Some chrisTians Mad because a Pastor Had an Opportunity to Bash Gay People and Didn’t Take It

<snip>

Here’s the backstory: A husband and wife attended a place called North Point Church in Atlanta. They had a daughter together. At some point, the husband started having an affair with another married man. (Scandalous!) It was serious, too, and the men wanted to be together. Not only that, but they also wanted to attend the same church as the wife. That understandably made her upset. So the gay couple attended another North Point church in a different location. They even began volunteering there. During all this, the husband and wife got divorced. However, his partner’s divorce was not finalized.

When North Point’s head pastor Andy Stanley found out about all this, he asked the men to step down from their posts. He could not condone the in-your-face adultery that was going on within his own church. The partner and his wife were still technically together, after all!

Some time passed. The wife began a new relationship. The gay couple was still together. All of them were very civil (even friendly) with each other. They now all attend the same church together. Isn’t that special…?

So why is any of this news?

Because Stanley told this story at his church a couple of weeks ago. And at no point in Stanley’s story did he mention that he ever told the couple, “YOU’RE GAY AND THAT’S A SIN!” How *dare* a pastor not use a perfectly good opportunity to bash gay people?!

Boulder's famous 'falling bear' killed on U.S. 36

Source: Daily Camera

The bear famously tranquilized on the University of Colorado campus last week, and immortalized in a viral photo by CU student Andy Duann, met a tragic death early Thursday in the Denver-bound lanes of U.S. 36.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials said a 280-pound black bear that died on U.S. 36 after being hit by a car at about 5:40 a.m. Thursday was the same bear that became known worldwide last week after wandering onto the CU campus near the Williams Village dorm complex.

The bear, photographed in a now-famous image by Duann in mid-air falling from a tree after being tranquilized, was picked up by wildlife officials Thursday morning about a half-mile from the Cherryvale bridge southeast of Boulder.

Colorado State Patrol Trooper Josh Lewis said two cars were involved in the accident, resulting in minor injuries to one of the drivers.

Metroplex Atheists Challenge The Power Of Prayer

Metroplex Atheists Challenge The Power Of Prayer

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Does the power of prayer really work? One group in North Texas has serious doubts and they’ve issued a challenge to local churches to prove them wrong. “We’re constantly inundated with I’ll be praying for you from all of our Christian friends,” explained Randy Word, president of the Metroplex Atheists.

The Metroplex Atheists and its 500 members are challenging any church in North Texas to pray that one of its non-believers will become Christian. “This is a chance for them {Christians} to demonstrate that their claims actually work,” said Word.

<snip>

McDonald and fellow atheists are giving any church three months to a year to pray for Terry’s conversion to Christianity. If McDonald converts, he promises to publicly announce his faith in God.

<snip>

Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist, Dallas says his church has no plans to accept the challenge, because he says it’s based on the false pretense that all prayers are answered. “The bible doesn’t promise that. The bible promises that God will answer every prayer that is within his will,” said Jeffress.

Phallic party favors upset iParty shopper

Phallic party favors upset iParty shopper
Quincy teacher upset by phallic party favors at iParty

QUINCY —

“Dora the Explorer balloons do not belong in the same store as dancing penises,” Michelle Andrews said in an email to The Patriot Ledger.

“It’s a family store,” the Quincy preschool teacher said later when contacted by telephone. “It’s so inappropriate.”

A visit by a Patriot Ledger reporter to the store on Granite Street in Quincy Center confirmed that the bachelorette items that Andrews found offensive were on display in an aisle across the store from the children’s area. The favors included genital-shaped whistles, wind-up toys and candy, and other items. The shelf is marked “grown-ups only, please,” but at least one couple with a preteen daughter walked past the bachelorette shelf.

<snip>

Andrews said she called the city clerk’s office and was told that the adult items should have been kept in a separate section of the store open only to shoppers 18 and older. An attempt to contact City Clerk Joe Shea on Wednesday for confirmation of that policy was unsuccessful.

Gilbert mass killing: Border militia leader identified as shooter

A border militia leader on Wednesday shot and killed four people at a Gilbert home, including a toddler, before committing suicide, sources said.

Sources identified the shooter as Jason "J.T." Ready, a reputed neo-Nazi who made headlines when he launched a militia movement to patrol the Arizona desert to hunt for illegal immigrants and drug smugglers.

Ready was a former Marine who headed the the U.S. Border Guard, a militia-style group that routinely performed armed patrols in the southern Arizona desert.

At least one person survived the shooting.

SHARKS WITH FRICKIN' LASER BEAMS ATTACHED TO THEIR HEADS!!!!!!

Real Lasers on Actual Sharks

Last week, a company called Wicked Lasers promised to attach lasers to sharks if enough people Liked the idea on Facebook. They did. It happened. It is awesome.

What you see before you is a 50-milliwatt green laser on a lemon shark. It was rather bravely put there by marine biologist Luke Tipple off the coast of the Bahamas, explains Wired.

It was fastened to the shark's dorsal fin using a non-invasive clamp, so no sharks were harmed in the making of this photo. According to Tipple, the lemon shark was chosen for its "predictable and relatively docile swimming behavior during the day, ease of access in shallow water, and size of the dorsal fin." That meant they were able to keep track of the fish, and even remove the laser at the end of the day.

But is it really worthy of being an exotic toy of a super villain? Sadly not. Tipple explains:
