Covering and Curating Stories About Faith. Unfiltered & Unapologetic.
If your faith demands that you obsess over what consenting adults do in private rather than tending to the poor, the sick, and the outcast then perhaps it’s not Christianity you follow, but a prejudiced echo chamber wearing a cross.

The absolute state of Twitter.

Grotesque.

Classic cowardice, not conviction. Maybe try reading history instead of conspiracy nonsense.

Religion, Twitter | #religion #jews #twitter

For your antisemitic bilge about “Jews in power,” it takes a special kind of coward to blame an entire people for your own intellectual impotence.

Delicate jewels taken from British-occupied India in 1898—believed to be tied to Buddha—are now up for auction, sparking a legal fight between India and Sotheby’s, which is selling them for descendants of the explorer who found them.

Catholic, Cardinal | #religion

A man kisses the hand of Cardinal William Seng Chye Goh.

Maybe ask about all the scandals before you kneel.

They’ve done nothing to deserve such reverence.

Islam, Mohammed Hijab | A man who calls pedophilia “relative” deserves neither a platform nor patience but only the contempt reserved for those who mistake depravity for debate. This isn’t philosophy. It’s the desperate flailing of a mind allergic to morality.

Islam | "Outrage has erupted over shocking comments made by Mohammed Hijab defending child sex and claiming pedophilia is "relative." This unacceptable statement must be condemned in the strongest terms." - Briefly

At the creationist, anti-science School of Fire, run by a rambling psychopath, expect nothing but abuse and intellectual dishonesty. Critical thinking is crushed, reality is twisted, and blind loyalty is the only curriculum.

Pastor Rooies Strauss is a prime example of what happens when dangerous rhetoric meets unchecked power. From claiming autism and homosexuality are demon-induced to aggressively confronting students at School of Fire Ministries, his actions are both harmful and utterly irresponsible.

Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, forced to resign after Grindr use was exposed, now sues. He's claiming he didn’t know the app required arbitration. A would-be bishop undone by terms and conditions.

"allegedly convinced her that reaching an orgasm would bring her closer to Allah"

Texas imam Wisam Sharieff.

Poster boy for AlMaghrib and self-anointed guardian of Qur’anic literacy.

The halo slips and the headlines catch up.

Revolting abuse of power.

Pastor Rick Morrow’s claim that autism is caused by demonic forces and can be treated by 'just casting the demon out' isn’t just medically ignorant but it’s theologically bankrupt.

Pastor Rooies Strauss Declares Autism Is Demonic Possession. Because in the 21st century, where science has mapped the human genome, developed life-saving treatments, and unraveled countless medical mysteries, the real answer to autism is clearly... demon exorcism.

Invoking Islam to justify bigotry is not faith. It's cowardice in clerical drag.
