			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t have anything prepared during finals week, but this was just too hilarious to pass up. First there was <a href="http://bruinskeptics.org/2008/04/26/church-attendance-is-up-and-evil-is-down/">Bibleman</a>, the fundamentalist Christian superhero. Now meet Ultimate Christian Wrestling, the <a href="http://www.ultimatechristianwrestling.com/Faith.html">fundamentalist</a> Christian wrestling federation.</p>
<p>Seriously though &#8211; I may not be any connoisseur of wrestling, but these people are pretty good; they even have the chairs-and-ladders-being-used-as-weapons thing down:<br />

<p>Now all we need is a fake plot with a powerful and amoral wrestling industry mogul to turn this into a man-drama.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 15-or so voters have spoken, so here it is, the FOX piece I was referring to. Warning &#8211; only cynics and masochists need press &#8220;Play&#8221;</p>

<p>This is a FOX <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Opinion</span> News Network <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">documentary</span> propaganda piece featuring Newt Gingrich that appeals to their right-wing audience and runs through all the talking points of why church and state should be joined at the hip. They never mention specifically what kind of religion the US should adopt, but it&#8217;s pretty obvious by looking at the logo.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, there is a superhero named Bibleman, who is shown from time to time on Pat Robertson&#8217;s Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). And fortunately for cynical masochists like myself, there is a full episode up on Google Video.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="500" height="400" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="id" value="VideoPlayback" /><param name="src" value="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-5947024268251735885&amp;hl=en" /><embed id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="400" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=-5947024268251735885&amp;hl=en"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>Premise:</strong> Cypher (Bibleman&#8217;s African-American sidekick) stops a bunch of homosexual thugs from burning a bunch of Bibles. Because burning Bibles is way more evil than murder or genocide. Bibleman, Cypher, and Biblegirl then join forces to defeat the &#8220;Wacky Protester&#8221;, a liberal college atheist who has an evil plan to turn all the world&#8217;s children to atheism. Because nothing could be more evil than a horde of atheist toddlers spreading their ungodly influences on this upstanding God-fearing nation.</p>
<p>But if you thought that was bad, there is an even more shambolic computer game based on this very same episode. Obsolete 15 year old graphics and obviously terrible gameplay <a title="Definition of " href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ftw">FTW</a> -<br />

<p>Bibleman&#8217;s other foes include <a href="http://gawker.com/378326/christian-tv-bibleman-vs-a-new-york-jew">Jewy McJewstein</a>, a stereotypical New York Jew who just can&#8217;t get off his case. Way to create inter-faith dialogue, CBN&#8230;</p>

This is from an HBO documentary called &#8220;Friends of God&#8221; by Alexandra Pelosi (daughter of House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi). In other news, that Whitefro at 5:26 may be the scariest thing I&#8217;ve ever seen &#8211; it&#8217;s far worse than that of the painter guy who used to be on PBS.
