When I was in high school, I would often wear Christian t-shirts. Some were what I would now consider offensive — I remember one said “no Jesus no peace” which is a ridiculous assertion, and another one where people were roasting over a grill with some kind of warning about hell.
Hmm, I wonder why I [...]
I somehow missed this story a couple months ago, and I figure if I missed it, at least some others did.
Marwa Ali El-Sherbini moved to Germany in 2005. In Aug 2008, a man (Alex W.) shouted abuse at Marwa at a public playground, calling her a terrorist and a slut because she was wearing a [...]
Ed Brayton has posted a statement from an American military officer about his experiences in the military. Here are some highlights:
During my second year at the West Point, my Squad Leader for summer training expressed disapproval on numerous occasions with my being Jewish, and, during one mission, he grabbed my MRE (a military meal) as [...]

By cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, [...]
Here’s Joe the Idiot speaking about homosexuality and the word “queer”:
People don’t understand the dictionary—it’s called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we’re supposed to do—what man and woman [...]
Michael asks:
I recently went from Christianity to Agnosticism, and have taken a lot of heat for it from family friends. They really attempt to make me feel extremely bad for the way I believe. I am not sure where they see it is right to treat other people this way, but nonetheless, nothing will change [...]
