On New Year's Day, a suicide bombing killed 21 people at a Coptic church in Alexandria, Egypt. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was quick to accuse foreign groups of orchestrating the attack, while domestic investigators turned their attention to extremist groups within the country. Now, new evidence has emerged to suggest that Al-Qaeda may have at least lain out the groundwork for the plot via ...

So here's the dilemma: You're a devout Christian who wants to show off your dedication to abstinence, but you really detest physical objects. You prefer all your knickknacks to come in a virtual form on your iPhone screen. You've got a Virtual Zippo, an iPhone leveler, you even prefer to poking at virtual zits over the real thing. So what are you, the pious-but-tech-savvy, to do? One option is ...

Alright Christians and Catholics, you know what time it is. It's Lent time! Next Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten season, which, for the uninitiated out there, is a period of fasting and sacrifice meant to remind the faithful of the 40 days and nights Jesus spent wandering in the desert. Usually, practitioners choose one vice or habit to give up for the 40 days, such as ...

If you've spent any of the last couple of years on the surface of the Earth breathing and talking to people (as opposed to hiding in the depths of the planet with the mole people), you've no doubt heard of GoDaddy and its tradition of airing risque ads during the Super Bowl. The ads always generated quite a bit of attention -- one was even pulled by the network before it could air -- but this ...

Guitar Praise 'Rocking Jesus' trailer Oh man... we were excited when we first heard about 'Guitar Praise,' but now that we've seen the three-minute over-explanatory trailer, we might just buy two copies, just in case one isn't enough to get us heathens past St. Peter. The 'Guitar Hero' clone features songs from Christian Rock acts like Day of Fire and Family Force 5 (What!? no Stryper?), as ...

We're not exactly sure why those crazy Christians need to make Jesus-centric versions of everything in sight. Talking Jesus Dolls; preachy, porno-free YouTube clones; cross shaped music players; they just can't leave anything alone. So it came as no surprise when we heard the people who thought 'Dance Dance Revolution' wasn't godly enough were releasing 'Guitar Praise: Solid Rock.' We're pretty ...

Evangelist Mums will love little Paul and Maria's new best friend, the Talking Tales of Glory Jesus Doll. Instead of babbling secular tales of Mudblups and potatoes, á la Teddy Ruxpin and Talking Alf, the Christian BFF spouts biblical verse, psalms, salvation! The doll's peddlers claim that its divine powers can "create a personal connection with Jesus." Take that to your Barbie! Instead ...

We joke about how gaming, especially online first person shooters (in this case 'Halo'), are the domain of basement dwelling uber-dorks and sociopaths. Sadly every once in a while someone has to go and do something that gives the entire online gaming community a bad name. The emotionally unbalanced loon in question this time is Joshua Stetar. Stetar, 20, was arrested last week in Spokane, ...
