Gov. Cuomo said Sunday that Mayor de Blasio would be judged by a higher power for his mismanagement of the city’s scandal-rocked Housing Authority. “You’re in government, you’re supposed to make things happen, you’re supposed to actually produce results for people,” Cuomo said. “When we get to the pearly gates, I’m sure God will have a lot to say about it.” De Blasio spokesman Eric Phillips shot back, “We’re glad Gov. Cuomo’s obsession with Bill de Blasio has the governor focusing on NYCHA for the first time in his long political career.” City Hall recently agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors that could potentially pump $2.2 billion over the next decade into the city’s crumbling public housing. That, however, is just a fraction of the $31.8 billion that NYCHA will need to bring its 326 developments back to a state of good repair, the latest needs assessment found. The deal also required the city … [Read more...] about Cuomo says God will judge de Blasio on NYCHA scandal

Frances McDormand Is, As We Suspected, God… In Upcoming Neil Gaiman Show
ENTERTAINMENT 07/22/2018 04:04 pm ET McDormand will voice the creator in the end-of-the world Amazon show Good Omens. By Andy McDonald We can now confirm two things many of us long suspected: 1) God is a woman; 2) that woman is Frances McDormand. The actress, twice the winner of Best Actress Oscars, will voice God in the upcoming Amazon series “Good Omens,” creator Neil Gaiman announced at the show’s San Diego Comic-Con panel on Friday. The comedy/drama series, based on the book by Gaiman and the late author Terry Pratchett, follows an angel and demon, played by Michael Sheen and David Tennant respectively, living on Earth as the apocalypse approaches. The two unlikely friends are having such an enjoyable time among the humans that they’d prefer that the world didn’t end, and do everything they can to keep it from happening. “Good Omens,” which also stars Jon Hamm, Nick Offerman and Miranda … [Read more...] about Frances McDormand Is, As We Suspected, God… In Upcoming Neil Gaiman Show
God, Mammon and politics: DAVE NEESE PROVOCATIONS
The evangelicals have made their peace with Donald Trump, and that fact drives liberals to paroxysms of spluttering, spewing, purple-faced anger. Nothing gets them more pxxxed off. “Remember” — say the liberals — “how piety-purveying conservatives called down the wrath of Elohim on Bill Clinton over his salacious adventures with the opposite sex?” Liberals now pose the rhetorical question: Does Trump worship well-endowed Priapus, god of the male libido, any less fervently than Bill Clinton did? At least Bill Clinton, hailing from Bible-Belt Arkansas, could work a scriptural quotation into his slippery shtick every now and then. Trump could no more quote you scripture than he could quote you Schopenhauer’s ruminations on metaphysical will. Yet the evangelicals — one-quarter of the population, according to a Pew Research Foundation survey — stick with sinner Trump.

Bill Uhrich: Examining the biblical concept of ‘whole counsel of God’
Sunday July 22, 2018 12:01 AM Some Christians yearn for an angry, violent Jesus. I reckon there's a significant cohort of Christians who desperately yearn for an angry, violent Jesus.We received a letter to the editor that responded to both a previous column of mine wherein I concluded the New Testament testimony is one of love and mercy and a published letter from reader Abraham Gehman supporting that view.Because the letter writer did not include the required contact information, his letter couldn't be published, but it found its way to my desk.For that same reason, I won't mention his name here.His letter teems with sarcasm about our support for keeping together families seeking asylum in the United States.He asserts that Abraham and I are followers of an "effeminate, pacifist nice-guy" Jesus, whereas he prefers the compassionless, whip-wielding Jesus of the temple-cleansing scene.It's no use trying to reason with someone who possesses such a skewed theological world … [Read more...] about Bill Uhrich: Examining the biblical concept of ‘whole counsel of God’
