As expected, an engaging volley of comments can be found under my last post regarding Christianity and Islam. There were some suggestions that perhaps I have some “blind spots” related to Christian history and practice. Also, that I might have mischaracterized Islam. In order to check my vision I dusted off our Quran, grabbed my computer…
Well, since I have taken on the gay marriage crowd, tremendously effectively I might add, I thought, “Boy howdy, I love to be maligned and to suffer. What other topic am I supposed to have only the politically correct opinion of?” Islam. I should have a go at The Religion of Peace. My daughter came home from…
Last weekend, our home community celebrated the fulfilled Seder. For you recent converts that would be the Passover meal that Jesus ate with His disciples the night before his trial and crucifixion. Ours was a modified version of the elaborate symbolic meal “enjoyed” by Jews which commemorates God leading the Hebrews out of their enslavement in Egypt. For Christians however, through Christ’s death…
Pink has published both his first response to me as well as my second email to him. I would encourage you to stop by his site and read them both. (1/15/15 Update: Pink’s response and my second email can be found at the end of this post.) Friends, I do not want to give the…
Last week a cohort of bloggers spearheaded by a Pink Agendist participated in exposing my real identity. Pink then proceeded to slander my husband and my church on his blog. He published the names and addresses of our home community leaders as well as my friends’ picture. Though some of these people from my church have probably…
Howdy folks! Katy Faust here. I am the big bad author of this blog. I, KATY FAUST, am the official friendly neighborhood bigot. “The Bigot.” If you have read all of the material here you will know that I began this blog because many gay marriage supporters painted all opponents to gay marriage as bigots.…
Well hello. World Vision has reversed course. In what they perceived would be a “neutral” position (obviously no one is reading my blog over there) they announced Monday that they would hire employees who were in same-sex marriages. Undoubtedly shocked at the backlash, yesterday they declared that “the policy change we made was a mistake.” World Vision…
In a public high school outside of Seattle this January, a lesbian teacher asked her class of freshmen to raise their hand if they supported gay marriage. Every hand went up sans one. The one that belonged to a Christian named Gretchen. Later that day, Gretchen was cornered and beat up by Maddy, the star…
I attended a conference on ministry this week that included a session called “Living in the Tension,” which was designed to guide us in ministering to gay peoples. Like most areas of the country, that’s happening here in the Great Northwest on occasion. The discussion reconfirmed a couple truths. First, when people tell you that…
My friend Todd Herman was filling in for Ben Shapiro today on 770 KTTH. He asked me to be his guest. We talked about changing the tone on the gay marriage discussion. For those who have been following askthebigot for a while, there’s not much new here. It was a heavy dose of love-your-gay-neighbor, and…
