Some god stuff

A few points apropos to the Religious Right:

1. Romney's followers inflated the straw poll at the "Value Voters" summit. I sincerely doubt the average Evangelical will vote for this guy.
   


2. The scandal at Oral Roberts U. keeps getting juicier.


3. From a USAToday article: Majorities of young people in America describe modern-day Christianity as judgmental, hypocritical and anti-gay. What's more, many Christians don't even want to call themselves "Christian" because of the baggage that accompanies the label. A new book based on research by the California-based research firm The Barna Group found that church attitudes about people in general and gays in particular are driving a negative image of the Christian faith among people ages 16-29...The vast majority of non-Christians — 91% — said Christianity had an anti-gay image, followed by 87% who said it was judgmental and 85% who said it was hypocritical. Such views were held by smaller percentages of the active churchgoers, but the faith still did not fare well: 80% agreed with the anti-gay label, 52% said Christianity is judgmental, and 47% declared it hypocritical.(h/t -- "This Week in God")


4. If you can't beat 'em, and don't qualify to join 'em, sue 'em! Godidiots with an education in Biblical Biology 101 are finding their admissions applications rejected, as if Young Earth Creationism is not equal to Biology:

   He was referring to the charge that the university rejected core courses using textbooks by leading Christian publishers Bob Jones University Press and A Beka Book because of religious content. These included biology texts that presented evolution but also the biblical account of creation and intelligent design as alternative theories.

   Damn those liberal secular elitists! Always demanding that "alternative theories" have "supplementing evidence" that isn't, "'cause the Bible says so"!
