. And for every child who will fall through the cracks because of …

Via the Christianist site OneNewsNow: A coalition of Christian organizations has posted a billboard supporting the religious freedom of Christian cadets. The Restore Military Religious Freedom Coalition sponsored the billboard near one of the entrances to the [Air Force] Academy which asks Air Force cadets “Are you free to say so help me God? They did,” against a background of …

And Pat Robertson knows a LOT about polishing diamonds.

“My beef is not with the director of Noah. He’s an atheist—he doesn’t know better. My beef is with Christian leaders trying to guilt-trip us into going to see the film. It’s as if we have some sort of moral obligation to throw our good money at a movie that makes a mockery of the Bible. ‘It’s embarrassing to belong …

Britain’s very gay-friendly Channel 4 yesterday broadcast the below interview with Scott Lively. The interviewer confronted Lively about his responsibility for Uganda’s brutal anti-gay crackdown: When I went on to point out that the President Obama is “wholeheartedly” against this legislation, Dr Lively chuckled and said: “I think Obama may as well be a homosexual himself. He is certainly a …

Faith Driven Consumer, a Christian group that organizes boycotts (which we homofascists are not allowed to do) today issued a press release declaring that Noah has flopped in the first weekend of its release. After an opening paragraph that praises the box office performance of Passion Of The Christ, their press release continues: By contrast NOAH, a film with a …

“The National Organization for Marriage is joining together with The Manhattan Declaration and Christian Union, along with many other pro-family organizations, to support World Vision for its courage in the face of what must be intense pressure from the same-sex ‘marriage’ lobby. We know too well how intolerant and vicious the activists out to redefine marriage and family can be. …

The virulently anti-gay World Congress of Families, an international coalition of hate groups that includes NOM and C-FAM, whose head Austin Ruse has endorsed the gay death penalty, has suspended their plans to hold this year’s convention in Moscow. They love love love Russia’s crackdown on LGBT people, but this Crimea thing has them worried. Via press release: Planning on …

“The honeymoon for same-sex ‘marriage’ was a short one in Michigan. Twenty-four hours after District Judge Bernard Friedman struck down the state’s marriage amendment, the 6th Circuit Court came to Michigan’s aid — ordering a halt to the ‘weddings’ that had broken out in four counties on Friday night. In some regions, clerks’ offices stayed open through the night and …

If all 300+ million of us don’t drop to our knees, God will totes put America in the Burn Book and the smiting will commence with No Sweatpants Mondays.

Famed cartoonist Mark Fiore writes: Since Uganda’s anti-gay law was signed recently, it’s been amusing (and maddening) to watch various religious right characters scurry for cover. When nobody was watching, the holier-than-thou set have been visiting Uganda preaching their extreme anti-gay views. Now that people are appalled at Uganda’s life-in-prison-for-homosexuals law, the “evangelical” right-wing preachers are laying low or rewriting …

“Guys, I’m here to tell you, the ‘social issues’ aren’t going away. But keep up this fatalistic nonsense and the GOP’s Christian-conservative base just might. Morality-minded Americans are sick of it, and we will choose fidelity to principle over surrender to ill-perceived ‘pragmatism’ every time. Take presidential wannabe Rand Paul. This guy, who, by all appearances, was shaping up to …

From the Family Research Council prayer team: The Maryland Senate has already passed and it is predicted that the Maryland House will pass what has come to be called the “Maryland Bathroom Bill,” HB1265. The bill, like many around the country, is supposedly intended to prevent discrimination against people who identify as transgendered and transvestite, but would extend a “right” …

“As certainly Sen. Paul knows, the President is on an anti-family, anti-life, anti-marriage, anti-religious liberty crusade, using the power of the presidency, executive orders regulation, pressure from the Justice Department, to undermine basic institutions of our country and of our culture. I think he’s hurting himself. And I think once this becomes more widely known, I believe it will hurt …

“Judge Friedman has negated the vote of 2.7 million voters in the State of Michigan. Moreover, he has said to the almost 70 percent of Black citizens who voted in favor of marriage protection that our voting rights are no longer protected. Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and our forefathers apparently died in vain.” – Rev. Roland Caldwell. …

“The Court finds Regnerus’s testimony entirely unbelievable and not worthy of serious consideration. The evidence adduced at trial demonstrated that his 2012 ‘study’ was hastily concocted at the behest of a third-party funder, which found it ‘essential that the necessary data be gathered to settle the question in the forum of public debate about what kinds of family arrangement are …
