"S8TAN" License Finally Gets Approved in Alabama

Don't speed, though. They'll be looking for you.

• After first denying an Alabama Satanist a license plate that spelled out “S8TAN” for being “offensive to the peace and dignity of the State of Alabama,” the Department of Motor Vehicles has had a change of heart— by which we mean the Freedom From Religion Foundation spooked them with a letter.

• In a painful feat of drivel, Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver concluded that “queer” people are sexual attracted to everything in the universe, therefore they’re pedophiles. (That’s not what “Q” stands for in LGBTQ.)

  Religious-right activist Mat Staver claims that the Equality Act will protect pedophiles because the "Q" in LGBTQ "includes the entire universe and that universe can include ... what we would call pedophilia."

  

• Canadian apologist Sye Ten Bruggencate, better known in atheist circles for being the Presuppositionalist who debated Matt Dillahunty in 2014, has left public ministry for an unnamed “moral failing.”

• Christian Nationalist and former West Virginia city councilman Eric Barber has been arrested and charged for his alleged role in the January 6th Capitol insurrection. Barber originally lied and said he “did not enter the building.” Not only did he lie, he broke into a restricted government building and stole a portable powerstation and media stand belonging to C-SPAN.

• A story we broke about a misogynistic pastor who told wives to lose weight is now getting coverage in major publications.

• The guy who shops at Hot Topic for middle-aged biker-pastors comes off as a tad insecure while he yells at the rest of us for being “pussies” for wearing masks.

  Dressed like a WWE wrestler, pastor Keith Craft of Elevate Life Church in Frisco, Texas rants against wearing masks, screams that he’s not afraid of COVID and says, “Our country is being run by a bunch of pussies!” h/t @Bbizzle

  

• Finally, Idaho State Rep. Charlie Shepherd opposed a bill that would give children access to early education because he fears women will get too comfortable with having time to themselves (or working).
