Warren Chisum, the wingnut head of the Texas Appropriations Committee, doesn’t believe that the earth revolves around the sun, and is sending his fellow Texas legislators a memo promoting FixedEarth.com, a site devoted to “debunking” Copernicus. Accorded to the site, everything from Darwin to the Big Bang is a “Kabbalist” conspiracy. According to a Daily Kos diarist, Chisum may just …

Christian rightwingers have set up ObamaNation.com to attack Sen. Barack Obama’s views on gay rights and abortion. The director of the group, Pastor Clenard H. Childress, Jr, says, “60 percent of all new AIDS cases in America will be the result of the violation of Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:27 (men having sex with men). If he were to become …

Ted Haggard is completely heterosexual. And in other news, I love pussy. “Completely.”.

This weekend I was hipped to the latest YouTube phenom, Mr.Deity, a series of hilarious film shorts that skewer Christian dogma, starring a nelly, distracted Mr.Deity as director of the universe and his Smithers-ish assistant, Larry. And check out the super-hot faux-hawked Jesus that appears in Episode 2. .

“Jesus is starting to put me back together. I have spent so much time in repentance, brokenness, hurt and sorrow for the things I’ve done and the negative impact my actions have had on others.” – Ted Haggard, in an email accidentally sent to a Colorado radio station, in which he announces that he and his wife have decided to …

The Church Of Scientology thinks that Tom Cruise is the messiah. I don’t know, I always expected God to be, you know, taller. And a top..

“A couple of ladies cried when they were touching me. I was thanked for exposing the church, for helping Ted Haggard. A couple of them said they hoped I get God into my life. And they all said ‘God bless you,’ every one of them.” – Mike Jones, recounting his warm reception upon his visit to Ted Haggard’s New Life …

Thanks to the sleuthing of Dallas JMG reader Bob Stoller, “Pastor Donnie Davies” has been exposed as Dallas-area actor Joey Oglesby (First name corrected from post headline). Here he is. Joey Oglesby recently appeared in a production of Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical. Joey Oglesby is a former member of the Chicken & Pickle Guys sketch comedy duo. Finally. Our …

I’m getting a bit tired of this drawn out drama. Here’s Davies’ third performance. He cries about being mocked for his weight again, “I can dunk a basketball!” Still, his acting continues to be flawless and the logo is damn funny. Check out the crane shot at the end. This ain’t no cheap production..

UPDATE: The “real” Davies exposed: HERE. After an almost 48-hour run of speculation that has gripped the gay blogosphere, tenacious and smart JMG reader “Chrome” (a frequent commenter here), wrote to me early this morning with his conclusion that “Ex-gay” Pastor Donnie Davies is actually actor/musician/improv performer Todd Quillen. Quillen’s personal site is here, his Yahoo photo album is here. …

OK, this is driving me slightly mad. Davies’ Mona Lisa smile in this latest video make me strongly suspect that he’s been having a field day at the expense of the gay blogosphere. But as I’ve said from the start, satire or not, the entire production has been brilliant pro-gay PR. Today, I’m more leaning towards believing that Davies is …

I really hope YouTube Google MySpace keeps this video up, it’s beautiful PR for gay activism. I mean, COME ON, take a swishy bear in a PINK shirt and have him sing about fighting homo temptation? It’s GOLD, Jerry! And the line “To enter heaven, there’s no backdoor”? Priceless. And check out the list of gay bands to stay away …

“…but my lover Georg here is hung like an Italian mule! I’m the luckiest bottom in Vatican City!”.
