Worst Religious Moments of 2008

Wednesday December 31, 2008

Paul Raushenbush at Progressive Revival has put together an excelent list of the "worst religious stories" -- meaning the ones that made us groan or roll our eyes.

Two samples:

7. Prosperity Gospelers add to the foreclosure crisis by preaching that Jesus had provided poor congregants with a house they could not afford.

6. Elizabeth Dole runs the "There is No God" campaign ad accusing opponent Kay Hagen (who teaches Sunday School) of atheism.

Check out the full list. . Any you would add to the list?
