WELCOME!

WELCOME to our new blog, No Human Gospel.  We are a group of bloggers, some of whom used to post at Stand Firm in Faith until that site went dark, and we have looked for an opportunity to expand our horizons ever since.  For now, we are using the Blogger platform because it’s simple to get up and running.  Also, we will be moderating all comments here, until we get comfortable with our audience.     We take as our theme the words of St. Paul, in his letter to the Galatians (1:8, 11-12): “Even if we – or, for that matter, an angel from heaven! – were to announce to you some so-called “Good News” contrary to the Good News we did announce to you, let him be under a curse forever! . . .

As detailed in this biography , he was a fierce partisan during the years of the Vichy government's betrayal of France, and played a leading role in the forces of the Resistance movement -- at considerable risk to his own life. The same book chronicles his lifelong friendship with another Resistance supporter, the Algerian-born Albert Camus, who clandestinely inspired his countrymen through his uplifting editorials published, despite numerous Nazi attempts at suppression, in an underground journal of the French resistance during World War II, c...

Zombie Comedy

So who is the most unfunny "comedian" in America? Kathy Griffin? Bill Maher? Chelsea Handler? There are lots of choices, the state of comedy being what it is these days. My nominee would be Sarah Silverman, a semi-literate woman known mostly for voice work ( The Simpsons , Crank Yankers , and Wreck-It Ralph ), sexual and scatological "humor," and the foulest mouth this side of an NBA locker room. She did nothing to change that reputation in a recent plunge into abortion politics. According to LifeNews : On February 1, the Lady Parts Justice League , (founded by Daily Show creator Lizz Winstead) held a 'telethon,' called Life Is a Living Nightmare: A Telethon to Fix It. [I won't link to it. If you want to pollute your mind, you can find it on YouTube.] The fundraiser, hosted by Winstead herself, along with comedian Sarah Silverman, featured almost 4 hours of bizarre content, including abortion charades, an interview with abortionist Willie Parker, and p...
