America's Crazy Christians



Christianity Fucks Up Sex

Wednesday, 5 March 2008 9:30 A GMT+01
Sexual repression comes from Christianity, especially from America's rigid and pale fundamentalist "core." Premarital sex is evil. Female sexuality must be, as ever, contained, repressed, shoved deep down lest it tempt men to sin like gleeful pagans.

Obama Worship: The New Messiah [Echoes of Fascism]

Wednesday, 27 February 2008 9:44 A GMT+01
Clinton's caricature of Obama as the new Messiah: "I could just stand up here and say the sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect."

Revolting Republicans: Holy Hypocrites [Sex, Sodomy & Pedophiles]

Friday, 15 February 2008 9:44 A GMT+01
Republican party politicos rage against gay marriage, abortion, homosexuality, adultery, feminism, crime, stem-cell research, secularism, and liberalism - all of which they tend to lump together as different facets of the same evil decadence.

Homo-Eroticism & Christianity

Tuesday, 12 February 2008 9:41 A GMT+01
How did a burly, middle-aged soldier become an enduring, homo-erotic icon? St Sebastian's appeal to gay men is obvious. He was young, male, apparently unmarried and martyred by the establishment. He also looks good in a loincloth and tied to a tree.

God, Sex & Repression

Wednesday, 16 January 2008 9:51 A GMT+01
American culture demands that we control our impulses and desires - especially sexual desires - enough to live up to the moral rules. The quest for certainty focuses on a "control of self" that "through discipline" finally becomes self-control.

Celebrity Worship: Jesus Christ! [Marketing a Pop Icon]

Monday, 31 December 2007 10:11 A GMT+01
Jesus now has his own clothing line. Kids everywhere are sporting his 'hip' image on T-shirts, proclaiming “Jesus is my Homeboy too”. If that's not enough to show how much you like Jesus, you can also order the mug, bumper sticker, or dog tag.

Republican Hypocrisy: Maintaining the Hate in God's Own Party

Thursday, 20 December 2007 10:16 A GMT+01
The most depressing thing about the Republican presidential race is that the party's rank and file require candidates to grow meaner with each passing week. Christmas couldn't be better calibrated to expose the Republicans' rank, fetid hypocrisy.

"South Park" Takes the Piss out of Mormons

Monday, 17 December 2007 8:55 A GMT+01
I am willing to admit that I might be completely wrong about God. After all, Donny and Marie Osmond are reuniting. It seems so improbable that there is interest in them that even immaculate conception seems plausible to me now.

A Speech from Our Presidential Candidate: "You Know Jesus Loves Me"

Thursday, 13 December 2007 10:31 A GMT+01
"Let me make something clear. If elected president of this great, God-fearing country, my religion ? which many of you know is a combination of Southern Baptist-Catholic-Greek Orthodox-high-holidays Judaism ? will never, ever sway my judgement."

Sex & Repression: Christian 'Fundies' Adopt the Missionary Position

Thursday, 13 December 2007 10:30 A GMT+01
They do not trust their own urges, their capacity for self-restraint or judgment. The Christian right forces its followers to project evil outward, a convenient escape for people unable to face the darkness and psychological torments within them.

Christian Extremists Are Sexual Deviants: "I'm Staying a Virgin for Daddy"

Tuesday, 11 December 2007 9:34 A GMT+01
Father-daughter purity balls are increasingly popular among conservative Christians in the campaign for abstinence instead of condoms. "I'm devoting my virginity to my dad, saying that I will stay pure because it is the Christian thing to do."

Fuck Faith: God-Fearing Republicans Are Bible-Thumping Extremists

Sunday, 9 December 2007 7:03 P GMT+01
Phonies like Huckabee and Romney complain constantly about the supposed religious intolerance of secular liberals. But liberals - including agnostics and atheists - are far more tolerant of religious believers in office than the other way around.

The Weirdest Christian-Republican Sex Scandal Ever

Monday, 5 November 2007 9:45 A GMT+01
You have to feel sorry for Alabama cleric, the Reverend Gary Aldridge. Pastor of a strict community and a long-time friend of Jerry Falwell, Aldridge came to an untimely end a few months back and now details have begun to emerge of what happened.

Teenage Sex: If It Feels Good, Do It [Dispatches]

Monday, 15 October 2007 9:02 A GMT+01
The sort of raw, real sex education children deserve will never happen in our lifetime, not on any large scale, not with the whiny self-righteous Christian Fundies screaming into their underwear and trembling at the sight of their own genitalia.

I'm Sick of All This God Shit

Wednesday, 10 October 2007 8:23 A GMT+01
Christianity exists as a powerful brand, God washes souls whiter than white. A 2000 year old Multinational with a reputation as notorious as Nike or Coca-Cola and a marque as instantly recognizable as the swastika or Mickey mouse's ears.

A Fuck Is a Fuck Is a Fuck - What's Love Got to Do with It?

Thursday, 4 October 2007 9:08 A GMT+01
We must start by shattering the disturbingly naive assumption that sex and love are natural bedfellows, and that the institution through we which we attempt to combine them - monogamy - is a good thing. In fact, it goes against our basic instincts.

American Foreign Policy: A Christian Crusade

Sunday, 30 September 2007 9:48 A GMT+01
American foreign policy is built on a deep foundation of Christian theology. Some of the people who make our foreign policy may understand that foundation. Most probably aren?t even aware of it. Foundations are hidden underground.

Is America a Christian Version of Iran?

Wednesday, 26 September 2007 8:56 A GMT+01
Now that America's nightmares focus on Islamism rather than Marxism, it's odd that we haven't seen a spate of movies depicting idyllic Midwestern towns under control of a Muslim theocracy, as Osama bin Laden envisaged in his latest video.

Christian Fundamentalism in the Church of Extremists

Sunday, 23 September 2007 9:00 A GMT+01
Godmongers are angry that women still have control over their own bodies, that their prayers aren't foisted on every school child, that we don't live in a theocracy, and angry that gays still exist. Now they want be tougher with Republicans.

In God's Name: The Father Figure, Authority & Sexual Repression

Monday, 10 September 2007 8:58 A GMT+01
Why is the US an authoritarian state? For Wilhelm Reich the answer was sexual repression, imposed through the father-dominated family structure produced people dependent on authority and incapable of independent thought and action.

Crazy Christians & Teenage Virgins: Brides of Bush?

Tuesday, 21 August 2007 9:04 A GMT+01
Think sex and drugs destroy America? Try naive chastity. Oh, and "Purity Balls." You should probably fall to your knees right this minute and thank a merciful and lubricious and happily polymorphous sex God that you do not know what they are.

Fucking Hell! Now There's GodTube!

Wednesday, 15 August 2007 9:45 A GMT+01
And baby, if we've learned anything about God and America during this miserable pile of Bush Shit years, it's that the God-fearing of this nation want nothing more than to instill and perpetuate a deep, abiding fear of letting go, of the chaotic.

Republicans Are Sex Perverts

Sunday, 12 August 2007 8:54 A GMT+01
There's something sick and perverted about the right-wing mind set. These people have an obsessively sexual agenda. They are way more fixated with sexual transgression than me and my porn star friends put together, and in a gross exhibitionist way.

The Gospel According to St. George: 50 God Quotes from Bush

Sunday, 12 August 2007 8:53 A GMT+01
"I am driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did." THus spake our crazy Christian-in-Chief
