Homemade ice cream from Sick Science! A perfect DIY for a long weekend…
Say What Now of the Day: Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, North Carolina, went on an anti-President Obama rant earlier this month during a sermon. Then he got off topic:
I figured a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers. Build a great, big, large fence — 150- or 100-mile-long — put all the lesbians in there… Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can’t get out… And you know what, in a few years, they’ll die.
He ended his sermon with this thought:
God have mercy. It makes me pukin’ sick to think about — I don’t even whether or not to say this in the pulpit — can you imagine kissing some man?
Notice the “Amens” from the congregation throughout.
That is just scary and very, very wrong and very, very not Christ-like.
And yet I’m thinking of moving to North Carolina?

Kickass Kid of the Day: As 9-year-old Josef Miles and his mother walked around Kansas’ Washburn University campus last weekend, he noticed a group of Westboro Baptist Church members picketing as people headed to graduation ceremonies.
Josef asked mom if he could create his own sign, and promptly staged a one-man protest. His sign, written in pencil on a tiny sketchpad, read simply, “God Hates No One.”

Anti-Bullying Stand of the Day: In a courageous move for the newspaper industry, Iowa’s Sioux City Journaldevoted the entirety of its Sunday front page to an editorial about a local gay teen who recently committed suicide. Kenneth Weishuhn, just 14, was “a kind-hearted, fun-loving teenage boy,” the editorial reads.
“This is not a failure of one group of kids, one school, one town, one county or one geographic area. Rather, it exposes a fundamental flaw in our society, one that has deep-seated roots. Until now, it has been too difficult, inconvenient — maybe even painful — to address. But we can’t keep looking away.”
Beautifully played.

Dang gays.
“I think God is kind of like Santa Claus for adults. Otherwise, God is kind of a jerk, isn’t he? I mean, he makes me gay and then he has his followers going around telling me it’s something that I chose. As if someone would choose to be mocked every single day of their life… You can’t prove there isn’t a magic teapot floating around the dark side of the moon with a dwarf inside of it that reads romance novels and shoots lightening out of its boobs, but it seems pretty unlikely doesn’t it?”— Kurt Hummel, ‘Grilled Cheesus’ (via frodoswaggins)
Yeah, three things are obvious to me:
- Mr. Hummel definitely needs to study a little more theology. Although there are way too many Christians who seem to treat God like Santa Claus, too.
- He also needs to meet a few more Christians outside of Westboro.
- I think it would be pretty easy to prove there’s not a magic teapot floating around the dark side of the moon. Unless he said it were invisible, of course.
And now I’ve got a song in my head. I think I’ve posted it before, so I’ll have to try to look that up. (If not, I will post it soon.)
Another thing that’s funny: I always thought “Hummel” was an Amish Country name. I grew up with several Hummels in school and the area. But I’m weird like that. (It took me years to realize that “Miller” was not strictly an Anabaptist name, too.)
