In what has to be one of the most brilliant marketing moves, former prostitutes are now preaching the word of God.

The hookers are using their knowledge and experience performing rusty trombones, Cleavland steamers, blumpkins, and dirty sanchezes, to convert non believers to put their love in Jesus Christ.

While many call them dirty vag whores whose recently stained lips should never mention the Lords name, others call them to have sex for money.

The controversy will continue but one thing will remain the same, women can sell anything as long as they have working vaginas.

This Santa would be creepy by himself, but the kid's reaction makes it picture perfect.  Maybe she was a really bad girl this year and mommy decided to unleash the creepy santa on her?

SoMA whips it out once again with "For the Love of Agape," a fabulous look at what an evangelical sex shop might provide. My favorite excerpt:

New Agape-Approved Sex Books:

• “The Illustrated Song of Solomon.”
• “The Complete Story of Adam and Eve,” with glossy photographs; comes in fig-leaf or no-fig-leaf versions, depending on your inhibitions.
• “Love Stories From the Bible”: Includes: Abraham and Sarah and Pharaoh; Isaac and Rebecca and Leah; King Solomon and Seven Hundred Wives and Three Hundred Concubines (diagrams included).
• “Loving with Authority” (for men only) by Rev. Richard Land.
• “The Women’s Sex Guide: Complete Submission for Complete Satisfaction,” by James Dobson.
• “Celibacy is Not a Hands-On Job: Or Play with Yourself, Play with Fire,” by Cardinal Ratzinger.

Enjoy the fish sticks!

For the last 10 years I've always gone to church on Maundy Thursday. Last night I missed the service because of work so I went kind of late at night, during a full moon, and hung out in the chapel for the vigil. (Episcopal churches strip the altar of all communion stuff, then some churches have an all-night vigil -- representing staying up to pray with Jesus in the garden of G as he asked). Anyway, it's the first time that I've ever done a real DIY church service -- when I got there the chapel had about 15 other people in it, and when I left it was down to about 5.

Fun things first: there was a guy in the front row with a big head cold who kept sniffing, which didn't bother me, and would occasionally say some two-word phrase out loud, which also didn't bother me. My favorite: "Oy Vey". I was momentarily distracted by that to laugh.

2nd fun thing: my eyes were closed most of the time because I meditate better that way, but one of the times they were open a very yummy and friendly and straight-looking guy came into the chapel. I was momentarily distracted by the shock of a hot, seemingly straight, dude, at an Episcopal church for a tiny little ritual. I'm still intrigued. I didn't see if he had a wedding ring on.

Anyway, I was able to get past the distraction and decided to structure meditation in the old "how to pray" way -- Adoration, Thanksgiving, Confession, Intercession, Petition -- ie God is great, thank God, I messed up, pray for others, pray for myself.

I've been hearing more and more of this "revisionist" history of Judas lately.  In fact, I even heard mention of it at a Holy Thursday service a few years ago.  The question remains: Was Judas simply fulfilling the plan for his life and helping Jesus fulfill God's plan for salvation? 

Regardless, I like that this text and others remind us that tradition and church leadership has been an important factor in shaping the modern Bible.  To many people see the Bible as similar to the Islamic belief on the Koran--a book handed down directly from God to man--rather than a set of documents that came together over hundreds of years guided by the Holy Spirit.  There's some of my Catholic theology coming at you!

New Twist on Judas in Ancient Text

Made in 300 A.D. in Coptic script on 13 sheets of papyrus, both front and back, the document is believed to be a translation of the original Gospel of Judas, written in Greek the century before.

Presented on Thursday by the National Geographic Society at a news conference in Washington, D.C., the Gospel of Judas was discovered in the Egyptian desert near Beni Masar in the 1970s.
