Great, classic routine.

Quoted: Let’s go Godless for the rest of the campaign. I know, it’s not going to happen, with Obama courting evangelicals this week and McCain trying to figure what makes Catholics in the Rust Belt tick. But for a moment, imagine no religion, as John Lennon sang.

Quoted: Big front page headline in today's Star Ledger about Rev. Matthew McNamara. This is the reverend who recently was struck by lightening, and lived. When he regained consciousness in the hospital, he is reported as saying that the first thing he thought was that God loved him. What a crock.

You may have heard of Rev. John Hagee, the McCain supporter who said God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its homosexual "sins." Well now meet Rev. Rod Parsley, the televangelist megachurch pastor from Ohio who hates Islam. According to David Corn of Mother Jones, Parsley has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he considers to be a "false religion." In the past, Parsley has also railed against the separation of church and state, homosexuals, and abortion rights.

John McCain actively sought and received Parsley's endorsement in the presidential race. McCain has called Parsley "a spiritual guide," and he hasn't said whether he shares Parsley's vicious anti-Islam views. That's because the mainstream media refuses to ask.

Quoted: NEW YORK -- The Vatican has exonerated an East Hanover, N.J., priest who was accused of sexually abusing two girls in 1980. Friday, May 2, 2008.

Quoted: A shameful antievolution film tries to blame Darwin for the Holocaust.

So they killed at least two people because the film equated Islam with violence. How do they not get it?

Quoted: A few days after the anti-Islam film “Fitna” was released on the Internet, the Afghan Taliban claim to have attacked Dutch forces in Afghanistan on Sunday. ...The Taliban have declared on the Internet that they launched the two fatal attacks against Dutch soldiers as a response to Geert Wilders' short film that, they say, insulted Islam.

Very funny, in a droll, British sort of way -- these are podcasts on various subjects at least peripherally related to religion.

Quoted: Too lazy and stupid to think for yourself? Welcome to Jesus country.
